But there is something that looks visibly pedestrian, I think is probably the best word to it, honestly.

W- yeah, pedestrian's the right word.

Um, absolutely, and that, that is quite alarming.

I mean, Carrick, you know, last season we played fast football.

You know, the break against City, the, the, the, the win against Arsenal and, and, and, you know, they, they could play on the break, they could play qui- quickly.

So that's not...

Th- there's a new manager.

If you flip it and you take it from a worrying perspective, whether or not the finishes were good, there was poor structure and assembly in the run-up to that opportunity actually being created in the first place.

And with everything that you're getting in terms of his age profile, the Premier League proven ability, and his characteristics and traits to complement the existing players in this squad, it's about as good as we could ask for Sam, isn't it?

I would say, I mean, my feeling is, I think when you say it's as good as we could ask for, I think the best we could probably ask for was too many.

And I feel, my feeling is, I think United held on as long as possible to see if there was any hope in that deal.

And didn't want to get down to deadline day or something nervous or something silly um and with a good um you know a good couple of weeks before the deadline have decided to to act um i i think um i think belabor yeah i think i'm i'm excited by it i mean i think that the The only risk is buying somebody after a mediocre season.

I mean, he's had three seasons in the Premier League, which is great.

Premier League proven player, which was obviously with Cunha and Mbouma a huge success.

United have repeated that with their midfield rebuild, all Premier League proven.

Now, do you agree with the logic or do you see it as potentially harmful and moving forward to stick to your guns and dig your heels in so much?
