I don’t mind McTominay like. Think he’d be a good fit alongside Bruno & Joelinton.


Not sure on that. His run around/ in your face style is similar ish to Joelinton and neither offer too much in possession.

He was never prolific until he signed for Blackburn. Remember seeing a clip a few years ago from when he first signed for Blackburn and he even said himself.

 

 

 

Got 14 goals in 48 appearances and 21 goals in 60 during his last two Southampton seasons. The three preceding seasons, he got 8 goals in 50 in total.

Could work good in our high pressing game? Joelinton from the left of the three, McTominay from the right, Bruno in the middle.

Potentially, I’d prefer to sign a proper DM and have Bruno with license to get forward if we’re playing 433. Don’t think McSauce is good enough to play as a DM as one (or really a two if Bruno was alongside).
 

Decent enough player though. Not Man Utd aspiration level but certainly decent PL. Leeds could do worse as a replacer for Philips.

Rangnick's literal thing is long-term thinking though, and you guys went all "let's hire him on a temp deal" :lol: 

 

 

 

 

Well the original plan was for him to stick around and advise long term. :lol:

Do agree that we need a DM like. Think all the CMs we have bring different qualities but that’s the one element we lack.

McTominay wouldn't be an awful signing. Especially as we do lack depth in the middle (defensively) now with Hayden gone and Hendrick on his way.

 

As long as the price isn't ridiculous, I'd have him.

Not seen him play but you’d imagine he’d be similar to an Ekitike in that he may not be ready to start games but will be in and around the first team picture (depending on injuries and form). More or less playing first team for Salzburg, which is a good sign.

I like this idea we have of buying the best upcoming 18/19/20yr olds from around Europe. Will reap the rewards of these sort of signings in 2/3yrs time. Especially while our academy gets its act together and we start producing these ourselves.

Have we been linked with any out of contract players this summer? I mean other than Lingard. There's only a few days left before they become officially available so you would think there might be some opportunities there.

Would he be one to develop or first-team squad ready?

He'd probably be eased into the side over a season depending on how well he would take to the PL/our style. CM/AM who tore apart the Austrian league last season, meant to be highly rated by alot of top clubs and has been linked to Liverpool.

Never heard of him but wouldn’t be averse to a mobile, ultra technical, snide cunt in the middle (wild stereotyping ahoy). 
 

Guessing RB Leeds are sniffing about.

There's a real production line of Balkan heritage midfielders who've been brought up in central European countries. Ultra technical, tactically astute, can play anywhere across midfield and can handle themselves. Kovacic, Rakitic, Pjanic etc. If he's anything like that lot then he needs signing up.

Could finally be us signing Modric 2.0, 15 years after we fucked up doing it with Version 1.
