Looks defensively solid, there's pace and goals in the side. Going from ASM being our only attacking outlet, to then having Trippier, Lingard and Nketiah on the other side would be massive in the way we attack, and how other teams try and contain us, and thats not even considering the impact of having Bruno in the team, and two ball playing CB's.

We are in no position to be taking a gamble on him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree that's why I said earlier today, wait until Monday before we actually know who has come in. Personally, I think Edwards and Bailey are two of the worst out there though.

That’s be mental It's been such an odd window its hard to rule anything out. Some weird extremes, from world class players like Trippier and Guimarães and being in talks with Zapata, Carlos, Botman etc.. to not quite so world class Wood, Burn, Nketiah, Cantwell etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
