Fellaini staying really was a sickener for me. Would Kovacic want to leave the bench of Madrid for our bench anyway? I havent been overly impressed with Kovacic even though can see he is talented, as a back up I do think Perreira deserves the season to prove himself at the club and I guess we can say the same for McTominay who although I dont particularly rate, he did do well in the games he played. When you add Herrera and (meh) Fellaini plus lets not forget Lingard can also play in a three man midfield if needed, we are well stocked there numbers wise and with the first choices being good quality too. I am with you I would personally have rather sold Fellaini and even possibly Herrera for two cm signings, but the stage of the window we are in and the state of our squad, other areas are of more vital importance now
Yeah agree completely.
I did also like the look of McTom, if he can push on again be a big plus. Periera also needs some game time, if Periera isn't around the squad this season then that's him done here.
But your right, we have a solid 3 and 2 experienced back ups and 2 youngsters, with Lingard also.
Other areas - like RW especially should take priority.
I'd love to see us get some out-goings done before the season starts, in CB particular. Rojo/Jones and/or Smalling perhaps? Darmian looks set to leave also.
Martial saga is looming, some quick action there would be great. If he's going, get it done and get Bale in. Job done
