Anyone actually watched this guy enough? Looks absolutely crap in that Man City game highlights video.

He just had a bad game and nothing was really coming off. You can see he had the correct intentions though. Watch a compliation video, much better representation than one game.
 
Very happy with this. Looks like a quality play. Has a lot of grit like Herrera, but will offer more in the build-up phase, which we need.
 
What genius poster was it that said he demanded a video of Fred the Red mascot running around before taking off his mask and revealing himself as Fred all along.

Fecking genius. Just need a JR "Bah Gawd" moment to go with it.
 
When are the British journos going to start reporting this? I give it 20 minutes.

By changing euro sign to pounds and then convert it to euro again saying we signed him for 60 million.

That would be hilarious
 
Hopefully he turns out to be a very good signing and adds dynamism to our midfield with Matic and Pogba. I'm mostly neutral to this as I don't know much about him but optimistic as usual.
 
Don’t know anything about him but can’t be any worse than what we have so I’m happy.

This. I know our signings haven’t set the world alight but José has been signing a better standard of player for us. If he had the same impact as a Matic I’ll be very happy as it’ll be another step in the right direction. Cool to have a Brazilian in the squad again too. Shakhtar seem to be able to spot and develop Brazilians really well considering the standard of the league and cultural differences.
 
Next season we'l have the Keita vs Fred comparisons :p

Don't know anything about how Fred is, is he a Carrick type player? United needs one like that.
 
Not sure.

Players like Antonio De Natale come to mind though. He only started top flight football at 25 in Seria A. Ian Wright also comes to mind. If I recall well, he joined the premier league at 26. And of course there are players like Diego Milito, Jamie Vardy and co. It can be argued that they improved late or at least their real talents came out late.

Drogba too.

He has similarities in terms of passing, prefers to pass it first time into the attackers feet.
 
Daily mail inflating transfer cost as usual, claiming £52.5 M.

The comments on the article are vitriolic towards us.

Always converting dollars to pounds and keeping the dollar number but the pound sign. It's beyond dull right now.

Those comments are pathetic. They are really trying to twist it that City are shrewd and won't resort to paying large fee's and we get taken to the cleaners. Alderweireld will likely cost about 50m but obviously with signing on fee's and wages they are just going to quote it all in a lump sum.

It's amazing we aren't broke by now.
 
Let Jose gets what He wants, He's weird. Certain type of players do well under him even if They aren't "world class" for the rest of us.

From my extremely limited understanding of Fred he is closer to a box to box midfielder rather than a Carrick DM metronome.
 
Sun headline: Fred loves bread! As greedy Brazilian rejects City's £2 per hour wage.
 
He reminds me of Rooney, but anyway, I thought you wanted Ndombele, or was that just bucky?

It has to be @bucky, his love for frenchies is sickening.:D

I don't know what Mourinho has in mind, so whoever he brings is fine for me even if I don't rate or know the player.

Compilation videos would be from Ukrainian league, and it's hard to judge a player with those. Well, if he turns out to be a good player for us, I'd be pleasantly surprised.
 
@Devil may care you are seriously the most miserable person on this forum :lol: The manager is shite, all the players we are linked with are shite, anything related to United is shite. Do you even like the club?

Nothing wrong with you Frenchies, it's when we start looking at the Ingerlanders that I worry. :D
 
Haven't watched him before but watching his youtube performances he looks pretty decent on the ball. Just his style of play looks better than both Savic and Talisca for us imo, Savic because he plays a bit too much like Pogba does.

Not sure how he'll adapt to the PL but other Shakhtar players have done pretty well so hopefully he slots in well.

Hopefully this also means we're not chasing anymore CM's. We really need a RW, and two full backs asap.
 
A little muppet IX from our most prominent links and targets.

Last season they said they would stop watching if we signed Lukaku. A person without his word is a person not worth listening to.

I hope we go for one more CM, even a young one would do

Everyone looks good in those though. Watch pogba’s from this season and you’d think he was on par with Kaka. While in reality he had an average season.
