Matic & Mikel?

valencia is a midfielder, not a right back. he plays at right back because we're desperate. if you don't think he'd fit next to carrick, it's because you're an idiot.

He's the best right back in the division tbf. Although I kinda agree he's not a right back tbh

Funny how Ferie, moyes, LVG & Mou haven't agreed with you. Sure you're right though.

Think it was just Ecuador's old manager and me when I was on drugs that agreed.

it must have been another valencia who played on the right of midfield for us before we got desperate.

Only one out there who's in the same mould.
saul niguez.

I have a message for you from Sam Jackson.

If Wiltshire stays fit he could sit in front of the back four.

That's Lee Carsley

That's really tickled me that has. Thanks.

Have to agree with the thought that focusing on a like for like replacement would be a mistake. Very few players of his ilk around, the likes of Verratti and Kroos have the ball playing ability but you would question their defensive contribution.

How Pogba develops is key to this, working very well at the moment with more freedom to move but if we bring in someone like Griezeman he might have to play a little deeper.

Zlat, Martial, Mikki, Griezeman and Pogba would be ridiculous, just wish Zlat was a few years younger.
