Fred to Galatasaray

I don't see it happening. Other than Matic, he's the only other player that can play that role.

MEN reporting it and an improved loan offer from Gala.

I doubt this will happen, but I have just had a look at our squad and we need to ship out a lot of guff.

If you paid £52 then you sure did pay less than we did for Fabinho! But if you paid £52m then you didn't.

personally not bothered if he leaves, but given that galatasaray's record transfer is £15m this would be yet another expensive writeoff.

you'd think there'd be someone higher up the food chain interested in him, though interest from turkey may tell its own story.

I thought he had a really good season before lockdown.

Unless we can recoup back most of what we paid for him which is unlikely I see no reason to let him go.

Won't believe this until Matth confirms it.

Wolves maybe. They are higher up the food chain than Turkey.

What about the real deadwood, Jesse, Andreas and Mata (can barely run)??

Will be horrified if we let Fred go and those 3 are still at the club

Yh get rid of mata before fred

Can’t see an option-to-buy deal coming to fruition because I can’t see how Galatasaray could stump up the £30M plus we’d surely want.

It’d lump quite a lot of responsibility on McT’s shoulders even if DVB did come in.

Fred had a good season and did a decent job when Pogba was injured. I can't believe we're getting rid of him before Lingard and Perreira.

There’s probably 10 players at this club I’d see out the door before Fred

Any chance of Garner being more of the 1st team squad if this happens?

We’re not. It’s paper rubbish.

if this is correct, gala have signed one player in the last 5 years for more than £10m:

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/galatasaray-sk/transferrekorde/verein/141/plus/0/galerie/0?saison_id=&pos=&detailpos=&altersklasse=&w_s=

i'd get rid of jones and mata for £0-5m, pereira and lingard for £10-15m, but if you offer semi-decent cover in midfield i don't really see the point of flogging you to the turks for £12m.

Looks like Garner will be going out on loan to a Championship club for the season.

oh well, at least he'll be getting 1st team football.

Fred is the kind of player I am sorry to see go.
He tries in every game, and is improving.
But it's true he's not top class.

Yeah, it's the right level I think, because he should be playing every week.

Sunderland have been interested. Also talk about Hudds Town, Wednesday, Swansea and at least one other unnamed club.

Other than Matic, he's the only other player that can play that role.

---------------------------------------------

Nobody other than Matic can do what he does in that role.

Fred's undiscipined positionally and his proactive tendencies leave him caught out of position too often.

Swansea should the pick from those teams. They have Steve Cooper who used to coach one of the younger England teams.

And there is a hell of a lot of it to ship out before we consider Fred.

Fred is a quality player. I'd keep him over Matic, Pereira, Lingard or Mata.
