Here we fecking go again. I refuse to be drawn in. According to the media we've signed the Bundesliga + the Dutch squad + Pogba + Vidal + Uncle Tom and Jerry. I'll only believe if I see him holding the shirt or signing the contract.
ffs
You laugh at De Jong yet not Blind when NDJ is a comfortably better DM?
We might as well make it a Spanish affair - sign Koke to pair with Herrera with Mata in front of them. Defence be damned!
Surely Martinez...
I would not write totally write carrick off, the likes of cleverly and fletcher I would put huge question marks over, and with fellaini's effective world cup, I can see LVG wanting to use him in some shape and fashion. LVG loves to be a game changer with his bench, so I could see him using fellaini and hernandez has super subs
Con mucho gusto.
The reported wages are very low at 50k a week... Surely makes up for the high fee
Don't know much about him tbh, is he a CM and can he play as some kind of DMF? Which are his best qualities? Will he improve us?
Stupid question any decent player could improve our midfield.

I'm happy we are finally sorting out the midfield problem. I'm glad people are getting exciting but I wonder how many watch him regularly?
Bebe looked good on you tube
I'm just on the fence about him. He's never played in the premier league and I don't remember him being in the Champions league, it's a lot of money. You would have to have the blinkers on to not rate Barkley, he's one of the top talents in Europe right now. Ross Barkley is very much an all round midfielder. Herrera is obviously a player with huge potential and can get better. I just find it funny how many seem to be an expert from you tube. He looked good when we played them in the Europa league, I hope he's a success.Yeah but Blind can also play left back and isn't an ex-city player known for being a thug and not much more.
From what I've seen, he does seem a bit reminiscent of Ramsey by the way he carries the ball and looks for the quick exchange. Like you said, his goal-return is obviously nowhere near the level of Ramsey, but hopefully that's an area he can dramatically approve upon here.
This is BBC and Sky reporting it not bloody goal.com or newspapers. It's happening.
So assuming Herrera comes, whose place is he taking? Fletcher/Cleverley/Fellaini's or Carrick's?
Surely our midfield is a free for all now...

No probably about it. He's a midfielder who can actually pass and run.
That's perfectly fine, it's not a crime to not be drawn in even with all of the evidence to suggest otherwise. Each to our own and all that.
Yes.
He's not a good left back though. De Jong's hardly known for being a thug either considering he's had 1 red card in his career and it was 7 years ago.

I watch him regularly. I think he's more than good enough. Barkley may have more drive and power in the advanced midfield position than Herrera but he does not have Herrera's decision making or positional sense in the number 8 role.
Yeah, it was a play on your name. I thought it was an obvious joke.
We just need players who can play in CM
It was obvious, which is why I feigned ignorance to make it interesting.
All things constant, he'll probably be best partnered with a DM, so he can easily fit (best) next to Carrick/Jones/Fletcher/Fellaini.
He'll surpass Cleverley/Anderson (if we still count him)/Fletcher. So it's their spots in danger.
Either way, still hope we sell Marouane.
Window isn't open till July is it?
No, but it's still better. Anything is better than the last summer window, even a closed one.
I'm not writing him off completely, but he's getting to an age now where he can't/shouldn't be playing every game and we're going to have to replace him at some point. No reason why he, Herrera and another can't be involved in the same squad and there be plenty of game for all three.
I was comparing Barclay and Herrera in both roles.
I think he will be our only midfield signing this transfer window, Strootman in January transfer window.
He will be a starter beside Carrick, used as box to box player. In winter we will sign Strootman who will replace MC in starting eleven.
Roll on January!
It does look like whoever has been leaking stuff has been 'put right' because this came a little out of the blue. All the talk has been about unrealistic targets like Pogba, Vidal, Kroos etc. and I must admit I was getting worried we were going to make a hash of this summer as well, midfield wise atleast.
I was desperate for us to sign Ander for the last few seasons. I think he's a cracking young player who maybe over the last year or so has stagnated a little in his development. I think he needed a big move last summer to take him on as a player and I think the deal falling through with us did affect his form atleast early on in the season.
However, if LVG wants him then I think there is no question we should get him. LVG is forthright in his decision making and I can't see him sanctioning the move without have a plan on how Ander will fit in.
Just out of curiosity @jojojo didn't he mostly play as a no.10 last season?

Maybe, but I'd honestly prefer if we wrapped it all up this window.
Can barclay even play in the deepline role that LVG wants from his CM players, seeing barkley he just looks like another advanced midfielder, now a top class wide player is something we could do with
What's so funny? I clearly said as a atop stop gap to Stroitman in Jan. Both are better DM's than what we have.ffs

I just think we need a big signing to lift the club after last season. You are right though, he doesn't need to be a house hold(marquee) signing to be a good player. After we lost the league to City on goal difference, the RVP signing lifted the club and the players that's all. If we buy another good central midfielder I will be a lot happier. I just don't want Carrick or Cleverley lining up with him, presuming we buy him that is.
