That will be great for them.I cannot embed but there are rumours of Chelsea enquiring about Giroud

Getting two is mistake. Ideally we get RB and/ a LB. Then two midfielders and 1 attacker. Thats 5 players.We already have Sanchez to play at the number 10 / right wing position. I think we will just sign a mid in the summer and may be a young attacker and that's it. Mata , Fellaini , Blind and Darmian will probably leave. Still we have Matic, Pogba,Herrera,New signing and Pereira for the mid position.
And in the attack we will have Sanchez,Martial,Lingard,Lukaku,Rashford and Mata/new signing.
Can't see us signing more than two for sure !!
You gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers.Won't stop me refreshing the transfer tweets page every 10 mins.
So nice to see you have zero faith in our young players, as Mensah can play at right back, and we have two players for the left back position, why would we need another, Young is good for another season, unless there is an outstanding player that comes into our lap, then we really don't need another left back.Getting two is mistake. Ideally we get RB and/ a LB. Then two midfielders and 1 attacker. Thats 5 players.
With Blind, Darmian, Carrick, Fellaini, Zlatan most likely leaving the club we need numbers as much a quality.
I think Jose is pretty wedded to the 4-2-3-1 and he'll play it more often than not. In the big games it might be a 4-3-3 and that is where the winger would come in for the balance of left and right footed attackers. It's all about options in attack and flexibility.Why do we need a 10 and a winger with Sanchez already here.
How would your hypothetical new team line up?
I expect Jose to go 433 and for us to see something like...
DDG
Valencia Bailly Jones/Lindelof Shaw
Matic
New CM Pogba
Sanchez Lukaku Martial
We'd then have
Romero / J.Pereira
Young
Lindelof/Jones
Smalling
Pereira
Young DM
Lingard
Herrera
Rashford
Mata
New Winger
All on the bench. That's with only 3 signings and 2 of those being ready to start.
So what would your 11 be for big games and I'm guessing a tweaked 11 for normal games so lay that one out for me aswell please.I think Jose is pretty wedded to the 4-2-3-1 and he'll play it more often than not. In the big games it might be a 4-3-3 and that is where the winger would come in for the balance of left and right footed attackers. It's all about options in attack and flexibility.
A 10 is needed because right now, the only creative outlet in our team is Pogba. We've all seen what happens to us when he's unavailable or off-colour. We're simply half the team we could be. The ideal for this role would be Dybala, but Ozil is equally as good an option. I'd sell Mata to make space for the 10 and he would nominally take Mata's current role from the right in a 4-3-3 and take the 10 role in the 4-2-3-1.
The winger would probably be a squad option in the form of a youngster with promise who won't mind being on the bench and picking up experience while refining his game eg. Malcom or maybe even Pulisic. By the time the player is ready, Sanchez will be on the wind down and he can effectively replace him without us skipping a beat.
Do you like the look of Aurier? Looks mediocre at best to me. Lucas has been a disappointment at PSG too.I think it could easily prove to be astute scouting and business over the next season or 2. The players aren’t very expensive and have big reputations, CL experience and are still young so they could be sold on again for a lot more if they improve...
That's exactly what he will mean. Once the World Cup starts the market almost grinds to a halt.I assume he means we will buy early, avoiding the post world cup rush.
I think we will go for a young cm, like that Seri kid and a more established midfielder, probably ozil.We need a great deep-lying playmaker/B2B and a right winger. Pereira, TFM and Tuanzebe will fill in the other holes once we get rid of all deadwood (Carrick, Ibra, Darmian, Blind, Mata, Herrera, Fellaini)
Not exactly a hard thing to predict.Last time someone posted their tweet, they were saying Sanchez will be in the team sheet for the Yeovil game.
Agree I think Jose will look to move on Darmain Mata Herrera Blind think Fellaini will rightly sign a new deal (he’s earned it for me). I wasn’t a big Herrra fan when he was getting the plaudits I thought his performances were over stated with a few very good ones. He’s a good player but the difference in him and Matic or Pogba in quality is stark and I’ve not forgotten a right few posters that were giving me it really tight for saying I’d rather have Matic any day in my team.We already have Sanchez to play at the number 10 / right wing position. I think we will just sign a mid in the summer and may be a young attacker and that's it. Mata , Fellaini , Blind and Darmian will probably leave. Still we have Matic, Pogba,Herrera,New signing and Pereira for the mid position.

