Good god, I forgot he existed. Remember when we started him in a second-leg knockout round in the Europa? Good times.

Actually I just checked and we also started Christian Atsu in that game.
Away at Kiev. Martinez's suicidal tactics and a complete meltdown from Alcaraz. god that was a bad night.
 
insane to sign another 30+ defender...we need to be looking at bringing through Holgate etc not signing guys like this.
I'm all up for nurturing our current talented players, but stop-gaps such as this would be ideal until they're ready or we sign someone better.

I don't think it will happen personally, but I can see the logic behind bringing him in for a low-ish fee.
 

Not if Jags is being sold mate.

I'd rather have Fonte in the side than Mori, for example. But I'd rather have Mori than Jags at this stage.

Fonte to come in as a stop-gap if Jags is off, and then go and get a Keane/Gibson/Koulibaly (who knows ;) ) in the summer.

Mori then goes if he hasn't improved, and we have Fonte or Williams as back-up, while Holgate continues to provide cover for both CB and RB.

whats to stop fonte doing a distin as soon as he signs? if were up to snuff then go in for lindelof seeing as united dont need him in yet.

williams + fonte would be slow so wed be sat deeper leaving the midfield needing to sit back too and lukaku miles ahead...

if we sign a CB its got to be a young monster with pace

Nothing mate, except he's been just as good this season as he was last and the one before that.

I'm not gonna be gutted if we're not in for him/don't get him but, I think it's a definite possibility if there's an opportunity for Jagielka to go.

That being said, you make a good point about the pace issue.
 

We should go for Chancel Mbemba of Newcastle.
For some reason he's not playing there but I've seen him play for Anderlecht (in CL as well) and he's really great. Strong, fast but especially technically good. A real football playing CB. Next to him you can put someone who can only defend and head balls away (Williams? Mori?).
Hes absolutely chod mind the mags think hes amazing, just like they do all their players all are worth £20m+

Also 22yr old my hoop
