I haven't seen alot of him but if he can play the role currently occupied by Matic to a good level (I think he could) then I feel he would be very good for us.
But I wouldn't have McTominay in the 3 because I don't think he's good enough tbh. I would hope Gomes and Garner could step up next season and hopefully get minutes ahead of McTominay who imo is limited as a CM.
I'd like to see a 3 of Pogba, Rabiot, Berge..
With Gomes, Garner and possibly Fosu Mensah as an additional option as a high energy destroyer in reserve ready to come in if/when required.
Sorry for the late reply.
I think the big Norwegian would be perfect paired with McTominay should Pogba stay. We need high energy, mobile players who can pass the ball around Pogba and they both fit the bill while also showing good technique. What’s so impressive about Berge is despite his physicality he is also quite nimble and very good with the ball at his feet.
I really think you’re underrating McTominay a fair bit. I think he could be every bit as good or better than Rabiot for us. And we really don’t need another primadonna in the side. Also think that’s a big ask for Gomes and Garner although I think they’ll have significant squad roles to play.
If we were to sign Bruno and Berge...
———Bruno
Pogba——McTom
———Berge
Looks well balanced and extremely threatening to me. Would also give us the flexibility to play different formations and rotate with the young lads and Pereira who I think could kick on a bit next season finally.
That said, Rice could also fill this role. But I have reservations about his technique and passing ability. I could be proved well wrong and would hope to be if we sign him though.
