Why are clubs not rushing Ajax’e Neres? Dude is a magician!

I wouldn’t mind him if we can’t get sancho.
Yes, he is another fantastic winger who can comfortably operate on either wings.

Sancho gets the edge because he is English and as per tradition, we need to maintain that English base. If for any reason, we don't get Sancho, then Neres should do...

Sancho is 3 years younger and already better with better stats and better decision making than Neres. In particular Sancho is a better passer and crosser than Neres and gets far more assists and goals.

Sancho’s edge is not just cos he his English. In fact i can say many people here actually rate him poorly because he is English.

I can understand the reluctance of many to rate him highly cos of the usual English hype and also because of the poor records of several high profile Bundesliga products recently, but I can only go by what he has done HIMSELF not the records of those who failed before him.

He is by some distance the best young wing forward prospect in the world at this time. There are no guarantees in transfers but he is by far the surest bet.

The fact that he played mostly on the left at City and mostly on the right at Dortmund is also a bonus.

Well, Neres had an injury plagued season thus his Stat will definitely not match up to Sancho.

One thing about Sancho I have noticed whenever I watch him is that he likes drifting from the RW to LW or AM however, I am not sure if he does that to allow Hakimi the space to bomb forward or if it's part of his game. Any idea?

Sancho will be welcomed by me but not at an outrageous price tag.

Definitely not an outrageous price tag. I agree 100% on that.

Dortmund’s coaching staff like to tinker a lot so sometimes their formation requires him to play more centrally.

For instance this season they have played a lot of 3-4-3 meaning the attacking wide men have to play more centrally to allow the wingbacks (Hakimi and Guerreiro) the space to overlap.

He is very good with interplay centrally and would fit in very well with Bruno and Martial, but can also take his man on in wide areas AT THE RIGHT TIME and beat him individually.

It’s a good thing we’re having replacements and more options in several areas of the pitch.

James is a fantastic piece of business. He isn’t expensive and won’t mind sitting on the bench. He himself expects to play 20 EPL games or less per season. And he can be effective too.

We still need players. Real competition will keep players on their toes.

P. S: Did the arrival of Ighalo push Martial to do better in any way?

Thank you.

I guess we are away? If yes, then Ole will likely opt for 3 at the back. Although, even with your formation, McTonimay should replace Matic and he can easily slot in as the 3rd CB with Shaw playing as a wing back and Fred as the DM behind Pogba and Bruno.

Yes.

We need a solid CB pairing ( Maguire and Baily), and i think Smalling, Lindelof and Tuazebe as back-up, Rojo and Jones should leave.

No issues with RB and LB, ( AWB, Dalot, Shaw and Williams) all young (below 25 ) and energetic.

Our goalkeeping department is the strongest in EPL, we just need improvement from Degea ( confidence and decision-making).

Our midfield is 100% okay.

With the addition of Sancho @ RW, our forward line is perfect.



bailly that can't stay fit,

E balance die.

You got two creative mids (Pogba and Bruno), one terrier/harasser with underrated line breaking passing ability, one holding midfielder with a clear view of the pitch with the ability to balance the tempo of the game.

Pogba can orchestrate play in a slightly deeper role while Bruno pushes forward to unleash 'ott shot' on the hapless Gazzaniga just like I like it grin

he certainly did. also I think Ole makes it clear enough that you get in the team if you show you want it the most for your position, and it's been a fairly consistent model with the exception of the GK position from my observation so far.
it would've been a really shameful spectacle if Martial allowed or allows himself to be upstaged by Ighalo for any reasonable stretch of games, it'd certainly spell his end in Manchester United.

Why doc?

Every man and his dog knows Pogba favors the left side of midfield just like your illustrious self must have favored the left mammary during your time as a hedonistic connoisseur of the female persuasion grin
