We don't need Matic replacement in Ten Hag system. You guys sound like you think our manager is still Jose or Ole. Ten Hag has little use for such player in his system. Which is why he is trying to sign De Jong who is clearly not a DMFThink he’d be excellent, perfect Matic replacement.
The gulf in class and technical ability beteween Fred and De Jong is immense. Fred or Garner in that role and we are in for a struggle to reach top 6.ETH said he would develop from within in an interview, so that means Fred.
He's making positive noises about moulding Fred in an interview with Simon Stone on BBC this morning in Perth. Still looking at his attacking options however.Yeah, this.
ETH mentioned in his interview with Simon Stone the other day that if he can't get FDJ he will "mould another player into that role" (McT, Fred or Garner, I guess)
Matic was good on the ball if he wsd around and younger he could have been coached to play the role.We don't need Matic replacement in Ten Hag system.

Ya, seems that way. Would probably explain the lack of any progress on the De Jong front. He also mentioned today that Fred was doing a good job at connecting the defence to the offence, which is what De Jong is quite good at, so Fred may be used in that role too.Based on ETH's sentiments this week he has confirmed it is Iqbal and / or Savage.
Basically said he will coach a player for the role.

Yeah, he's better on the ball than McTominay, so it makes sense. Ole also used Fred deeper, and despite having a mistake in him, he's better on the ball than McTominay. I also think McTominay is better going forward and is more composed in front of goal, although Fred has scored a few beautiful goals of late. I think ten Hag see's McTominay as more of a Gravenberch type, where he can use his power and stamina to get forward.Tweet

How do you work that one out? McTominay has been playing as a box to box number 8 and despite what most have been saying, he's done a decent job of it during pre season.James Garner is the player most suited to the role followed by Fred. McTominay is done as a starter imo.
What did he say about them
Think Savage is more suited to the deeper role, with Iqbal as the number 8.Based on ETH's sentiments this week he has confirmed it is Iqbal and / or Savage.

Yeah he sits in front of the back 4 more, far better movement / positioning than McTominay already who hides behind the opponents front 2. Zero intelligence or he's knowingly doing it and no confidence. I reckon its the former though myself.Think Savage is more suited to the deeper role, with Iqbal as the number 8.
I found that piece ready interesting and from that list I would imagine the most attainable are Sangare and Ruiz. Depends if Ten Hag sees things that way though.
how the hell is Loftus-Cheek in that list?I found that piece ready interesting and from that list I would imagine the most attainable are Sangare and Ruiz. Depends if Ten Hag sees things that way though.
Loftus-Cheek excels in ball-carrying, hence why he features.how the hell is Loftus-Cheek in that list?
There wont be a contingency plan. I've now accepted the fact it's De Jong or nothing, regarding a player in midfield.
Really impressed with Lukic last season, should come reasonably cheap. Scores his fair share of goals.
Think that's just you in this instanceEverything now points to the De Jong deal not going ahead.
Too many sources now saying he never wanted to join us in the first place.
How can we get things so wrong and waste so much time or is the club just gaslighting the fans to believe any old BS.
Please elaborate and tell me why, Mr one linerThink that's just you in this instance
Di Maria vibes but no walking awayI'm so over FDJ. Amazing talent but do we really want this guy here if he clearly does not want to be? Smells a bit like Di Maria, comes for the money, hates Manchester, leaves next year. I really think we should buy an alternative or coach up whoever ETH was thinking, pray and hope we get top 4 next season and throw everything to Bellingham next season.
If he can turn McT into a world class midfielder, he really is the 2nd comingThe obvious answer is to develop Mctominay.
Has all the right attributes under the tutorship of EtH, MvG and S.McClaren.
Book mark this.
Afterwards he can turn Boris Johnson into a good person. It'll be easier than your grand master plan for a player that doesn't get into Scotland's midfield.The obvious answer is to develop Mctominay.
