Bit bossy but OK, whatever you say!

He already did, on the first day of preseason training.
 
Hoping to see plenty of Chong, Garner, Gomes and Greenwood.
 
Where's Fred?

Edit: nvm family reasons. also completely didn't notice darmian's absence
 
A lot of names there that I'd hoped to never see play for us again.
 
Sanchez due a break after COPA and so little used to go on tour if he’s only going to be there few days?

Where’s Fred?
 
Our midfield options are seriously sh*te.

Remove Pogba from that set and it wouldn’t even be in the top 10 midfields in the league.
 
Midfield is severely lacking. Pogba, Matic, McTominay, Pereira, Gomes and Garner are the only actual centre midfielders there. There's still Fred and potentially Longstaff but it's just not enough quality at the moment.
 
A squad that doesn't give me any boost of confidence entering next season.
 
Also injured isn't he ?


Yes reported as so, perhaps a bit too convenient to avoid the pre-season tour?

Really worried about Sanchez now, and his impact (or lack of it) next season. Apart from seemingly continually getting injured, every few weeks, Sanchez still has to produce any real form for us (although reportedly he had some good games for Chile, but perhaps because the whole Chilean team is built around him?) There do not seem to be any (reported bidders) interest in him from other club, his salary will reduce marginally this year because we are not in the CL, but that is like everyone else; however he is still massively overpaid for what he does and every other player at the club knows it, hence that 'pi**ed off' feeling will still abound in the dressing room.

'Gardening leave' taken far away in Chile might be our best bet, at least the lack of the sight of him will prevent likeness to a red rag to a bull?
 
Not to turn this into a moaning session but wow the squad on paper looks dreadful. How have we spent hundreds of millions and ended up with that lot?

So much for getting most of our business done before the tour as well. Useless.
 
It's probably just paper talk but if pogba refuses to go on tour we should just fine him a weeks wage every week until September, make a bit of money out of it
 
£800m spent and look at that squad. Someone should be going to jail.
 
feck me. Looking at that squad, we really haven’t had a truly successful outfield signing since... Van Persie? Even he petered off. Woeful transfer business.
 
Even with Pogba in, that midfield looks terrible. We really need some quality aditions.
 
Where is Dean Henderson?
Even if he goes back on loan he should still go for the experience and bond with the players and make a lot more sense than taking Joel who struggled on loan.
What is the point in taking Rojo and Darmian..should have taken Laird and O Connor as at least they have a chance of a future at our club.
