We don't need a back up we have Longstaff, Shelvey and Willock as options for that. We need someone to take us to the next level and McTominay is certainly not that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a player that- because he became a bit of a meme for being overrated- is now, funnily enough, slightly underrated. The fact that he’s at least somewhat of an athlete makes him quite a bit of an upgrade over Longstaff imo. I’d be okay with this, so long as it’s a loan; would be decent cover. He’s fucking shit plain and simple, “not that bad box to box” give your head a shake man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I'd rather take Barkley off Chelsea than McTominay, not apperantly after any money for him. Not convinced on Gallagher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) That is a mental take. McTominay would get games in our midfield. Barkley is finished. Edited August 28, 2022 by Menace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect him to stay, for now. He's having a strong beginning of season but not really sure he's all that everyone's saying and writing. But, what do I know. Back in 2011 I remember commenting in the stands of Estádio da Luz that "this Di Maria guy is too thin, he's going nowhere", last year I was commenting "Nuñez was a mistake, he's too weak psychologically", so, there's a slight chance I might be wrong again.

We're going to "need" players for several seasons to get to where we want to be. We all know where our weaknesses lie but it's quite an unrealistic ask to expect them to all be addressed in one window, particularly since our desire seems to be to only bring in players that improves the first 11. Hopefully we do bring in some more (and I think we'll bring in at least one more), but whatever we have come the closure of the window gives us the tools to start the journey towards our targets.

Jack27 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 2 starters in this week would be delightful, Pulisic and a midfielder (Alvarez, Kone, Maddison?) Not sure what happens but I will be glued to Twitter lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
