They've been striking gold with their recent investments. If they manage to find someone who can fill the void of Kroos/Modric, it will be hard to stop them from adding more CL trophies.

Yeah with Mbappe and Endrik looking more and more like the read deal, their attack will be tough to contain.
I can actually see some of their players wanting to leave because of the competition in the future--let's hope.

Not an easy duo to replace either; those maestro types are difficult to get a hold of. 🙂

In order to play this front 4 we’d have to play the Enzo/Caicedo midfield again which we’ve seen isn’t the best defensively.

I think Maresca will want to play 3 in midfield with a proper DM.

I also think that. We should definitely try Nkunku, Palmer and Olise attack. It could work. Typical number 9 is not necessary just for the sake of it. Last couple of years I saw Bayern winning the league with Chupo Moting or no striker but when added one of the best in the world they failed. City after losing Aguero ended up only with Jesus who was not even a regular and often played RW and they still won PL. Real Madrid just won everything with some sort of 442 formation where Jude is behind 2 wingers most of the games.

I feel like this is a fairly responsible and very high energy defensive unit too. I’ve heard good things about Olise and his defensive work rate. 
 

I really think Lavia will be an important piece for us. As a midfield buster that breaks the lines a bit.

I feel like, despite Rodrygo saying he wants to stay, he'll see his playing time reduced drastically. I'd imagine he will have no other option but to move on should he want regular playing time.

Not at all. There's a reason Madrid are still clinging to Modric despite his advancing years.

Hope United get Branthwaite so Everton can pay for Armando.

Olise must happen at all costs otherwise we will end up with Summerville.

two entirely different postions

Summerville is a right footed LWer who, after his first 3 games (goalless), played ONCE on the RW in his next 46 games, and in that game he switched over to the LW for bigh chunks, he plays almost exclusively on the left

 

Olise is a left footer who played every game on the right, none on the left

 

 

[Duppy Conqueror 1,584]

I would be fine with just sticking with what we got in the wide positions,letting them grow etc...but Olise is a special talent.just hope if we get him he can put those niggling injuries behind him,no question he's been good enough for a while.

This is the crucial bit. Unless City get involved, I think we are very much in this. 

[Stats 7,225]

Whatever happens, I hope we don't get rid of Madueke. Although he needs to improve on consistency, there was several games last season where you can see he will grow into a really good player and was a complete menace for opposition. He offers something different and should be kept in squad regardless of Olise's possible arrival.

[Strike 7,761]

 

This is great. United spending 70m on a mid-tier CB + Everton will get the funds to pay for Broja.

What I like about Noni that he is always tries his best to make waves. Not hiding from the ball or making safety passes, always going forward to shoot. Not an outstanding player and can be quite wasteful, but tcan offer a lot coming from the bench, unless Mudryk.

Perhaps the fact that we tried hard for him last summer will be the decisive advantage for us. Shows that the club really want and value him.

But what happens if we offer him let’s say £120-150k per week and United/City/Arse/Liverpool offer him £200-250k per week? Double the wages and UCL football feels like it would be super hard to turn down.

It actually is pretty simple why we are going so all out for Olise

look at the only remotely available wingers and AMFs who are clearly better

they are all insanely expensive and some have just renewed

and there just is hardly any of them, even at the mad prices, a total of 6, 3 in each postion, and Diaz will never come here (plus, 2 seasons from now he turns 30, and he isnt going to wait for some long term project, AND he has not exactly set the world afire at Pool)

Wingers

Rafael Leão  
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia  justed renewed
Luis Díaz  

AMFs

Florian Wirtz 
Jamal Musiala 
Xavi Simons   

 

thats it for both groups

 

right below Olise for wingers is Nico Williams, and unless we are now Cannes Palm d'Or lever actors, we are not all in for him over years now

same for Olise teammate at AMF:  Eberechi Eze (who I rate a lot as well) and probably Kudus

pretty large drop off after that in both groups

4 2 3 1

3 3 3 1

4 2 2 2 (the first 2 being Nkunku at SS and then the CF)

3 3 2 2  (the first 2 being Nkunku at SS and then the CF)

4 4 2  (the first 2 being Nkunku at SS and then the CF)
