So why did you disagree with my idea of: bringing in Weghorst as back up striker, recalling Sessegnon from loan, bringing in new CBs, and adding Sabitzer as a top quality CM along with Skipp?

4 players there who would be in the last year of their contract. Lloris, Gazza, Aurier, Lamela. We''d be mad offering new contracts to Gazza and Lamela. Aurier has wanted out for the last 2 summers and i'm not sure Hugo will sign up again with PSG sniffing.
Fair, I think there's a strong case to sell all 4 of them.
With Aurier, I think perhaps give him a one year contract extension and then sell him in 2022. He has played quite well, and I think getting 2CBs is more of a priority.
Not sure we'd get much money from selling Lamela as he's so injury prone.
Lloris we could sell, but who would you realistically buy as a replacement this year? My thought process was we give him a one year extension and then buy a replacement when fans returning means our financial prospects have improved?
I think Dean Henderson is a perfect replacement for Hugo. And he is a HG...
How much would United sell him for?
He is in the bench, so they can´t ask too much.
Yes they can, because quite a few clubs will be interested and willing to pay £30M plus.
For that money, i take him. He is only 23...
Yes he is better on the ball than Sanchez but my comparison was on the defensive side, in which I would take Sanchez over him.
I disagree totally with him being good at reading the game cos he is often out of position. He might look that way in a lesser league but he has been shit for Real Madrid.
His performance against Shakhtar in the CL was terrible
Given the players ages whats in it for them signing 1 year contracts? They have let their contracts run down so they have the security of 3 or 4 year contracts probably elsewhere. Levy is just going to have to suck it up and accept what we can get for that lot, Hugo possibly the only exception, he might get offered a new deal but as previously mentioned i don't think he'll sign up again.
Fine, will update my calculations.
How much do you think we would get for Lloris, Aurier, and Lamela and who would you get as a new RB and GK?
Disagreed with Sessengon as cover for Son - he is not a winger. Or at least not a good one.
Disagreed with another season of Aurier and Doherty.
Centre backs a mess, Gazza 2nd choice, midfield shape and personnel all wrong. Disaster really.
A lot to disagree with.
Tanguy, GLC, Gareth..all great playmakers.
Sess is playing at LWB and LW for Hoff, and was LW in last 2 years at Fulham, so I think he’ll struggle with defensive aspect of being a LB in PL.
Midfield shape was just the automatic template for 4-3-3 with the line up generator I was using.
Why were CBs a mess? I’ve heard good things about Pau Torres, and he’s impressed enough to become a starter for Spain.

Not a lot sadly. Doubt we'll get much more than £20m/£25m for all 4 out of contract players in the current climate. I'm not great on foreign football so don't know all the names available, from the prem Henderson or Pope as keeper although i think the AC Milan keeper only has a year left on his contract, right back can only think of Aarons or Lamptey, right back choices seem really limited.

He's played LB for the majority of the season at Hoffenheim.
Think the idea was to give Sess a year of play at LWB/LB. Agree he may not cut it as a PL left back but he sure as hell won't cut it as a LW so he needs to step up or be moved on.Sess is playing at LWB and LW for Hoff, and was LW in last 2 years at Fulham, so I think he’ll struggle with defensive aspect of being a LB in PL.

If we can rotate him and Reggie we can at least have an attacking presence at all times down that side. Davies has been flogged long enough. Time to move him on or keep him as emergency CB and LB cover, which I think he'd be fine with.
We're not signing two centre backs that would command large fees. Maybe one if we're lucky. Who they are I have no idea but I don't think it's hard to upgrade on what we have now.
You’re right actually. Football.London reported that he was being played as both LWB and LB but looking back at their line ups they do seem to have 4 at the back.
Yeah I would love to see Sessegnon as an attacking LB. He is quick, which could hopefully make up for his lack of defensive skills.
Why were you so against the CBs I proposed? It’s unlikely Levy signs two, but frankly it should happen as a matter of priority.
I mentioned Toney earlier in this thread. I haven't seen him myself and was hoping a TFC poster might have watched him.
Vinicius has done a good job for us and I think he will stay.
