Since Eriksen has (it seems) lost a lot of stamina and physical acuity (hesitate to say his legs are gone but it doesn’t look good), no8 is, imo, near the top of the priorities. CM is a key part of the team and only ever looked decent when both Eriksen and Case were fit and firing. Other than that it’s been pretty shocking.
I’d take Sabitzer there, and if Fred isn’t being sold (I hope he is) then we have him to slot in as well.
If we want a CM signing there are cheaper players out there who don’t occupy the same space as Bruno Fernandes. 60 million is a lot for a backup. That being said if the plan is to play casemiro and both Mount and Fernandes, I’ll look forward to seeing how it goes down.
Its funny that you have to bring Mancunian into this. He can be from any part of the world and I will still see him the same way. Yeah he is with Rio, the same guy who milked Ronaldo saga for Youtube subs when he had just started his channel. Stephen Howson rarely says insightful information on his own. And that video is no different, clickbaity title and the content is.. well, nothing he said that we didnt know already.
He is a good comedian though I'll give you that "If he costs 20 million, take him". I'd rather trust Ten Hag than this person who thinks 20 million gets you a decent player from PL
My point was that he lives there and is from there, so him giving a tour isn’t so crazy.
Everyone and anyone talked about the Ronaldo saga, it was basically the biggest story at the time.
So your issue with Howson
He only relies on numbers (not true)
His videos (including numbers) “rarely says insightful information”
(Numbers are extemely insightful to a footballers performance. The best scouts use them, not just the eye test because it tells the complete story)
“His titles are clickbaity”
“The worry with mason mount”
Is not click baity. As mentioned for every potential signing he talks about the worry and the case for them. How is it click baity if also then the video brings up numbers?
