At least we skipped the "preparing to communicate a desire to make an offer" stage.

I think Larsson and Ederson hve different qualities. Even if they share their optimal positions being B2B, I think Larsson is way better at build up and eventually more complete than Ederson. Also much younger, but still ready for the next step. I feel as if we'd lose another opportunity to get a great talent if we don't go for him.He is. I mentioned that I'd partner Ederson with a deep-lying playmaker but I doubt we'll get two midfielders.
For too long, we’ve lacked a midfielder who can dictate play from deep - something most top European sides have. Instead, our midfield has been filled with ball winners and runners, leaving us without that crucial composure in possession. That’s why, for me, a deep-lying playmaker should be the absolute priority.

I really hate it, I want us to sign players that can dictate play and pass with volume, accuracy and some creativity. Why do we never seem to buy great ball playing midfielders?
It's a strange one for sure.
Signings might not work put bit we have tried all sorts of players.
Except CM's who can receive and pass the ball well.
It's no more evident than in the youth CM's who do and don't get given a chance.

Ederson seems like a versatile and wellrounded cm to me. He is good in defence and is a strong ballwiinner, and has decent vision and passing and overall good control of the ball. The type of player we need in midfield imo. As few big flaws as possible.

Probably it's just a weird way to report about a step that's formally required in every transfer talk“Communicated desire to make an offer”
That’s a new one
(you're supposed to ask permission to the club before talking to a player that's under contract with them)

It’s not just who we buy but who we promote from youth. McTominay and Collyer both had/have more chances than the less physical but better footballers in Gomes and Garner. My two favourites to watch in the under 18s are Thwaites and Ibragimov but I fear they will have careers away from United whereas if they were from Barcelona they might already have first team action

I didn't even think about that but you're both right, I really hope we address this and bring in a couple of technical midfielders as I really miss seeing the passes the Scholes and Carrick could pull off, the way they could dictate proceedings and the way they (especially Scholesy) could take the sting out of a game when needed.
I think Larsson can do a bit of both. Right now I think he’s more of a box to box midfielder but I can see him developing into a fine dlp. There were signs of those qualities during his second season with us, when he was 17 years old.I've heard hes good but is he not more of a box to box midfielder?
Apparently Stiller is meant to be really good but he's not very dynamic from what I've heard.
I think he’ll be quite expensive though.

Apparently available for something like €60m. I'd rather spend money on him than €50m on Quenda. Maybe we can also try selling Hojlund to them. He'd suit them.I think Larsson can do a bit of both.

Sounds like a good trade! Decent price either way. I would really like to see him at united. Malmös biggest talent since Zlatan, in my opinion.Apparently available for something like €60m.
