It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Two clinical goal scorers being signed. Our attack just got alot more scary for other teams

I think Pogba will end up at PSG. It suits their model (sign players on a free transfer with high wages). They will need a 'big' signing to appease fans when Mbappe leaves this summer.

There are numerous reasons why Pogba wouldn't end up at Barca, Madrid, Juve, and I don't see any big Premier League teams interested either. So where else does he go?

He either stays put or goes to PSG.

Pep likes Pogba right? That's the only worry that city might say no but Pep might say yes.

Spot on. If you think of the changes we had to make this weekend and then imagine Alvarez and Haaland starting and Jesus and Sterling being on the bench instead. Instantly it's a much better squad and much better prospects. It means Foden and Grealish can play more creative roles rather than in wider areas if needed as well.

The lack of pace in our midfield is always a bit of a concern when we start to look leggy. Bernardo works his socks off but he's not quick and when he's tired, as he was on Saturday, it is difficult for him to play that central role. Rodri can barely run at all. Gundogan can't either. De Bruyne can but you want him with less defensive responsibility and using his energy to drive forwards. Phil and Jack can cover the ground and could easily play more of a box to box role.

Bellingham is the man I'd love to see us sign though. Get him in as a replacement for Ferny and let him play a box to box role.

Dortmund after Bellinghams brother. Im guessing he will stay a season to play with his brother who in Dortmunds eyes has the same amount of talent.

Pep likes a guy that switches off and stops running as soon as he gets even a little bit fed up? Pep likes a guy with zero tactical discipline but a giant, fuck off ego instead?

I doubt it. Any praise Pep has offered Pogba during his second stint at United is purely Pep being Pep. Just as he’d say Accrington Stanley is a ‘tough, tough opponent’ if we played them.

Not a fucking prayer Pep wants Pogba anywhere near this squad. None.

I remain sceptical about Alvarez and whether we'll see much of him next year.

I know he'll be with the first team but so are the kids and they rarely get game time. I hope I'm wrong in this matter.

It's a huge step up from the Argentine League though.

If he's a replacement for Fernandinho won't he be signed to play as our 6, rather than box-to-box?

If Bellingham comes it won't be this summer and it won't be as Fernadinho's replacement. My guess is it would be next summer to replace Gundogan.
