Shane

Hamza playing well

We need Sean to start a Gray to United rumour on twitter

Whats happening with Gray if we sign another winger? He will be 5th choice behind the new winger, Perez, Albrighton & Barnes?

In an ideal world i’d love to see us sign a striker. But with Perez being able to play centrally it makes the wings and option at CM the priority imo. It will be strange to not have a striker on the bench though. Vardy was available for 34 games last year and I think we can expect a similar return again. So we only really need a striker to come in for the cup games. Maybe this is where Rodgers will give one of the youth lads a chance such as Eppiah, Reghba or Hirst.

Sarri likes Rugani from his time at Empoli, so he’ll probably get a lot of minutes for Juve. Demiral is more likely to be their 5th choice. They just signed him but he’s being linked with a move away to AC Milan. Sounds like he is available. Turkish international, so maybe he’d link up well with Soyuncu.

Hasn’t Evans played LCB for most of his career at Man Utd & West Brom? Wonder why we haven’t tried him in that position

The lack of depth is a worry, especially in attack.

Any news on his injury? Not in the squad today..

Hopefully Leshabela’s injury isn’t serious?

Not a formation but I wonder if our bench will be strong enough next season? If we keep Maguire & sign a winger for the first 11 i’m guessing our bench will look something like: 1) Ward 2) Justin - Versatile option 3) Evans/Soyuncu - Both could be starting if Harry goes. 4) Choudhury 5) New CM - Another creative 8 as back up for Tielemans/Maddison 6) Albrighton 7) Barnes - I know we have Perez who can play upfront, but not many teams have zero strikers on the bench. However maybe Barnes could play upfront alongside Vardy if we’re chasing a game? On paper the bench certainly looks strong in comparison to last season. In an ideal world I would sign a winger and a striker, but maybe we have enough.

Would like to see Leshabela start

Maddison’s place in the first eleven isn’t a guarantee if we sign someone of Sanson’s quality. Strength in depth is what we need.

If we sign a winger and stick with the 4-3-3/4-1-4-1 formation Gray is going to be 5th choice I think? New winger, Perez, Albrighton & Barnes would all be ahead of him. If this is the case we should cash in.

Kapustka is injured, so I can’t see him leaving this summer. Cruciate ligament so could be out for a while.

Similar shape to last season. 4-3-3 / 4-1-4-1 Jakupovic Pereira, Evans, Soyuncu, Fuchs Mendy Perez, Leshabela, Tielemans, Albrighton Vardy
