Erikson, FDJ, Raphinha, Timber
Full backs worry me more than Centre Backs because feel a proper midfield pivot in front will see improvement, however we really lack threat in the wide areas.Defence. We will get nowhere with the current fullbacks and centre backs.
Martinez to play DM presumably if we had both him and Torres, however think it's unlikelyBy what we are reported to be in for, FDJ. Would be the top 1. Antony I would love to see he s the one that could be a OT fav. Pau Torres, Eriksson. Martinez. If we get 3 of those I'd be OK.
Think there is a real possibility of being able to get De Jong, Eriksen & Antony but hard to see any of the other 5 comingDe Jong, Timber, Goncalo Inacio, Eriksen, Neves, Antony, Gnabry, Joao Felix. Obviously not going to happen but if we get 4 or these 8 I'd be delighted.
Think you're right, mate. Unfortunately, those 3 alone won't be enough.Think there is a real possibility of being able to get De Jong, Eriksen & Antony but hard to see any of the other 5 coming
Could be enough to get us in top 4 but only IF some of the current squad are coached properly which hopefully leads to them finding formThink you're right, mate. Unfortunately, those 3 alone won't be enough.
Possible if we had City/Chelsea/PSG/Newcastle's finances but no bottomless pit hereThe perfect window ? That’s a high bar…

I disagree. If we were savage in moving players on we could easily afford 6-8 players this summer.The perfect window ? That’s a high bar…

We get Rangnick back and actually let him spend some money this time....
Drinking on a Tuesday night lads. Nota great look.rehire Ralf Rangick and let him fix this mess of a club

He is the worst choice. A manager is not just about tactics, but how you manage your personnel. Rangick is good with players who can immediately follow instructions but with players who are reeling from mentality issues or taking more time, he just loses it. You can see from ETH's interview that he refuses to adopt Rangick's approach of shooting down the players and rather, have a objective assessment of the squad.rehire Ralf Rangick and let him fix this mess of a club
Lets at least try to be abit realistic:
De Jong 70m
Ebiowei 0m
Sangare 30m
Malacia 20m
Total: 120m
De Gea
Dalot Varane Maguire Malacia
Sangare De Jong
Ebiowei Bruno Sancho
Ronaldo
Now don't give us fantasy like we will raise 40/60/70m from players sales. No one wants to buy our players. I repeat, no one wants to buy our players. Our best hope is to loan Henderson with option to buy for 20m. Hence, we only have 120m to spend this summer.
Also, Timber is already off, Eriksen would prefer Spur for sure. Antony will depends whether we are going to spend big on FDJ or not. And of course, FDJ won't come cheap, especially in a market where Tchouameni cost 80m+ and Nunez cost 100m.
But good news is, we can promote some of our promising youngster to the first team squad:
Garner - DM
Garnacho - LW
Meijbri - AM
So that will be like 7 new signings in total.
GK - De Gea
LB - Malacia, Shaw
CB - Varane, Maguire, Lindelof, Bailly
RB - Dalot, AWB
DM/CM - De Jong, Sangare, McFred, Garner
AM - Bruno, VDB, Mejbri
LW - Ebiowei, Elanga, Diallo
RW - Sancho, Garnacho, Rashford
FW - Ronaldo, Martial

Out
DDG 20m
AWB 20m
Dalot 10m
Bailly 10m
Jones 5m
Telles 15m
McTominay 20
Matic free
Pogba free
Mata free
Lingard free
Rashford 30m
£130m + jillions of wages off the books (would probably have to subsidize some obviously)
In
Pope 10m
Mazraoui free
N’Dicka 25m
Malacia 15m
FdJ 60m
Eriksen free
Antony 50m
CdK 20m
£180m (50m net spend) and a massive reduction in wages clearing paths for squad roles for youngsters like Laird, Garner and Mejbri etc.
Not easy but possible if we were ruthless.
How is Nick pope an upgrade on DDG when he’s even worse with his feetHow has nobody noticed this person arguing with themselves
Second one for me as not a DM in squadIdeally the midfield needs to be addressed. If we can get at least 2 central midfielders or 1 central midfielder and 1 defensive midfielder, the window will be great. Although i will be interested in Garner taking up the mantle, he needs an experienced player around him, so a central midfielder signing is certainly needed.
I really like this team, however with Europa league and a more condensed schedule because of the World Cup we need a squad of 26/27 and need rotation for Thursday night Sunday football. We have 16 PL games, 6 Europa League, 2 or 3 League cup before the World Cup commences on 18th November and the 5 sub rule was brought in for exactly this to freshen things up so the PL will become even more of a squad based game this season.We should be realistically be able to make around 30m from players sales of Bailly, Williams, Tuanzebe, Pereira, Chong, Jones. That would make it 150m from the reported budget of 120m. I think this is the window we would have, looking at our targets and their reported prices we can get them for
De Jong - 70m
Martinez/Torres - 45m
Eriksen - free
Antony - 40m
Total - 155m
Ronaldo
Sancho Bruno Antony
De Jong Eriksen
Shaw Torres Varane Dalot
DDG
I actually quite like this. I think it would be one of Bruno/Eriksen in the cam position and one of Mcfred in cm with fdj.We should be realistically be able to make around 30m from players sales of Bailly, Williams, Tuanzebe, Pereira, Chong, Jones. That would make it 150m from the reported budget of 120m. I think this is the window we would have, looking at our targets and their reported prices we can get them for

That midfield is way too imbalanced. Without a proper DM we would get torn apart. I think Eriksen will rotate in a front 3 and no.10 role from Bruno. In regards to the latter, he might end up being more effective than Bruno in that role. I think a better pairing will be De Jong and Fred and if he's ready, De Jong and Garner. Hopefully though we are in the market for an experienced DM.RonaldoNot perfect but acceptable. We have players that Ten Hag can work and suit his system

Yeah it lacks a real tackling ball winnerDe Jong - 65m
Eriksen - Free

Ndicka - 30m
4-3-3:
Sancho-------Ronaldo-------Antony
-------Bruno--De Jong--Eriksen-----
Shaw----Ndicka----Varane----Laird

Although I'm not sure how balanced that midfield is. It's very technical but maybe not enough graft - although I thought the same about the Scholes-Carrick midfield and look how that turned out.
