I think we should definitely go for Gosens as well, but as a replacement to Alex Sandro, not to Frabotta/Pellegrini. A starter and a back up at LB.
Sandro at his age isn't going to attract much suitors. Chinese clubs are broke and Arab clubs don't seem spendthrift in the current situation. Can't see an EPL club spend money on a 30 yr old.



It's pretty clear he's slow and subdued in that LB position. We should look to convert him as a CB imo.

How about

Depay (free), Locatelli, Aouar, mckennie. If Morata's illness is a concern then send him back to Atletico and get Zapata instead.

Recall Rovella and Pellegrini

Spend big on CMs this summer, for once. Bring in a backup for Sandro

Locatelli, aouar, mckennie, arthur, rovella and bentancur :klin: pretty sexy, no? Depth, versatility and youth. No overpaid geezers

Sell Rabiot and Ramsey to the EPL

you won't see big deals while DS, Costa, Rugani, Berna, Ramsey, are here. best we can hope for is loans for them to get them off wage bill before spending money,

Costa is only one who should stay next season. even with his injuries it's nice to have a winger other Chiesa who runs directly at players. especially if we plan on playing 4-3-3, which we should

Costa, Chiesa, Ronaldo, Kulu, Berna as wingers.

Morata, Dybala as forvets

Lion, we need CMs though. Better CMs
100 percent. I think though we underesttimate how much diference having one good player can have on the squad. just having one good quality CM will lift the team up I promise you. bentanur and ramsey are not bad players. misused s better term.

look how much better we play when cuadrado is in team vs when he is not. he is just one player but he does so much work and allows us better tactical flow vs when he isn't there.

look at impact of bruno fernandes on manutd. one player turned that team from a meme team to a good team.

all I am saying is that I think just getting one good quality CM to play deep would be a huge impact that would allow rest of team to play well off of him. I just don't think we will see more than 1 CM siging and thats going to be one of locatelli OR aouar. I don't expect both

Fair enough. I suppose bringing Locatelli (and arthur recovering) could have a big impact. No more Bentancur or Rabiot as the playmaker.

If Rovella can step into the team that helps too.

Guys like bentancur, rabiot, ramsey should be B2B mids

I mean Bentancur plays as a AM for national team. Yet her we play him as a Regista. thats what happens when we have no options.

I actually want to see Bentancur play Mckennie's role of a energetic ball winning mid high up pitch.

Kind of like Vidal did under Allegri. We know his physical and is good closing players down and winning ball. he is also a tall guy and can be useful making runs i box for headers.


bentancur-locatelli-arthur

chiesa-morata-ronaldo

with cuadrado and gosens as wide support from the defense.

Yes it's not the most creative mid field, but this means we can play high intensity pressing and lots of pace. use the players to win ball high up pitch. use morata, chiesa, and bentancur to press high up pitch. no more slow motion build up. play fast one two direct football. @Dominic @JuveJay

Bentancur had his best games when Arthur was fit and firing and when he had Pjanić last season.

I've always said he will make a very good complimentary player. He can do the dirty work while he has someone else running the midfield. Unfortunately he's making too many mistakes/unforced errors to even believe that he could work out well with a better support cast in midfield.

Signed on cheap/free deals.

His point still kinda stands.
