Are you sure that's right? I can walk 9km. in 90 minutes.

Yeah, it's taken from credible sports magazine site that compared his stats with Lewandowski's (in April). Btw the latter's unsurprisingly better with a score of 10.05 km.

I actually think Perišić could be used mostly on the right, with Martial and Rashford fighting for the leftwing.
 
If we had Perisic on one wing and Rashford on the other we'd be doing well to finish sixth next season.
I guess with Mata and Martial we'd be flying for taking the Premier League…

Both Rashford and Perisic can be classified as out and out wingers so both together will make the team looks like what we were when Young and Valencia were playing on both sides some years ago: dreadful.

I'm sure Mikhi will be the RW who will drift inside to the midfield with the LW the one who's considered an out and out.

In 4-3-3, maybe. But I don't think we'll feature that way most of the games, so I'm still seeing Mkhitaryan as #10. Anyway, a 4-3-3 with Mkhitaryan on one side and Perišić on the other would be very cautious in most games, even for Mourinho.

We're going for the 4-3-3 obviously for me, but on paper only, We'll play the new DM and Herrera with Pogba much further on the pitch like somewhat a number 10, with Mikhi drifting to inside the midfield and Perisic being on the flank. It's exactly like how we played in December which was our best period in the season. I'm sure Jose's going to build the team somewhat on this period.

I'll only say we're going for 4-2-3-1 if we sign a player like James but with the set we're signing I see the 4-3-3 coming.

I see your point, but I don't agree at all. Pogba is going to be more and more of an #8, not a #10. I will concede 4-3-3 the most likely when, since Herrera provides no attacking threat whatsoever, we sign someone like Nainggolan.

He won't be a strict number, he's going to be more pushed forward on the pitch than Herrera and the new DM who are going to do all the dirty work leaving him attacking freely. It won't be applied strictly as a DMF then a 2 midfielders on the same line in front of him. Will be with different positioning and different roles for the 3.

Herrera is not that bad in attacking and he provided 11 assists this season, can play very good through balls from deep midfield. His shooting isn't good, though but I don't think it'll be a big problem.
 
We may soon have to change the title to: "Would you be happy with Matic and Lindelof?"

More like "would you be happy if Woodward stopped flying halfway around the world to watch the fecking Lions tour and concentrated on getting players in before the tour starts?". I don't want to buy players for the sake of it but there are loads of benefits to getting them in earlier and excuses like "Chelsea asked us to wait" and "Madrid asked us to wait" are lame.

The tours about money, sponsorship and 'foreign audiences' I know, but it's also about the squad gelling, especially the new players, so they hit the league games in form. The sooner new players are in, the sooner they can settle, the sooner Jose finds out what's good/what needs changing, the sooner the medical staff can get them on United programmes, etc, etc.

Hopefully Morata is sorted in a few days per paper rumours.... get him and a def mid (not Matic) and I'd take that.

Was going to post the same thing myself. With one player signed jose must have been having kittens when he found out woodward had fecked off to new zealand.
 
I'm guessing that Jose wants to have on the wings players more defensively reliable than the Gabon striker cum winger. Aubameyang has very poor defensive stats and does look like he's economizing his running for attacking sequences with average distance covered by him at 9.32km.
Don't worry, Mourinho could turn him into a workhorse winger.

Hope we get Matic, Perisic, and Morata done in the next week or so. It's important for them to have a full pre season with us.
 


To think that these two players might play together next season.

Awkward :lol:
 
City and 'Pool have strengthened to a much greater degree than us already and finished higher last year (while winning feck all in fairness).

We need more goals and speed of play, pretty badly. Signings won't fix that alone, the football needs to be better than it was for parts of last season, but new blood will definitely help.

Lukaku brings the goals...

Who have City and Liverpool signed btw?
