Enzo, new DM, Kante, and Chukwameka seems fine for a season without any Europe. We also have Casadei. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it’s worth having either of those two in the first team squad, though. What they need most is to be playing every week and developing, not sitting on our bench. Whilst Poch is great with young players and training with loads of top players would be great for them, going out on loan will probably be best. If we can get Santos in particular on loan to a top Portuguese club for a season it could do wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a long time since we have had a beast DM. I almost don't remember the last time the team's midfield was not regularly by-passed. Only for a little period during Tuchel-ball was the team compact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,399 Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Carney is nailed on going on loan. (he's not even a CM, more attacking). I'd bring in Lavia + Caicedo. Enzo Caicedo Lavia Kante. Santos, Casadei, and Carney on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tried getting a work permit for Santos in Jan, so I'm guessing all intentions are to bring him here as soon as possible. Whatever ends up happening, there has to be an actual plan in place for these youngsters: loan them out to develop elsewhere prior to giving them a chance here, or sell them should they fail to live up to their potential. I never want to see scenarios similar to Piazon or Baba again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,250 Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I like Vlahovic’s game more than Osimhen’s (better all around footballer) but there’s just something about him that makes me think he’d flop here. Reminds me a lot of Morata in that the supreme talent is there but he doesn’t have that killer in him. Hasn’t really come close to living up to the hype since moving to Juve, either.

So why would they not demand Kepa money for him? If they’re desperate for money it should be Lautaro we’re after from them rather than Onana.

Pizy 19,250 Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Hopefully we get the midfielder we really want quickly. Fabrizio now saying that United are going to be prioritizing one as well. Which is weird because for much of this season United supporters have been saying that Casemiro is the best DM in the world 🤔 🤔 🤔 now they need someone else. So that’s United, Liverpool, and Arse all prioritizing high quality DM’s. City may be after someone as well if Gündogan goes to Barca. Feels like we have to attack that market very quickly if we want to convince these players to forgo CL football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
