We asked for your views on Manchester United reigniting their interest in Brighton's Carlos Baleba, having already pursued a deal for the midfielder 12 months ago.
Here are some of your comments:
Dave: That's the last-minute decision! I know it has been talked about for a year or so, but in that year he has been non-existent. It seems a bad choice to me. Myles Lewis-Skelly surely outshines Baleba in all aspects football-related and money-related? And, more importantly, he is fit. Baleba is an Andrey Santos inferior and he is more expensive.
Howard: I'm happy with this. We need some strength in midfield and he can provide that. Also, he wants Manchester United which is great. We shouldn't pay too much attention to his poor season last time out, he was unsettled and he will be good for us. Let's hope this happens, we need a good strong defensive midfielder like him.
Thomas: There are far more talented players that have failed at United, and far worse ones that have excelled. We need players with elite mentalities. If he has that, then he has my full support.
Mark: My biggest concern over Baleba is whether he will cope with the higher pressure at United. His form fell off last season - if it was because the move fell through then it would be a concern over his mental strength, if not it is a question over why it happened and whether he can regain that form.
Coops: I'm absolutely baffled by this one. Another bang average midfielder when we desperately need a defensive rebuild. Maxence Lacroix, Ezri Konsa, Jan Paul van Hecke all gone to our rivals. A bad transfer window, despite all the promises, again!
