Hope he's better than the last Leicester midfielder we bought.

 

[Ricky]

Can play RB too.

A bit left field and it would take another decent fee but he fits the bill for what we're looking for.

Can’t be worse

 

[Mouth of the South]

Don't think he was on many people's radar as a potential signing but he does tick a lot of boxes for Utd need. I think I've only seen him play a few times so can't really comment on his ability but he's certainly a unit.

 

[TaipeiBlade]

I know nothing about him. But its a position we need.

 

[blademark]

Pete O'rourke is rarely wrong, and when you study his experience and versatility, he looks perfect for us. Guessing around £6-8m might get him?

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Our Bash alternative?

 

[1889Paul]

Most likely to be a loan, as he missed most of last season with a broken ankle

Is he fit now?

 

[Macfarlane21]

Bigger thumbs up from me. We definitely need a more mobile CB to cover Bash and potentially JOC. As good as our our business has been, I would be concerned if we didn't sign someone who can play in our overlapping CB roles before the window closes.

Looks to have 3 years left on his contract too so a loan could well be possible.

 

[Pinchy]

Tufty has said publicly that his priority is CM. I’m pretty sure that’s what he has in mind for this lad. Big, strong and powerful. Leicester bought him to replace Kante. I’ve no doubt that we see a similar role for him. Obviously versatility is a bonus too.

 

[FriethBlade]

Never heard of him but exactly the right profile. Right age, looks like right physical attributes, versatile and covers the defensive midfield and centre back positions.

What's not to like ?

 

[ChinaBlade]

Without checking, I'm sure he joined them for 'big' money? If he is over his injury this would be very astute business from what I've seen of him. (Which is only on the odd occasion, granted.)

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Just when you think the window couldn't get any better.

This would be a brilliant signing - ticks a lot of boxes; premier league experience, physicality, versatility in places where we need it, he can be a bit of a nasty bastard too - get him in!

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

I love how the media always refer to the signing of one player as a “raid”

 

[SteveBlade]

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Could see this happening. Type of signing we probably need as well, energetic ball winner.

Not really, ‘only’ £6million - so not exactly earth shattering for us at the minute. Played just 40 odd times for Leicester since 2016 so prossibly looking to move on too.

 

[FriethBlade]

There has never been a window where theres been such agreement on this board ! Virtually every signing and many of the links have been greeted with universal approval.

 

[fatpat]

Badly broken ankle only just over 6 months ago, would imagine he is far off being fully fit at this time

 

[bongleblade]

“While his workrate roughly equalled Kanté's, he has been unable to match his tackles and interceptions.”

if his workrate can match kante, im sure wilder can work on the rest with him. UTB

Not read the Kevin McDonald thread then?

I have reported myself .

Or in the Joe Hart and Mignolet rumours, universal disapproval

 

[JPSharpy93]

Not heard of him, but looks an upgrade on Obi Mikel and another player wanting to hopefully prove a point.

What about the men? Get with the program Fred.

EDIT: Ah fuck, beaten to it. Hate it when you read the rest of the thread and that happens :-(
