Default Midfield depth: Pogba, Matic, Fred, Herrera, The Scottish Player

Anyone else think adding someone like Sergej Milinkovic Savic or Verrati would seem like overkill. I'd be slightly concerned about Poggy if we bring in another big one.

Surely a younger midfielder would make more sense.

Any suggestions?

Saffers suggests:



or



We've got Ribalta now, expecting more than easy targets like SMS and Verratti.

Still got Perreira to come back too, not sure if there’s going to be a place for him.

Kondogbia has looked the business whenever I’ve seen him, good age/height/physicalality and think he has a clause for about £25m. As for Pogba, there’s no guarantee he will make the step up this season so would rather have a reliable alternative.

Pogba and Herrera aren't proper midfielders and the jury is still out on The Scottish Player. Fred a bit of an unknown at this point if he signs so that group is certainly no guarantee of taking us to title challengers. Personally I think it's where the money should go.

For all the talk of full-backs etc I'd like to see us get the midfield quality back up to where it should be.

Good call. Not like Matic is getting any younger and who knows if Fred doesnt end up a bust.

SMS it is then.

Kroos rumours still lurking btw.

Think we need another. Happy with a 3 of Fred, Pogba and Matic, but injuries and suspensions leaves us short. Get some top class competition in there.

Unless he fancies TFM, Tuanzebe or Pereira making a breakthrough. Heard Pereira to Betis though.

Why can't we go an bully Atletico out of one of their midfielders? Forget Bale, put the squeeze on them for a proper long-term player.

Better call saul?

Might as well go balls out for him if we're ready to pay 100m for SMS....

Koke or Saul. Just do it; act like a proper club with a bit of vision rather than catching 30-year-olds on the way down.

We should go balls out on a midfielder, left back and forward ffs. Tempted to say centre back too iiph, but those three are essential

If Fellaini stays & Fred signs I doubt we will add anyone else in midfield unless Pogba is leaving. 2 fullbacks & a striker/ right winger .
Don’t know much about Fred, the YouTube compilation I saw was a bit underwhelming . Not even sure if he’s a holding player, a box to box tackling machine or a playmaker.

I think just 3 defenders and another midfielder as well as Fred, a winger and back up main striker is all we need.

Don't think we really need another midfielder. Left back, right back, centre back, midfielder and right winger.

That'll leave De Gea as the only pre-Mourinho player in the first 11.
