Isco to Berlin was done deal but is off last minute. Are we gazumping?
You’re being a baby. We’re reacting to a shit situation and doing it well. Much rather this than do nothing.

Apparently failed his medical
You're mainly basing that off his hairstyle aren't you?
Seems like a sensible signing all told, don't know what everyone's got their knickers in a twist for.
Especially as a loan...

I actually wanted him before he went to Bayern. He's class, this guy
Must be an absolute dream to be as dense and oblivious as Paul Merson is and actually get paid money for it.
if they aren't gone already
What?
In fairness it is a panic buy (loan) but so are many other transfers in this window
He'd be the second best midfielder in the PL after Casemiro.
I really dont like the dribbling dipshitYikes
Pity no opportunity to buy if true
OMG, that is -- sick -- news.
BTW -- what are the odds of ETH just putting that cast on Eriksen to fool the board? Would bet on that Eriksen is healthy on Saturday!
Paul Merson really is master of the obvious. Of course it’s a panic buy - why wouldn’t it be when you just found out today your midfielder is injured for 4 months?
Getting Sabitzer in would be a master stroke. I was a big fan of him at Leipzig. He’s more industrious than flair but we’ve seen Casemiro can be that creative spark.

This Sabitzer link really looks like a good one. The potential is there to do very well, and we really need more quality legs to help the team,especially now that eriksen is injured.
Most people retain their legs after 30. I still have both of mine intact. Keeping tabs of my glasses and my phone is more difficult with age.
Same here. Runs a lot, knows the pressing game well and can score great goals. Able to play multiple positions too.
It would be a very smart choice short or long term.
We should have spent more in the summer. £200m was a pittance. Burn the club down for being so pathetic.
Diallo got 3
He is more the typical RB Leipzig player - a lot vertical etc. - for another team probably a great player as he has a very good workrate - at Bayern without a defensive 6 it is somewhat more difficult especially as a next man to multi purpose man Kimmich.
Yes but we only want him for 5 months. By then only one of legs will be gone.
Maybe, but if that is a scenario hopefully it is one a long way off!
If your roof starts leaking, you fix it. Panic or not. Hell, you might even get a sturdier roof.
Seems like a very rational thing to do to be honest, given Eriksen's injury.
Should allow Bruno to play further up again. We've sacrificed some of Brunos output to make up for Eriksens lack of legs. Sabitzer can easily hold his own in midfield.
Lots of green lines is good right?
Guilty.
Yes, but his legs are very short.
-We just lost a starting midefielder on the weekend
-The injury was probably diagnosed 48 hours before the end of the transfer window
-We have no money to spend
If we can get this one over the line, I’d say it would be to Arnold and Murtough’s credit. You have to be reactionary when one of your starters becomes unavailable for basically the rest of the season.
In terms of the player himself, I’d describe him as a bit of a Fred/McTominay hybrid. High energy presser, but more physical than Fred and positionally better than McTominay. Great long shooter and finisher, decent at progressing the ball either with a pass or dribble. Given the constraints above, I don’t think there’s a better player available to us.

We lost two games then we went out and bought. We shouldn't have to be in this position. We should have decent backup.
Anyway, I guess I'm the only one feeling this way
I don't like his pencil moustache.
And yet, 'He's a big fan of Jorginho' who's been shite for ages. He could at least try and not be a fanboy on TV!
While we shit on our backroom, I’m sure they have a live shortlist of players who are available at a moments notice, and Sabitzer’s name was top of the shortlist for ‘if Eriksen is out long-term’.
And now we’re exercising that system. Would that make it a panic buy? Maybe more like a contingency plan.

debut tomorrow will be perfect game to settle him in too.
Agreed, he is very capable. Like I said above -- out of a group of Sabitzer, Betancour, Hojbjerg and Bissouma -- if ETH could have one, who would he pick? Honestly, I think I would put my money on Sabitzer. To be able to add a player like this just before the deadline, when we are in desperate need for a player in that position, is nothing short of really really good news.
