Many of our players are punching above their weight, Fred being one of them. As a team we are able to get performances where the sum is greater than the parts, but even so, we rode our luck this season. The perennial question arises: will the board invest to make us champions again, or will we scrimp and save and bargain hunt and hope for the clubs around us in the table to be as shambolic as they were this season?Man Utd 2 Liverpool 4
Can't believe no one's been on this thread after last night.
Absolute horror show from Fred now last night was a real low point he is not this bad in every game but he needs to be playinga lot lessfor a different club next season if we want to really challenge for a title.
NoThe issue with him being in the squad is he is shit.you need depth but we can't have this guy playing 50 games next season.
Surely your not suggesting we keep Martial & Phil Jones?Wasn't Fred a Jose buy? Maybe Roma is interested in him, and to be fair, I think Fred would do better in Italy than in England.
I think Cruella is onto something though: we should be bringing in world-class players each window, even if it's "only" a Bruno. The ones that don't make it, didn't make it, and should be moved on.
The past few windows we average around 150 million pounds spent. That is probably by design, not accident, so we can probably peg this next window's outlays at around the same amount. Fred, VDB, Lingard, Matic, Mata, James, Lindelof, Bailly, Telles, and I'll throw McTominay on the list even though I like him to make it an even 10 players - are all squad players, not good enough, or should be sold at this point. It's going to be a buyer's market, no doubt.
There won't be many buyers but even if we're only get 10 million per, that would buy us a world class Sancho (everyone seems to want him, I use him as only an example). Selling those players would leave us even more threadbare but it's a vicious circle we have to end at some point.
