Okay so we are getting Vidal? We need at least 2 more players before the transfer window closes!
Woody, we need a CM!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

Vidal is off. Blind is most likely.
Well if they want Chicharito, than they have to give up Vidal!
Blind is not going to fix the problem, we need someone else. And yes getting Blind, last would be a dissappointing window, if we do not get another big name midfielder!
Would be an interesting signing, really rate him but is he signed to be RV replacement? Far too good to be a backup player.
4-0-6, not needed.
Good signing. One more please.
Well, that escalated quickly!
I can handle that for £14. At least the guy knows LvG and has played his system. Like i've said many times, if he turns out to be half as good as his dad then United have got a bloody good signing.
Waste of money.
If true, £14m is a good fee, I guess. I was afraid we'd actually succumb to their alleged £20m demands.
£14 million seems fair. Not sure I believe it though. It's the Mail, and it's 12:30am. Odd time to break a story like that.
Good stuff. Need two midfielders in as well though.
Fecks sake.
Just so you know, we just bought a player who was 3rd choice for us.

Would be a good deal for 14 mill. Decent utility player and knows LVG system well.
Okay.
Ehh Blind. WE needed someone better not 3rd choice. If Blind was wrapped so quickly than I expect at least one more signing before deadline day!
We could have done better, but he is better than what we have bar Carrick and Herrera.....this is not a compliment because I would have said the same thing if we signed a league one midfielder.
Don't really care much about this signing. Our most pressing need is quality in CM, Blind hardly qualifies as that, from what I've seen of him he's hardly an upgrade from what we already have.
He isn't. He's a utility player who can fill gaps till we get exactly what we need. He's also not a bad player in his own right. He's certainly better than every midfielder we have, bar Carrick and Hererra.
At that fee it's very good business! We still need another CM though, Carvalho would be nice.
For that sort of price, i'm pretty pleased with Blind. He knows LVG and his system. It'll just be interesting to see how he's used, CDM or LB?
We don't need any more utility players, we have 3 LB options and as a CM he's too slow and weak for the PL.
I'm gonna guess primarily cdm. But will be used in all 3 positions
Hardly an upgrade? Fletcher is wayyyy past it.
We're signing another CM in January/next summer. Probably Strootman or Carvalho.
Don't you feel anything?
3rd/4th choice on a list of midfielders is not good enough. We need world class midfielders, we can't afford to get a half-decent midfielder (plays 2 positions) when we don't even have a World class midfielder.
Our whole midfielder is even more mediocre than before. Herrera/Carrick are the onlys that are decent.
IMO he will be a decent replacement for Cleverley as a squad player, hopefully we won't rely on him much in the coming years.
Good addition to the squad. Tidy little player that can be a quick fix in 2-3 positions. Heir to O'Shea's throne and United's very own Großkreutz.
PS : @Herman Van Rompuy must be delighted with this signing !

If he can be the ideal utility man, 14 million is an okay fee. But by that, I mean, he should be able to play in different roles well and not just do a mediocre job.
Thought his primary position was central defence?
Yes, because all his years of playing in the PL have proven that.
Yes, hardly an upgrade.
January is too late. We need a top midfielder right now if we are to have hope of qualifying for CL next year.
Us?
CDM without a doubt, Shaw is pretty much nailed on starting LB.
Yeah, lets sign Vidal who is unavailable. How about Schweinsteiger? Not available either? Riiiiiight.
Jeez, give the guy a chance before he arrives here.
Everyone wanted a world class midfielder. Sadly the targets we want have dodgy knees or are injured.
Brilliant news. I don't know how anybody can act all huffy when we're signing a DM. HE'S A DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDER!
Plus, I still think we'll get someone else in.
