Exactly, we need a DM who is comfortable receiving the ball facing our goal that is able to turn and distribute quickly and accurately, and who reads the game well enough to break up play as other teams are breaking and in front of of area.
Bissouma has that profile but is waaaay too inconsistent and his passing is not at a good enough level to break the press.
There was no direct quotes (as players are not allowed to comment on transfer rumours) but several social media was saying so. Whether it's true or not is up to each individual to believe but I have no doubts that he much rather join Juve over Spurs seeing all the mess at Spurs.
Chelski were also interested in Muani but they quickly pulled out...
Ffs the annoying thing is that this is a completely accurate reflection of the message we've been receiving from the club for the past 10 years
Yeah its frustrating because it seems like our recruitment model is just bringing in the same profiles that don't solve any of our issues. I don't think throwing Angel Gomes into our midfield next to Bentancur and Maddison resolves anything. If anything it'll just make us more flashy and better on the ball but even lighter, softer and weaker off the ball!
Starting to look like we got scarlet back because they are shitting it if we don't get anybody else in
He is at the end of his contract so he is available at that is how we operate.
I'm with you there.
It's that test of time I apply to most things, bizarrely less so on transfers, but in the main, that assessment of how good someone is not how good they are as opposed to how long they are good for.
At present Iraola is going through a purple patch with Bournemouth, very much like Santo at Forest. Those wheels tend to grind to a halt but you never know..
And I will keep saying it, but our club needs a big, character. Massive in fact.
Unless they want to play him #10?
Really don’t see him working as 6 or 8 in the PL
Rashford out of favour at United - I'd be all over a loan with option to buy in the summer.
A #10? doubt it.
Unless he's a complete flop. He's definitely not good enough for a top 6 side at this point. If we aim to be there, we can't spend big on complete unknowns.
His career as a footballer ended when his advisors tried to make him.into a poor man's bob geldof...a you'd have to be stone bonkers at the minute to cover his £350 k a week wages
I've always stuck to this opinion and I always will. No club is too good to go down, but they don't have to just accept it.
West Ham, Newcastle and Villa were all too big and too good but sticking with appalling managers sent them down. In all 3 cases the squad was easily good enough to stay up, but absolute cowboys at the helm sent them down.
In the 90's and prior, coaches would usually walk when it wasn't working. It was for the best of the football club that they left. Now, because of the financial benefit of being sacked, these absolute monsters will dig in and happily take a team down rather than walk and forfeit their payoff.
I always thought Levy was wise enough to see the danger and sack them when needed. I don't actually have too much of a problem with a lot of them over the years.
This time he seems to have lost his fucking marbles. We're about to make the "2 points from 8 games" look decent.

BJ is Welsh....
I don’t believe it.
The last thing we need is another temperamental player who turns up when he fancies it.
In a double pivot I think he would be fine. He is very classy on the ball and gets around the pitch well. On his own as a 6 then no.
I would, for 4 months.
