Froggy Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 2 minutes ago, LV said: He wouldn’t be my choice by a country mile but if all 3 agree then he must have something. He's a decent player, he's homegrown, he's a replacement for Shelvey and he's arguably better than Longstaff. He would also only cost £15-20m. That's what he brings to the table. It's a depth signing at worst. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) No excuse for this after we’ve unearthed Botman, Bruno and Isak. Who would have been the British equivalent and what would they have cost even if they were about. ‘Howe, who has admitted it has left him short in that department, always prefers to sign players he has watched extensively and tends to prioritise players with experience of playing in British football’.

thomas Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) If the reports are true about him wanting away because of lack of gametime, I doubt he sees himself as a depth signing. If he's not a sizeable upgrade on Longstaff - and he isn't - we shouldn't be pursuing. Edited March 20, 2023 by thomas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 McTominay is no better than Longstaff. Absolutely no logic in this signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Seems like this is going to happen mind, too many corroborated media reports from the press at both clubs. I would expect this deal gets done very early in the summer. Hopefully for nothing more than £20m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him honestly, but he's not going to get many minutes in a midfield of Casemiro, Eriksen and Bruno. It makes sense to sell. Your midfield isn't anywhere near that quality yet with the exception of shit Bruno, so I think he has value to you for another year or two and that £15-20m is a good price.

I dont' doubt he's better than what we've got. What I doubt is that he's the best we can get. There's the whole world to choose from to buy a midfielder, I really can't see why we would want a player who wasn't good enough for Man U. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I’ve totally understood the McTominay links last summer, even January. Now? Absolutely not. We’ve got a summer window to take a potential big step forward and he’d be an expensive cover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroblack Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 We could do so much better than McTomminay. We have to aim higher. Could probably get a goal scoring starting midfielder from the French or Spanish league for cheaper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