Really? I had this feeling he is a youngster with potential.That Seri kid will be 27 this summmer.
Oh how the mighty cnut has fallen There was a time when he was a top dog chairman, especially when it came to transfers.Tweet

Really ? I knew he's been around a while, but he always had that Ander Herrera-esque baby face thing going for him.That Seri kid will be 27 this summmer.
Perfect ageThat Seri kid will be 27 this summmer.
Aurier isn’t finished improving yet.Do you like the look of Aurier? Looks mediocre at best to me. Lucas has been a disappointment at PSG too.

But during a world cup there are always undiscovered jewels that are uncovered. Perhaps an option should be left open to buy a player (at least), post-WC.That's exactly what he will mean. Once the World Cup starts the market almost grinds to a halt.
From what I have seen so far, to me, he is far too lightweight for the first team.So nice to see you have zero faith in our young players, as Mensah can play at right back, and we have two players for the left back position, why would we need another, Young is good for another season, unless there is an outstanding player that comes into our lap, then we really don't need another left back.
Do you not wish to see more from McTominay? As if your wish to sign two new midfielders happens, then that will reduce his game time chances, and he doesn't really deserve that.
He has looked good for us whenever he has played, so I would love to see more from him, and I have faith in him continuing to improve and develop further if given that chance to do so.
So sure sign another one for added depth reasons, but two is pushing things a bit far.
One more attacker when we have Martial/Rashford/Sanchez and Lukaku, that can play up front, just why would we need another one there? How many games realistically could or would a new striker play with those players already at the club??
As exciting as signing a new striker always is, especially if they are on Sanchez's level, we are stocked up currently there, so signing another one just seems rather pointless.
So signing five players just seems very much uncalled for and unnecessary.
Lightweight is definitely not an accusation you can level at him. Not creative enough maybe, but he's a big lad that's strong so I don't know where you're getting lightweight ftomFrom what I have seen so far, to me, he is far too lightweight for the first team.
Why are they deadwood oh FM guru?We need a great deep-lying playmaker/B2B and a right winger. Pereira, TFM and Tuanzebe will fill in the other holes once we get rid of all deadwood (Carrick, Ibra, Darmian, Blind, Mata, Herrera, Fellaini)
You need glassesFrom what I have seen so far, to me, he is far too lightweight for the first team.
Considering he is going to spurs, means he won't be costing much. We should have gone for him considering he gives a totally different option of an out-an-out winger on the right.Tweet

I think he's quite a good player. His decision making is letting him down and I think that has stalled his progress at PSG, but Pochettino seems to be relatively adept at developing that side of a player's game. Could be a good signing for them.Considering he is going to spurs, means he won't be costing much. We should have gone for him considering he gives a totally different option of an out-an-out winger on the right.
All players we have for that position drift inside.. we might have missed a trick here.
Lets see how he does at spurs [if he signs of course]I think he's quite a good player. His decision making is letting him down and I think that has stalled his progress at PSG, but Pochettino seems to be relatively adept at developing that side of a player's game. Could be a good signing for them.
I'm sure I'll get grief for this, but we should have gone for him. He'll be cheap and would play wing, allowing Alexis to play #10. He'll be good for Spurs.Tweet

We just signed Sanchez. If we are going to sign a RW he might as well be a good one rather than adding average players we have worked to remove from the squad.Considering he is going to spurs, means he won't be costing much. We should have gone for him considering he gives a totally different option of an out-an-out winger on the right.
