i don't think we can consider Shaw as the primary back-up to Licha as LCB, as I think the jury is still out on Malacia. He will be coming back from a major injury and he wasn't entirely convincing in some of his displays in his first season. We...

While I like Lukeaba, I don't think we can afford to wait a year for a LCB given Martinez's injury record. We see how the team loses a lot without his line breaking ability. Keeping Maguire as backup doesn't make sense given his age and deal...

If you look at his Fbref profile, he's basically a taller version of Martinez. I really hope we go after him if we are looking for a like for like replacement for Martinez. As good as Branthwaite and cheaper.

With those 4, rather we get a replacement RB to compete with Dalot and sell AWB. Martinez can shift to LB when Shaw is out and Branthwaite comes in at LCB. I don't think we can carry AWB anymore if we want to really improve team and he doesn't...

Branthwaite or Lukeba would be the ideal LCB options but may come at a higher price that may not fit within our budget. In fact, if we had foresight and better recruitment, we should have sold Lindelof or really forced Maguire out last summer and...

Are you higher on Diomande than Yoro? I like Diomande as well, he has higher upside than Todibo, even though not as experienced. I agree, it does seem odd that we've not been linked to him at all and allowing Chelsea and Arsenal a free run at...

I know. It looks like Madrid has the Yoro signing all sealed up. Quite irritating how they are able to get these generational talents like Camavinga and Yoro. I’m just hoping that with the funds involved in the Mbappe transfer, they push out...

I like your list although I would have Todibo ahead of Branthwaite and Tapsoba, unless Branthwaite and Tapsoba are your LCB options? Yoro is amazing but I don't think we can bring him in as a starting RCB. He's still very inexperienced and needs...

The CAF has got it wrong with lots of players and I think the posters who can't see the class player he is, are in that box. People were all over Lavia yet Onana is a better version of the player Lavia could be. Onana hasn't scratched the ceiling...

Again it depends on the price. I don't think we can afford to spend 60/70m on a player who is not going to be a day 1 starter given our needs and budgetary constraints this summer. There are other LCB's that would be cheaper, also young and have...

Agreed. We don't know how Branthwaite will adapt playing at a bigger club. The requirements of a CB at United are bigger than what he would've experienced at Everton. Whilst he has the potential to take Martinez's place as a starter, I don't see...

I don't think we can afford to be spending 60-65m on a rotation option. At that price, it means he must start from day 1. It might make sense to purchase a cheaper two-footed player or someone like Lucumi from Bologna, who is a LCB and has the...

I agree. He has the right profile as an athletic DM, which we need in our squad. I wouldn't be against bringing him as a developmental prospect but think he's more raw than Gourna Douth and could do with a year longer at Antwerp.

I don't think a Mainoo-Neves midfield pair are complementary. I think that backfield lacks power and there is a lot of overlap of skills. Although a specialist DM behind them could do a lot of heavy lifting, I don't know if it is ideal to build a...

If Onana is bought to play as an 8, and you would rather have Varela as the deepest midfielder, what would you do with Mainoo? Surely the long term strategy should be to have Onana as the 6, whilst having Mainoo as the first receiver?
