DeGea, Bailly, Valencia, Herrera, Pogba, Mata, Sanchez, Lukaku - Some of the bigger names linked with exits this summer, if they were to leave, who would you replace them with? A top four finish could decide ins and outs quite a lot of course.
DeGea - Well most of the good keepers are already at big clubs. And for me beign the best keeper in the world he is pretty ireplacable. Oblak is the obvious choice, but with DeGeas contract we could end up paying millions more for him. Donnaruma is probably the best young keeper in the world and would be a good signing. I think we have a great number two who can play as our number one anyway in Romero, with that in mind Svilar isnt a bad cheaper option.
Bailly - With Rojo more than likely leaving too, I think bringing in £50m if we are signing one centre back, the fee isnt a concern. I think De Ligt will end up at Barcelona. Koulibaily is the obvious choice, a great centre back. Personally I would love two centre backs, which I really dont think can happen if we buy Koulibaily, I would love Upemecano, his build, strength and power reminds me to a degree of Sol Campbell, Romagnoli I also think is an excellent centre back.
Valencia - Well we have DAlot, would love Bissaka though, think he is a special player and ticks a lot of boxes
Herrera and Pogba - Well with Matic showing signs of being past his peak, this could be a worry, as that could be our whole first choice midfield needing replacing. We have Garner and Gomes coming through and McTominay and Perreira to me look like good squad players, I dont see them as first choice players though. Add how poor Fred has been and we could be seriously short quality wise. Rice, Ascacibar, NDombele, Guimaraes, Rodri, Saul, Tielemans, Tonali. A lot of them would be a risk, but there are some fantastic young midfielders around at the moment.
Mata and Sanchez - Age, wages and general performance wise, though I am a fan of both players....not really a fan of either as players for us. I think with Greenwood and Chong coming through and how poor and inconsistant Sanchez in particular has been we dont need to do much. I would love Sancho though, to replace Lingard as first choice as much as anything. Lozano I also think is very under rated on here and a good buy for the price....I would consider him as another option fo rthe left, maybe moving Martial inside in if Lukaku moves
Lukaku - If we can recoup the fee, be great business, guarantees lots of goals in patches, and work rate....for me he offers very little in build up play and when he isnt at his best, he is truly awful. Also criminal for £75m his first touch is abysmal Would probably move Martial inside as a send striker option if he leaves and we have th enumbers out wide. As Rashford is first choice I dont see how we would spend a fortune reaplcing Lukaku anyway, I dont really have much idea who I would sign. Probably another really hot youngster, Lincoln the very little I have seen of him looks a similar like fo rlike replacement with more technique at probably half the cost. Gouri of Lyon looked fantastic for France youth levels, not sure he has even come back from injury though or is anywhere near ready subsequently for a big move
