Hypothetically is JWP worth £30 million + more than Will Hughes is the question - Yes he is better,  but that much better? When you’ve got a finite budget you have to make best use of it and maybe they see Hughes a step worth taking for a season or two whilst Chucky & hopefully Sarr progress in the background.

Yes.

I doubt anyone is going to get sold. Ramsey may be given a championship loan I suspect.

what’s more likely is the ability to change from the 4-2-3-1 to a 4-3-2-1

i.e in the latter you have jack and buendia in the wing forward roles.   

luiz is probably the anchor in the midfield 3 with JWP (hopefully), McGinn, Sanson fighting for two spots and being fluid enough to move between the relevant positions.

there is easily enough room for at least one top class midfielder.

Hughes is a lazy link for me. He's a good player but will not improve the first team. 

Smith and Purslow have repeatedly said we are looking for quality over quantity. 

Quality is a player that goes straight into the first team. 

The quantity will now be provided by our youth system.

Unless they can play as a specialist 6 or 10, or we sell one or two of McGinn, Luiz, Ramsey, Sanson, which I can't see happening, I don't see any CMs coming in.

 

You don’t fancy the JWP link?

Boo.

I think our progress coupled with the ambition we have makes it hard to discern what level of player is realistic for us to be bringing in this summer. Will Hughes is a decent player and I wouldn't turn my nose up in any of the god knows how many recent seasons, but that area of the pitch is one where we aren't necessarily short on depth and he doesn't represent a significant enough upgrade on any of the starters for it to make a huge amount of sense.

I think we're going to be looking at a young Centre Back to eventually take over from Mings to partner with Konsa within the next couple of seasons.

Tuanzebe maybe because of the previous link there. He is someone who I think will leave Manchester this summer as he only has one year left on his deal and United are looking to sign Varane or some other Centre Back to partner with Maguire.

I think our board will look elsewhere - someone with a profile like Loic Bade from RC Lens who is showing significant potential at a very early age and is comfortable playing on the left side, if not necessarily left footed.

I feel Tuanzebe’s ship has sailed to be honest.

Injuries haven’t helped him on making an impact at Man Utd despite their recent defensive frailties (compared to their usual standard of player)

I don’t think he’s any better than what we currently have. 
 

great memories of him playing for us but I wouldn’t rush trying to resign him.

Tosin is better than Tuanzebe IMO and has played regular football… Think it’s time to move on permanently from Axel…

Who?
