Hargreaves finished that season very well when he was played out on the right, but he was actually quite disappointing when we were trying to play him centrally.
Eric Bailly | loan agreed with OM

4d chess by Jose. Sign him for 30 million here and play the waiting game to get him for 10 for his current gig 5 years down the line. He’s a genius. Reckon he’ll go for Matic too. Matic would probably look pretty good for them for a year or two.
70 million worth of his United signings for about 15 for the more financially restricted Roma
Sanchez in on loan?

Shame how its gone for him here. He did look a very good centre back who needed to smooth things out and stay injury free to progress, sadly that has been the same statement every season here and he is slowly going backwards. COuld wite the same for Phil JOnes and there is the worry Tuanzabe goes the same way.
Lindelof is good for the squad in terms of remaining injury free and after an awful first season he has been pretty consitent. For me consistently average which is why we need a new partner for Maguire, who for me is the only first choice starting centre back we have had pretty much since Vidic/Rio retired which is awful really.
Im really not bothered if any of the other centre backs leave even though I do still like Bailly and Tuanzabe. Id quite happily sell all of them bar Maguire and Lindelof and but two new centre backs personally, but thats soemthing to happen over two summers not a priority this....signing one quality centre back obviously is though

He was a Jose signing.
Going to Milan according to Di Marzio
A complete lowball bid from Milan coming up
Not going to be a big loss is it.
Unfortunate as he looked very promising initially, and has a lot of attributes, but through a combination of injuries, lack of game time and inconsistent performances he's never really got going here. You cannot really say he's a better player than what we got from Villarreal.

They want him on loan. Don’t see the point.
It’s on loan. As usual. So I vote no.
Reunited with his mate Zlatan. I’d be amazed if we squeeze anything more than 3m out of those tight buggers too.
Edit: on loan? Of course, how could I be so silly to think they’d want to pay anything.

I’m going to miss the madman. Probably the right move for his career.
Shame injuries and his inconsistent performances made it hard for him to be a starter with us.
Hope we’ll see more videos of Ibrahimovic chasing him down in the dressing room

£3m and a £40m Ballon D'Or clause
I know you are all salty about the loan, but it's because our ownership has Botman or Bremer bookmarked for summer (large investment, per Dimarzio - their owners won't sell either in winter). They're currently looking for cover for Kjaer who is now out for the season. Nothing more.
We're being quite up front about this. We need a 6mos loan.
A good showing and you may get some cash from someone come summer.

I have 2 thoughts on this.
. Why are we so incredibly bad at selling players permanently and not just shitty loans, with NO obligation to buy?
. Will we sign a replacement? If he goes, the only senior centre backs, we will have is Lindelof, Maguire, Jones and Varane
I am absolutely not against his departure, as it’s been way long overdue, but we are at a time, when our squad needs a revamp and letting a player go, without replacing them, makes zero sense.

On loan 
feck off Milan.
feck off Milan.Loans aren’t always bad. Look at the way Liverpool have used them with Harry Wilson, Grujic etc.On loan
Oh I see. Got me excited because Di Marzio talked about evaluation.
So ya, don't see the point.
They had Dalot on loan last year and did the old ‘ah but we don’t wanna give you that’ at the end of it. Loan them no-one.
Again, just because one loan was poor doesn’t make them all bad. If Tuanzebe performs great for Napoli then they want to buy him then great. It’s worth the chance especially if they pay his wages.
Of course not, and if there is an obligation to buy then fine.
But it's AC, always with fecking loans for them.
Victor: back injuries
Varane: injury prone
Maguire: Maguire
… we loan out a CB
Genius
Varane: injury prone
Maguire: Maguire

They won’t even want to pay all his wages either so why bother.
Hopefully he impresses so he can comeback and get injured.
Aren’t they youngsters?
He’s been here for too long
He is not going anywhere. Milan want him on loan and probably want us to pay the salary as well.
Will probably be able to cover the rest of his wages Milan won't pay from physio savings
Why??? So we are left with Varane, Lindelof and Maguire and Jones till the summer. Doesnt make any sense.
Yeah It's ....a bit risky. Unless i'm forgetting someone i guess Matic and McTom could be drafted for an emergency.
Hope it works out for Eric. Was never a massive fan but he seemed a nice lad.
Corrected. Cue Matic in defence for some games, brilliant.
One who's never fit himself
It's not like we're getting rid of the only one capable of not getting injured is it
We are the worst selling club in the history of football.
Doubt we let him leave on loan
Can’t see it happening
all our centre backs Have been injured in the last 3 weeks

One of the few characters at the club that gave his all even if sometimes he would make daft errors.
Wishing him all the best if that deal to Milan is confirmed.

I doubt he’s on massive money at all unless we went crazy with his last deal? Should be a straight sale. I know his stock is low in England but he’s still a great defender when he’s fit. He was probably our best player against Atalanta. Im sure Milan have seen that. Pony up you cheap fecks!
As opposed to Bailly who’s never injured?
Yeah because Eric is really reliable injury wise and would definitely be fit and ready to play if needed.
