Sergio Gomez would be quite an interesting shout. Think he’d be very good as backup.

Also (with a pinch of salt)twitter rumors are linking villa with a move for Richarlison. Don’t think there’s a chance of that and wouldn’t be my first choice either

I was shocked to see how good Gomez has become. Shift to LB has worked out very well for him.

He's amazing, don't want to hype him too much but really, for everyone reading this post give him a viewing, unreal talent

What I’ve been saying. He really made a in difference in Racing getting promoted too. I traded to get him in our keeper league.

Talent was always there, but the guy didn't seem the have the mental strength.
This season however, he's been fantastic. Up there with Mbappe in goals scored.

Auba and Mkh were signed to replace Gotze's position in the team as they changed tactics, they also made the CL Final so they had a lot of money and used it. Which is well exactly the case of the team we're talking about right now.

Also I will repeat again. The Mkh of Tuchel and the last year of Klopp are totally different. In the first time around the league he took 30+ shots and only put 7 on target. He scored 5 goals for Klopp. For Tuchel he scored 23 goals, then he moved teams twice and flopped both times and never did that again. So how much of that are we to attribute to good luck and bad luck? He scored more than 5 at United and Arsenal despite being terrible. Also when they were at the bottom of the table they were 4th in xG, so again, how much does luck factor into something like this?

Also FWIW under Tuchel they didn't have to take the Europa League group very seriously which obviously helped with potential fatigue.

Tuchel was also a better coach than Klopp at that time.

The Pogba slander isn’t justified imo, not until we see him struggle elsewhere. The list of players who looked like shit in Man United but bounced back rightaway once they left is rather long.

I mean... We can only judge him by how he plays and where he plays.
That said, I don't think it would be a surprise if he found his top form at Juve. Or PSG for that matter.

I mean… we have multiple examples of players coming to ManU losing their form, and regaining it as soon as they leave, that combined with the fact that Pogba is constatly one of the best players for France. It’s just makes more sense to put most of the blame on that team.

Yeah, I am not saying you are wrong - I very much doubt Pogba forgot to play club football - but there has to be at least a part of the responsibility which lies with him.
If he goes back to Juve, I expect him to become a top player again rather than a meme he's become in his United time.

Inter apparently scouted ABK extensively this season. Will be interesting to see where he goes from Bochum this summer.
