Slower and more clumsy.How would he compare to Chris Smalling?

So I presume we will get a deal done for this lad by June 30th, but it wont be at the price Everton want.
If it happens and no other CB leaves (i.e. lindelof) then that's our CB transfers done for the summer.
Martinez
Branthwaite
Maguire
Lindelof
Evans
Kambwala

What big transfers have been complete by big clubs thus far?Moving at snail's pace on transfers and also to decide on EtH
Pretty sure Branthwaite would play on the right side, alongside Martinez. Though I do agree with you, we need more than one centre back.Branthwaite wouldn’t be enough. We’d still need a right footed CB to replace Varane. That is what I’d be targeting first.
This really, the nature of 24/7 news means we fill the gaps when they aren’t any.What big transfers have been complete by big clubs thus far?
How do you know were moving slow on Eth if you don't know the full process in the decision?
Don't think united moving slow at all, fans are just impatient and bored.
Ye but then we’d have 2 left footers playing. Not that it would be a problem but if ETH is still here he won’t be a fan of it as he’s mentioned the importance of having correct footed people on the right sides.Pretty sure Branthwaite would play on the right side, alongside Martinez.

Branthwaite won't be coming here to sit on the bench though so it's inevitable that him and Martinez would play together. If we were that bothered, we could play either Branthwaite or Martinez at left back like Pep does with Gvardiol. Don't see that happening though.Ye but then we’d have 2 left footers playing.

It will be one of Branthwaite, todibo or yoro. Multiple targets for the same position as has been out way for past few years. Once we land one. We will be moving onto another position.Branthwaite won't be coming here to sit on the bench though so it's inevitable that him and Martinez would play together.

We definitely want two centre backs. Though we will most likely have to settle for one. It's far from good enough.It will be one of Branthwaite, todibo or yoro. Multiple targets for the same position as has been out way for past few years. Once we land one. We will be moving onto another position.
Will be same for central midfield. We land one and we will move onto landing a striker. There won't be multiple centre miss coming in
The ETH situation is definitely dragging. Can’t really say the transfers are moving slow though as the windows not opened yet.What big transfers have been complete by big clubs thus far?

It's reality though. Also until they decide what to do with ETH, we aren't going to be making any decisions in the market.We definitely want two centre backs. Though we will most likely have to settle for one. It's far from good enough.
5 or 6 is absolutely essential.It's reality though. Also until they decide what to do with ETH, we aren't going to be making any decisions in the market.
Preseason is 5 weeks away. We will struggle to get the 3 in that we think we are getting (striker - centre mid - centre back). Nevermind the 5-6 signings that most want.
Just don't see it this summer, for many reasons.
Striker isn't even that important to us now compared to defence and midfield.It's reality though. Also until they decide what to do with ETH, we aren't going to be making any decisions in the market.

We have one senior centre forward who is 21 years old. It's as much if not more of a priority.Striker isn't even that important to us now compared to defence and midfield.
We definitely need another ST to help the load up front. But I’d say midfielder and defence should be first… it would help if we had a lot of goals from our wide players. But we don’t even have that.We have one senor centre forward who is 21 years old. It's as much if not more of a priority.
But strikers are not as important as defence or midfield, you can play without one. All we need is a youth player or Rashford to fill in.We have one senor centre forward who is 21 years old. It's as much if not more of a priority.

We will definitely be replacing Martial and Varane. If Casemiro leaves he will be replaced. If Amrabat isn't signed I presume they will sign a replacement for him.We desperately need another striker. You don’t win games if you don’t score goals.
With Martial gone, we have to bring in somebody else or an injury to Hojlund means we’re playing McTominay up top.

Top teams don't rely on single moments of brilliance and the price of strikers compared to other positions has been dropping.Strikers are the most important players. Why do you think they cost the most money? A top striker can turn a shit performance into a win with a single moment of brilliance.
Strikers win you games. Defence wins you titles. Didn’t that come from the boss.Strikers are the most important players. Why do you think they cost the most money? A top striker can turn a shit performance into a win with a single moment of brilliance.

It's the same story year after year.What big transfers have been complete by big clubs thus far?

I’m not saying it isn’t as important. We’ve lost Varane, so need to replace him, Casemiro will need replacing. We seen how important Casemiro was when he came in, he transformed the team. First season we had Martial upfront who’s hardly a world class goalscorer but we performed much better as a team and Rashford did carry us last season. Guardiola won the league without a ST. If you have a system in place and the team can carry out their roles then you should be getting goals from midfield and your wide players without having to just rely on the ST.Yes he said that when he had an abundance of world class forwards at his disposal that scored for fun.
We have literally no one in our attack that has scored 20+ goals in a season except Rashford. Do you really want to be relying on him?
Bringing in a goalscorer is just as important this summer.

Slower and more clumsy.
True. But usually top teams are built from a strong defence. Vidic-Ferdinand.But he did win his last title because he bought in Robin van Persie. The striker won him the title, the defense didnt win him a title the year before.
