Behind the right goal post as "Whiteside shoots!"
Depends if Koulibaly can defend because lindelof cant and shaw no no, needs replacing for me.
Lindelof is a good ball player thats about it.
Lindelof can defend fine.... I'm not saying he's top class but a lot of our players aren't helped by the team/squad they play in. A decent CH will not only replace Smalling/Jones/whoever (and improve the team) but help Lindelof/the defence and hopefully give the entire team a better platform.

That's the hope anyway.

I'd keep him, I do like him and hope he will come good once the players around him are sorted out. At the moment though for me he's been poor but who hasn't.

Is a back four of De Gea, Wan Bissaka, Koulibaly, Lindelof and Shaw good enough? Serious question.
Love the "no as they cant attack" comments, ffs bar Shaw none of our current defenders can defend forgetting most of them are rubbish on the ball.
Personally see Lindelof as the weak link in that back four. Now DeLigt has really broke through, suddenly people think Koulibaily isnt good enough.....what? He is a quality defender, personally if he is costing anywhere near £100m I would rather be buying two centre backs for not much more of a fee as Lindelof is a squad player for me. Bissaka would be an excellent signings "he cant attack"....rubbish, first off we have had two full backs for 3/4 years that are converted wingers that cant really defend, both did a decent job and were overly slated, until this season but Bissaka should be a priority for me. Upamecano and Romagnoli would be my main targets at the back

It's better than what we've got? I still think we need an upgrade on Shaw. He's a 6/10 left back. We could probably do with an all round better goalkeeper than De Gea as well.
Wow player of the year for the last how many seasons, has a bad month or so and now we need a better all round keeper than arguably the best keeper in the world, absolutely crazy. Can question his form and whether he wants to stay with the contract saga but "an all round better keeper".....wow

You like Shaw?

Lukaku fecking off to inter. Nice one.
Would they pay £50 million? Maybe the club wants ~60

Think the highest they've spent in recent years is £36 million (I excluded Vieri from 1999). We could loan him out with a view to buy or hope someone else fancies him after a good season over there.

Aw boo hoo, some nasty fans tell you you maybe didn't earn your £300,000 this week? Aww, diddums.

Just so you know Paul, you didn't earn the week before's either.
Well he is constantly made a scapegoat, even when the players around him are much worse.

Mane refused us.
VVD didn't even consider us as an option.
Frimino, Fabinino and Clyne we couldn't get over the line.
And all this was before we had Ole and were not as bad as we are now.
:lol:

Considering the options currently and that we might not be able to attract our first choice targets I wouldn't mind this at all. Maybe we could use him as a forward in the 4-4-2 diamond formation we have been using.

Dunno why people moan about Pogba transfer saga, how he came, same way he will leave ( if that is), we had our fun at the time with that Juventus fan forum, fecking Raiola lauded as a hero (vomit) etc.
