He's a decent midfielder with solid all-round ability and plenty of experience playing pressing football, which is much more than any of us have any right to hope for on deadline day on loan. Good signing, if we can pull it off in time.
Marcel Sabitzer | Signs for United

Been massively invested in this transfer and have desperately wanted Sabitzer to join us ever since I found out about it 7 minutes ago.
This is a very shrewd piece of business!
Chelsea are focusing on other deals so that just leaves us. What time does this have to be completed by?
I'd be more assured if Ray Romano made the statement than Fab.
German media saying the same thing though. Its just Sky keeping Chelsea in for the clickbaitOf all people why anyone asks him on the subject, on any subject is beyond me.
an ok player but can’t take him seriously with that pre teen physique
He was mainly Goretzka's backup (who is injured a lot) but Musiala's emergence as nondroppable has limited his game time options further (as Sabitzer can also play a more attacking role), and Gravenberch is pushing for more time too. He had just a backup role so far and with Laimer coming he will be surplus to requirement completely.
Has Souness called him a "steady Eddie" yet?, if so, that's good enough for me.
So every game for the next week
Takes me back to when I was a kid, the day before we signed Sheringham I spent ages convincing my bet mate he would be the ideal Cantona replacement, spent the next two months convinced I was the next fergieThis one aged well and quickly
WTF is it with our reactionary transfer dealings?? Are we run by 4-year-olds??
I thought so too, but the oracle that is Paul Merson, has made me reevaluate my opinion.
Boehly wants to complete a loan XI before the close of the window though, he's running out of 100m 7 year deals now
No shit. Our first choice MF is out til at least April and we don't trust the backups. Sometimes panic is warranted. In saying that he'd be a decent addition.
German transfer window shuts at 5:00pm UK time today (2.5 hours from now).
You’re whinging at a quality late replacement to a key player?
We found out Eriksen was out for the season literally today
He could definitely play in Eriksen's position. I would say that he definitely is ahead of Fred and McT and that he is on par with Eriksen -- much better all round and defensively, but not as good playmaker.
Your options in CM are ridiculous.
Would like this one to get sorted till I come home from work, thank you.
He was one of the best players in Leipzig before he moved to Bayern, and that's all I remember. Hope they can make it happen as we desperately need a midfielder now.
In every fecking transfer I see Chelsea name too, can Chelsea feck off with being involved in every footballer on the planet ffs.
Eriksen is out for 3 months so this would be a very welcome addition.
Isn’t that earlier than normal. Did it use to be 11pm?
For a 4 year this is a great deal.
I'm in two minds - in our current situation he would be welcomed, but then isn't this how we end up with a squad of average players - i.e. are we signing future deadwood? That said I think I'd still go for it due to the Eriksen injury. I wouldn't be looking at a long term deal of course.
11pm, German 5pm deadline only applies to incoming transfers.
Well, Sabitzer is infinitely better than McT
Yeah.
"Oxford United are in for Whitby Town FC's Adam Garner and are thought to be preparing a bid, however, they face competition from Chelsea."
Such a stupid approach trying to sign a midfielder on the day it's announced one of the 3 first choice options is possibly out until May.
Bloody juvenile delinquents.
Played on the wing for Salzburg and RBL, was transformed into a CM/OM. So he is some sort of Swiss (Austrian) army knife, who should cover LW/RW/CM/OM and if needed, CDM. Would be a good/ cheap signing.
I guess he's of better stamina than Eriksen too?
Eriksen was injured last week. WTF do you expect any club to do at this stage? We don't have the money and we're exploring loan deals and that's all we can ask for at this stage.
We're discussing a loan deal always. We're broke atm
