Could, should, would, every single transfer is a risk, doesn't mean we should be constantly miserable and only look at negatives all the frecking time.
yeah but what when he does that on rashford in training, trying to make a name for himself?

It's well reported Liverpool considered but decided not to follow up.
Our very own top G
Potentially because he wanted United since June. I remember hearing Athletico wanted him but not sure what happened there.
This...this is good business. I can't believe it. 
I wonder if ETH will play him alongside Casemiro or if he'll be a sub.
We've basically paid an extra €10m in total to comply with FFP for this year, because we couldn't raise enough cash through player sales to match Fiorentina's €25m asking price.
Not entirely happy with our window. If we knew we weren't going for Caicedo early on, then Amrabat should have been a priority over Mount who we overpaid on.

Finally. I think he's much better than some people expect him to be. Anyways its all Mount's fault.
Why do you keep sharing Troll Football tweets. They’re the absolute worst. I’m yet to see one that is in the slightest bit funny.
no one passed him over. he refused to negotiate with any other teams as he wanted Utd.
You've obviously never seen him play or done any research on him.
Liverpool clearly did. Atletico were also considering him but never made a move. I'm sorry, there is no way he had multiple offers from other big teams and passed them up on the off chance we come in for him. If any of the big teams made a move for him, he would've taken the offer. He was clearly looking to move to any bigger team than Fiorentina.
That's a bad passer is it not?
He has to play surely.
Yeah I'm just being cautious at this point because I want to see him in action for us first and see how he does.
Fred is a pretty bad passer.
Maybe 4-2-3-1 with Casemiro and Amrabat as the two, Rashford and Bruno and Antony as the 3, with Rasmus as the one up top when available.
I think that is by a mile our most balanced side.
Can’t believe we are making him sail to Manchester. This club can be so fecking tight sometimes.
mate fred is shite, just doesn't think quick enough for the prem league
I don't think there was any doubt behind the scenes we wouldn't get this deal over the line, so of course he'd be happy to refuse offers if he wanted to come to us.
Probably play with against the bigger teams. Can also allow us to rest Casemiro in league matches before a big CL game.
Never said he is like Fred. Said he has same energy as Fred.
I love this player and I’m so glad we finally got him, I genuinely think he was our number two choice after Rabiot on a free but then became the number one option, as soon as Rabiot extended at Juventus, we switched our attention and really only wanted a loan with option to buy.
Our Midfield Options are now - CDM/CM (Casemiro, S Amrabat, K Mainoo,
C Ericsen)
And for - AM/8/10
(C Ericsen, Bruno Fernandez, M Mount,
J Sancho, S Mctominay, H Mejbri)
So 7/8 options for midfield with Hanibal probably going on loan either now or January.
if Scot gets sold we will keep Hanibal Mejbri, personally I’d like to keep Mctominay and play him as an 8/10 from the bench.

Let's revisit this post in 2 months . Quote me if I am wrong and I will Quote you if you are.
It's also been widely reported that he's set on working with Ten Hag at Utd again. And you don't know it was an 'off chance' either – we have no idea what was said to him.
You have to wonder whether an Amrabat, Casemiro and Bruno midfield would finally give us the balance we have been searching for since Carrick and Scholes retired.
Thats actually a proper midfield.

Happy we got him.
Me too. We have a few options for that '3' with Garnacho, Sancho, Eriksen, Mount as possible players for those spots. It also makes us more solid in the middle and would give the fullbacks more opportunities to get forward as Casemiro/Amrabat can get across quickly to act as cover if needed. I would be very surprised if we don't see this at some point in the near future.
If he has 1 year left and we have an option to buy, can't we just not buy and pick him up for free at the end of June? Probably missing something here...
Never seen him play, but glad we got a mid fielder to support Casemiro. Maybe till mount is back, a midfield of Sofyan sitting, Casemiro playing a bit ahead with Bruno at the top may work as Casemiro's passes is underrated and Sofyan is there to cover him.
Would he be registered in time for the Arsenal game?
The club had the option of extending the contract to another year if i am not mistaken.
Thats a good point. Casemiro seems to be more comfortable playing somewhat further forward so far
No, the press has mugged you.
We really need to replace our right flank and RCB next year.
2 months might be a bit quick, but absolutely lets see if anyone is saying Fred was better mid way and at the end of the season
I dont disagree, but that doesnt mean Amrabat does
