What it boils down to is a rubbish transfer strategy. It's been appaling for years. We've known for seasons that our right flank is fecking diabolical and the only attempt to fix it has been Darmian and Mkhi, both players that ended up being not good enough.
If we're comitting to Oles style of football then it means that several players simply aren't suitable to that and rather than leaving them in the squad we should be clinical and get rid this summer. I love Mata, but he's got no place in this squad anymore, he doesnt have the pace. Sanchez was a mistake and we should be selling him this summer. Lukaku doesnt work as a striker but does a job as the right forward, we should be selling him last but he should also be moved on. Bring in two forwards that are direct replacements for Martial and Lingard. Bring in a first team right back, Young has done well but it showed yesterday at this level he's a liability. I know people bang on about a CB, but I actually think that should be last on our list. Promote Tuanzebe and sell Rojo. Our number one priority is sorting out our forwards and right side.
If we have the chance of signing Eriksen then we should be throwing everything to get him too. I love Herreras spirit, but having Eriksen alongside Pogba would make us significantly more dangerous.
