Interesting you said Tah. He was actually one of the names I thought you might say! Looks like he will be brilliant. Can't say I know anything about Roca.Argh, this is tough because the profile of players we should have signed in the “rebuild” are unobtainable in this market: Sancho/Romagnoli/Chiesa, have joined (or are about to join) other clubs: De Jong/Rodri/De Ligt, or are tied to loooong-term deals: Giménez/Florentino. Also, I thought José would be a good appointment and Morata was an appropriate striker target...among other gaffes, so I know nothing! Anyhow, here goes...
CB: Tah, DM: Roca, WF: wait for Sancho instead of wasting money, ST/forward: make a last minute bid for Griezmann...if he expectedly joins Barcelona, stick with Rashford and reassess in 2020.
If we intend on deploying Rashford as the starting center forward, I think we should give Greenwood plenty of minutes as the backup center forward (the kid is turning 18 soon and should be ready for a bit-part first team role). With the medium term in mind, there's little point in signing an experienced player who will just hamper the latter's progression, unless said experienced player is of an exceptional standard (like Griezmann) and can make a genuine difference as the nominal starter over the next 3-4 years (in which case, Rashford/Greenwood would be backups for him or rotate in the wide attacking spots with Martial, James, Lingard). Would only make an exception for Dolberg from Ajax, who has hit the wall in a developmental sense — and wasn't a key factor in Ajax's European charge given the form of Tadić, but still boasts remarkably unique technical attributes that are reminiscent of the likes of Ibrahimović or Bergkamp — wouldn't mind a diamond-in-the-rough punt on him because if he manages to refine his game (big if given some of recent performances), he could be a world class 9½ over the coming decade.Interesting you said Tah.

I agree about waiting for Sancho, think he'd be perfect. If Lukaku goes, which is likely, would you not consider bringing in backup for Rashford?
If I was to guess, most of Greenwood’s games will come from the right next season. There’s nobody that’s really solidified that position so it’s not such a bad thing considering he can get game time there.If we intend on deploying Rashford as the starting center forward, I think we should give Greenwood plenty of minutes as the backup center forward (the kid is turning 18 soon and should be ready for a bit-part first team role).

Greenwood can easily play and score regularly from anywhere across the front imo. That versatility will ensure he plays a lot. The right is the most obvious spot.

Were David Amoyal tweets with a link to Di Marzio's article stating United were ready to put down €80m for Savic but Lazio want €90m. He also described the player as a mix between Pogba and Diego Simeone.Both the tweets are deleted. What was that?
Thanks. Remember Di Marzio reporting that Lazio wants 100 million.Were David Amoyal tweets with a link to Di Marzio's article stating United were ready to put down €80m for Savic but Lazio want €90m. He also described the player as a mix between Pogba and Diego Simeone.
I'd describe him as 'if Zidane was a brute..'Were David Amoyal tweets with a link to Di Marzio's article stating United were ready to put down €80m for Savic but Lazio want €90m. He also described the player as a mix between Pogba and Diego Simeone.
If we are talking about 2 seasons ago, it might be debatable since he used to play more in advanced role. I haven’t watch him at all last season but it looks like that he played more central last season, can’t really confirm this.Sorry back on Serg, do people think he fits in with Pogba - same debate as Bruno.
Always said he isn't that reliable. Didn't believe him when he was linking us with Fabinho. He's been pet l pretty poor thugs summer by backtracking and deleting claims he's made.So Di Marzio has edited his night time transfer report and this is no longer on it. I'm guessing it's off now then? Cocks back in lads.
Based on statistics - he was not voted the best midfielder by his peers or anything like that. He seemed to be lauded for final third contributions in comparison to other central midfielders, by those who are keen on stats. The consensus is that he wasn’t as good as the season prior - as was the case with Lazio in general - but that he had a different role, deeper in midfield. I caught quite a few games in 17/18 and he looked natural in an advanced no.8/ no.10 role, and a good player.So despite how people in here who probably just making assumption have been saying he had average season in 18/19. He actually won best midfielder Serie A last season based on Opta Sports & Netco Sports.
Never heard of him before.Only just realised that his brother was with us for a spell in 2014. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanja_Milinković-Savić.
Yeah he's a keeper.Only just realised that his brother was with us for a spell in 2014. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanja_Milinković-Savić.
Clearly not or he'd still be here.Yeah he's a keeper.
Not really.Wouldn’t he be a good replacement for Herrera to play behind Pogba? He’s a complete midfielder who would complement Pogba better than Fernandes (who would be Paul’s direct replacement if he were to leave).
If you were going to play Pogba and Milinkovic-Savic in the same team, Pogba would be the one playing in Herrera’s position behind Milinkovic-Savic.Wouldn’t he be a good replacement for Herrera to play behind Pogba? He’s a complete midfielder who would complement Pogba better than Fernandes (who would be Paul’s direct replacement if he were to leave).
It would need to be the right kind of player. The calibre would be no more important with Pogba and Milinkovic-Savic than with any other pair of midfielders.Playing Pogba and him in the first XI would require monster of a DM imo.
I guess the question is whether Serg is a better player deeper over the advanced role where he really got the hype.If we are talking about 2 seasons ago, it might be debatable since he used to play more in advanced role. I haven’t watch him at all last season but it looks like that he played more central last season, can’t really confirm this.
As for Bruno, he’s clearly more an attacking mid than Serg.
So take off all your clothesThings are gaitan hot in here
I like Milinkovic a lot but that prize was totally undeserved last season, no way he has been the best midfielder in serie A nor one of the top three, while he was hands down 2 seasons ago.So despite how people in here who probably just making assumption have been saying he had average season in 18/19. He actually won best midfielder Serie A last season based on Opta Sports & Netco Sports.
We've already tried that with Pogba and it doesn't work. Surely Savic only comes if Pogba is going.If you were going to play Pogba and Milinkovic-Savic in the same team, Pogba would be the one playing in Herrera’s position behind Milinkovic-Savic.
counted 4. If we sell Pogba and Lukaku for 230m, it could be possible. There is a chancehow many €70+ deals are we sealing?
This does slightly worry me.counted 4. If we sell Pogba and Lukaku for 230m, it could be possible. There is a chance
as far as I can tell the Pepe links are completely fabricated?Seems like bigger bullshit than the Pepe links to me.
Woody staying back in the UK surely means we have a lot of work to do on the market No coincidence all these links pop up now that Woody decided enough is enough with one deal at a timeThis does slightly worry me.
It's like the end game for him. Going to be a mad few weeks if even half of it's true.Woody staying back in the UK surely means we have a lot of work to do on the market No coincidence all these links pop up now that Woody decided enough is enough with one deal at a time
