I'm a massive fan of Alex Scott. He really reminds me of Luka Modric in style. I know that Ederson, M. Fernandes and Scott aren't the huge name signings many of us wanted, but all three of them raise our midfield ceiling massively right away, and two of the three have Huge potential to improve dramatically in their time at OT. If we can get all three for circa £130m (£35m Ederson, £50m Fernandes and £45m Scott) and that gives us budget to sign Lewis Hall, I'm all for it.
The one concern will be us aerially, as none are dominant there. But we'd bloody well keep the ball, which would be nice. Especially if then the Rashford, Ugarte, Zirkzee sales can bring in a further signing or two. Some kind of Zirkzee/Leao swap, perhaps?

Luka's a good shout. I was going to say a bit of the Paul Scholes about him. Obviously he's at the beginning of his career and has a long way to go. But his ability to draw players to him, turn away from danger, angled, short passes, long passes and shooting.
He may be a cracking player if he keeps developing. Could him, Mainoo and Bruno play in the same midfield? I don't know, but maybe.
Lots of rumors to come, just getting started for the summer. I doubt any of us are guessing the right players at this stage.

Hopefully Onana can be sold as well.

I wouldn't trust Onana to pick up the cones after training!

Personally, don't mind Alex Scott, although she's certainly a better pundit than footballer.

I would be well happy with Scott, Ederson and Fernandes.
Some really good options and add Mainoo to that as well.
We would be proper stocked up on that area.
