Would love it if we signed him.
I know the last Canadian at United didn't work out so well but I got a good feeling about this one.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
Hmmmm. I like him but dunno how he fits in. Also don't think he's ready.
That's what they said about Young.
Decent prospect but I don't see the point in this signing to be honest.
You weren't allowed to have 'Rape' as your user name?
Bayern are rumored to want him
He's signed for Borussia Monchengladback for £900k, apparently.
Surprised a bigger team didn't go for him.

This true?? £900k? To Monchengladback? I'm astounded at that. Seemed to have serious potential to me. Thought there was plenty of interest in the Prem.
Did they have to pay money because of his age then?
Because he's gone abroad I'm pretty sure Blackburn are no longer due compensation? I know that's what happened when Matthews and Ledley went from Cardiff to the SPL.
Actually thought we were going to be in for him. Really surprised he's left the Prem, Spurs or Liverpool could have done with him.
Maybe he just prefers living in Germany? I know he spent 2 years there on loan.
Yeah maybe, but I haven't even heard of any contract offers for him etc.
Gladbach have CL football (if they get past the qualifier), Liverpool and Spuds don't I guess.
I suppose it might have come a bit late for Rodgers to have a go for him but you'd think that if they were selling Kuyt that they could replace him with Hoilet and arguably improve the team and decrease the wage bill.
The ignorance bubble on Twitter over this move is absurd.
51k attendances, CL football, multiple German Champions and former European Cup finalists. Yet people are saying he lacks ambition for going there over some mid-table Premier League team.
Idiots.

There is your answer.
But Twitter is actually fairly representative of the populace. That is the scary thing.
Yep, you find it everywhere though, i find redcafe as one of the few places where sense prevails about 90% of the time. Actually a wise career choice (or so it seems) by a player for once, CL football (if they get through the qualifiers) and there should be a spot for him in the first xi because they just sold Reus didn't they?
Mönchengladbach are in Champions League next season albeit in qualifiers which means they will likely have to beat a strong side to go through. They sold Reus but bought Xhaka and are looking at various other players so they might not be such a bad choice.
Not sure he's going to get games ahead of Arango or Hermann and Xhaka's looked a very decent player, won't be a great move if he can't get in the team.
I actually hate people.
Welcome to the party Sewelly, want a beer?
Good signing at that price. I'd have been happy with him at United considering the fee that would have been involved, he looks a tidy player and I reckon he'd have added something to our team.
Perhaps they see him as a direct replacement for Reus. A place alongside/behind Hanke/De Camargo is certainly there for the taking.
Heard 'gladback were immense last season in terms of their play.
catch a grip.
Why's that? I'm hardly giving it the "oh no's, gutted we didn't sign him". He's a good player, I've rated him for a while and he'd have been a good option at United. He'd have been an improvement on Park for a start.
Problem?
That's a good move for him. From Blackburn to Borussia Monchenglack. He must be lazing back in a hot bath somewhere laughing his ass off right now.
So what happened the Gladbach deal? Was it just a case of twitter jumping the gun?
QPR seems to be the most widely touted destination now.

So much for his move to Monchengladback.
Bit of a sideways move, thought he could of done better.
Cue people saying Liverpool should've went in for him once he has a good run of form before he eventually establishes himself as a midtable player.
I reckon he could do a job for the likes of Everton & Villa, 6-10th placed teams really (Well Villa should be). No doubt QPR probably offered him a hefty wage to sign on.
Thank god he didnt go to Liverpool.
Will be keeping a close eye on QPR even though they gave up against City. Park, Fabio and a Canadian will keep me interested.

I'm fairly sure we would have enquired or something similar, but like you say, QPR seem to be handing out good wages.

Most dribbles per game of any player in the league last season. Great pickup for QPR
Decent team, they still have to shaft Barton.
Think they're more likely to get relegated playing with 3 defenders
Decent move for him. Sparky's a good Premier League manager IMO. They'll be well safe from relegation this season.
