Ed004, would love to know your thoughts on transfers this summer.

Who do you think we will bring in.

{Ed004's Note - Dont think todays the right time to comment on this. We need a rb, cb, cdm, cm and rw as priority. Then if Pogba goes a replacement for him and I dont think Lukaku is good enough either. Theres about 20 players I wouldnt be fussed to see leave}

On the basis of today we probably need a left back today as well.

Shaw struggles in his defensive work, can't cross and hardly ever overlaps the winger.

Good passing ability though.

{Ed004's Note - Even the players I have as first choice next season you can question whether any of them are world class or not}

I hope that we are structured in our recruitment and there is some cohesion. If that's olly and Woodward or new DOF just have a plan for the next 2 seasons with this summer as part 1.
We the need to be patient as fans of there is a solid plan.
I agree on the positionsEd sets out. But it could be any of departures happen.

{Ed002's Note - That is not how it works.}

Good post that Ed and finally people can see Lukaku isn't the forward that qill win you titles. I am also having doubts over Rashford and his attitude lately.

Its like some of them are too big for their boots and they need a strong personality to sort their heads out.

If we are going to consider a quick fix then i would go for Cavani for a year or two until some of our young strikers can work on their finishing.

{Ed004's Note - But we have went down the route of signing older players on high wages and it hasnt worked out. Ive no idea where we go from here. We have no leaders in the dressing room and we are being ran shockingly by Woodward}

I agree we have no leaders ed004 and I'd love to see us sign some but I don't see too many viable options. Who would you suggest would be good options. I'd like a commanding CB that organises the defence and a midfield general that has the effect of a catalyst, improving those around him by his presence and example.

{Ed004's Note - The rumours about who the club are targetting is encouraging such as the likes of Wan Bissaka, Milenkovic, Fernandes etc. But Ive no faith in Woodward competing them deals tbh. Tbh I would be happy with a rebuilding season next year. Play the likes of Dalot, Tuanzebe, Garner, Greenwood, Rashford etc along with a few new young signings and look to build for the future. Hopefully secure a potential star in either Sancho or Felix}

Now we are in the europa league and we have ole as manager there is no reason the youngsters should get a good run.

If you can establish 2 or 3 of them as first team squad players and one of them as a first team regular. It makes recruitment a lot easier.

Yeah I'd like those 4 in the squad next season and for them to get game time in cups/ against weaker opponents in the prem if they are playing + training well. BUT Rashford aside we haven't successfully brought too many through the academy to be first team regulars or seen much improvement in players we have bought in. It begs the question is there a problem with our coaching? If there is that needs addressing otherwise it doesn't matter who we sign or promote.
