Another left footed right sided attacker. We've already got two. Good player no doubt, but an opportunistic signing (if true) rather than going for what we need. We've done that too much.

 

[Red & White]

I actually really like him as a player! We’re certainly gonna need more bodies next season (with the required quality, of course).

As a back up to Bruno as a 10 I’m all for it as Mount can’t be trusted fitness wise, Wilson can also play on the right if Mbeumo was needed as a striker.

I think the way he's been playing he's in better form than both Mbeumo and Amad (low bar at the moment). He's a classy player and his contract is running out. However, we have at least 4 first XI positions to address, and 2-3 squad positions before we even get to stockpiling players for positions in which we're healthy. Unless the club are looking to move on a big name player this makes little sense. And it's not just Mount who can function as an understudy to Bruno (who also always plays), but Cunha and, from next season, JJ Gabriel will likely get some minutes and if he does as well as the Arsenal kid then he'll be a fully fledged squad player.

We've signed Zirkzee when we had no need for him. We signed Mount at an exorbitant cost when we had little need for him. We signed Donny with no need for him. These opportunistic signings never work out. We have to sign exclusively according to need unless they are a) team elevanting talents or b) potential generational talents.

Im all for smart free transfers considering we should be freeing up a ton of wages.

 

[prateik]

CL secured.. Hope we start the dealings soon and maybe finalize a deal or two before the WC..

 

[Bwuk]

No thanks to Wilson.

He’s a good player but if we are bringing new bodies in they should be starters.

Scouse, do not want.

29 already as well. Don't really see the point

Yeah, hard pass. I've maintained I want a winger with raw pace in the summer and that is not this guy.

 

[CallyRed]

Agents would have been on the phone as soon as the final whistle went, claiming their client has always wanted to play for {insert club name}.

It would be good to know whether Utd consider Mainoo to be a 8 or a 6. Because that would dictate, I presume whether we buy 2 x no8s and 1 x no6. Or 2 X no6 and 1 X no8.

As a back up 10 for Bruno seeing as Mount can’t stay fit then I’d be happy with bringing Wilson in, I’d also bring in Raul Jimenez in from Fulham on a free as well as experienced back up to Sesko

Good shout for Jiminez on freebie. Tonnes of PL experience. I think we missed a trick not going for DCL. Wilson is the better player but I can't see him getting many minutes from Bruno so would probably be a waste

 

[Red Rash]

Hope this is true but realistically we probably also need a RB. This is also banking on Martinez, Maguire and De Ligt being able to stay fit alongside Yoro and Heaven.

 

[Offside]

Bet we spend big this Summer. Back in the CL somewhat unexpectedly.

 

[Rolaholic]

I like this canvassing approach
