Sell Kamara to Man City.
Bring back Doug

Would that work ?

No.

[AV84]

Probably asked this already but... anyone from the relegated teams we'd take? Been a while since we bought or sold Cameron Archer.

Doug wasn't the same player once Kamara did his ACL.

[PaulWinch again]

No and without wishing to go over old ground that’s because they’re different types of player. Once Kamara got injured we tried to get Doug to cover his role and he couldn’t really do it, and in doing it it took away a lot of what he could do. So he’s not a replacement for Kamara.

That's true but Luiz can replace Onana. How in the hell did we spend 50m on him last summer, even allowing for some flexibility in our dealings with Everton. Onana/Luiz swap deal 🤝

I'm not as bad on Kamara leaving, can't afford to let him run down his contract like he did at Marseille. Not sure who his replacement would be in that scenario, it's not Onana or Luiz for sure.

Where on earth has Kamara to Man City come from. Pep wants a smaller squad and has signed 2 centre mids in the last 12 months to cover Rodri.

they've got a lot of cover in those positions - Rodri, Nico, Gundogan, Nunes, Kovacic

I expect 3-4 to go and 3-4 to come in this summer. Most pressing is the right side, a wide right player and a starting right back, plus a striker to compete/ replace Ollie. The truth is in too many games Watkins has been really very poor this season, while Rogers is better from the left or at 10. We've been better defensively than last season, but going forward missed Diaby and latterly Duran, plus Dougie's goals. Getting pace, trickery and a bulldozer centre forward into the team would be my ideal summer.

Sales wise, there'll be a few. Emi, Digne, Bailey look most likely in the short term.

Finding a tactical answer to teams playing 3 at the back is a pretty urgent thing too. Oh and finding a solution to beating Palace... Might come in handy.

Palace will return to their normal mediocre self after selling their best players and possibly losing their manager

Their fans probably think the same about us. Except their best players are, *realisation alert*, probably better than our best ones.

In the words of Dean Smith, "Yeah, no.."

[Brend'Watkins]

Cash should have been improved upon this season but wasn’t. It’s imperative that is acted upon next. Even KKH would be an improvement I reckon. His team mates should have torn into him for yesterday’s performance. We’re going to have to be very cute this summer but we need some genuine quality upgrades. I think we could well struggle next season if we don’t.

In the words of Frankie Howerd...

[ozzjim]

Sadly that's probably quite true Eamonn, I think we've got a good squad with relatively few "top players". I think to kick on we need to grow or find 3-4 that take the responsibility on to be a true star player.

If United can sign Delap, Cunha and Mbueno without any European football and over a billion of debt the world has gone mad

[LeeS]

I’d be happy if we churned over some of our high earners. I want us to build a sustainable team for the long term, not have to keep selling our best players because we make losses. It’s crap, but we should spend within our means

They'll probably flog £200 mills worth to be able to.
