He’d be great, and the exact sort of signing we should be making. Which is why it won’t happen.
I know nothing about him, who dis....could the data have led Lange to his door?

Never been against the 'try before you buy' element that comes with a loan+ option, although this also depends on the calibre of those charged with the responsibility of making the right decision when called on to pull the trigger without shooting themselves in the foot.
 
I've no doubt you've watched him play extensively.

What’s that got to do with whether it’s ambitious or not, lol?

I did watch him play extensively. It’s not hard, he was playing every week for a premier league team.

He’s very limited and one dimensional, but incredibly good at the one dimensional thing he can do. That’s fine. He’s Ugarte who I like but who is part of United struggling a bit in possession.

He was also very available with us having a totally free run at him and on a lovely loan with option to buy deal. It doesn’t make it a bad signing, but it is a classic ENIC signing reeking of ease and opportunism.

Nothing wrong with those once in a while when you combine it with ambition to go after the harder to attain players.
 
Palinha is a decent move IMO, very experienced destroyer type midfielder who has done well in the PL in the past with no obligation to buy him outright, kicks the can down the road a bit for the likes of Gray and Sarr to prove they can hang with the big boys or else find a 6 who can, at 30 if we do make him permanent can get 3 good years out of him at least.
