Yeah he probaly hasn't the physical build of Matic, or that type of player. De Jong has been linked for a while too, while he is 29 and an ex City player he could be a decent signing for that role. It would be good to have them both, since other DM options seem to be off.

Blind a versatile player so, centre or left back too.

Daley Blind is a done deal for 18mill euros, according to the Mail's chief sports journalist Matt Lawton.

Blind has played in midfield for the past 2 seasons with Ajax so wouldn't be surprised if played there. Player of the year last season in the Dutch League as a DM midfielder.

But a natural midfielder would be good, Blind more of a versatile player. He should be a good signing

Was Blind the lad that played left back against Chile in the World cup? That did a butcher job on Sanchez? Could be a nice acquisition in midfield if he can play a bit of ball and control that aggression.

Yeah that was him

decent stats from last season

Daley Blind made the most passes (2089), interceptions (74) and tackles (77) of all Ajax players last Eredivisie season.

Yeah looks good on the face of it anyway,hopefully hits the ground running if it is done which appears to be the case.

Very attack minded side today De Gea, Jones, Evans, Blackett, Valencia, Young, Fletcher, Di Maria, Mata, Rooney, van Persie.  Only 1 midfielder on the bench in Anderson and at a stretch you might say Januzaj.

Yer in serious bother if ye can't beat Burnley. 3 or 4-0 to United I'd say.
When you think you're fucked you're only about 40% fucked.

I don't think there's much need for the "if ye can't beat Burnley" part.
