Sweetener for Hazard to Madrid?

Great player, would like him at United.

Would suit Sarriball and would make a nice midfield 3 of Jorginho, Kante and Kovacic.

Could be a good deal, he's pretty much a squad player for Real Madrid and didn't feature much for Croatia.

He's got legs unlike Fabregas and will offer more defensively than Barkley/Fabregas.

But in terms of him grabbing goals from midfield, it seems unlikely as he managed 1 in the league for Real and the same for Croatia.

If he's any good, I'm sure there'll be an option to buy at the end of the season. If not he can go back.

Should mean the end of Drinkwater...

I'd be very envious of this.

Puts Bakayoko further down the order.

Sign me up.

We need a goalscoring midfielder IMO. Hazard usually grabs 15-16 PL goals, Willian around 6-7 and Morata got 11 last season.

That's really not enough considering Kanté and Jorginho aren't known for their goalscoring.

Also, It's a loan with an option to buy, Probably a sweetener as they're getting Courtois on the cheap.

Can't pretend iv seen anything of him , any good ? And what sort of player is he ?

If we sort out the midfield and dominate games that alone would mean more goals.

With an attacking system we should be looking at 15 from Eden and whoever our forward is. Whoever starts out of Pedro or Willy should be capable of 10 and the main two forward subs should get atleast 10 between them. Barkley you would think would chip in with a cheeky 5.

So that's 50-55 roughly, the main worry would be if we could get 10-20 out of the rest.

What is cheeky about scoring 5 goals?

It would be pretty cheeky scoring them from the bench.

I'd like a proper goal scorer, maybe Fekir he scores goals that's for sure.
