Would he kick Dier out of the starting line up?

Would he kick Dier out of the starting line up?

He’d probably be our best centrehalf. So he should. But one of Jose’s faults IMO is he constantly changes his CB pairings so no one forms a partnership.

So everyone would still play.

I've never understood the massive fees for Morata. He's pretty average IMO.

Well technically its 82 isn't it?

IMO its because he has a lot of the tools you'd want in an ideal CF (he's tall, pretty fast (esp for his size) and good with his feet).

The problem is that he's never put it all together to actually produce enough to be worthy of how much his transfers cost

I think the most surprising thing about Morata is that he started his professional career 10 years ago and he is still only 27.

Yeah reads like his own personal pov without express knowledge whereas ‘here we go’ is after he’s got word of something.

Fabrizio is one of the very few worth following.

He rarely gets it wrong and is very clear when opinion is opinion and fact is fact. I thought his tweet regarding Sancho above was crystal clear. His opinion is that United won't pay the asking price and Sancho will stay in Dortmund. If United pays, he leaves. There is nothing ambiguous about it.

Looks like it might not be a true free transfer and instead Atleti might have agreed to some performance clauses

Is it? I'm just going off the figures I could round up for Rodrigo, Meslier, Koch and Greenwood plus this new guy.

Depends if you include Costa or not?

Are we barracking for under or over 100? I can’t remember how this started.

SM said we'd spend at least 100m and do a Fulham im pretty sure.

I said you'd spend 100m and get relegated by WHam, might have to amend that to Brighton or someone you play closer to the end of the season. I was told you'd only be making 2-3 additions as Bielsa likes a small squad and you weren't going to spend 100m.

I'm assuming that doing a Fulham is not improving the defence and then getting relegated?

Well so far we have only made 3 signings to our senior side, the rest are U23 or U18s. I'd say we get another winger/LB and an attacking midfielder.

If jose gets Skriniar i doubt he'd be rotating him

Having watched Leeds over the first couple of games and given their manager is something of a genius I would be staggered if they get relegated.

I reckon Leeds will finish in the 9-14 range. They are more than useful. I think they may become a regular fixture in the PL.

Yeah, Jose with us always favoured a settled CB pair. Toby and Skriniar would be it.
