Here goes my 1st post.
I’ll start by saying that I believe that we need to show intent with the first signing. This may help with JG staying and certainly help with attracting other players that are of a good standard.
I feel that some of these players linked are a smoke screen for another quality player coming in. For example Edouard (although I do rate him).
If we are in for a marquee signing then they may want to understand who else is coming in. I suppose this thought applies to JG too.
As much as I want JG to stay, I’m happy for him to show his potential to all the 🛎 end doubters at Man Utd. But more importantly and key to him leaving we need to use this money and potential pt ex’s to increase the squad quality. Enough to place us comfortably around mid table.
My priority of signings
1) Striker- strong quick and able to find the net. (Based on playing 433)
2) Winger - edge of your seat player with pace.
3) Inside forward/another winger. Able to play across several positions and link play.
4) CM with stature and able to move box to box with ease.
these 4 need to be a several levels above squad standard.
5) CB- with pace. Can contend with EK
6) LB- compete with MT
7) RB- compete for starting 11. Young with pace and strength.
8 Gk- to compete with TH
Players on my shortlist
Strikers Belotti, Edouard, Andre Silva, Isak
Wingers Chukwueze, Sarr, benrahama, kluivert, malen, osimhem
other forwards. Watkins, Rashica,
CM Doucoure, loftus cheek, kondogbia
CB Godfrey, or the french seem to have a few good young CB.
LB Henry or Lewis
RB Cash
GK Butland, Martinez, Romero
some unlikelys in there but just aiming high
thoughts?
