Okay, I have to admit that you were right. McFred scared the bejesus out of ETH and Murtough.

Guido Rodriguez | linked with an actual DM shock! Did ETH lie? Is murtough caving in to fan sentiment? Tune in for next installment | Percentile watch

I endorse this. Hurry and cheer me up please.
never heard of him but he's a DM, sure what the hell. this would increase the current amount of DMs from 0 to 1.
A defensive midfielder!? Really? Feck me. I don't believe it.
It is a terrible thing, if you're looking to actually score goals and win games.
The main reason we're so fragile at the back is that we struggle to progress the ball forward from our defensive third. We are so easy to press because our current midfielders can't play through it and present the opposition with opportunities to win the ball back. A limited player like him makes it worse.
If we can reliably move the ball forward without passing it to the opposition, we'll automatically become a much better team defensively.
Christ on a bike.
The Caf have been wailing and banging on about how we have not signed a proper CDM for what feels like the last 20 transfer windows and the minute we are linked to one who also happens to have a pretty decent pedigree people are losing their minds just because they haven't watched Betis play.
I am not about to claim I know a great deal about him but he looked good in the Copa America last year as a regular in the team that won the tournament and Betis were very competitive in La Liga last season also. He has just turned 28 so should be in his prime and 20M is really not that much, surely worth a look and as he fills a role we don't currently have makes us better by default.

This is the market we have to shop in.
ffs this tooAn Argentinian? With no links to Ajax? I’m calling bullshit. Does he have a half Dutch grandfather that we don’t know about? Perhaps his brother had a Holland top as a kid? Any Edam in his fridge? Give me something.
Or he could drop in and give Maguire and Martinez more freedom to get on the ball and progress it.
Like I said who knows if this is even real it's silly season and the fact that we looked so bad yesterday also
I think if Varane is fit Martinez can screen the back four maybe.
I mean United could spunk big money on Pau Torres and hope Martinez could play CDM
88 replies in 25 minutes, fan base is clearly acting very normally.
Honestly if we just want another body at the back, why not just play 3 at the back?
Just did a 23andme cheek swab on him, he's 0.000000000000001% Dutch
Oh here we go, the meme foundations being laid after the man lost one game. Will be #ErikOut in fecking no time...bunch of plastic feckers.
This is how we react to McFred
Why not just play 3 at the back in that scenario?
That's it confirmed then. FDJ hasn't signed yet because we haven't bought his suggested DM. It's all coming together now
Let the “panic” links be formed by the media now. We’ll be linked with 10 new names by the end of next week I’m sure.
Tbf, they deserve it.
It's obviously the guy he struggled against the most in La Liga, so he wants him on boardThat's it confirmed then. FDJ hasn't signed yet because we haven't bought his suggested DM. It's all coming together now
Argentine fans seem to rate him, apparently bossed it at the last Copa America when they won.
Would be nice getting a proper DM in before the window for a change

This would be good business. We must see the end of McFred.
He played in the Mexican league when he broke into Argentine setup when they were struggling with a geriatric Mascherano and Biglia. And he was terrible.
How our stocks have fallen
How our stocks have fallen
Not the biggest fan of this but sure why not we have ball playing defenders could work
How do his stats rate against someone like Fabinho?
Sometimes it’s better going for the right player rather a brand name. Hasn’t been that successful in the past, Varane, Cavani, Falcao, Di Maria, Schweinsteiger, Schnierdelin etc probably a lot more. Give the guy a chance, could be the part of the jigsaw we need.
Defence needs protection, McFred isn’t up to it and makes the defence look worse than it is. I don’t agree with the Arnautovic signing or the Rabiot one but this guy could be good for us, couldn’t be worse than what we already have.
Is he a footballer?
Because we will have to contact Candreva to play RWB?
Cheer up dude, it’s jokes.
Fair enough I just hate plastic "supporters" who attack the manager first chance they get.
Yeh I think you're shitting the bed a bit here. Understandable given the state of things tbh.
If the past reports is anything to go by, I really doubt we would be going for that kind of player (Specialist without the ball, but poor on it).
Unless of course ETH shot his pants yesterday.

He has been booked more times than xhaka in the last 3 seasons. Should be fun
