Grealish massive upgrade on Lingard and can rotate with Bruno as the 10. In regards to Willian if we can shift mata and transfer the wage to Willian on 2 year deal whilst him also accepting he will play behind Sancho then I think It’s a good deal, really good. Like Matic he has shown he has quality to offer, he still has his pace and precision, and will bring experience that we would lose from mata.

Our squad will be wafer thin this summer, so along with a few top class signings we will defo need to improve the squad too, there is a few players on frees this summer who I would defo take on the right deals, but we need to be smart too, if the likes of thiago are available for 30m we should be all over deals like that Jones doesn’t play as always injured, rojo injured or loan, Smalling on loan. Getting rid of them does the squad no harm as they don’t play. Sanchez has been poor and on loan so once again that doesn’t do the squad harm. Lingard will be one man down albeit even with him on the pitch we are a man down. He can be replaced with better quality. Defensively I would say depending on what happens with Bailey or lindelof we should aim for a killer Cb That was basically my point along side first team signings we need to also make some good squad signings too

Cantwell and Grealish are both shite. Avoid! You are one tough judge.

Just being better than Lingard and Andreas shouldn’t be the be all and end all. Do either player push the current strongest XI to perform each week? Because that’s what we should be after now.

Apparently some media outlet in Florence saying United have almost reached an agreed price for Chiesa, would just be a case of trying to convince him to come to England. Probably about 60M by all accounts. I wish I could like this twice. But if true means no Sancho.

I like grealish and I actually think he would do well, but I wouldn't be playing anything close to what they want tho, if they want 80, pay 90 and get Maddison instead, and then thats real competition for places. I'd still take a punt on JWP as I think he could be a great squad player for us, and I'm surprised he's stayed at Southampton for so long too.

Possible that either Grealish/Cantwell look even better in a squad that’s PL quality?
Honestly think paying crazy money for Maddison would be dumb too. The whole idea is to get cover for Bruno/Pogba. Save the big money for improving CB

Willian on a free I'd be all over Not going to happen, he wants a 3 year deal. But Ed just gave Matic an eleventy year deal!

If you can get a Maddison or Grealish for relatively cheap and convince them that being a squad player here is a good move for their career then fine but it’s hard to sell that. Particularly to Maddison as he’s a guaranteed starter at a decent enough club. Grealish may be easier to convince because of Villa’s position but at the prices being quoted it makes no sense and he strikes me as the type who might kick up a fuss if things don’t go his way.
It’s why I like Cantwell. He’s the younger of the 3, less high profile. Would relish the opportunity to play amongst some of these players and get better, there is definitely some decent ability there to start with too.
