Brooks is much better than Sarr.
I'd be all over this, cracking player is Brooks.
I personally think Greenwood needs to play every game as he's on the way to becoming our best attacker, Brooks wouldn't impact him how Sancho would.

Another robbery that will be. AWB and Maguire where daylight robbery, this would be at the top.
OK boomer.
In 2020, £40m will buy you his shortarse Dutch centreback teammate. If nationality is a factor, Brooks being British must be making him cheaper.
all for it, he's a cracking little player. Could be a smart option this summer.
I am not against him provided he is a Grealish alternative rather than a Sancho one which I don't even want to contemplate right now
Hopefully Greenwood will be moved up front next season.
Heard some say 10% others 20%. He’s as versatile as you’d want, could play there and on the right.
I dont think it's Greenwood who has to be worried about his position in the side if Sancho arrives.
Seems a viable Grealish alternative then. Could possibly get him for around the Pereira and Lingard fees plus add-ons. A new CB with the Smalling, Rojo and Jones fees, a young lb with the Dalot fee and then all in with our summer budget for Sancho. Job done
Brooks before his injury was well on his way to getting a move to a top team, if we get him and Sancho this would be a great window, greenwood will still get games he's to good not to
I reckon it'll be more around 25m - 30m. Ake is their best player sold 40m, I think a player who missed almost the whole season last season like Brooks shouldn't be anywhere near 40m.
I liked the look of Brooks before his injury. I haven't seen much of him since but if it's as an alternative to Grealish I imagine he'd be alright. Sancho remains a must though.
None of our front 3 need to worry. There’s plenty of games to be played and precious little depth in our squad.
Source is not reliable at all, but he's a great player.
The money that Dortmund are asking for Sancho is outrageous. Sancho is a very good player but I don't think he's anywhere near worth what Dortmund are asking right now.
I wouldn't say no to Brooks if it meant bringing in another center back also such as Ben White.

Hopefully, but don’t call me Shirley.
I'd rather have to play Brooks if Bruno needs a rest than Pereira.
Yeah really hope that is the case
He needs to play full stop he's fantastic.
People constantly complain about our bench being underwhelming, yet always turn noses up at players that would improve our squad/bench.
Be crazy not to take this guy over players like Lingard and Pereira, especially now Bournemouth is relegated we'd get him at a much cheaper price than we would have before

Would be a very smart move if we can get him on the cheap. His injury is a bit of a concern but he's a good player and would make our squad stronger.
Yes that would be most welcome indeed but is that really the plan though
They have pretty similar stats when you look at both of their PL seasons and it's basically a toss up in opinion over who is more talented, it's close.
I think that Brooks suits you more than Grealish though in terms of style. He's played for a side that wanted to be attacking and with pacy forwards so tended to play a lot of through balls which suits Uniteds front three. Grealish suits a side that's a bit more pragmatic.
Yes please. Very good player
Probably because people are genuinely worried that we have switched our RW attentions from Jadon to him
They paid 11.5 for him and he's on along term contract with a sell on clause, Bournemouth can't really stand in his way so i reckon about 25-30 million.
I remember Brooks standing out head and shoulders above everyone in a cracking Sheffield derby a couple of seasons ago. Would be something if he was to join United he’s a cracking little player.
That is what the SW article is claiming to be fair.
Totally agree. This is the type of move a well-run club would make.
Personally, I'd even take Brooks this window and Sancho for a more reasonable price next summer.
Yeah and I would be all for it as long as he is alternative to Jack and not Jadon of course
This tweet from 14hrs ago from Dominic Booth linked him to us first. He'd be a excellent option to add to the squad.
For the same reason I’d give them Phil Jones.
Was brilliant that day playing up top. A performance (and result) non of us will forget.
You would think so.
I prefer we are patient and get Grealish in January.
Excellent squad option. Would get crucified by our fans as hes not Sancho.
This the player we should have targeted instead of James.
If we don't get sancho this window is at least like us to get a CB and maybe a left back.
People calling him relegation fodder guess who else's was relegation fodder Roy Keane, Robertson. Good players can get relegated with poor teams, I'd argue his injury is the reason Bournemouth got relegated.
Jesus i was just gonna say these exact words but feared a backlash.
Brooks, White and a couple more whilst moving on the shite would help no end, our teams is good already but the bench options are gash.
