I’d have thought you’d laid low a bit longer after the other day

After having your pants pulled down by tofeenut I’m surprised you’re now going for the Bobble. You one of those folks into humiliation? No judgment here.
Are they? Based on what?
I don’t mind this for the right price. Seems a bit of a pace/blind alley merchant like Gray, but unlike Gray, it looks like he works hard, defends well, isn’t useless when the ball is in the air and most importantly, is at an age where he will likely improve.
And I’ve just watched a short clip of him, and he did this thing where he passed the ball and then immediately moved into space. Which is good to see.

Hopefully he’s young enough that we can coach that out of him.
The ‘why are we signing United cast offs’ shouts were only relevant when we were trying to break into the Top 4 under Moyes, now there is little to no chance we’d be able to buy a player good enough to play for a champions league team in the premier league so let’s look at who we actually signed
Howard - was our number one for years and was good until he played a bit too long and ruined his rep
Saha - excellent on his day, probably only bettered by Lukaku and Yakubu in terms of lethalness in my 25 or so years watching the blues (I’m 34 so shouldn’t count much before). If he was fit more often wouldn’t have left United - easily our first choice if he was here now
Neville - would be our starting left back right now and in his prime would also start in CDM for us right now too
Gibson - was class when fit but if he was more fit wouldn’t have left United
Keane - was signed from Burnley because he is good in a low block system. Obviously we then signed him and rarely played that way so he’s only looked good when we did… more a comment on our abysmal planning I think
Rooney - worth a go but he didn’t have the legs when he came back. Enjoyed him equalising at the kop end and a few gem moments like his 3rd against West Ham but not the best
Kanchelskis - bit of a reach going back this far but world class
Blomqvist - worth a punt but bad injury record and never got going
Cleverly - not good enough, not worth the hate he got though, he tried
Schneiderlin - despised this player, absolutely worth all the hate, absolute coward and could’ve been great if he had any kind of backbone
So overall those are some decent returns and the good outweighs the bad I think.

We will break him.
That can’t be true!!! I’ve heard of this, but thought it was a myth.

A loan clearly makes more sense with an option to buy.
He still has 3 years on his contract and United have a years extention option.
Seems to want to do exactly this.
Also some of the names are pre-Dyche so it seems like Thelwell also has a direct input on our dealings.
Would still like to think they will be looking at another winger or two. Would prefer a loan with option to buy the lad, but think he is worth the risk if we can sell gray

If it was me...and I posted this a season or two ago (as did @Nymzee not long ago) I think a midfield diamond would be the better way forward.
We punt Gray and Iwobi and then we have: Onana, Gana, Garner, Doucoure, McNeil. Adding 2 more players (Wharton/Scott) and using the rest of the funds for centre forward would make alot more sense to me than spreading around wingers also.
If we have moved on to Elanga, the only reasons will be, price and length of installments. I have no idea whether he's any good because he hardly ever plays to my memory.
Then who plays out on the right, is the wrong way to go. I still want money spent on a cf i think danjuma could be the winger/ cf on loan with us still looking for a dcl type. Maybe even young becomes backup outwide as the club get a lb. I would also want a cm maybe wharton even tho not had any strong links
