I just don't understand this one. Probably the area in our squad with the most competition...why bring in another? Playing just one of Gallagher, Eze and Van de Beek seems silly.

100% would take him for 6 months, I don't rate Schlupp as a Cm, does much better on the wing. DVB would add some class to our midfield, I'd expect him to react like Sakho did when he came on loan from Liverpool after being frozen out. Utd want him in their squad for next season so no buy option available, however if he likes it here and kicks off it's a potential major coup as Gallagher will go...

I think the only way we want him is a 6 month loan that is extendable to 18 months. Otherwise, I think it's a waste. Also, I'll note that midfielders are probably the most difficult to plug into the team, so would probably be a few weeks before he's at his best. Originally posted by steven_t92

We have numbers in midfield hut are they quality numbers? I think past Hughes Gallagher and Kpuyate the others are poor, Mcarthur is the only one who can do a job outside that 3 but he could be done with this injury. If we have the opportunity to add a 4th option with real quality then we should do it. Hughes Gallagher and VdB can all play in a mobile 3 that can all attack and defend.

Hughes Gallagher and Vdb are great ballers but would get slaughtered against more physical teams. Need the presence of a Kouyate or Luka in there too. And to answer your other question, you forget a little guy called Eze...who's our future at 10 (hopefully). Look, I wouldn't mind getting him in. Obvious quality. Just think there are other areas that need strengthening more...a quality left back to compete with Mitchell, for a start.

I was thinking and maybe this could be a very good signing. Last season we all joked about West Ham signing another attacking midfielder when they got Lingaard as they already had about 12, but my god he was the dog's proverbials. Given results have not been so great maybe he would give us a boost. He is certainly desperate to play and impress and in the cameos I've seen him in he does look class. It's a weird one as I do have reservations but at the same time he would instantly improve our midfield. Maybe I'm too sentimental about existing players.

Is another LB going to improve the team, when you have Ferguson, Reidewald and Schlupp who can cover.

As others have said, RB should be the priority as JW is the currently weak link. We’re probably working on this. However, DVB is a seriously high quality player, it would be an incredible signing, but a big step down for him. Not sure he’d want to be here. He was one Ajax’s star players of their 2018 Champions League semi final run, and in my opinion is Man Utd’s best midfielder. Doesn’t seem to fit in there though for some reason.

Maybe we should fit the players we have available to the best formation that fit them, instead of trying to shoehorn players in for the sake of 4-3-3
