Ok this is a bit of a downer but its about being realistic. Lets say even if we get De Jong, Antony, Timber and Eriksen. Is that an excellent window? Like a 7/8 out of 10 window? Id rate it average and Ill tell you why. Out of those signings only one is a first teamer. Forget about form and last season. Who are the first team players. Rashford, Ronaldo and Sancho are first picks for the front line. Yeah if Rashford continues to be sht Antony or even Elanga will get in. But realistically Rashford is a first teamer. Maguire and Varane are first teamers. No way Timber gets in there. Will Eriksen be a first teamer? He wont replace Bruno. And I doubt if he will play in the pivot with De Jong as a first choice pairing. Maybe in some games but I would presume it will be either Fred/McTominay.
So basically its going to be the same team as last season with a better midfielder and possibly a stronger bench. But we did loose Pogba, Matic, Lingard who even if you hate them are not bad quality. So its not a bigger jump in quality as you would think. What did we fix? Attack? Not really. Defense? Not really. Midfield - not really. We need 2 midfielders. Basically if we need to improve we needed 3,4,5 plus FIRST TEAMERS. Not just potentials and improve the squad players. Players that would walk in and bench the likes of Maguire and Rashford or even McFred. Or really we need to sell these big time players that are no good. Yeah we have had players leaving but only the players that want out. We havnt made the truly hard decisions and got rid of the trash that has been stinking up the place. And forget about just being sht. These are the players that hate each other and downed tools.
So I see the same team more or less next season. Will it be better? Of course. Cant be worse can it? But it will really be down to luck and a shift in attitude and some manager magic then transfers. At least thats how I see it. What do you say. Whats your 7/8 out of 10 transfer window look like that will radically change us?
