Yeah, he's not perfect, but young legs in the midfield would help and 17M is nothing. We can probably sell McTominay for close to that to another Prem side.

Stop stealing our defenders!
What do you mean steal? He was lying around underappreciated.

Translation: stop signing shite like Maguire, Wan Bissaka and Alex Telles, and start buying players who are good enough to get us back to the top. We really need to get our recruitment spot on over the next few windows.
Ten Hag should make Varane captain and sell Maguire.
Sure. Then who will fill in for 60% of the games he misses

Fair enough, I disagree and think he'd do particularly well in Eth's midfield. Hard worker, solid box to box ability and appears to have a cracking mentality. Couple that with his set piece contributions and I reckon for 40m he'd be a steal. I mean, that's a DVB these days..
Also I'd bet SAF would have been after him were he still in charge. He's nothing like Charlie Adam.
Yeah that was a daft comparison
It wasn't though. JWP is a worse player than Fred - and it's not even a close thing. He's bang average at everything bar set pieces

Juve have been introduced as a possible destination for Akanji.
I haven't watched much Dortmund but have never been particularly impressed with this guy.
Although we didn't get him but I'm very happy that we are trying to go on these type of players
Yeah of course we offered him 150k a week.
I guess just cut out Dortmund and try and sign them before they go there 
Is this the first we have mentioned Greenwood anywhere ?
I imagine he also accepted less to play for Dortmund, too.
He will supposedly cost beweteen €30m to €40m. A sizeable wage goes along with such a valuation.
160k per week is more than Jordan Henderson earns. It would make him Liverpool’s 6th highest earner. If we’re offering that money to a 20 year old who has played in Austria we are going nowhere and have learned absolutely feck all.
Liverpool have made and offer, too?!
Sorry, what?
Liverpool have made and offer, too?!
Sorry I was distraced while typing that. I was was confused why you were comparing this to Liverpool's wage structure, so I asked whether they made an offer, too. If the numbers online are to be believed, then the reported offer would have put him in the middle tier at United. That doesn't sound very far fetched to me. Especially since I assume trying to hijack another deal means offering a million or two per year extra.
I don’t disagree it’s a very United thing to do the past decade. My point is we shouldn’t be offering that wage for a player of this profile and if we are then this new era is going nowhere. I’m hoping it’s nonsense.

On the Adeyemi note, I'm actually not too surprised that we'd go for a last-second bid given our current striker situation, but I guess Dortmund would be a more attractive proposition for him at this time. He'll probably be more comfortable there than he would be in Manchester.

He was banned due to his involvement in the Beram Kayal transfer from Celtic to Brighton. He initially disclosed that he was working for Brighton but was also working for Kayal, too. In this period of time, Zahavi cannot function as an intermediary in any of the transfers involving English clubs.
Just another 2 year extension. Smart. Hopefully we do the same now with Judge gone.
Uh oh.
