3-5-2 and Alex Sandro is the answer to this question.
At least 30 million reasons not to.30 year old Willian for 60m ffs. Hope there's nothing to that story.
Seems Barcelona are in the driving seat anyway.30 year old Willian for 60m ffs. Hope there's nothing to that story.
If he was to get to his BVB form tho Willian wouldn’t even get a look in, but for now I do think that would be a good move for us. Problem is he seems to produce his best stuff centrally so he’d be playing a lot like Mata and personally I’m kinda hoping we shift to some sort of Diamond with Sanchez inbehind Lukaku and Martial. Dembele could also play behind or have Sanchez in the front 2 I guess.If Barca buy Willian then I think we should offer them what they paid for Dembele as outside of a fully fit Bale I don’t think there’s anyone more perfect for our right side than Dembele, if Barca buy Willian then I don’t see how Dembele will get game time ahead of Messi or Willian.
I’d take no one in that case. Just play Mata.People who don't think Willian is worth 60 million. Willian for 60 million or nobody for nothing. Leave us with Mata and Lingard playing out of position on the right for the whole season.
Lingard offers pretty much the same qualities, he's a slightly better link player and poorer crosser, neither are top drawer and at least we don't have to shell out £50M for Lingard.People who don't think Willian is worth 60 million. Willian for 60 million or nobody for nothing. Leave us with Mata and Lingard playing out of position on the right for the whole season.
I've heard that Dembele doesn't like to track back much at Barca. If that's true then I would imagine Mourinho wouldn't be terribly keen on him, this is like a basic requirement for a wide player to play for Mourinho.If Barca buy Willian then I think we should offer them what they paid for Dembele as outside of a fully fit Bale I don’t think there’s anyone more perfect for our right side than Dembele, if Barca buy Willian then I don’t see how Dembele will get game time ahead of Messi or Willian.
Kinda like deciding to cut off your left foot or your right foot really. I think we will probably end up with one of these and my reaction will be the same as when we signed Fellaini.Willian would be great. Better 60 million for him than 60 for Perisic.
With the exception of them being in a position we need and better than what we have. The only need Fellaini was signed for was Moyes' ineptitude.Kinda like deciding to cut off your left foot or your right foot really.

This sums up the problem with Mourinho as United manager in a nutshell, tracking back should never be a deciding factor for an attacking player.I've heard that Dembele doesn't like to track back much at Barca.

Won’t happen because it makes too much sense.Zaha ffs
Same. We should be doing all we can if there's a chance, especially considering we have no natural RW in the squad.I don’t really understand why people don’t rate Willian when he’s been chosen Chelsea player’s player of the year last season even though his relationship with Conte was broken and he didn’t play too much. He’s really great in my opinion and he would make us contenders.
Cost: £300M. Minimum.Mbappe, that is all.
Probably look cheap in two tears the way its going. He already looks cheap at 167 or whatever it was.Cost: £300M. Minimum.
It's not just about tracking back. It's being able to pick up the ball in deeper positions and initiating effective transitions. People keep bringing up wide players but none of them are better than Willian at this. Willian also knows what Mourinho wants in transitions.This sums up the problem with Mourinho as United manager in a nutshell, tracking back should never be a deciding factor for an attacking player.
CP would ask for £70mil which is too much for him imo.Won’t happen because it makes too much sense.
Ryan giggs scouted him along with Jesus. 5m could have landed him as per his quotes.Probably look cheap in two tears the way its going. He already looks cheap at 167 or whatever it was.
BlimeyRyan giggs scouted him along with Jesus. 5m could have landed him as per his quotes.
Scored again today, the last six months of last season he really impressed me.Won’t happen because it makes too much sense.
I do but I’m leaning towards the we don’t need one sort of area.With the exception of them being in a position we need and better than what we have. The only need Fellaini was signed for was Moyes' ineptitude.
If you have some shit-hot available RW's in your notes I am sure Ed and Mou would be glad to hear it.
Because he's realised his potential and has stopped being a dickhead. He has the skills we lack imo #matchwinnerWhy would we take Zaha back exactly?
Isn't he a bit average?Because he's realised his potential and has stopped being a dickhead. He has the skills we lack imo #matchwinner
Not sure that true. Jesus maybe but not Mbappe. City had a bid of 40 million pounds rejected the summer before the season he started turning heads at Monaco. The guys who run Monaco know a talent when they see oneRyan giggs scouted him along with Jesus. 5m could have landed him as per his quotes.

I'd say he's better than that tbh, he would be a very good player for us across the front three positions.Isn't he a bit average?
Don't know, not seeing it tbh.I'd say he's better than that tbh, he would be a very good player for us across the front three positions.
I've read that before but just because he thought we could have got them, I don't think it would have been that easy as Monaco clearly knew that Mbappe was specialhttps://www.google.com/amp/www.skys...nited-to-sign-kylian-mbappe-and-gabriel-jesus
He gave the interview on it to times but Sky have picked his quotes from it.
Who do you suggest?Don't know, not seeing it tbh.
