new defensive signings (self.reddevils)

bapeimpalaDe Gea が 投稿

While I'm elated at the thought of Pogba signing, is it just me who thinks our defense still needs some work? With Rojo and/or Jones potentially departing, who would you like to see arrive?

I'd really like Mustafi. It's a shame he seems to be Arsenal bound and that for an absolute bargain.

[–]tocitusMemphis 1ポイント2ポイント  (4子コメント)

Is he?

It's only been really unreliable links so far hasn't it? And I keep reading about FFP balancing but Valencia fans are pretty adamant that the Gomes deal was enough for that. So all in all, I don't see Mustafi leaving for £21m.

I've also seen a few Valencia fans on /r/soccer saying that he hasn't been that good since Otamendi left.

[–]imnoterror 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

You might be right. I can only remember reports linking him to arsenal for like £25m, but I don't remember the reliability.

[–]bapeimpalaDe Gea[S] 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

No, I believe he's definitely on the market, but when I think of him, all I have are visions of Pogba sending him back to bed in the semis.

Seems like an underrated mention whenever this question gets asked lately...But I really would be satisfied with Miranda, he's experienced, and he's 31 so he'd be a good short term signing. Bonucci straight up won't happen and just I get the feeling Manolas won't leave. Koulibaly hasn't proven me enough yet for the type of calibre we need. Someone who's a leader and is experienced, Miranda fits that bill

Back in March when Di Marzio linked Miranda with us... I kinda could see this happening even though he's on a 2 year loan deal at Inter, maybe could force a buy

Manolas can't happen due to Olympiacos' 50% of the fee clause.

[–]lemonylemon93 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Why does that mean that a transfer wont happen, legit question.

[–]unitedicecreampizza 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

They won't sell because half of the money will go to Olympiacos this year. If they wait until next year to sell him they would get 100% of the fee, so they won't sell this year.

I thought maybe we can get him on a loan with an "option" to buy next year but that would be difficult for a high profile player.

I don't think Rojo and Jones will leave. In terms of CB's there are none available that would be an improvement on what we have. I posted this yesterday which somes up what I think:

I'd be just as happy with one of Jones/Bailly/Blind/TFM/Tuanzebe partnering Smalling as I would be with any of Manolas/Toprak/Koulibaly/Mustafi/Murillo

We're lucky we got Bailly early in the window because now we're seeing Chelsea, City and Arsenal struggling to find a good CB for a good price and being forced to bid £38m on Koulibaly and £50m on Stones

miranda

Decent player but I don't think he is anything amazing, he was offloaded by Atletico Madrid for a reason.

Mourinho normally stays very consistent with his 2 CB's and I don't think we'd spend £30m on Bailly to have him as the sparcely used 3rd choice. Us getting Bailly very early in the window and us not being linked with any CB's sonce suggests that Bailly was our choice for CB. I think Jones, Blind, TFM and Tuanzebe are ample backup too

[–]knoxisback 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

hes been amazing for inter and was sold to inter to make room for gimenez

jones is rarely fit, tuanzebe and tfm are too young to be anything reliable, and blind should never play CB again. mou doesnt care about ball playing cb's like LvG.

[–]YoungPappy 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

he was offloaded by Atletico Madrid

Because Godin and arguably the biggest talent at CB and already very good Gimenez play there. Not a lot of CB's are able to break that partnership. Miranda would start here.

[–]amayes94Mayes 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

Ashley Williams Or Benedikt Höwedes would be perfect complementation to smalling

[–]bapeimpalaDe Gea[S] 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

yes, Howedes would be great!

[–]spoofexKing Cantona 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

I'd say with Bailly and Smalling we've got our dedicated back two with Jones and Rojo as backups. We don't need anymore full backs as we have 2/3 in each spot that can play there.

Think we're done after Pogba apart from a few exits.

[–]thecricketnerdSmalling 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

The problem is those are unreliable backups, can't count on Jones' fitness or form and Rojo is, well... yeah.

[–]deathlohk -1ポイント0ポイント  (6子コメント)

I hope we sign Fabinho

[–]Launch_a_poo 9ポイント10ポイント  (3子コメント)

I'm happy with Valencia and Darmian personally

[–]sylheti27Schneiderlin 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

He can also play CDM. I remember Monaco using him there for their European games.

If Schweini leaves and depending on Blind, he's very young and might be a good buy.

[–]cm2683 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

I can't see us selling a multifunctional player who can cover fullback and DM in Blind only to replace him with a multifunctional player who can cover fullback and DM in Fabinho. If we sell Blind, there won't be a replacement, based on Mourinho's comments.

[–]sylheti27Schneiderlin 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Agree. I don't think we 'need' Fabinho. I just think if we do go for him, it'll be a good signing and we should be excited as a fanbase.

[–]Yeahthatsnotright5Herrera 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

I hope not. We signed four starters (including Pogba). There's no more room for first year starters on the team. We need to do with what we have. Darmian is excellent on his day and I have no doubt he will be one of the best RBs under Mourinho and with a natural RW in Miki supporting him. Valencia is a more than capable backup. Mourinho put Varela on a loan who will hopefully also come back next season when Valencia drops

[–]cristiano10sMartial 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I feel we need a CB a lot more than we need a RB. Darmian showed promising signs last year and deserves a second chance as much as anyone

[–]digitagCarrick 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I actually think we're pretty set in defence. That is, if Bailly lives up to expectations and turns into a top level CB. We've got good back up across the back 4.

I'd like to keep hold of Blind for his versatility as an intelligent fill-in in almost all defensive positions and I'd like to keep Rojo and Jones if they are happy to stay.

There's still a part of me that thinks Jones has what it takes to be a starting CB, he's just been so long out of regular football.

[–]GourangaPlusPlusPartial to Martial 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

What sources do you have for Jones leaving?

[–]Crusty_Gammon_Flaps 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm not sure who we should sign but I do think we should sign a proven CB and maybe a RB.
