It sounds like Ederson won't pass the medical.

Santos to United confirmed.

We're paying Chelsea £48 million + £2 million in add-ons.. A player that's been out on loan to the French League. A player that Chelsea doesn't want.

And we said we wouldn't overpay for players. What a ****ing joke.

No doubt the incompetent ****stains at United think this signing is a win.

We were promised so much for this summer window when it came to the midfield rebuild. So far we've got Ederson and Santos. Anderson gone, Tonali gone, Tchouameni is signing a new deal at Madrid. It's like getting a PS5 for Christmas and inside is ****ing socks.

I rate Santos quite highly.. So many reasons that he didn't work out at Chelsea and none of them are really the players fault. Most their fans are not happy he's being sold which is a good sign.

Interested to see his role in the squad, he's not really a destroyer 6 and a pivot of Santos-Mainoo doesn't scream physicality to me. In all likelihood he's the back up to Mainoo.

Market is dire. Most the big clubs need the exact same profile of player.

That's the problem.

We need that physical monster in the midfield. None of the midfielders we're getting are that and the ones that could have provided that, we passed on.

We were promised so much with this midfield rebuild, and we've been completely let down. This midfield rebuild is going to be useless because we still don't have someone that can stop our midfield from being overwhelmed.

I'm sure Santos is good in other areas, but he's not good in the area we desperately need, and that's why he's not a good signing.

Not just that, but we're forking out £50 million for a ****ing bench player. So much for not overpaying.
