Haha, he isn’t shiiiit. He’s absolutely not what we need though, and his mistakes are as tedious as they are predictable.

He’s a strange player. You’d tend to think he’d do well in a good side that controlled possession without needing to rely on a high intensity approach or quick transition to create attacking opportunities. An LVG type approach.

But not a Mourinho side, and certainly not a Ole side.

He'd have fit right in for Oles side at Molde or Cardiff tbf, they're all shiyte too.

Regarding Mandzukic, I keep hearing about how fit he is for a 40 year old and how his game is all about pressing, whether it be from in front of the defenders or even behind them chasing back to goal, good positional awareness when pressing, good tackling for a striker too. Obviously we know he can finish, so the goals would be a bonus, plus he's a fighter, a real team player, and a winner. So can he play DM?

I’ll not discuss this any further with you.

He’s more mobile than Matic, for sure.

Fellaini is more mobile than Matic.

Does anyone think we'll be linked to a midfielder, and have them bought out the blue? One we've not been reading about in the papers for weeks, like how the Martial signing happened?

Yeah Banega.
