Which one of these almost certainly true rumours would you prefer?
Real Madrid and Germany midfielder Toni Kroos, 29, could move to Manchester United as part of a deal taking France midfielder Paul Pogba, 26, to the Spanish club. (Sun)
Meanwhile, Juventus will offer French midfielder Adrien Rabiot, 24, in a player-plus-cash deal for their former midfielder Pogba. (Sun)
I've always loved Kroos and he would bring a touch of class to the midfield and bags of experience.. His age is a bit of an issue though.
Pogba for Cash + Player

... though Pereira and Lingard would be more accurately described as -10’s...
This is exactly my point about Cuuuuunty Woodfack not having even the most basic clue about football strategy.
He’ll wait for the summer, spunk £150m on prising João Felix from Atléti to play at number ten, then sack Ole and appoint Tuchel.
I hate him. Did I mention that?

You hate Tuchel? Or João Felix?

I’d love that, tbh. Tuchel has played with number 10’s anyway. Neymar’s been playing there under him.
That’s one of the reasons I really want Tuchel. He’s flexible with his formations and tactics but the football is still good to watch.

Fair enough.
Bad example then; I thought he was a flat out 4-3-3 merchant. You get my point.

Nah he’s used numerous formations, also switched between a back 3/4/5. He’s the one I really hope takes over from Ole.
I do get the point. Though it’s worth noting that I don’t think there are that many coaches around that strictly stick to a certain formation anyway.
Even Pep adapted his midfield set ups to his players after leaving Barca. It’s not quite the big issue you make it out to be provider the coaches and players are good enough to work things out.

Like Pogba, Lukaku, Shaw, Matic, Smalling, Maguire and Ole those kind of players and coaches?

No, those players and coach aren’t good enough to work things out.

I’d be in heavily for Milinkovic-Savic, Havertz, Zaniolo, Gedson, or someone else of that kind of age and playing profile.

Fabian and Zielinski are two others as well

Could get keita for about £5.50 from Liverpool....especially after winning the biggest flop comp on their board...
