De Gea, Eriksen, Martial

3 players I think most of us agree would be in our starting XI currently if everyone is fit.

Also, the 3 players that most need replacing in our starting XI if we are to progress as a team imo.

Even if we could get 3 players who are ready to come in and be an upgrade on those it will be a good summers work.

De Gea new contract makes no sense.

So much money he’s on and he’s let the team down too often. Surely could be replaced by a steady keeper on less than 1/3 his salary

I doubt that

What I love about this potential signing is that there is no way rival fans can corrupt or generally make fun of his surname:

I actually thought Eriksen was pretty good in CM with Bruno and Casemiro BEFORE casemiros ban and his injury.

I feel like he was rushed back due to Sabitzer injury and he didn’t look right at the end of the season.

I’ll reserve judgement till I see him next year, he was a free after all

Eriksen should be starting about 20 games, not 40+

If he can provide 20 or so starts where he can play the full 90, it’s a no brainier to keep him

I'm not sure Eriksen is able to play the full 90 minutes of a game now.

Obviously if we manage his minutes better he'd be more likely to last a full game but even during the first half of the season he looked spent after about an hour.

I don't think he should be playing against the top sides, certainly the best sides out of possession.

A bit a like Scholes. He can still be a valuable squad member though, as you say.

I wasn’t ever saying we shouldn’t keep him, I meant he shouldn’t be 1st choice.

Yeah he'd still be useful, especially if we start taking better care in possession.

Eriksen is decent if the other team is parking the bus and we have a lot of the ball.
If we are chasing shadows then the man is a ghost.

Yep. Of the three, he's the one that I think would still be useful in certain circumstances, where we're facing a team who are sitting in. Even his set piece delivery alone can be useful in said circumstances.

The other two? Well, I don't think they should be at the club but that has been the case for some time and yet here we are, with De Gea about to sign a new deal
