Not a massive fan of McTominay. That's not to say he's a bad player, he just wouldn't be your Bruno esq signing.

 

I suspect the reason we might be targeting the likes of him and Tierney is something to do with homegrown quotas? Or have I got that wrong and it doesn't work like that.

 

Also, if we do sign him, it will be a decent deal. We won't over pay (I know value is a subjective thing).

 

I'm certainly not worried. Our transfer team have nailed it so far.

We overpaid for Gordon tbh so wouldn’t rule out us overpaying for Mctominay.

Im usual positive  for any transfer, but not this one. Serious question is he any better than Longstaff? If so what? I know Longstaff has more minutes this season but hes been superior to Mc this season.

With Gordon, you can at least argue that you're investing in potential.

Absolutely, I wasn’t a big fan of the signing but yeah there is definitely potential. Still think at 45 million we overpaid though.

McTominay’s ill disciplined and a walking red card, move over Nicky Butt and Alan Smith we’ve got our next manc reject. Give me North Shields finest any day ahead of this useless twat.

 

If Tierney and McTominay are really the top targets the blue print for transfers appears to have changed. Give Nickson back full control if this is Ashworth and Howe working in tandem.

 

Lets hope Ashworth was behind Brightons signings and not the chief scout who went to Chelsea. Paying over the top transfer fees for Top 4 rejects is not the way to topple them in the short or long term.

To reach the “next level” we need to sign players with proper technical ability to  to progress even further. Scott doesn’t have this. We need players that are transformative and add top quality. It’s obviously not only about technical ability, but in CM i think it’s vital whether you are a DM or a more attacking one. Look what a player like Bruno can do because of his ability as well as being so press resistant. 
 

Get real quality in and keep the current starting players as squad players if the new ones are on a different level. It doesn’t have to be proven big names. But there’s tons of young good quality players out there with the added bonus of having massive potential. 
 

Just an example, but someone like say Ugarte for £40-50m is a much much better investment than Mctominay for £20m or whatever. Probably even more. He’s a limited player even if Howe could get him to perform better than he is now.  Can’t make wine out of water.

He wasn’t as bad in the Bundesliga as he was with us playing in the wrong position in a new league with the pressure of the #9 shirt in a shit team.

He has zero career red cards.

He was good under Rafa despite not scoring. Howe did the world for him after Bruce. 

 

But you're admitting here that he's improved Almiron and Joelinton, no reason why he couldn't do the same with McTominay. I mean, don't get me wrong the thought of getting McTominay isn't an exciting one, but Howe is more than capable of getting a tune out of him.

I’ve already said that I think Howe could make him better than he has shown. It’s not the damn point :lol: Imagine how good a player can become under Howe if X player isn’t as  limited and has much more talent.

But wouldn't you rather turn an already good player to an amazing player rather than shite to decent?
