Does anyone think we should have a look at Goretkza? He's a free agent, and he could add some valuable experience to this squad. Not saying he would be a started, but as 1 of the supposed 3 CMS we are looking to add, would be a good bit of business.

Probably 4 years too late, but if he can bolster the squad I'm not hating it.

Yeah, true Jim, but he's only 31, so could still deliver for a couple of seasons. Plus, he can pass on his knowledge to some of the younger players. He's won the lot. You always need a few older heads to keep the young ones in check. As a free, I think it could be a good bit of business.

We need to churn 14+ players, and will need some free transfers this and next summer to accelerate the churn. But we also need to bolster the squad.
I like to look at the players who are expiring next summer, as there is a potential opportunity to obtain a player at a relatively low price.
Laimer, as an example, is expiring next summer and is currently in a contract dispute, so maybe he is worth a go at improving our right back position.

Wasn't he looking for crazy wages?

I think so, Eric, if you are referring to Laimer. Although crazy wages at Bayern might be okay at Utd. Especially if we can maybe gift them Mount. ?
