I wouldn't say 'so' good, just that he's not an out and out dud.
An effective midfielder that plays as a DM but is good on the ball and happy to look to move it forward rather than just offload it and hang back. Used to be very good at supporting the CBs and making himself available. Good under pressure, doesn't cough it up. Calm. Basically, a better version of Hojberg.
That said, I saw him play a couple of times last season and he was awful.
As others have suggested though, sounds like he might be a complete tit, so not the best for team morale.
Another strange signing for UTD as they'll likely end up paying him around 200k plus a week and not be able to sell him.
Beggars belief.
Can you imagine any of their previous five managers going anywhere near that player?
I'd love it, think he's about to have a real breakout season. Have a feeling he'd end up a better signing than Richarlison tbh. And would push Lucas that bit further down the queue.I think Paratici will get this over the line.
Conte would like a quality player to slot into the right hand side, and with Richarlison predominantly a player (who at Everton) was played either on the left or central (only a couple of games where Kulu plays) Conte see's this as an essential signing.
I read this morning that an offer of forty odd million has been rejected, so i think Paratici will go all in this week at some point.
Definitely see this getting done sooner or later, tremendous talent.

Man Utd have lost their shit. They finally get shot of some of the arrogant wasters in Lingard and Pogba and now they are over a barrell on Ronaldo and want to sign Rabiot and Arnautovic? Ten Hag should do a 2014 Poch, bin the wasters, draft in pliable youngsters and build from there. Still sod em, its one less team to worry about.
By all accounts Ten Hag wants them
Poch would have been much better for their rebuild, he would have got rid of all the arseholes but he's a bottler apparantely and not in fashion so...
Yep. Poch would have been perfect for them and vice versa. Lowered expectations, some decentish youngsters with some good players who need a kick up the arse because they're just going through the motions due to mismanagement. Similarities to when he joined us.By all accounts Ten Hag wants them

Yep.
Pogba. Ronaldo. Ibrahimavic.
They like a "star player" and think they're able to be bigger than the name.
I was going to suggest that Spurs go for Jan Oblak next summer when his present contract expires....only to find out that he's extending his contract until 2025So Spurs may as well listen to Brad and keep Lloris until he's 40...

Only issue is would he be allowed to get rid of them. There seems to be a pattern of United managers coming in, wanting players out, nothing happening then getting sacked. Backing the managers seems like a alien concept to the Glazers.
