Santos and Ederson agreed. I still think we need one more to join Mainoo and we can have 4 players competing for 2 spots every game.
Mainoo can cover for Bruno too with Mount.
Personally I think Ederson will surprise a few people. Santos I've not really watched but wish him luck.
I'm looking forward to seeing both of them and how they settle in at United.
I think both are at least as good as Fernandes. Very mobile and technically sound.
1 more for cm please and we will have much more depth and quality in midfield than we did last season and for a long time.

Who's the Casemiro replacement, Ken? Does this midfield now compete with City's, Arsenal's, Spurs', Chelsea's and Villa's if Enzo doesn't move? With 2 already in, I can only assume that we would sign one more, and that really has to be a top quality one because this current squad is just worse off from the season that ended with Casemiro gone, and we have Rashford back too.
I fail to see how I can be excited for next season.

Casemiro, who had no legs, meaning there were gaps everywhere? That Casemiro?

AJH scored some important goals, papered over a lot of cracks.

Indeed he did, Angel, but let's not kid ourselves about his mobility.

Yes, the very same. The one who brought the experience, several important goals, the shield in front of the defence. Legs or without legs, the team was much better with him in the team.
To replace him, we have just purchased a bench warmer from a team that finished 10th. I read what Ed001 has said about Santos but we are buying potential in a rebuild year. How are we going to compete in the CL with these players?
I read somewhere that we essentially bought 2 players in the price of Tonali. I can literally buy you a 100 players for that price but that doesn't mean the quality will be same. Have we compromised on quality over price?

Probably UA, because we need bodies for the coming season. We can money hope the data guys have done their proper research, and believe we are buying what we need.

A Casemiro with one leg is miles in front of these two. Let's not forget what experience counts for in this game. Running around like headless chickens are Ugarte and Fred. I would rather have one Casemiro than either of those two. But let's hope the two new ones can become half as good as Casemiro and we will be ok.
