Squad numbers released, interestingly no numbers 2 or 6.

Martial changes from 9 to 11 and Ibrahimovic gets 9. 6 for Pogba?
21 Jul 2016 18:23:50
Fabinho 2
Pogba 6
Hopefully a new CB takes 13, either that or takes 5 off Rojo.
{Ed004's Note - Do people think we need a new RB? I'd prefer an established centre back or another midfielder before we went for a RB. I'm happy with Mensah (think he needs to play), Darmian and Valencia}

I'd prefer a new CB, preferably a top CB. If we sign Pogba and follow it it with a top notch CB it would be the icing on the cake.

I imagine that if we are In for Fabhino then we will be looking to Inject width at pace from our fullbacks. Shaw and Fabhino could be an electric combination.
Would still like a CB but I really am liking the moves we Have made this summer.

We need a rb that has offensive output. Damian is quite bland when it comes to going forward and everything last year was down the left side. Have not seen much of fabinho to have a view but can understand why we are maybe looking to improve in that area.

I must admit I would like to see another CB come in, I don't know if we will get one or who could be available if we were in the market - I know a lot of people don't agree but I think Garay is still a good option.
I hope i'm wrong but I don't get all the optimisim about Phil Jones suddenly becoming iron man because we have a new manager-hes had 2 new managers recently and is still perma injured - the lad seems to be cursed with a body that will let him down time and again unfortunately - I can see Jose will look at him in training and think he is handy I will keep him . but then how reliable is he?
Lastly, very pleasantly surprised to see Fabinho is 6ft 2 . didn't realise that, if we get him its about time we got a bit of height in there.

Ed004 I just posted it because of all the links. I'm personally a fan of Darmian and would like to see him and Fosu Mensah battle it out for the RB spot. I also agree that a CB and CM are crucial and other areas should only be an afterthought once we have addressed these two areas.
