Who next ?

hopefully we'll get maguire and fernandes

i wouldnt mind Dani Olmo, looks a talented player who plays right wing

If Lukaku goes, which I’d now say is odds-on to happen, our priorities need to be a striker and, still, a centreback.

I’m wondering if Ole really will give the youngsters a chance to prove themselves in midfield and in the attacking roles this season.

I wouldn’t be gutted about us failing to add in midfield or on the wings if it meant some of Greenwood, Gomes, Chong, McT, Pereira, James and Garner being given proper runs in the side (rather than the odd sub appearance here and there).

We aren’t going to challenge for the title this season whatever kind of business we do, so why not look to build for the future?

Cant see you getting anyone else unless you agree a deal for Maguire
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Why?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Because you seem to have pulled back on longstaff and fernandes only seemed to be thought of as a pogba replacement, but it looks like hes staying

Maybe you'll sign another midfielder but I doubt it - dont think ole is going to panic buy if his targets are unavailable
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Even the maguire stuff has been mostly press talk though... Even with Rodgers comments

So much is dependent on Pogbas and lukakus situation really... We'll sign a replacement for either/both

We probably needed a midfielder regardless of pogba tbh

I'd rather stick with Greenwood than buy another striker. Also Sanchez is going nowhere. He can also play up top or that false 9 role for us which would work in this more fluid high press system.

Sanchez hasn't worked in any sort of role for us... And is unlikely to either

He's a waste of a squad place

Sadly he is likely to stay

Don’t know if I’m deluding myself but I still live in hope for Sanchez he was as good as anyone in the prem when he joined us but the whole club was poison with Jose so maybe just maybe with a new season fresh start better atmosphere etc

He wasn't though... He'd been just as poor for arsenal in the first half of the season but people made excuses as he wanted out

He's been shiiite for 2 seasons, has no pace anymore... Will have no preseason

We did all this new season new approach new position nonsense with Rooney for his last few years at United... And he was never as bad as what Sanchez has been for us

Oh yeah I agree you need a midfielder anyway

We need to sell first

If Tuanzebe makes the squad, then we don’t need one of our other CBs, so for me, one of Jones or Rojo (preferably the latter) goes either permanently, or if we can’t shift him, on loan. Both will have to go if we buy another CB.

If Darmian goes, that frees up one spot, but we also have to register Rashford this season for the first time.

We really will have to shift a CM if we want to buy a CM.
