I don't want to burst your bubble as you seem on the brink as it is but Mou has already said that he is looking to mould the coaches in his image and isn't looking for a fresh direction.

So are there any actual realistic transfer targets or what?

Nope. Might pay stupidly extortionate fees for Sandro or Alderweireld in a state of panic in about a fortnight or sign some cheap old carthorse to understudy for Lukaku but that’s it.

He is right though.

Could we have better defenders than what we have?

Of course we could, but we conceded one more than City and scored thirty eight less.

If you want to close the gap there is only one area that really needs focusing on.

That doesn't take into account the importance of full backs in attacking play nor the team overcompensating for shit defenders by playing more prosaically though.

No it tells you which is more important though.

Swap Young for any full back you like and you are lucky if you add an extra five goals a year?

Buy Bale and you add twenty?

Like I said we can improve the defence but buy the best four defenders (or the best four attacking/ball playing full backs and centre backs in the world) and we still ain't winning the league.

It's about priorities

Of course it's about priorities. We all know what ours are.

We could have Franco Baresi and Bobby Moore at centre half and we'd still play prosaically.

United bought Carrick in 2006 and went from also rans to probably the best team in Europe.

It's not as simple as saying a full back will get you 4 extra goals or a centre back might get 3 headers.

With the news that Everton are signing Richarlison for 50m and Mina from Barcelona we could be out spent by them for the 2nd summer in a row.

What time to be alive.

Don't worry, he won't be here for much longer.

Then we can go and get one of these magical unicorn managers that everyone wants.
