Terrible news if he goes to the Rags.
Midfield is an area we need to strengthen. Worried were already lagging behind this summer
It would be an absolute disaster if he goes there. One of the very few players who would take a 5th, 6th, 7th ranking club which is where I see Utd finishing at this moment, to title contenders for years to come. It directly affects us as it makes what we want to do so much harder. However, we may know he's not coming to England and will only leave Juve for Spain. If he goes to Utd though that would be a massive error of judgement. I don't believe for one minute the claims that Pep doesn't want him.
But I like the additions of Nolito and Gundogan. Not sure how that can be described as lagging behind.
Last season we had 3 weaknesses in the squad:
1) Toure was gone, and we had no credible replacement
2) Navas for2nd season running scored zero goals from outwide.
3) Fullbacks deteriorated. Attacking full back play is a huge part of the game. Sagna is poor going forward. Zab slowed up. Kolarov the best going forward, but lost it defensively. Clichy OK, but no more than OK. This is the area that needs sorting now: unless we're playing 3 at the back which is a possibility.
Worry for me is KDB/Silva. Difficult to see them working in same team. possibly 3 at the back would allow us to do that
