There you catch me. I've only seen him with Spain and he seemed fast but very predictable. He doesn't have a great repertoire of plays to use that speed.
With Spain I remember that he played a few minutes as a RB.or you mean in 352?
In any case, they would ask us for a lot of money that I personally would not invest for that position

RB/RWB same thing. I think he would have incredible value in the build up. And wolves are definitely selling and not for outrageous money

We have the money, no point not spending it. And everywhere else there's either no one worth investing into, or we've already planned who to sign(Mbappé & Haaland)

I bet you're fun at parties

Very, and if you'll buy me a pint I'll maybe even sing something. but seriously I just little bit worry for my club that's all.

How many of those players will need replacing though? Ronaldo/Greenwood cover Cavani, Pogba for me is a loss on the left but not in cm, VDB is barely even here now lets be honest.

Do we really want to depend on a 37yo and a teenager ? If pogba goes we'll get weaker, it doesn't matter where he plays,
And even if we'll buy the DM next year Donny won't want to hear any of this from Ole because you know he'll try to promise him game time after we brought the DM but he'll have enough after 3 years of not playing.

It's a real shame we are not getting a top CDM, for me it guarantees us not winning the league or CL. Not that many think we will of course but we certainly won't with the options we have, in my opinion.

It is a clear weakness that won't be nullified just because we have about 8 attackers for 3 positions. Matic was once class but can barely play 70 mins a week, Fred is utterly calamitous, McTominay is full of heart but quite a limited player...and Donny has his ass glued to the bench. Replace those with the City or Chelsea midfielders and they wouldn't be winning the league either.

It is really difficult to understand the lack of urgency by Ole to fix this issue.

There was more chance of Donny starting 5 games this season than Camavinga ever joining. All the noise was about him having no desire to come to United. At least he can be removed from conversation now.

Is anyone surprised? Great signing on the cheap. Even if he doesn’t become a worldie potential to recoup that fee.

Jesus just when you think this window couldn’t get stranger..

 

[Robbie Boy]

He's been a bit shite for a while. Head has been turned for awhile

He's been absolutely atrocious for some time now. He clearly wanted a move, but this certainly doesn't seem a particularly good one.

 

[Alemar]

Is anyone surprised?

Yes. Seem strange that he chose Real over United.

Real Madrid and (usually) Barca have it so easy, everyone wants to go to sunny Spain. Even when the teams are far from what they were.

What reason would they have for loaning him out

 

[sparx99]

Send Lindy to BHA for Bissouma.

Is Bissouma any better than Fred or McTominay?

 

[Ramshock]

This is another great drinking game bingo hit on these boards since Fergie left.

We don't need depth if the depth is Championship level (James) or cannot perform against the opposition and tactics we face week in, week out (Lingard vs low block is a waste).

We need to have the depth of Man City, not West Ham. Up your standards and open your eyes.



I really don't think so. OGS didn't pick him last season AT ALL before that loan and now we have Sancho AND Ronaldo and Greenwood's firing on all cylinders.

As much as I don't rate Lingard in our squad, he's an easy star of Payet's level when playing for WHU when they set up on the counter. Not to mention the easy FPL points.

If he doesn't move this season (or go on a loan with a new contract), he'll miss his last chance for a World Cup as well. It's the smart and right choice for him to go.

Tldr but here how is this Oles fault? He doesnt control the money. He has said repeatedly in pressers he would always like more players.

Madrid’s new stadium and the fact they’re probably getting Mbappe would sway your choice, but yeah it is really sickening that everyone wants to play for them..

 

[Matt851]

Is Bissouma any better than Fred or McTominay?

Yes, much

To be fair i think mct is a lot nore use than fred but bissouma is hetter than both

 

[sparx99]

Can't help but be envious of your midfield options. Especially the holding players like Casemiro, Valverde and now Camavinga.

I’d take our defence and attackers though.

Who is that though? Like name the top CDM’s? Kante, Casemiro, Busquets, Fabinho, Fernandinho, Rodri? They all play for top sides. Which leaves us with the list we know of this summer.

Rice - price tag of £100m that is too much when we’ve bought Sancho and Varane.

Neves - not always in the Wolves team so why is an upgrade for us. He has passing and shooting skills that are something our CM lacks but he’s not the holding midfielder in the DM mould. He’s closer to maybe Carrick but I’m not sure he has that ceiling.

Camavinga - more of a box to box at this point in his young career and always wanted Spain.

Bissouma - is he an upgrade on Fred, McTominay or Pogba? I don’t know. At least he’s play ahead of Matic but I don’t think he’s a guaranteed success.

Zakaria - seems another Fred to me. Outplayed by Xhaka at the Euros.

Locatelli - wanted Juventus.

Is there anyone playing at the likes of Sevilla, Villareal, Napoli, Atalanta etc that we could have plucked? Those mid tier CL level clubs who need money and can’t hold out for £50m+ fees. I haven’t heard any of those names this summer. Just seems like DM or DLP’s are in short supply right now.

 

[sparx99]

Yes, much

Based on what though? One season playing for Brighton in the PL. Its a very different role looking busy playing for a lower half side.

I reckon McTominay would be on a lot of ‘must buy’ lists if he had his season last year at Brighton.

 

[awop]

What reason would they have for loaning him out

It would make no sense. Why give Barca any hope when this could be a Madrid duel for La Liga. Money might be tight but he's not on Griezmann like wages and if they manage to offload Saul tomorrow there is no need.

At some stage we've got to find the money by hook or by crook to stump up the transfer fee for Wilfred Ndidi..

It seems Chelsea are even in profit from sales and that’s after buying Lukaku for £97m, pretty good business that.

Rio was harsh on Phil Jones recently but looks like his comments may apply to Lingard's situation.

Feck sakes

 

[groovyalbert]

I just don't get why Ndidi isn't spoken about more in regards to midfield options.

He's genuinely the perfect fit for us and surely outgrown Leicester at this point. He lets Tielemans and Madison do pretty much what they like in regards to getting forward, and Vardy can basically buzz around on the should of defenders.

After those at the best clubs, he's the CDM we should be in for.

Sigh... Saul was my biggest hope cuz he was at least available.. Chelsea buying even though they don't really need him, at least not as much as us.

 

[mav_9me]

Is Bissouma any better than Fred or McTominay?

Maybe, maybe not. But definitely would be our 3rd best option right away.

Yeah disappointing to see we didn't at least try and rival Chelsea for him and would have easily got in this team over theirs

Would be my ideal signing but I think it’ll have to wait until next summer. Maybe we do a last minute deal for Neves tomorrow.

This article sums up why we need Ndidi though in my opinion...

Well that one wasn’t exactly a shocking turn of events . He was probably prepared for some months; same for most of them.

 

[2E_MUFC]

I don’t get why people want Saul? He isn’t the kind of midfielder we need at all.
