Lindelof given time will come good, like the signs. Mou is good at signing defenders, traditionally. |

2 Full backs and maybe 1 CB. Young and Valencia would be fine as squad options for the next 2 years, but they should not be both starting at the same time. Valencia does not seem to have the engine of previous years, hard role to play in the modern game, especially when you are playing every game as he does.
Darmian and Blind will definitely go, probably Jones, a pity because when fit he is excellent, but availability is key. Smalling as 3rd/4th option would be fine, especially against some of the teams who play a more aerial game but ideally a more rounded CB would be starting ahead of him. Rojo just got a new contract, so will stay, 4 months of form in 4 years means I don't trust him, injured or erratic for most of his time at Utd. Shaw is not trusted so, gone as well. Umtiti is very good, can play LB to a decent level as well which would make him an attractive prospect. |

Still think we need a senior defender to calm things down in bigger games. Godin would be the dream. Chiellini. That sort of player. We've bought old midfielders and strikers but refuse to address the area where experience is most needed. |

Although the back four isn’t ideal it’s the centre of midfield that needs focus and a complete overhaul. Someone who can take a ball in to feet and drive the team forward. Someone who’s first touch isn’t control the ball and lay it off sideways or backwards.
After that we need two new fullbacks, one each side of the pitch. Only then should Jose be prioritising centre backs. In all honesty I would sacrifice both Pogba and Martial to help fund this overhaul. Sick to death of the slapped arse attitudes on the pair of them and both would command ridiculous fees that Jose can re-invest. |

Another clean sheet yesterday. Best keeper in world Football, a decent pool of centre halves to choose from. Fullbacks not ideal, but Young's been one of our best performers all season - despite what the Champ Manager crowd would prefer was the case. The attacking play is the issue. ...& the manager. |
