Well I would back Sterling, Rashford and Grealish to get the the better of him

You could say that about practically every defender in the Prem, including Cash. Doesn't make him a bad player, and only 19.

Sure he's ok but I'm hearing talk as if he's as good as Alphonso Davies. Just addressing the balance and yet again helping others people with perspectives

Bit condescending.

Tomori? Temuri Ketsbaia...shudder, him and Curcic running the midfield would have been some sight. All that's left is their bald, mad creative midfield offspring John Joe Shelvey.

After that chump on Sky has said Traore is instead of Rashica I would bloody love us to sign both. He is such a backtracking weasel about Villa he really is.

I thought Lamptey looked good too. Also for the poster writing him off at 19, Mings was playing non-league practically at that age and look at him now. Plenty show a lot less potential and go to the top from his age.

Dorsett? Basically talks complete tripe on twitter and sky, then tries to pretend like there is a reason his tripe was wrong while making up more tripe.

 Actually I agree in a way as I never thought Rashica was a viable target for us. He will leave for a new club though so it will be mildly interesting to see where he goes. And talking of Lamptey someone must have cut bits of his anatomy off. He's 5' 5" according to wiki, not five one.

I will be amazed if by the end of this window, Rashica isn't playing for us.

How many chances we missed following a bit of Jack brilliance in there is quite scary.

Last summer we signed a lot of players to what averaged under £10m a player. And even that is a bit skewed as a stat. You cannot compete in the PL when you have that many players coming in all at once and at that average spend. This summer our average is going to be much higher for simply better talent. And even then it won’t be anywhere near the upper end of the market. But it will be a critical stepping stone. We will also move on a few of the players at the lower end or bottom of the squad. And next year if all goes well we will build again on top of what we are doing this summer.

It reminds me of the first couple of years under BFR. I think he brought a dozen players in during the summer he took over and in the the following few months. Then I think in the following close season he made something like three signings.

It shouldn't matter to get BFR.
