Would mean that 1 of our midfielders in the 25 man squad is away in the summer, unsure on who if we do go for him. Kamara, Bruno and Joelinton on his current form is some midfield. Kamara and Bruno both rank in the FBRef 90-95 percentiles for passing in the top 5 leagues.

I think we still suffer from the past 14 years where having multiple players who can do a job in one position seems like madness but all top sides have great players on the bench.

Jamie Reuben liked a reply to it saying "Why are we still going for Kamara ???" so I'm not sure about that one. 

 

Aye, saw that. :lol: Shame tbh. Longstaff shouldn't be near the squad next season and should be moved on imo and Shelvey shouldn't be starting.

I'd walk away from any fee above £25 million at the very max with a load of clauses on top to bump up the fee in the event he turned it around; we have to consider that he is currently about 6th choice to start at Man U. As a player he is on par with Delli Alli, they are of a similar age, as someone who has completely lost their way and possibly never going to reach their potential.

 

 

 

Hes definitely not on par with Alli, like :lol:

 

He's came off the back of two good seasons in a row getting 20+ goals in both of them. 

 

Pour this season no doubt, but you could count on one hand the number of Man United players who haven't been.

He scored 11 Premier League goals last season. Decent return but nothing amazing. His only good return in the Premier League was the season before when he scored 17.

 

He's on par with Alli as they've both lost their way. Granted Alli is further down that path but Rashford has been a regular now since 2016/17. Apart 2019/20 season he hasn't really pushed on at all since he came on the scene.

 

I'm not saying he's a terrible player, just an average player when you look at his stats in the

Premier League and who he plays for.

Still linked with Seko Fofana aren’t we? Can definitely see us signing a specialised DM to allow Bruno to maraud up and down the pitch. 

 

I read today that he is signing a new contract with Leicester.

I know we're probably a fair amount of time away from this (hopefully not for Europa...) but we will surely struggle to have 4x homegrown players for European competitions? I think you need 4 to have been trained at your club before 21, don't you?

 

Have to get Harper to come out of retirement or something. Hopefully Anderson and White are decent enough for a squad place too.

You don't have to, you just can't register 25 without 4 of them being club trained. So if you only have 3, you can only register 24, all the way down to 21 players if you don't have any.

Ugh. Kamara on a free (?) would be an absolute no brainer. He’s a fantastic cdm.

Cheers, didn't realise there was more than one tbf.

No probs at all. Seko is a DM who used to be owned by Man City. Wesley is more a CB who can play in DM I think. 

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seko_Fofana
 

he’s been linked with us a fair bit:

When people say "X player must leave", I'd suggest doing your own 25 man squad in your head, especially when talking about Longstaff or Lascelles. I see us signing Targett + 6 at the absolute maximum. We can't afford to throw away serviceable squad players.

 

I understand the desire to assume we will just let 10 go and sign 10 new players but a) that's not going to happen and b) we shouldn't want it to happen.

 

Wholesale squad changes rarely work and Eddie has spent the last 5 months trying to get the group to believe in his philosophy.

 

We are much better off signing 4 really good players like Bruno and Tripper were, and then adding a couple of decent youngsters to compete for places.

As much as I want most gone, it’s just not that realistic for many of the reasons you pointed out.
