Oh right sorry. They have a wage cap as well as being up to their necks in debt.

No need to apologize, that’s just my interpretation of it.,
La Repubblica may be a well-respected newspaper that's been around for a long time, but they're terrible about reporting transfer news just as all Italian newspapers are.
No you're right. I'd forgotten that bit.
Yet another rebuttal to the Ronaldo story from La Repubblica:

This guy is captain negative, so this is HUGE news
At least shows the ship is not leaky and they’re quietly going about their business
To be honest, I had a lot of faith that was the case with Murtogh, it's natural we're all a bit impatient though when most of us checked out of the season early.
Well this would certainly line up with our rumoured budget of 120m
FDJ - 80m
Vitinha - 40m
Ebiowei - Free

From the live blog, Whitwell states that there's no guarantee of either an option or obligation being included in the loan deal.
But apparently our inept board can’t do 3 signings at once. Amiright lads?!
Make some space on your sofa, damn straight!
We don't need him and FdJ. Too many forward-thinking players and still no DM
Not saying it's wrong but would Vitinha make sense alongside FDJ? From what I've seen of him he's a good passer and progresser of the ball but wouldn't call him a dm or anything. Not particularly great at winning the ball back either and neither is FDJ.

If we get those 2 we won't need to play a dm,Christ those 2 in midfield will be perfect.
Good, sick of agents/players/clubs taking United to the cleaners and it's time we rightly fecked them off when trying.
I'm falling in love with Murtough
What is the worlds obsession lately with a DM?
We do, should anyone of them get injured during the season standard in possession remains the same and we don't have to fall back to McTominay and Fred. One of them might play but at least they would be playing with either one Vitinha/De Jong that isn't injured.
Well now we know who Murtough/Arnold's mouthpiece is
We should re-name this place conspiracy theory CAFWell now we know who Murtough/Arnold's mouthpiece is
This is embarrassing. Wow. A player who doesn't want to be at United.
A player who wasn't good enough for Wolves.
And a player who got relegated to league 1.
What an amazing club

Apart from they're all priced in Euros and our budget would be in Pounds - well Ebiowei was in pounds.
Who?
You're kidding, right? I'm not too arsed about what the world thinks but we have had a massive issue for years with the lack of a true DM that will, above other things, shield the CB's.
Fred, Scotty, VDB, Garner, Bruno FdJ and a few from the youth would be enough cover. I'm not moaning about the possibility of signing both as long as we get a DM. I have a feeling Vitinha is a plan B option for FdJ. Both play very similar roles.
The young FC from Darby. A bit of a fight for him, apparently.
From this article:
For those wondering why Xavi isn't keen on Frenkie to take over Busquets:
Basically, we can't low-ball Barcelona any more. If we have to buy him, we'll have to get close to what Barcelona want. The only thing that can help us now is if we wait until next summer and see what happens to Frenkie's place in the team next season.

He has 2 goals and 3 assists last season, I doubt he’s in for his defensive output!
He's the player that assists the player that assists the scorer if you understand me. He certainly isn't a DM as he progresses the ball up the field often.
Only FdJ helps build and retain possession amongst those options. I've not really watched Garner well so don't know what kind of midfielder he is, but if he is a similar profile to FdJ/Vitinha then both might not be needed.
Think that's what Barca would want us to believe but I believe they would very much like to get rid of FdJ's wages regardless of whether they sign Silva or not, that's our leverage I think.
After Pedro Sepulveda Tweeted that PSG are meeting to decide on whether to pay for Vitinha's release clause:

I don’t think Ten Hag even plays with a dm since he pushes everyone up to press high. That just may be enough if he can get the team actually pressing the opposition
Yeah, we can basically use the fact that Frenkie isn't really valued by Barcelona to potentially pay less for him. We still need to up our offer to seal the deal, but we should be able to secure him for basically what Barcelona paid for him (as long as the talks don't break down).
He played Edson Alvarez, a converted CB as an effective DM.
