Cunha & Mbuemo

Cunha - excellent footballer, but his attitude and tendency to get sent off makes it a no for me

Wolves are happy to sell him
Apparently…. He is a knob
Talented but not great off the pitch

Samuele Ricci from Torino…. Would be a genuine, long term, starting option as opposed to a short term person to teach Gray.

I think the lad form betis will show us how good he is in his audition on Wednesday

 

[DaveT316]

Which would be good DMs to try and get to teach Archie Gray? Do we get an old one on a two year Naybet type deal?

Having reflected over night, I’d go all in on Wharton. Not a destroyer, but a tempo setter.

What's our home grown/club trained quota situation?

I'm not sure on Werner.

Why do I feel like I'm personally being called out here. Yes I'm triggered!

 

[Gutter Boy]

I would still like us to experiment with Romero as the DM, before a back four of Porro, VDV, Danso and Udogie (or Vuskovic, Spence). Mascherano-style, he is so good on the ball. Main question would be: does Romero himself feel like doing that. Might hurt his credentials as a central defender for Argentina for example. And, of course, will we manage to keep him over the summer.

The above would perhaps enable us, Ange-style, to field two more attacking-minded midfielders - preferably Bergvall and one more.

I don't think you convert one of the top 10 CBs in the world, to a more physically demanding position, in the second half of his career. It feels like another convert Kane to an ACM call.

Listened to a ton of podcasts on the drive yesterday and one of them brought up ManU's interest in him. Apparently he doesn't like following instructions, he wants to feel the game and do HIS thing.

Ok for the league, but no spaces for Europe (even with Reggie and Werner etc. going). It's another reason why I'm on the Dibling, Delap + Mitchell train.

I’ve heard that from 2 wolves guys and also in the media

 

[stinkfoot]

Maybe we should try with a bid for Joao Palhinha seen as though he's not had the best season at Bayern.

 

[glorygloryeze]

What about the guy who just bossed the EL final in that role? Bissouma or someone I think he was called.

Fair point

You know you've gone astray when GB is calling something out as pie in the sky!

Good.
As Man Utd are falling apart it'd be just swell if they could now blow a huge chunk of their limited budget on a maverick likely to fall out with coaches and teammates while failing to properly play within the set-up they want

I guess Weds amazing result opens up the club vs association trained debate again. From what I remember, we only had 2 club trained in Whiteman and Austin. The former is probably leaving the club.

What is left?

A-list - Venom, Kinsky, Keeley, Porro, Udogie, Romero, VDV, Dragusin, Danso, Vuskovic, Bentancur, Bissouma, Gray, Sarr, Bergval, Kulu, Yang, Son, Richi, Tel, Gil, Veliz, Solomon,

Club Trained - Austin,

Association Trained - Spence, Maddison, Johnson, Solanke, Scarlett

B-list - Phillips, Dorrington, Abbott, Donley, Devine, Odobert, Moore, Lanks

So we have 26 A-list players for 17 spaces. As you can only have 4 association trained named, that means we are 10 players over before we can even add one more. That is heightened for one more season as some of the young guys need to have completed 2 seasons at the club before they can move into one of the other buckets.

Fortunately, the B-list looks in a healthy state. Guys like Phillips and Devine could become important squad members to plug the club trained gap.

Madness to even contemplate letting an experienced serial winner go!

You can have more than 4 association trainer players. The 4 id the minimum required not the maximum.

Ederson. I doubted we could get him and I'd still query the possibility but I'd love to sign him. He's the answer to the problem of our deep midfield. He's got fantastic awareness and also a switch pass.
