Can we still sign free agents...
David Alaba and Karim Benzema anyone. ?

Sancho is available too. He looked really good at Dortmund. Maybe worth a punt?

I remember being told how great Sancho would be for us with his quick, intricate passing, by the same person who said Luke Shaw was world class and one of the best left backs in the world. That was the same person who said that Onana was the missing part of the jigsaw. So, maybe atm, anyone would be great.

It was a genuine question.....
We've already done the Sancho part elsewhere. ?

Yes, JBR, we could sign free agents.

I'd actually take Benzema on a pay as you play deal. Sesko could learn a lot from him, and having just lined his pockets in Saudi, you'd like to think money won't be the key factor behind his next move (assuming he doesn't just retire).
Alaba, I'm not so sure on. He was once one of the best left backs in the planet, but not sure he has enough left in him to handle the Premier League.

Guerreiro would be the one I'd imagine would be of most interest.

redseven, Benzema would not want him near O.T.
He is the one who was found guilty of conspiring to blackmail a fellow French player with a sex tape.
Alaba, as you say, was once superb, those days, sadly, are gone. No way could he manage the physicality of the EPL.

I mean, we should have signed the free transfers that made sense at the start of the window. Wilson and Senesi, to name a couple. But, hey ho.
Dice rolled. Let's go!

Senesi is awful, and started that way at Spurs before being dropped.
As for de Ligt, he has recorded higher top speeds.
He is very very slow.
Wilson from Fulham, I suspect you mean, and not Wilson from West Ham.
The lad from Fulham is a good player, an excellent set-piece taker, but we have lots of cover in the area he plays, so neither of those make any sense for us. Neither is as good as what we have in their positions, imo.
{Ed001's Note - Wilson is lazy as hell. Had one good season in his entire career - funnily enough when his contract was about to expire and he was playing for his career. He will go back to doing bugger all now.}

Not seen enough of him ed001 I know he is ex Liverpool so I'll bow to your greater knowledge on him. Not the type of player i'd want to see at united. He has his moments but they are to far and few between for my liking.
