I don't see that. Delph and Pogba replace Milner and Lampard. KDB and Sterling replace Dzeko and Jovetic.

Please tell me Tolmie hasn't posted "Welcome to Manchester" in this thread
why?
Pretty self explanatory, as I'm sure you're aware .why?
Depends on foreign spots really. He'd be a good option to have around as the natural holding player and 5 CM's would be useful, especially with two in their 30's, but if the foreign spots become an issue then he'd be one of the more expendable options and one of the easiest to offload and get pretty much our money back on.
I can't see the foreign player spots being an issue this season.
Dzeko and Jovetic look to be going and two homegrown players are coming in (Sterling and Delph). If they both leave, that leaves us with 14 foreign players.
Plenty of room for Pogba and De Bruyne, any left back coming in will mean Kolarov is the expendable one.
Fernando will be here next season, I'm almost certain of it.

I think Delph would prove you wrong pudge, and if he was an alternative for a departing Fernando, we just might make a few bob on the deal also.

No enlighten me? England International and home grown, is he going to be our main man? no he will be part of our squad, players like him who are good on the ball work there socks of all clubs need. why can't you see that or is it all about having 11 world class players? what would be nice but will never happen ever at any club..
Yes, because I don't rate Delph I only want 11 world class players. Solid reasoning there. It's not as if I've constantly berated those who say "Would x get into Barca/Madrid's squad", oh wait I have because I fully understand the idea of a squad. Still doesn't mean I can't view Delph as bang average at best.No enlighten me?

Townsend is an England international and HG, wouldn't touch him with a barge pole though. So is Lambert, Cleverly hell even Jamie Vardy. It's hardly a merit badge these days that makes them better than they are.

Yes but as RM have proven over the years, having 11 galactico's doesn't mean you have the best team.
You need your water carriers dotted about to be the glue of the team
Remember Utds sucessful Champs league squad? that had Ronnie Johnson in there, he didn't get much prem time, but was ideal for a certain job. He wasn't a mega star, he did the right job needed

I can see your point, but given there's a set of rules about HG players that we have to adhere too, we then have to forfeit the idea of everybody being world class (unlikely in the first place) and get the best we can manage that conform to the rules.
This HG issue is (arguably) the only reason we're in for him, but it's a valid reason, and there's not really a vast number of such players available. Given that, I'd say he's a decent buy.
If you're purely talking about a team of the very best players, then no, he's not going to make that sort of grade.
