Could it be more exciting to play Tony Elanga in some League Cup matches ?
I'm still not sure how Brooks will respond with prerformances after nasty injury.

He wouldn’t be simple to do that’s the problem. Apparently Leicester were quoted £50m for him.
If United were in for him and he wanted to come the player can make life difficult for a club already relegated and without fans for the foreseeable future. Genuinely think they'd snap your hand off for 35m if he were to request to leave but of course that's just my gut feeling
Quite amusing reading the OP “developments could happen very quickly”. 4 weeks on there hasn’t been a murmur.
I'm certainly happy about that.
Not sure he's ever played RW? Might be wrong but he's usually up front or LW when I've seen him.
"Could"
He’s played both LW and RW. He’s more effective coming off the right on to his left foot but he can play through the middle .
Oh nice. I've never seen him on the right, he's a talent for sure, but he's quite a way off the first team I'd have thought
If James can play for us then so can Brooks
Oh sorry, I was talking about Elanga!
If tomorrow never comes..
Then we have more time to sign sancho. Meanwhile Ed’s off to buy tickets to see David brooks in concert

If Dan James is the standard to meet for future players we’ll end up in League One.
Brooks is far better than James, and Brooks isn’t good enough. What does that tell you...
It’s like heading out to restaurant for a fillet steak,
balking at the high cost, walking out and then settling on a Big Mac on the way home.

Signing Bale would be like leaving the restaurant and eating roadkill on your way home.
Big Mac does the job though and is still tasty
That he... er...isn't good enough
Exactly.
£50M to Leicester means £60M to United.
Brooks is a decent player, but you have just got to be joking at these prices.
Having said that, I could see a final day double panic signing of Brooks and King for whatever Bournemouth want...!!
Bingo!
For Dan James money? Why not...
For Bruno Fernandes money? feck off

The thing with David Brooks...if we are not getting Sancho there is no justification in getting Brooks. 40 mil for Brooks is far more expensive than 120 for Sancho.
There are players of Brooks' quality in places like Portugal, Croatia etc that can be had for 10-15 mil. So no no way should we get Brooks

SANCHO OR BUST
Praying that time slows down and enables us to finally get a resolution with Sancho whilst also praying the window ends in 10 minutes so we don't have time to sign Brooks.
Is he injured? Not even on the bench for Bournemouth today!!
Unwell. He will stay my guess, he even got a new number kit.
Just seen that Twitter ITK account has said we’re after Brooks now 
would have to be a loan with option to buy if so cause we’re skint now surely. Won’t get my hopes up over sketchy rumours though actually, I will

Hope you do buy him mate so he can stay away from United as an option
Didn’t Bournemouth buy him from you originally?Just seen that Twitter ITK account has said we’re after Brooks now
This is where it’s all going to be kicking off soon. 40 million! Steal!
Yes and we included a sell on too
Scraping the barrel
Unused sub today so you’d assume he’s off somewhere. Maybe we could get Brooks and King in a double swoop.
Brooks does not fill a need and the rumor being quoted is about him going to Sheffield not us. Time to take a cold shower lads, we are not signing anyone else.
We truly have become Liverpool in the Roy Hodgson era if this happens
It's better than nothing and we certainly need bodies, bodies that aren't Dan James and Odion Ighalo.
I remember many similar sneering comments when we were heavily linked with Mane.
Brooks is a good player. Hope we pick him up.
Twitter ITK’s don’t exist. Or Reddit.
