21 year old Algerian midfielder playing for Bologna. His agent says Manchester United are after him. Inter and Bayern have also been rumoured to have been interested.

The agent of Bologna midfielder Saphir Taider has revealed talks with Manchester United.
The 21 year-old French-born Algeria international has been linked withInter Milan this summer, but his agent reveals a move to England could be on.
George Atangana told Corriere di Bologna: "The boy isn't happy with what is happening.
"I have spoken with Manchester United. If they offer €18 million, then what should he be paid?
"He will keep sweating for Bologna, but it is clear he deserves more than the €250,000 he was paid last season."



Anyone know anything more?

Anyone watched him properly much? Decent YouTube video.

 

[backofthenet]

He'll renew his contract in the next week or so. Blatant shite from the agent trying to up the money the player gets.

 

[Raees]

Like 2 different players.

 

[Sir Matt]

This is more like it. A young player no one has ever heard of is the perfect thing to assuage the hurt of losing out on good players.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

Midfielder?

*silence ensues*

SIGN HIM UP MOYESY!!

 

[Adam-Utd]

His name rhymes with Spider. Whether he is good or not, IM IN!

Decent argument.

No idea about this player, but he did make an average of 3.6 tackles a game last season. With all the posts about needing more DMs in the squad and cover for Carrick, I guess he's worth sniffing around. But lets be honest his agent is probably one of the tens who mention us each summer to get a better deal as mentioned

 

[Brightonian]

From those three videos, he looks passable but not better than Cleverley.

 

[Drifter]

Well everyone raved on about Moyes ability to find good players on a budget. If this is true it could turn out to be another one.

 

[Cheesy]

Whatever happens it'll feel like we're just signing him because we missed out on Tomlinson. Can't get excited about it at all.

He does have 50 matches in serie A and 4 caps for Algerie + a bunch of matches for various French U-18, 19 and 20's squads...so he isn't exactly completely unknown

I love this place.

Scumbag agent using our name like that

Maybe, probably, but what if...a CM

Jizz fest of note on the Caf if we EVER sign a CM

 

[Lynk]

We haven't signed a first team central midfielder since 2007.

We haven't signed a first team central midfielder since 2007.

It's quite pathetic really, our astonishing weakness in that area is no fault but our own.

 

[Lynk]

6 fecking years. How the hell is that even possible?

 

[KanieKaned]

Apparently there was no value
