Let's just buy him as striker cover.
Never seen this guy play but from what I’m reading on here it seems he’s pretty error prone and isn’t the best when it comes to actually defending. Would be a strange signing when we have Teden Mengi coming through who’s supposed to be highly rated and is a year younger. Would much rather we sign a more proven CB that can go straight into the first team like Upamecano.

I really don't get this - posters saying that we have Menghi and we don't need him. You are comparing a 18y old who has only played 5 minutes of senior football with a 19y old who is now into his 3th season in French top tier. Menghi hasn't even been given a chance to show how he defends. Badiashille has made almost 50 apps for Monaco - he is several levels above Menghi in development.
Im saying it because we need a partner for Maguire those ready to come straight into the first team and improve us right away. What’s the point in signing this guy those only 19 with no guarantee he’ll be better than what we already have. Plus he’s only a year older then Mengi who‘s rated very highly, he’s not really been played yet but he’s on the fringes of the first team and will no doubt see a lot more game time this coming season. If we’re spending money on a CB I’d much rather it was on a more finished product.
Well, hang on, Mengi was at fault against Huddersfield during the week. Is he now a write off? I can remember reading these kind of comments about Ferdinand when he was breaking into the West Ham team. Badiashile is extremely young to be breaking into a top five league senior team, has all the raw materials and is already making an impression in the opposition box.Never seen this guy play but from what I’m reading on here it seems he’s pretty error prone and isn’t the best when it comes to actually defending.

I cannot help but feel that this signing would be a signing for signing sake. The only reason I see us signing him is he is left footed. I cannot see any other reasons.
Why? He is very young, Manchester United have 2 young CB's who are very promising.
Why waste money on a signing for the sake of it?
What a nothing article.
Even if United submit a new offer, L’Equipe states it’s unlikely they will succeed as Badiashile wants to stay at Monaco to continue his development.
Yeah, 5 minutes I'll never get back!I agree here. The title gives some hope for new signing but the end of the article kills the hope.
All i can think is they don't want to just throw Mengi in at the moment and have serious fitness concerns about Tuanzebe & Bailly.
I get it but Mengi is 18 and Badiashile is 19. I would rather get someone a little more experienced than that really.
Yeah so would I but think we are happy to wait until next summer for Upamecano and still expect Koulibaly to join City before the end of window too
The last thing I want us to do is spend money on a CB who is not good enough, I know we have a problem in that area but I would rather wait and get Upamecano. Don't forget, last year we waited a year to get Sancho, and that has not been delivered.
So when we say we will wait a year for said player, I cannot be sure we will get him.
Yeah that is a very good point indeed about this could end up much like the Sancho situation.
There was a Bayern fan on this thread who thinks it will take around €80-€90m to get Dayot now.
Well, he has just signed a new contract with a release clause of I think 60m Euros coming into effect next summer?
That was the previous release clause before it expired,pretty sure that the new one is around €42m
My bad, yeah 42m, now if he is the CB we need, why spend £30m on Badiashile? Totally unproven defender.
But knowing our luck, come next season, we will be drag paying the release clause because we feel it has no value and another team like Bayern, City, Liverpool, Chelsea will just pay the fee and be sorted with a CB very early in the window.
That's why I reckon an offer in the €60m ballpark this window would still give Leipzig something to think about
Yep, but I do not think we would even try.
Monaco are currently playing him and he's doing very well for them. Why would a 19 year old move elsewhere to sit on the bench?I agree here. The title gives some hope for new signing but the end of the article kills the hope.
16 appearances and 2 goals.Slightly random bump, but I was wondering if anyone knew how he had been getting on this season? He'll be 20 in a few months time and has played over 60 games for Monaco. I came across this article, which was the vice-chairman of Monaco saying they were ready to sell Badiashile in the summer but for Kovac insisting he stayed. Very big, fast and left-footed. Could he be the answer to our prayers?

He’s been terrible this season. I checked AS Monaco forum 2 weeks ago to follow his development, the fans think of him as part of problem since he’s still prone errors. But kovac keeps playing him and like him lot.

I’ve watched him before and I must say he’s not that good one on one especially for someone who is supposed to have pace, he can easily be beaten. He’s still young and can improve but he’s not the answer of our current defense.
Are you sure this is (still) the case? Monaco are on a great run of form and Badiashile is racking up serious minutes? Everything I've seen on twitter has been positive about him.
