Thought he would make it at Monaco
He probably asked to be sold, Monaco has too many wide players and he has been loaned twice already. Nice is a great place for him and they need more wide players.
Thank you.
Won't be surprised if Jose uses him like he did Azpilicueta, an inverted full back of sorts.
We must be quite confident that we have a RB coming in then.
Great stuff. I'm not confident in De Boer doing much but I imagine Fosu-Mensah will get some consistent game time.
Hopefully Tuanzebe is next on the list.
Or we are holding Darmien as cover for both WB roles, with blind or Lindelof able to do a job either side if required as a plan C.
Forgot we have Young still too don't we?
There's a new Sheriff in town if this happens.
Bit disappointing if true, was hoping to see him used more.
Bad move, I think. Hope I'm wrong.
Multi-purpose player, interesting.
Me too. Think he's got a great future. Loan does make sense if we do get another RB in to some degree but I'd like to see him covering RB and CDM this year especially starting cup matches.
Right sided Blind?
Same. Regular minutes won't do him any harm but I think he's already good enough to deputise for Valencia and our other options at RB aren't particularly convincing.
Players like Tuanzebe, Mitchell and McTominay are the ones I think are more in need of a loan.
Mou said last season he wanted to rest Valencia more than he had done, but did not have any other suitable RB's in the squad. Playing TFM there during pre season without using Darmian there suggest he does not see Darmian as backup RB.
Further we have been linked to at least three RB's in the past week. No coincidence I think.
If true, it sounds like we may have given up on getting Fabinho
So, do we think (making the huge assumption there is any truth in this) that this would be as general cover for most of the midfield, or is it more likely Mourinho sees something in him for a particular position?
Maybe at RB?
Propper good signing
I believe the Roberto stuff originates from Don Balon. So....
Good move to loan Mensah to Crystal Palace. He wasn't gonna displace Valencia and hopefully he'll be a regular under his former Dutch boss.
I think the loan moves for the 2 youngsters are great moves, will get good experience and hopefully come back and ready for the first team.
Mundo Deportivo are running with story. Not sure if they're quoting Don Balon though..
I wouldn't be surprised if he's loaned out to gain experience in a position that we can't afford to give him minutes in. No point in having him as cover for rb if Jose doesn't see him as a rb
Won't post the Tweet because I don't know how reliable Don balon is as a source. But aparently Bale has told modric that he is going to United.
They redefine 'unreliable'. Literally just make shit up.
They're the Spanish Star/Express, ignore it
Excellent move for Fosu-Mensah. Glad he went to Palace rather than Watford. Thought Jose's close relationship with Marco Silva might have led to him going there. Think he'll do great under de Boer regardless of which position he plays. Also think it's very unlikely we would let him go on loan without being confident of having a rb coming. Aurier's case is today, I imagine we are very confident of him winning it to agree to this move before the official verdict. If Aurier doesn't win it we must also have a backup in mind. I don't buy that we'd be content with just Darmian as backup for both fb positions
