Not a huge amount of quality out there in the DM position. So Palinha for a season or two to fill a hole until we see how Wharton, Baleba, etc develop isn’t the worst idea.

Also, he may be 30, but didn’t play much last season, so a young 30?

I think there is quality out there, We've been linked with the DM's at Sporting, Sevilla and Monaco for example. I'm sure there are more, it's the job of the scouts to watch games around Europe and make a comprehensive list
 
If we are going for a tough beast like 6 who intercepts and tackles well and shields the back 4 then we should go for Hjulmund, We won’t go for him due to price, however. Sporting reportedly want 80 mil euro.
This is the problem. The really good 6s cost big money. So we will go the cut price option because we are cheapskate FC
 
Sorry but just fucking no

We needed a starting 11, spine of the team, centerpiece DM as a chief priority before the window started.

A 30 year old journeyman who just floppped at Bayern as a stop gap is small time and exactly why fans feel the club doesn’t really care about winning.

If he was a hotel, would Levy invest in Palinha?
I just disagree. He sniffs out danger in a way none of our plethora of midfielders do. He give us a balance that would help other players shine. Team building is all about finding a balance, particularly in midfield.
