Dammit. Forgot about Chong too. Whoops
You're joking right?You might want to explain why. It could be taken the wrong way.
Well played
I think he might like number 34, which was his best friend Nouri's number at Ajax (Nouri is an Ajax player that suffered a heart attack during play and has since been in hospital on life support).
34 in honour of his best mate Nouri.
No.
Bruno had a 35m release clause last summer, please explain why that is utter nonsense?
Before you tell people they lack the ability in something, you should keep an open mind. Scott McT is definitely a box to box midfielfer right now, but I definitely believe he can delevop into a very good DM. His energy, tackling, pressing, communication and defensive qualities are already very good. With more work, he could definitely succeed Matic as Solskjaer our manager said.
Looks good, I must say. Looks versatile too. Will be interesting to see where he's deployed - and to what extent he'll be used in different roles/positions.
Happy to see him join, at any rate.

Weird.
They say he plays the Banjo. They are still looking for one
Sure about that? I seem to recall that his release clause was significantly higher than that - he signed a contract (with said clause implemented) in 2018.
We didn't activate his release clause when we bought him, afaik - that is, we paid less than said clause (but with various add-ons and whatnot). The clause itself was €100m , I think.
I will no doubt be corrected if this is wrong.

Remember when 40 million was a lot. I still think it’s a lot for backup player. Positives are we have lots of games to play so our best players will need rest. More I think about this the better this transfer gets.
not going to be a backup player. We'll have so many games to play without a lot of breathing room, he'll play a ton.
No he didn't. When Spurs were trying to sign him last summer they wanted €65m.
I remember where I was specifically when the £37m for Mata was announced. Our record transfer at the time, felt huge.
He seems to fit the profile of the kind of player Solskjær wants to bring in, equal parts engine and technical ability, also seems to be a big character who won’t wilt under the pressure of playing at Old Trafford. Great to hear all the positive words about how excited he is to join and how convinced he is about the project overall.
How do you mean, the wrong way?
As good as this looks for us FIFA and FM muppets, that midfield would get completely swarmed by the 'bigger' teams or just teams who like to press aggressively. Still needs a ball winner to drop deep in that midfield.
Might work well enough as a diamond but our FBs just aren't good enough going forward.
dont think so , I would be surprised if Pogba VdB and Bruno all played together. Rotation is more likely
Im guessing this is for when we play a weaker opposition?
Pogba isn't a DM there... Think they are implying a midfield 3.Well get Williams out for Shaw for starters. Also, Pogba at DM
I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see this kind of set up against weaker opposition with Matic coming in for stronger teams.
I have absolutely no idea what you’ve just said but it sounds sexy as feck
Is he any good? feck it, he must be.
If it goes through, it is beautifle transfer. Intellegent player that will help us. Lot of qualities in this guy and bright future. 6 good proven central midfielders in the squad. Just what we needed.
So happy about this transfer. Will be an excellent addition.
Not really. Just Education.
yes, someone on the right who can cut in. greenwood is still a teenager and needs a rest, while martial and rashford can cover for each other (with james or pogba or bruno on the left in an emergency), there is no cover on the right.
Played in Ajax's 4-2-3-1 last season either as AM or the left CM.
He's better than the B2B midfielders we have in Fred and McT. Also probably means no more Mata/Lingard/Pereira at the AM position which is more than welcomed. Shrewd transfer by the club.

yes i agree about the right winger, because of the way we play he needs to be left footed. i think attacking LB is less of a priority than RB, since shaw is better than AWB hopeless going forward.
I hope he did this there during trainings
Boom, not to toot my own horn but I did mention this on the 24th. ITK confirmed!
Toot toot
It's utter nonsense because you're literally making it up. He did not have a £35m release clause & you're just pretending he did to bash on the club for paying more than that in Jan.
