I think its essential we make plenty of changes this summer and go for players who are great technically and not just speed merchants and athletes, thus going for players like AWB, Gueye, Rice should be avoided. Seeing us struggle to keep the ball, while the likes of Westham, Wolves and Watford dominate us, and have players who are technically far superior to plenty of our players is frankly shocking and again points to the dross we have acquired during the years.
Currently our biggest issue i see is technically inept footballers who are poor at keeping the ball unforced and when pressed hoofs it away. From defenders literally all of them (Smalling, Jones, Rojo, Bailly, Young) are guilty of this, only Lindelof and Shaw seems to have an ounce or ability, or try to even bring the ball down to look for an option.
In midfield, this is i think is our strongest part, with the likes of Herrera and Pogba, who are good at keeping it, therefore in Herrera we will be losing an important player, who is good at keeping the ball. Similarly, Fred and Mctominay recently have shown they have fight, but we still need an elite midfielder who can control the tempo and allow pogba to play high up the field.
Attack is our 2nd biggest weakness with the likes of Mata, Lingard, Sanchez and Lukaku are done and pointless players and should he let off this summer. In addition to above, we can afford only one of Martial and Rashford in the lineup, this is the only thing i think mourinho got it right because they both are confidence players and lack consistency. You can't have 2 of your 3 attacking players giving the ball away needlessly every now and then. You could have Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets behijd them, but when they will keep losing it, and eventually it will result in quick turnover of posseesion time and again which will mean players will have to run their ass off every two minutes to chase the ball.
Summer incomings (total 310m)
Sancho 100m
Saul 80m
Felix 80m
Anderwerald 25m
Meunier 25m
Summer outgoings (total 110m)
Lukaku 50m
Sanchez 15m
Jones 15m
Bailly 15m
Darmian 5m
Rojo 10m
This takes our net spend to 200m and not only our side will be press resistant, furthermore we can go toe to toe with any side and keep possession and will actually be exciting to watch.
