Well it's a good thing you're not running the club; would actually be worse than the disaster that's been going on there.
:laugh: all of Lacazette, Umtiti, Fekir, and Tolisso would be upgrades. A couple of them are pretty sizeable upgrades too. Only one that wouldn’t be immediately starting is Lacazette but we have no back up striker honestly and CR7 shouldn’t be playing in every game.

Umtiti seems lost but the others would be starters yes.
Tolisso is what they need and Fekir is what everyone needs.

Lacazette won't do anything for Lyon, I am still a big fan of him but sometimes you gotta call a spade, a spade. He has worse finishing than Giroud even if his work ethic is ridiculously good.

Yes, that's how transfers work.
Obviously. Though of late, it seems every deal involves the potential buying club making personal terms with the player, before actually submitting a bid.

In either case, I think Liverpool would let him go to Bayern if that's the case. But they're going to need to pay more.

All but confirms that Henderson will be out on loan and/or sold.

And honestly United will likely need to look at another long term option if De Gea is sticking around 3+ years since at that point Henderson will be in his late 20s anyway so isn't an amazing candidate to hand the reigns off to.

They’ve been scouting the guy from Villarreal. So makes sense to sell Hendo to Newcastle for like 20 or so and go from there.

Actually wouldn’t be the worst option. He’s pretty average but has shown to be good in the right situation. He’d be a good rotational piece.

They should sign Mee on a free. They need homegrown players, left sided CB and it'll only cost wages. At his age he might be ok being a squad player and collecting a nice check to play Cup games and the occasional PL one. Just like Forster they should fill out some depth with free agents to fill the homegrown quota and save the transfer funds for a couple of marquee signings.

OL should bring back Martial too.
Martial-Laca up front with Cherki
Fekir at 10.
Tolisso-Caqueret behind.
Lukeba and... Umtiti at CB. Gusto and ? on the wings.
All from the academy.

Martial-Laca-Cherki
------Fekir------
---Tolisso-Caqueret---
?-Lukeba-Umtiti-Gusto
--------Lopes-------

Problem is that Umtiti is left footed like Lukeba.

Kalulu, Gouiri, Gonalons, Bard (the ?), Diakhaby, Aouar, Plea, Bouna Sarr (maybe the ?) and.... Benzema !
All active academy players.

I think you might be mistaking Manchester United with Newcastle United...
Tolisso is average as they come; Fekir has dropped in quality since his days in Lyon, Lacazette is a shell of himself and will be lucky to score 10 in Ligue 1 next season.

Umtiti....well Umtiti doesn't play the sport anymore.

Speaking of OL...

An unnamed spanish club is very interested in Ndombele. From Maynard.

Makes sense, needs a place to revitalize his career.

That team would make it to the Round of 16 in 2017-18...maybe.

Do you not understand that average would be an improvement to the team this season? You seem to have us confused with a good team. There’s literally 4 good players on this team based on this season. That’s CR7, Varane, Bruno, and De Gea. You got an argument for Sancho but too inconsistent.

Fred is as good as Tolisso, not saying much but it shows the average-ness of Tolisso.

CR7 plays ahead of Laca no question about that.

Fekir instead of Bruno? Lol

Those players would be on the bench for United.

As I said Laca is the only one for an argument about not starting. Fekir can play the wing. Tolisso is better than Fred. Umtiti is better than Maguire, Lindelof, etc.

Tolisso is a quality player but he often injured.
Laca was once again a key to Arsenal's season. They will lose a lot without him.
Fekir was one of the top players in la liga this year.

Some people need updating lol.

Yes Tolisso has been contacted but he apparently has tons of offers from the EPL and Serie A.
Umiti wanted to come back.
If only Fekir....
tbh om, lyon and other big french clubs are better options than real betis. they are bigger clubs than betis and he gets to play in european tournaments.
