We should offer Celtic £30m in a lump sum for Kieran Tierney. Arsenal have had their £25m instalment bid rejected, according to the BBC. This is the sort of signing that fits our current philosophy and I think we should go for it.

Then Icardi obviously.

Tierney, not for me. Good young player but wouldn't be surprised if the current hip injury hampers his career. Yes to Ampadu!

More questions

Is James Chester time with us over?

Is Rushian Hepburn-Murphy made of glass?

How bad is James Bree?

How good is Dominic Revan?

Will Frederic Guilbert be a hit or a miss?

Minnesota United kicks off against newly promoted Premier League side Aston Villa this Wednesday, July 17 at 7 p.m. CT. Tune in to watch that game live, with a full broadcasts brought to you by MNUFC

https://www.mnufc.com/post/2019/07/16/live-stream-mnufc-vs-aston-villa-international-friendly

So we will be able to see:

If we are playing 3 at the back?

If we are playing a high press?

Defensive midfield player who dropped in a central defender position  (How Leeds play)

Defensive midfield player who dictates play

Jack as a number 10

Is Jota a wide player or an inside forward?

Is Lansbury finally able to prove himself because he is now fit?

Is Callum O'Hare ready to play with the big boys?

Which two players start at centre back?

Can Scott Hogan regain his scoring touch?

Can Keinan Davis find his scoring touch?

Is Wesley Moraes a player who will lead the line or a deep-lying forward?

Is Matt Targett really that slow?

and who do we still buy so that we can improve the team?

At this stageThere are more questions than answers


Flipping heck, they are only playing for 90 minutes.

Alan Nixon (@reluctantnicko on Twitter) has said he will have a story online shortly that Brentford are 'trying to buy Marc Bola from Blackpool'.

As he is a left-back, that might mean Rico Henry is on the move. There has been rumoured interest before, though it would be weird to go from one (sometimes shaky) option to 3, or 4 as Hause is also an option. UTV.

We may as well buy Bola instead. It'll save us the effort in a couple of years.

It would certainly bang a gon.

I understand that he moves like a ra, talks like a ca, stings like a be.

Chester looks fighting fit in the video's and photo's.  The jumping exercise between the mannequins, on the video, would put a lot of stress on the knees, so he must be in reasonable shape.

Chester certainly looked sharp in the training videos. Doesn’t mean he is game ready.
