Looks like we are finally cooking!

If there is a chance we have to get him. Fixes our right wing, and gets us a match-winner on his day.

Article says Barcelona would take 50m Euros. Get him and Tchouaméni and we are sorted for years. Big outlay initially, obviously, but huge pay-off possible players with world-class potential.

We need two over the next two windows and in my mind it should be Tchouaméni/Rice and De Jong/Bellingham. Any of these would move. The price would be high but totally worth it to fix this issue for at least the next six seasons. And we still have Garner, Galbraith, and Levitt, and I'm sure at...

That's silly, Fred starts for Brazil. See, the just ended Copa America.

We can play both Matic and Fred with Pogba in a three, then Bruno can float in from the right. Our players playing from the right, Juan, Lingard, Pereira, really play in that half-space and they often have a free role. The wider point is that there is a solution. England played Dele and Lingard...

We hate to see it but Pogba is the natural choice here. He has the aura, the quality and the players see it in him too. It's up to management to cultivate it, and we've seen how it can be when done right, like at the World Cup.

We would certainly have to sell Dean Henderson, maybe insert a buy-back close so we can get him back in five years when he's entering his prime and Oblak gets on. I love Dave, but it's time to move on.

Woody's finally going to create a DisneyLand for wunderkinds. I'm on board if it gets us De Ligt and Sancho. Adult DisneyLand couldn't get us Klopp, mind.

I love Ole, he's a legend and he's done relatively well under the circumstances. But given this experience, that would make him really good as DOF. Get a manager with a better understanding of tactics, like Poch or Tuchel and have Ole support him as DOF. Ole has had a good view of the squad and...

A quote from the new Dimarzio story: He is born playmaker, he can also play outside attack. To the right or left, it makes no difference to him. Goals, assists and remote controlled launches. https://gianlucadimarzio.com/it/chi-e-joao-felix-storia-statistiche-numeri He will certainly add...

Both players were signed to play in our first 11, that's another reason why both of them are in our top 3 highest paid players. The truth is no one right now can see a situation where they can conceivably provide more quality than our current starting options. I would therefore sell both, and...

How about Joao Felix at Benfica? We seem to be linked to him, together with Real and City so he must be good. His YouTube videos are really good, I know you can't tell a lot from them. He's right-footed and plays mostly as a second striker and on the left, but he's young and he could be as good...

I have the same idea. But because Alderweireld would "only" cost 25 million pounds, we should get him as well as De Ligt, and sell all three of Rojo, Jones and Smalling (all injury prone and just not good enough tbh). That way in the unlikely case that De Ligt isn't ready we have Alderweireld as...

Solskjaer or Blanc, methinks.
