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.
You gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers.
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.
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.
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.
There is also a tweet earlier in this thread suggesting Mourinho is looking for a cm to free Pogba up with leads to him favouring the 433
Do you like the look of Aurier? Looks mediocre at best to me. Lucas has been a disappointment at PSG too.
That's exactly what he will mean. Once the World Cup starts the market almost grinds to a halt.
I think we will go for a young cm, like that Seri kid and a more established midfielder, probably ozil.
Carrick and Ibra are definitely gone, Fellaini - most probably, Blind and Darmian - maybe. I don't think we are going to sell both Mata and Herrera, as they both seem to accept the squad role.
That Seri kid will be 27 this summmer.
Not exactly a hard thing to predict.
Two players I reckon
A top class CM and a right back.
I think Fellaini will end up staying and Herrera may go. I'd expect blind to go too. With Carrick and Ibra to retire.
Often the biggest growth of a team is when they are strong and don't make too many changes.
Think united in the summers of 2002 (Rio) and 2006 (Carrick)

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.
Oh how the mighty cnut has fallen
There was a time when he was a top dog chairman, especially when it came to transfers.Really ? I knew he's been around a while, but he always had that Ander Herrera-esque baby face thing going for him.
Perfect age
Aurier isn’t finished improving yet.
Moura needs more games. He’s been effective when he’s played.
Clearly enough you can see PSG and Spurs have made lots of good signings over the last few years. Mostly young players with big potential. It’s just while PSG can’t play everyone they seem to be scouting the right profile of player.
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.
From what I have seen so far, to me, he is far too lightweight for the first team.
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 ftom
McTominay, lightweight? What?
Why are they deadwood oh FM guru?
You need glasses
Just in time to play against us?
Forgot this guy existed.
Tim Cahill is football's answer to Mummrah, the Ever-living.
In 2073, he'll be playing in the Indonesian league, doing his stupid boxing-the-corner-flag routine.

As much of a PR stunt this is, would love to see him back at the den.
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.
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.
Lets see how he does at spurs [if he signs of course]
I had similar views regarding Aurier, but he ain't that good.
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.
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.
Moura has been completely frozen out this season, his minutes all season in Ligue 1 haven't even reached 90.
You can't just bring a player who lacks match rhythm in the middle of the season and have any sort of expectations of how he's going to perform. It's simply a risk we can't take right now.
