Bit upset about the Varela rumours, I really liked the kid. He was a little bit rash sometimes but I liked his spirit and overlaps down the wing.

He's 23 or so and not nearly good enough to be a starting fullback yet for us or other good clubs even.

His attacking is decent but defending is what a fullback needs to do first too and, he lacks a fair bit on that front. The best thing is to play more for him and there's no way he gets slotted in for us so a sale is best for both him and us overall really. We could put a buyback clause in case... Maybe he'll find his level and then with good coaching, develop from there by playing a lot and then come back next time.

He's a really good player. A shame.

D1794 gone awol, already 11 hours into the day and no transfer thread. Unlikely anything spectatular will happen transfer wise.

Delete if necessary.

About 11 hours later than normal!

Nothing new happening so far I guess. Expecting some Pogba updates probably tomorrow at the earliest. Hopefully things get sorted quickly and we get him or the alternative soon.

It's nice to have everything almost sorted out quickly for sure and just check r/soccer instead for other teams' progress in the market instead. Arsenal fans are already losing their shit this early in the window but I guess they've got a reason to given their lack of additions since last summer.

In terms of transfers, say we get Pogba, I still feel we need another CM in time as Carrick is on his last miles at the top, Bastian isn't the same type of player in a way but also not reliably fit lately, Blind still has a way to go before being a deep lying playmaker at the top level and the others aren't those types of players either.

Pogba would solve one issue but the Carrick replacement issue is still something we need to work on and I suspect Mourinho feels he can get by this season while pursuing someone next year instead and seeing how Blind or so cope too in the meantime.

You're right. It's mental that we need to sign two central midfielders when we already have Fellaini, Carrick, Schweinsteiger, Schneiderlin, Herrera as specialists in the position, but we do. Sigh.

That's really because they aren't good enough in a way or so. Herrera could be good enough if he kicks on and fits Jose's style. But Jose always uses a creative CM like alonso, fabregas or so and we need a new one good enough because Carrick isn't 30 anymore unfortunately. And the others don't really fit that role more than just as a temporary fix for now.
