Maybe, but i'm not talking about names to fill the squad. Names, we have plenty. It's a midfield designed to move the ball quickly in transition and support the way Rashford and Bruno like to play. Which isn't bad per se, but it leaves very little room for manoeuvring. Even Amrabat's eye for a long pass seems to be added with a mind to progress the ball by bypassing the press. He's not the most positionally disciplined midfielder in the world, from what i read, either. Good luck pairing him with Bruno. I certainly wouldn't like to be the midfielder between them in the midfield, but i hope i'm wrong.To me, it rather looks like putting our eggs in ten baskets. If we sold everybody bar bruno and Case, and bough De Jong for 200m, it would be putting them in one. Now we have many different options, if not one obvious.
Casemiro
Bruno Mount
Casemiro Amrabat
Bruno
Amrabat Eriksen
Bruno
Amrabat
Bruno Mount
McTominay Amrabat
Bruno
With injuries/resting players:
Mainoo
VdBeek Mount
Gore Amrabat
Van de Beek
Casemiro McTominay
Van de Beek
Amrabat Mejbri
Mount
etc etc
We have maybe three midfielders too many, but at least a lot of different options that could gel differently and solve different tactical problems
