I may be being a little greedy but I do think we need a couple more players to be at our strongest. I think we need another attacking fullback who can rotate with Tony V and operate on both sides. I also think we need another right sided forward. Someone more direct than Mata, stronger and hardworking. Not sure we will make anymore signings. Yes we will try, but may not happen this summer. But the thought of having Romero, Herrera, Mata, Martial, Rojo, Lindelof and Fellaini on the bench is comforting. It's a strong squad.

Theoretically it would a managers dream to have even more options available. And yes you are being greedy syd lol.

But we have a very strong squad already. It's now joses job to get the absolute best of what's available and to be honest apart from maybe city, we have the strongest squad of the league and one of the best in Europe.

I think, Going on what we've seen so far, even though it's early days, we should be able to win this league. I also think we will be pleasantly surprised in Europe.

We will see the group draw shortly but if it is a decent group, Jose should be able to rotate within the squad to get us through to the knock out stages and we should be able to get very far.

This once again is down to joses ability to get the best out of the squad as a whole but so far the signs are ominous.

We are clearly looking for more deals, but I understand it's difficult and this is too what Jose has been saying. But two more for me and I'd be very happy and feel we could guarantee a top three position for a few years.

I agree syd. For me its only when the games are coming thick and fast and injuries suspensions and rotation take effect. There are 2 or 3 positions that if we get long term injuries we will be exposed as the players coming in are too far behind the guy coming out. Both full back positions and a wide forward.
In our current set up we have good cover in goal centre back midfield up front and on the left.
Valencia is 32 and even though he is in great shape i would rather a more like for like replacement in the 20 or so games he won't play than darmian same on the left. But if the right players are not available for the right price then its not the end of the world.

You could argue that we should look at our u23s. You sometimes don't realise what you already have. Mitchell for example deserves a game time in the league cup this season. I imagine that Yound and Shaw will probably play in those games when they come back to build upntheir match fitness. In all fairness to Ashley Young he has been a very able lb, lwb and could play rb, rwb.

20 Aug 2017 19:24:58
You are right about Young MH, rarely disappoints as LWB to be fair.

Ken, I just think one more signing as well as Ibra may keep the confidence going.

Lets be honest transfers are exciting and Jose himself wants one more. (probably more in truth)

I also reckon we need a couple of players, but it has to be a left full back for me. Blind's doing OK at the minute, but the stronger teams will come to attack us and due to his physicality and lack of pace he will be caught out.

I also think we need a specialist in that position. We have saw what matic has and is doing. When you buy a specialist in a position they excel in that position and help the team. For many years we have failed at this, but sometimes you have to buy the player you need, not who you want. I hope Shaw gets fit and he will make a great understudy for whoever is brought in to be the consistent full back.

I was also on here a week ago saying how I think we needed a back up striker. However, martial is starting to force his way into the team and the improvement he has made deserves reward. Both him and rashford deserve their chance and if they continue this start then I won't be worried that we did not purchase a back up striker. I just don't want ibrahimovic to come in and disrupt the team.

Who would you buy Syd? Good to have you back around.

20 Aug 2017 22:55:12
Fresh. I would buy rose at left back right back is tricky as the 2 stand out ones we were liked with were fabhino and samedo. One playing at Barcelona and fabhino psg bound according to 002. Ed also says we messed up on aurier. I don't see any rb jumping out so with tony doing well maybe best to wait although i think if tony gets injured we could suffer a bit in that position.

As an attacker i wanted greizman of the players left available i don't see a stand out candidate so unless something unexpected comes up in the next few days we will go with what we have and that would be fine. We are due a lucky year with injuries so fingers crossed.

I think Tuanzebe can play well at rightback if required. He looked ready when he came in last season.

21 Aug 2017 06:20:43
Lindelof can also play right back plus a great point above,
How about we give the kids a chance?
