Don't think we need to bring 18 in, the squad is full of too much dross. Need quality not quantitiy.

Suggest we need

1 x Keeper (Maignan)
1 x Right Back (Dumfries)
2 x Centre Back (Bastoni, Tomori)
2 x Midfielders (Rabiot, Neves)
2 x Forwards (Kane, Toney*)

Tell us you watch Serie A without telling us you watch Serie A

Agree with most although I can’t see the point of signing another right back if we keep both Dalot and Wan, maybe a centre back that can cover right back (Timber?) if one goes will do the job too?

When you list it out like that the forward depth is very weak and that has to be the area of the pitch we strengthen the most.

I wouldn't buy Weghorst (Another Glazernomics joke) & Phil Jones is set for release, so....

1. Dean Henderson
2. Eric Bailley
3. Harry Maguire
4. Brandon Williams
5. Alex Tuanzebe
6. Alex Telles
7. Scott The Scottish Player
8. Anthony Martial (Too injury prone)

Unfortunately we do need quantity. We need quantity and quality if we wanna challenge City. Look at the drop off in quality when players are injured/suspended

First page of this threads like reading the four Yorkshiremen sketch

Can do it a smart way. AWB has had a good season. Buy a RB he then becomes a very good back up. Sign another CB . We then have 3 good Center backs and lindelof looks like he can fill in.

Sign one midfielder and sabitzer and it leaves , new midfielder , Casemiro, Eriksen , sabitzer and Fred when things really go tits up as 5th choice as CM options .


, we then have 2-3 options for number 10 (Bruno Eriksen sabitzer) and 3-4 good options in CM . Wingers keep diallo as cover for Antony and garnacho for rashford.

Maybe even keep mejbri and bin The Scottish Player too

Sign one quality CF . RB, 2 CM . Sign the right 4 players and things will start to take shape. We are not too far off after our signings. Currently we have too many shit@#%&!s in the team . The bigger challenge is getting rid of all the rubbish who are on big contracts. Maybe sneak the odd free transfer for a striker cover

More like if Microsoft did counting to 8. Thought it would be an easy job but ended up giving rep out it took that long for someone to nail it.

Reckon Lindelof ushered Maguire out of the door today. Martial has to did absolutely nothing and never got involved. Sancho also. That's 3 big first teamers on large wages.

AWB has done more than enough to.be kept. Dalot less.

Being linked with Rabiot again.

Has been excellent this season. Would definitely improve us.

He's on a free isn't he?

Stopped reading there, tbh.

The Einsteins love pushing the idea of binning one of the best goalkeepers in our history, but have yet to put forward a single sensible option as a replacement.

De Gea will be fine once he has a settled back four in front of him. Just like he has been all season up until the Martinez and Varane injuries.

As for the clear out, if its limited to 8 I'd be binning:

Henderson
Jones
Bailly
Williams
Telles
Fred
Weghorst
Martial

Sabitzer with a ponyta-

Marseille can take a big step to CL tonight.
