Still worry about what happens at DM if Matic got an injury while the window is shut,got my fingers crossed that Axel & Eric can also somehow stay fit for the rest of the seasonA right winger and a left back will be fine.
De Beek, Sancho and Telles would be a phenomenal transfer window.
Tuanzebe can hopefully stay fit and eventually partner Maguire.
We'd be well set for the season if we can land 2 more.
I remember the Fergie years where he would play players out of position and they would make a good fist out of it. P Neville in midfield, Giggs in the middle, even OGS on the right wing after Beck left. We don't seem to have that flexibility anymore.Still worry about what happens at DM if Matic got an injury while the window is shut,got my fingers crossed that Axel & Eric can also somehow stay fit for the rest of the season
Fergie often played him in midfield, and he got some outlandish comparison's from it, but that's when had his athleticism, his legs are shot now.I remember the Fergie years where he would play players out of position and they would make a good fist out of it. P Neville in midfield, Giggs in the middle, even OGS on the right wing after Beck left. We don't seem to have that flexibility anymore.
Could Jones not play the Matic role given time?
Jesus we are crying out for it.After that, I'd be surprised if people don't think we need a CB or a CDM.
He would trip himself up and be injured for the next 6 months. We might as well play McTom or Fred there or play Bailley CD and try Lindelof there. He can pass a ball.I remember the Fergie years where he would play players out of position and they would make a good fist out of it.

Yeah we are but there looks absolutely no intention of signing a CB/CDM until next summer,poor Rio will be doing his nut again next time he's doing one our games on BT SportJesus we are crying out for it.
Can't we just offer 80m straight?Koulibaly: 70 + Rojo
Yeah that is shocking to say the leastThe joke is there's no news about signing a centre back. Were not even linked with anyone after a smoking today. 2nd loss out of 3 games.
Yeah why aren't we going after Partey, I appreciate he isn't a natural DM but he at least has defensive capabilities.The more terrifying thing for me is the lack of a credible link for a DM. Fred and McT aren’t fits for the role and Matic moves slower than continental drift!
This is why our defence gets exposed too much and again nothing done about it.
Yeah if only we could rip up the whole organisation and reset but unfortunately there is no one with a spare 5 bn to buy the clubI honestly don’t know anymore new manager, new players, new coaches, new board, new owners? I don’t know.
Who is gettable at CB later today realisticallyOur back 4 aren’t as bad as they have played in the last three league games. Telles will improve us immediately and AWB is clearly just getting back to full fitness. Maguire has fallen off a cliff and if we are to panic buy somebody tomorrow can it please be a half decent centre half to replace him. Any additions in mf and upfront are always welcome but our team is currently like a house without foundations. A strong gust of wind just knocks it over.
I know, nobody.Who is gettable at CB later today realistically
Yeah if there was any truth in this Matvienko rumour should get him and then bring in Upamecano next summer.I know, nobody.
The club has bet the lot on Maguire and lost big time.
We literally do not have one competent centre half at the club with the possible exception of Tuanzebe who is constantly injured. (And I’m clutching at straws with him as well tbh)
Yeah its scary we still need major central defensive surgery and lets not forget a mobile DM/DLP as well.If we want to play a higher line and push fullbacks forward we need a new back four to go with DM, STand RW we already need.
Ole has blown 130m on two defenders that don’t fit his style of play. They’ll both end up on the bench or sold off for huge loss.
Yeah and the only one we have any intention of buying now is number 3Assume Telles and Cavani is joining us, we still need:
1. 2 CB
2. DM
3. RWF
