[Lee Bushwacker]

FFS!

I've seen another report saying he'll be ready to go for the second game of the season against Everton

A nice little bit of pre-season banter

At the start of the window people would have been underwhelmed. At this point people will take anything.

Dunno is 'better than nothing' anyway to run your recruitment

I think this window will be a wait and see. Could have got two relative bargains in Santos and Baleba, but they could be two duds also.

Tielemans is class but he is 29, and sigining players at that age is always a risk. Probably a bit less with players like Tielemans who has a good football brain, but still a risk.

It's a very risky strategy from INEOS, the proof will be in the muddle.

The important thing in the midfield is going to be how Carrick gets the balance of the players that have come in.

Baleba will be the holding DM, Mainoo as the 8 and Bruno at 10 id imagine.

Santos, Tielemans and Mount as rotation players for the above?

I think they really need to go get a left back but I doubt the money is available, also Sesko hasn’t played any of the preseason games so not sure what’s up with him.

Any coach who watched Utd against AC last week will be getting his players to run at Shaw every time they get the ball.

I like Mainoo, but I think Tielemans is a better player. I'd have him over Mainoo. But there's plenty of games this year. Tielemans can play as a 10 too if something happened to Bruno, or he just needs a rest from carrying the club on his back.

 

[Nollaig O Muracu]

Sesko's injury record is very worrying too btw. Yiu can't build a team around a player who misses that many games.

I also love Mbuemo but he doesn't impress me much as a centre forward. Could play Bruno as a false 9 if needs be? Ten Hag did that for the cup final and it worked so well he never even tried it again. Idiot.

De Ligt should be back from that minor muscle pull any year soon now

Sure ye should go out and buy Pedri altogether so that he can give Zinedine Andrea Luka Mainoo a break from time to time.

Fyp.

Welcome back
