Blind would be a great addition. Look at our potential team tomorrow - he'd be great option for a number of positions and certainly represents a step up in quality from the likes of Fellaini, Cleverley, Buttner, etc
 
Blind is bang average. Wouldn't be particularly happy with that one tbh.
 
Looks like The Space we were supposed to be watching for has made itself apparent.

Fair fecks to Woodward if we sign Di Maria and two others next week.
 
Do we really need him? We already have Shaw as our starting LB (hopefully) and cover in Rojo. What's the point of blowing another £15m on a player we've no room for?
I think they would use him as a CDM. I would rather a tough tackler like De Jong and the other CM to be either Vidal or Khedira.
 
If Alex Shaw's tweet proves to be true, losing to Swansea might turn out to be the best thing to have happened this season.
 
He is better than Fellaini, Cleverley, Fletcher added up.. Blind would be a very good signing, no Vidal but he is the best Ajax player at the moment, not average.

Would sit and hold the middle when the others run wild. Would be perfect next to Carrick or Herrara too.

He can play defence and midfield which will come in very handy considering the injury-prone-ness of our players.

We have 3 Covers at LB now and he cannot play in a 2 man Central defense.

Really only point to sign him is for midfield which is his best position but if he was good enough to be a starter there then we'd signed him already.
 
Excellent shit. Not only would this be a great signing in and of itself, it would also prove that Ed's at least to some degree willing to put his money where his Brobdingnagian mouth is. Bodes well for future twitter threads.

We need quality though not just 'better than fletcher/fellaini/cleverley'. For his versatility he'd be decent enough I suppose as long as the price was right.
 
Its not like we have much cm's of good quality bar Herrera, Carrick. He can play defence and Mid and would be a good partner for Herrera. Herrera could go more forward when he is suited next to Blind.

I am not convinced LVG rates him as a CM that highly tbh or we'd signed him up already and he would have featured there more for Holland as well.

He can do a job there but is he starting quality or even has the potential to be top quality ? Doubt it.

Rest of the positions seem covered now.
 
Please don't ruin it by signing Blind, there are far better players out there. We don't need more average ones. Keep adding top class players like Di Maria and were on our way, I wouldn't mind Blind before Rojo but now there is no point.

Let's get a top centre half in to close this window!

Indeed!!!
 
Tbh if we get Di Maria done anything else is a bonus, De Jong would be a decent squad player I suppose.
 
Surely not Blind.surely we could have easily got that done about 3months back if we'd really wanted him!

I'm sure I've read his agent hopefully saying there's been no contact yet about 37 times this summer
