@TheBenanya Lammens
Dalot-Maguire-Yoro-Shaw
Santos-Mount
Amad-Bruno-Cunha
Mbeumo

This is what I’d do if Mount is fit, otherwise start Tielemans. I just think it’s evident he’s still working up to full fitness (same goes for Mainoo and Rashford).

@paramkhurana98 @htomufc @INEOS Honestly would be easier than dealing with them for Hall if I had to guess. But either way, not realistic lol. Pubill I do think is slightly more realistic, Fabrizio was reporting Arsenal were interested in him a couple days ago and Athleti just signed Romero. He’d be my pick

[Fred Varaine @fredvthered]

@htomufc @INEOS Bin off Lisandro for Pubill/Thiaw and many of the physicality concerns go away overnight.

[Fred Varaine @fredvthered]

@htomufc @INEOS Truffert, Baleba, and Pubill/Thiaw. Not worried about a CF, just keep Zirkzee around until January at least. Way more important that we address the defensive core of the team. Those 3 would turn us into a plus athleticism team + complement our technical quality so well.

[Fred Varaine @fredvthered]

@ronaldobrownn_ Yup, if we had done the other 5 I’d have no problem with Rashy coming back and being that starting level winger. Just a damn shame that a CB feels impossible and a 3rd senior midfielder is starting to feel unlikely.

[Fred Varaine @fredvthered]

@IanM1st He was the obvious answer. Pisses me off INEOS didn’t even try to make a move.

[Fred Varaine @fredvthered]

@StevenDonovan02 Bruno should leave based off 1 preseason game? Lost your mind man. Other 3 agree with 100%.

[Fred Varaine @fredvthered]

@KG_759 @ahtalksfutbol Yea, I’d want someone ideally who’s both a dynamic carrier and super athletic OOP, just bc I think those are the 2 areas we’re lacking rn. More like Baleba. But Tchou would go a longggg way to shoring up the defense behind Bruno + either Tielemans or Mainoo.

[Fred Varaine @fredvthered]

@sameoldshit01 @ahtalksfutbol If we want an inverted player, MLS would be great. Truffert is a much better athlete than Hall and would be cheaper, also loves an overlap (most in the prem last season). He’d probably be my choice but that’s just off the top of my head.

[Fred Varaine @fredvthered]

@ahtalksfutbol Wouldn’t say terrible, defo an improvement on Shaw in that regard. But it’s definitely not the strength of his game, if the plan is to start Licha + Andrey/Youri I don’t think you can be signing Hall. If the plan is to get a super athletic 6 and play Yoro LCB, then Hall’s great.

[Fred Varaine @fredvthered]

@Vararse_ He’s a dumbass for saying it that way, but he’s not wrong. Why do you think Carrick wants him nowhere near our own goal.

[Fred Varaine @fredvthered]

@subzscout Yea it’s almost comical. Quite literally the perfect player to complement Youri/Mainoo/Santos in Carrick’s system.

[Fred Varaine @fredvthered]

@RegistaCall Slap 50 on the table for Truffert

[Fred Varaine @fredvthered]

@EliotFowle If we were ambitious we’d have moved on one of Lisandro/Maguire and got a proper starting CB in. Assuming we’ll get a LB, but it’s a shame they aren’t doing anything over the bare minimum (like getting a CB in).

[Fred Varaine @fredvthered]

@ZAYN_Z7 We just lack so much athleticism. Need a CM who dominates the ground and a LB who is a plus athlete.

[Fred Varaine @fredvthered]

@boivannie @FrankEra_ Other people need minutes. Cunha/Bruno haven’t started a game yet and the season’s next week. Mbeumo’s gotten plenty of minutes, let him come off the bench today so he’s fresh for the opener.

[Fred Varaine @fredvthered]

@tacotimenyj @mcgonagle88 Hybrid is goated. 3 days in person, 2 days at home is the sweet spot for me at least

[Fred Varaine @fredvthered]

@FrankEra_ Trying to generate interest in Zirkzee + Amass I guess

[Fred Varaine @fredvthered]

@khelszz Saka averaging 14 league goals contributions over the last two seasons. Mbeumo had 14, Cunha had 12, and Sesko had 12. Bruno’s the star, attackers share the load.
