Jimenez can put in a transfer request and force a move due to our interest thus decrease his value because which club will keep a player that doesn’t want to be there. The notion that they are just backup is wrong. These players are proven professional or future world class talent that could provide competition for a starting position. It isn’t FM, it is what a competent management team will do with the incredible success of MMM.
Kubo will have more opportunity at United than at Real Madrid if he is our backup to Greeenwood. Better for his career, development and financially. Jimenez could easily be swayed if he is looking for a last big contract. Higher wage doesn’t mean higher price, especially if Jimenez force a move. It would be good business if we don’t overspend as we will have a stronger team that will make us fight for more than just top four trophy. And if Martial get injured, Jimenez is that out and out striker that will give us more tactical flexibility in the attack. Plus, he won’t just sit on bench as we have enough game for him to start a lot.
Stats disagree and it seems a lot of managers and football experts disagree with that notion that they aren’t better than Liverpool and city. MMM is in the top three of attack in football, it is not bigging up as you stated, it is undeniable truth and with a better manager like Pochettino, Klopp, pep, they would be the best.
some fans are getting ahead of themselves like what happened in the champions league. Our record against the top six this season is really bad. I am not going to fall for the same trap that led us out of the champions league and league cup until, I see real improvement in our tactics.
