Aparantly the dreaded man Utd delagation are in Madrid conducting talks for Saul niguez!

He has a €24m buyout clause so if we've sent the right people then this rumour could have legs in it.

I have no idea who he is and where he plays or how good he is. Can other posters enlighten me as to whether he is Utd material and is he likely to be the best available for his position.

Along with Gerard Deulofeu, Oliver Torres, Hectorin Bellorin and Jose Luis Gaya - he looks like one of the next great Spanish players.

When I've watched him play he's seemed solid enough but there's still a lot of learning to be done. I can't imagine him making an immediate impact and wonder where he would fit as he's primarily a defensive minded midfielder.

That said I do think he'd be a good long term signing if managed correctly.

Well Ed said she doubts a move is viable this window, maybe the summer unless something has changed in the last couple days.

Oliver torres now there's a player. Wonder if he has a buyout price €30mill last summer 😆😆.

Primarily a Central Midfielder, can also be deployed as a defensive midfielder or left wing?

He likes to get forward though?

He's a midfielder who is equally adept playing as a box-to-box as he is playing defensive midfield. One of the most highly thought upcoming players in Spain. Makes sense with Fellaini likely to be moved on and Carrick probably retiring.

As there are no comments from any of the Eds so far - I'm thinking that there are no legs in this.
Would he partner Schneiderlin or be competition for that place? would this mean that Felliani is OK for transfer?

Hearing rumours about Carrick thinking of retiring at the end of the season, maybe discussed it with Van Gaal so he can look for replacements.

Other players to be consider instead;

Sergi Darder
Talisca
Stefano Sturaro
Marcelo Brozovic

Thoughts guys?

Saul has said he his committing his future to Atletico .
Think back a year or so ago when Woodward was courting Van Gaal when Moyes was in charge, and using Van Persie to help get him into the managers hot seat .
Why oh why aren't we repaying the favour and sacking van gaal and getting Jose in?
Hurts me to say I can't stand watching the team anymore and pray they lose games, so they can get rid of that bafoon we have as a manager.

We need a proven classy Central Defender and Central Midfielder.
And while there at get rid of that useless excuse of a footballer they call Fellaini. Absolutely embarrassing!

Saul won't leave Atletico, he not for sale and is part of their long term project.
