Scott McTominayShaw instead of Malacia, and another player instead of Martinez
Assuming the left-footed Lisandro Martinez plays on the right side of midfield, Dalot would have decent cover with Varane also there.Dalot is a huge weakness there.
Because of his height, I assume. He also played there for half of the season two seasons ago, to be fair.Are you mixing up Martinez & Alvarez? Why is Martinez in midfield?
He will definitely need it. I get the shivers when I think back to his performance v Villarreal at OT last season when Danjuma tore him several new ones.Assuming the left-footed Lisandro Martinez plays on the right side of midfield, Dalot would have decent cover with Varane also there.
I think so too. No doubt they can be upgraded but given the holes all over the team I don't think its top priority for this window.I'd rather have a new right back than another midfielder personally. I think McTominay and Fred will be players that Ten Hag can and will use a lot alongside De Jong
Using Wan-Bissaka there against stronger opponents would be one solution.I'd rather have a competent player in there who others dont need to worry about covering for so they can focus more on their own job.
Worried about Martinez's aerial ability playing as a CB, he has played DM before.Are you mixing up Martinez & Alvarez? Why is Martinez in midfield?
Yeah, I'd also prefer a new starting rb if possible.I'd rather have a new right back than another midfielder personally. I think McTominay and Fred will be players that Ten Hag can and will use a lot alongside De Jong
If we can get him this would be a decent lineupDe Gea

Not forgetting Garner, who I also think Ten Hag will like. Watching him at Forest I will always struck by how positionally disciplined he is, and we know he can pass the ball, so if he is looking for a player to coordinate well with Frenkie then Garner might come into considerationYeah, I'd also prefer a new starting rb if possible.
Sure, but he's really not a DM. We switched to him after it looked like we couldn't get Timber & I doubt Timber was planned to play as a DM. Martinez would no doubt be a CB signing.Worried about Martinez's aerial ability playing as a CB, he has played DM before.
Shame he doesn't have more ability on the ball. I think ETH could sort out his concentration issues. Some high intensity training sessions/focus could solve a lot of his issues but not the footballing ability one which is kind of important.Using Wan-Bissaka there against stronger opponents would be one solution.
If we can also get someone better than Fred next to De Jong then yes, this would a good line-up.De Gea

I hope we also get Eriksen in, but I'd be happy with the team above

New rb, Timber, Varane, Shaw
De Jong, Donny
Antony, Bruno, Sancho

So if they are to be the new McFred will they be known as Garnkie or Franer?Not forgetting Garner, who I also think Ten Hag will like. Watching him at Forest I will always struck by how positionally disciplined he is, and we know he can pass the ball, so if he is looking for a player to coordinate well with Frenkie then Garner might come into consideration
Exactly this. People thinking Rashford and Maguire will be bench players next season is hilarious. Of course things can change but only if they are sold. They wont be on the bench. I suspect we might get a RB though.I dont expect a huge change from last seasons 1st 11 unfortunately.

Maybe Antony for Rashford if we sign him.
