I think I am beginning to believe in Fred's abilities. Possibly our only player who likes to play the ball centrally and in crowded areas he's the needle.

We need him in that DM position. Bin Matic ready.. That slob needs aged home

afrodoc2:


Too late. He don nearly grow finish. Anything they do now he go just dey thick like Phillip Osondu or Pius Ikedia.

Smalling or Rojo...?! One of the two would be sold before the Window closes.

Darmian......?! If no Offer comes for him, then he should be released.

Matić....... Conte needs him more than we do right now. £15m and he's sold.

Does Conte want him?

Ravioli:

Forget that one

haha, why?
He's quite good and on par with Garner IMO

adeyemi2015:
Chong is skillful but he needs to build up his Body!

Leroy Sane says Hello

codedguy1:


But I understand Savic is an attacking Midfielder. That's what I read.

Fred on the other hand, I can't really say where he is most comfortable. CMF or DMF? So I don't see how the purchase of Savic should affect Fred.

No, Savic is a Central Midfielder, and plays best in the Box-to-Box role, which is why he was being talked of as Pogba's replacement.

Nevertheless, if Pogba stays and Savic is bought, they can still play alongside each other with Bruno in the AM position.

Dylan Levitt has always been the unfortunate one.
Because the other 3 were stars from 14-15 and he was a late developer he never got the same hype from within the club.
Then he saw Garner come behind him as well to stake a senior spot. With Perreira, McT, Fred, Pogba, Mata, Lingard, Gomes he has no chance of making the squad anyway so better he trains with the reserves.
His chances at making it here look slim at the moment but he is a very good prospect IMO.

His village people is on his case

A loan move wont do him any harm as Mata will soon give way. I rate him on par with Garner.

Ravioli:
Chai.. Chong dhey punish skriniar

Isn't Skriniar supposed to lock down Chong considering his defensive quality and experience?.. weird seeing Chong deal with him though.

@Afrodoc has already mentioned the reason he won't make to the first team. I pity him shaa

Na.. That will leave the Midfield open. He is not a DM. He roams. Connects with the Attack more than sitting deep like Matic, Carrick, or Jorginho them. They will slice our midfield. We ain't getting them both Btw. Is Savic or Bruno.

Yeah. I really like Levitt. Not just his quality but his adventurous, risk taking style.
He is a CM/AM while Garner is a CDM but they are both good.
Then we have like 4 promising right backs in the youth set up. With AWB and Dalot e be like e don be for all of them.

Lana1:
I knew we were going to suffer when i saw Lingard, Matic and Martial all starting.

See how things got a bit better when the young guys came in.

Lingard and Matic should never start for us again. OGS should end that experiment with this pre-season.
They can be starting in Carabao and Europa group games.

Who owns this mail?

Oasis?

MRTA7:


I'm not high on Gomes for the reasons you stated. Loses possession too easily.

Maybe it's another Gomes. The Santi Gomes I've seen rarely gives up possession.

In fact, you've got a better chance of nicking the ball of Pogba or Matic.

His low center of gravity ensures you'll have to foul him to get the ball.

OK, just like Ravioli explained.

I just have a problem of trust with those saddled with the DM responsibilities. Unless they step up, especially Fred and Mctom. The likes of Pogba, Savic and Bruno if we get them need to be really free to roam and cause damage if we have a dependable DM.

Bissaka and Shaw as WB must do justice to their positions, defending first and joining the attack for us to be threatening.

Just saying!

Singapore stadium no bad at all

You see as stadium full. Everywhere red.

I prefer McTominay in that position over any other midfielder currently at the club based on what i've seen so far.

A defense of Lindelof/Tuanzebe (Maguire maybe) with Shaw and AWB as rampaging fullbacks will be beautiful to watch...

Yeah, realized that.. will love to have them both if possible though.

Na thunder go fire Ole if e no do the following.

1. Find a sharp striker to replace Rashflop.
2. Find a creative, skilful and mature AM to displace Lingard.
3. Find a replacement for Matic.
4. Sell Damian, Smalling, Jones and Rojo.

The thunder still de do press up

Based on Availabilities at the moment, I will prefer the below Lineup to be tried out in the next Game.

Chai I missed the match sha. Didn't know we had a match today. I just hope we get a player or two in that midfield. Thats my major concern. I think the club does not need a RW anymore.
