Do you understand what an aggregator is?

Goodness me.
Would you rather us NOT be linked with anyone at all then?
What constitutes as “ground breaking”
feck me, is no one ever happy? What do people actually want?!
Short answer, no...
Been down this road so many times with the UtdDistrict account which correlates every story out there
Watching Mbueno and Wissa up front reminds me of the chimistry between Yorke and Cole.
Would love either or both them here and they would instantly improve us.

I like him as a player and agree with others that he looks ready to take the next step. Isn't he more of a pure winger though rather than a number 10 in our system? When I see him play, he's usually getting in behind on the outside or beating players closer to the touchline. I'm not that convinced he's a natural fit for us.
Great player, but think he'd play the same position as Amad, Kulusevski and Saka.
Would be a great Salah replacement for Liverpool.

Nightmare scenario is him going there to replace Salah
No I think he regularly plays up front for Brentford as well as on the right.
I'm not saying you are wrong, and you may well have seen more of him than me. However, what I will say is that playing upfront is still different from playing as a 10. Is he capable of playing in those half-spaces? Those are the players we lack above all else. Amorin's system requires midfielders who can dribble into the box to create scoring opportunities. His Sporting side had some of the highest numbers in the top 5 leagues for take ons into the box and actually very few direct passes between the lines. From what I've seen of Mbueno he can dribble and beat people, but I don't instantly think of him as a player who can manage that in tight areas, similar to Garnacho. Would be interested to hear if people who have seen I'm more think I'm wrong.
Would be a shame, but those are bloody big shoes to fill for anyone!
Oh I’m onboard for this. He’s a very good player on the verge of blowing up in the right team. He’s similar in skillset to Salah like some have stated and he comes with the added benefit of being able to play as a 9. He will be a great addition IMO if we can’t get Cunha.
Thought I was the only one. He could give Ugarte a few pointers on some arm bars.
FPL star.
But looked ordinary when we played against him at OT.

We have Fernandes in the other No10 role currently. We need a runner.
Yes, so they depend on their quality of their sources, they post everything.
But, aggregators don’t have sources.
They aggregate the news, post it in a sizeable chunk for us to read & better yet, Centredevils give a reliability notice at the start of their tweets.
It’s up to you, as a reader to decipher if you want to rely on it or not
What depends on the quality of the sources?
Aggregators don't comment on the validity of the information.
My point is that it's clickbait!
When a journalist says that there's three clubs looking at one player it means it's pure speculation.
Yes which therefore makes them valueless.
Looks about 60
Yes so they don't care where they get their info from. I didn't know until today that they give a reliability notice, but we don't know how they decide how reliable their sources are.
Amad is a good runner, ball carrier and he is creative. He's got a lot more nuance to his game than Mbuemo, who like Zaha at Palace gets a lot of space to run into, he's not going to get that at Utd in a lot of games.
I don't see what Mbuemo would bring to the that Amad doesn't already, he's a good player, just not good enough for a top team. If you're looking for players to get you back to the top, he ain't it.
Why is it illegal to have more than one good player per position? Especially considering Mbuemo is versatile and we have essentially one quality attacker at the moment.
Exactly, our fans always keep saying but we have this and we have that but a club like ours should have more and shouldn't drop several levels down if a particular player isn't available. We need a competitive squad that allows the next man up to come in and maintain the status quo. Mbuemos running power would be great in this system, great left foot and can play upfront from time to time. Would be the sort of signing SAF would make, a Dwight Yorke or Teddy Sheringham type signing.
You could just have common sense and see where they're getting their source info from and judge if it is reliable or not.
It's not.
I just look it from the point of view that he's playing for Brentford, who are doing well, but a lot of their game is around long balls and hitting teams on the break with pace. He gets a lot of space to run into, that suits his game.
He won't get that at Utd.
I mean we say that but we've seen countless opportunities on the break so far this season that get cocked up by piss poor forward play.
I also think he's quite technical and good enough in tight spaces that he'd be fine, it's not like he's just kicking and running. Good passer and vision, lovely finisher, great PnP. Feels like he's just a clone of the Mane/Southampton transfer and people underrate him because he's bald.
I don't think he's good enough and it's totally different to Mane because you could see the quality he had, same with VVD at Southampton, you could see they had the ability to step up. Even Jota you could see, he had something else about him.
I think Mbuemo is a very good player. But I genuinely don't think has that extra quality you need to step up to a top team. Somebody may give Brentford 60m for him and they'll go and pick up a ready made replacement for less than half of that.
Can see something about him?
He’s right up there with top goal scorers this season. What more do you want?
Would be a hell of a steal and replacement for Rashford. Can't sew it happening before the summer

I’d agree Amad has more nuance, but Mbeumo has more physicality and verticality to his game which do we have in the attack?
I also think he’s a better dribbler than you give credit, could operate as a right 10 or RWB if needed and can finish.

We also are one of the worst teams going forward for goals. I don’t see how adding a proven goal scorer, at a good age, with good physicality isn’t a good purchase (assuming it doesn’t cost heaven and earth to do).
Good player as is wissa. I don't watch him enough but clear he's a physical unit and has an eye for goal.
shows what fans know. it wasn’t that long ago that we sold him because all he did was slide tackle.
He's more direct, but so is Garnacho. What Mbuemo has over him is physicality, which is obviously helped by his being 4 or 5 years older.
I wouldn't sell Garnacho to replace him with Mbuemo.
He's not a proven goalscorer either, he's a 10 goal a season player for a midtable team.
I don't think that makes him good enough.
What I mean is, you could see they had more to go, that they could take that step up and get better. I don't see that with Mbuemo, I think this is a good as he's going to get and that it's not good enough.
Bowen is probably a better player. Would you spend 60m on him? He's not going to get any better either.
Can almost guarantee Brentford will sell him and sign someone like Bakwa from Strasboourg and you'd have people on here saying Utd should have went for the other guy instead.
I like him. Looks like a very wellrounded attacker that can both hold the ball up, play really good passes into the box, and also finish really well. Could play striker role for us. Hope we have the cash for it.
Not just that. He usually does it on his own, carries the team and can do it against big teams too.
Usually occupies the Amad-space, that’s my only concern.
You do know he has scored 13 goals so far, about half way into the season? Same as Isak for example.
Bruno is our best goalscorer at 4 goals this season. We could most certainly need a boost in that department.
