Any word on Neymar?
Still would love to see the circus show if he went to the PL

Feels like they have a lot of similar midfielders now. Bruno, Eriksen, Mount all the same while they really need a midfielder more like Casemiro. Not that i mind them buying wrong players.

I mean I wouldn’t say Bruno, Eriksen, and Mount are similar players at all. It’s pretty clear though that ETH is going to use Mount to add a high level presser in midfield behind Bruno. Whether or not it works is tbd.

They all have their strengths further up in the midfield. I don’t think Mount can handle that roll at all. This transfer would only make sense if they think he’s a backup for Bruno imo.

I mean I see what ETH is going for. He wants an 8 that can press and transition the ball from defense to offense. And Mount young enough where he can start 50 games in a season where Eriksen can’t. I think it makes sense tactically, I just question where Mount is the right guy for that role.

United lunatics.

Chelsea I guess will make a big bid for Caicedo now?

That’s been the report.

Most of Chelsea’s big exits have been handled now. Lukaku will drag on, and the rest can probably be picked off one by one as things go here.

But there have been pretty consistent reports of a second MF signing. It’s just unsure whether that will be an AM or a CM. Veiga, Szob, Lavia, Kone among reports. Who knows.

There are also reports of another ST, although a more proven one. Which I’m against

Plus this means, depending on what positions he'll fit in exactly, theoretically it could mean some midfielders could be rested more. Eriksen definitely needs it, it became clearer towards the end of the season that one 90 minutes a week is enough for him. Edit: which you sort of addressed in the post which didn't show up for me at the time.

So pleased with this window, both in terms of the targets, the commitment, and the timing.

Get the outgoings fired up. Tierney, Balogun, Pepe, Xhaka, Partey, Cedric, Tavares, Lokonga, Runarsson, Trusty.

Loan Marquinhos and some other youth players (Patino, Flores, Okonkwo, Hein, etc.)

That's a full summer as far as I'm concerned.
