Sounds like Sancho is wanting out of Man United. No idea how much they'd want for him (£5 a week or something?) but I'd love to see him play in a Howe team.

At Dortmund his best form was always when he had an overlapping FB. Especially Hakimi. It gave Sancho that extra bit of time and space to be more incisive.

I preferred Sancho on the left for Dortmund.

Thought Milenkovic (CB) looked pretty decent for Serbia even against Brazil. He was a bit exposed by the formation at times.

He’s got a very good turn of pace for a 6”5’ bloke.

 

Yep, top pick of mine too, maybe because he's really good on computer games. Could consider as a Schar successor.

Hakimi played both left and right FB for Dortmund.

when Sancho played with Guerreiro on the left he had to do all the defending Guerreiro didn’t want to do.

Aye, he's an amazing defender. 1.95m fighter CB, they call him 'the mountain' in Italy but he's fast and mobile and quite good with his feet too. Also looks a bit like Thomas Shelby.

 

Has been at Fiorentina for five years now and signed a new 5 year deal with no release clauses at the start of the season, guess the guy likes it there.

Some Argentine players I would like to target:

  • Alan Varela - Boca
    • Would fit perfectly into our system in a DM role
  • Ezequiel Fernández - Boca (on loan at Tigre)
    • Mouth watering prospect of having him and Varela at Boca this year.
  • Gianluca Prestianni - Velez
    • Same club as Perrone.
    • This kid is the business. Proper Wonderkid. Just maybe too young
  • Exequiel Zeballos - Boca
    • Recovering from horrific tackle/injury
    • This guy is Messi V2. His dribbling is off the charts. 
    • Going to be breakout year for him. Love him !

Best centre half at World Cup 

 

Josko Gvardiol - 20 year old Croatian defender 

 

Would love him - think he’s at RB Leipzig 

 

Monster Talent - probably valued at £60m now 

 

I’ve also liked the look of 

 

Portugal winger - Rafael Leao

 

23 year old at Ac Milan

huge price tag though ? £75m ??

 


Morocco midfielder 

Sofyan Amrabat 

CDM at Fiorentina

value £20m ?

 

Cody Gakpo -Psv 

lots of clubs looking at him 

Obviously a huge talent 

valuation - £50/£60m ??

 

David Raum 

German left back - RB Leipzig !!!!

£25m

great player , ideal for us

Gvardiol is being talked about as £75-80m starting bidding price.

 

“As The Athletic reported in August, talks broke down because Leipzig changed the asking price. Initial discussions started over a fee worth around €70million (£60.5million), which rose to €80m and finally €90m”.

Edit- rumours of a buy out clause in his  latest contract of £42m, but don’t know how true or realistic that is.

Whoever gets him are laughing for 10+ years for one of their central defensive positions.

 

Imagine him and Botman together- building a partnership up for multiple years

He's left footed too i think. Not that it's impossible to play with 2 lefties at CB.

Yes - left footed but as you mentioned , it could still work 

 

I’ve seen lots of (both) right footed (centre half) partnerships over the years.

 

Either Way , having both in the squad would be incredible

I'm not sure how keen we'll be on players who have seriously raised their profile at the World Cup. Since there seems to be a big focus on value, and World Cup performances seem to inflate prices beyond what players are worth.

The issue with him is slightly more serious. I don't think he is moving to any club any time soon.
