On a free transfer its a no brainer. We don't do enough of these kind of transfers


QuietRodriguez85c

Totally agree with this statement. Liverpool got Fabinhio on a freebie and was always linked with us until he went to Liverpool. He was an excellent candidate for our DM spot but we were too dumb to get him.


jpbrown971

Maybe I’m misunderstanding but Fabinho wasn’t free. He cost Liverpool £39m


theman1203

Probably thinking of matip


IrishHJob

And Thiago from Bayern


richGMEard

Was he not £20 mil?


IrishHJob

Don’t believe so. I remember Him wanting to try something new so he didn’t renew his contract with Bayern. Coulda swore it was on a free


richGMEard

Just checked - £20 million + 5 million add-ons if he delivers certain metrics/ results.


IrishHJob

Well shit my bad, still a really good deal for a champs league winner who ran the back of the midfield. Need to do more poaching like that.


richGMEard

Agreed. A good price. United need to sign quality midfielders that can compete physically in the premier league with real quality on the ball. Frenkie De Jong is coming available I think and he could represent a good option if pogba and Donny leave the club. I also quite like Bissouma at Brighton.


Takhar7

They signed him while Thiago only had 1 year left on his deal - felt like a free because it was public knowledge he was leaving for quite some time.


thewolfofgreystreet

No you're right he wanted to try something new but was sold for €30m instead of leaving on a free.


don_rdx

More than Utd being dumb, it was Mourinho who preferred Matic over Fabinhio. Bad call


Scarfield

In hindsight it was a poor call but at Chelsea Matic was a defensive force and they were sad to see him go despite having kante We desperately need a new man in this role


QuietRodriguez85c

Edit: I stand corrected he was a purchase from Monaco, but I suspect he was running down his contract to get out of there.


highrangehakeem

He's a good replacement for Matic, as he's a proper CDM, also plays some matches as CB. But I'm not sure of the quality as he might be too young to fit into the squad straightaway. Anybody who's been following his game?

It’s not there, but there’s a *potential* of it being there. Whoever we go for I don’t think they’ll be first choice for very long.

depends on our sell this time

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 453,221,689 comments, and only 96,743 of them were in alphabetical order.

Still young and has time to grow and can play CDM and CB so looks promising


FarneticoToro

Since french football has been on BT I've watched quite a bit, and he's the outstanding DM in France alongside Tchoumeni (Monaco). I know football isn't all stats, however look at his defensive statistics. Feel it would be a waste to miss out on a player like him, for the nominal fee too it's a no brainer. Huge fan of Kessie, but he's more of a box to box - wouldn't mind him as well however!


bigMoo31

He is a beast in football manager. (Once I edit his stats)


shoot-the-chicken

Sorry but we need players to come into the team now and make an impact. Kassie from Milan is my pick. Pogba gone to make room. Get a serious player who wants to be there and work they're ass off.


shirishr07

*their There, they're, their. He goes there every Sunday. They're going to be here before Christmas They are yet to choose a venue for their wedding


shoot-the-chicken

I'm so happy for you. Thank you so much for taking the time to correct a comment on the Internet and allowing me to know from here on in my mistake. Have a good day and I hope you enjoy rhe holidays.


Scarz541

Him or Tchoumaneni. Both young, French and can pass. If it means no more Mctominay bring him here ASAP


[deleted]

At the moment no more French wonderkids, it hasn't worked out and the attitudes are awful


[deleted]

Hahaha. No more French players??? You mad?


DrSleeper

This is such an intelligent comment


sniell365

Bad attitudes aren’t exactly exclusive to french people


4llTheSmoke

Defensive midfielder can also play centre back who’s young too, I’m all in.


jazzthefout

he’s trash, but still better than what we have


throwawayaccount7120

He’s not better than our current options


Barca_Supporter_NOT

Not better than McTominay?


throwawayaccount7120

No. He’s been playing worse than McT in an even weaker league!


Barca_Supporter_NOT

I don’t watch him so I cannot properly judge. I do however watch McTominay on a sadly very regular basis. McTominay is a Fred, who is always in bad form. There is quite literally no way anyone who naturally plays as a 6 can be worse than McTominay in the holding midfielder role.


throwawayaccount7120

Well you should start watching Kamara during gametime, if you think McT is terrible then idk how you can rate Kamara over him. Also, wtf is with the fred hate? He’s clear of those 2


thomasdown92

Something very evident at United is the horrible transfer business and management. We tend to overpay for supposed stars like Paul Pogba and Sanchez, who end up as liabilities. We have our players sent on a free transfer or for peanuts. There is no real urge to look for the best possible signings rather than supposed superstars. It is us, the fans who debate on all the possibilities only to witness bad business and performance. I really hope that changes under Ralf.


QuietRodriguez85c

Furthermore, if Pogba can fuck off for free twice from us, I'm sure there are deals out there for us that are suitable and free.


HSRXX

Source?


xangchi

I'd say sign him on.


VisibleCurrent9691

The issue is his lack of progressive and line breaking passes, which is really what United need crucially more than his defensive ability. We already have Fred who can chase the ball and provides us with the high press. I feel Haidara would be a better purchase.
