The "why sign Thiago and Van de Beek when we already have Bruno and Pogba" crowd are probably the same lot who bitch about the lack of quality when McTominay, Lingard and Fred play.
I swear, some of our fan base just don't understand football other than strongest eleven for their Fifa career mode. Pogba has one big injury a season, and VDB and Thiago are both versatile. Both signings would make sense. Say Pogba and Matic are both unavailable, as they often are, which looks better
this
Bruno
Thiago VDB
or this
Bruno
Fred McTominay
I know which one I'm picking.
VDB, Thiago, a starting centre back & Sancho would be an exceptional window. I'm greedy, I want a left back too. I don't ever want to see Williams at LB ever again, but I'll take the 4 and pray Shaw can stay fit.
