Interesting, I'd have Smalling over Jones personally. I have no idea why other than I rely still more on Smalling despite his fuckups this season, Jones hasn't looked much better than his usual self.

Other than that I debate Carrick instead of Fellaini, but logically you need that outlet against a team like Ajax. So I think Fellaini will be played up with Rashford somewhere.
 
I've been iffy on Lingard too, complete match winner one day, anonymous the next. But he has got definitely got talent in his own right. Doesn't score enough but pops up with big goals, good personality to have in the camp (little things like that are underappreciated, he's the class clown at the club, very liked), links up well with teammates and particularly Rashford, knows where he is in the line (happy to be a squad player), fills the Homegrown rule, and leaves nothing on the pitch. All in all, no point getting rid when there probably aren't any players out there that tick all of those boxes.

The reason he's been playing a lot lately is because of the injury to Zlatan (Rashford would've been predominantly wide if Zlatan was still fit & firing), no doubt his 'squad' role will be in more effect next season if we have a big summer
 
Just starting to watch the u23s vs Spurs at OT. Said no Tuanzebe as he will likely start against saints. And Mourinho is there to look at players for the last 2 league games.
 
Good win for the u23s 3-2. End to end game in pretty terrible weather. Players i think would of impressed Jose. Periera, Olosunde, Kehinde, Bohui, Harrop, Warren. Good cameos off the bench from Buffonge, Dearnley, Hamilton. Poole, CBJ, Redmond, Willock very dissapionting. Gribbin was ok trying to make things happen. Harrop with the hat trick. 3 great goals tbf!

If Fellaini does leave this Summer. We know for sure that means game time for TFM and Periera next season. As there is no sign of a new deal for Carrick and he might take a coaches role in the u23s while doing his badges. Leaving us with Pogba and Herrera as the only recognise CMs. Unless we can get Fabinho and someone fairly cheap like Matuidi as well. Pogba, Herrera, Fabinho, Matuidi, TFM, Periera would give us great options and all offer different things.

AS and Marca saying it will be announced on Sunday. And that Colombian station saying by the end of the week.

Announced meaning, announced that he is coming to us? Did I miss something? :O

The only reason why I'm happy to have him is to have another OP Premier League player in FIFA18, but that's it.

Pretty much sums up this signing for me, another big name, no real sense to it.

Why no sense to it? We need goals he scores goals, we need better quality in the final 3rd he brings it, he will also bring assists. Can play wide. Even played well as a more advanced of a CM 3 for Madrid. Top player for not extortionate price. Sounds good to me.
 
Let's see how He get's on when He is running towards parked buses and actually being tackled week in week out.

We have Mata/Pereira etc. who can play the role he will do, depending on if he is used as more of a no.10.

We need a striker to get on the end of chances, a proper goalscorer is what we lack, not someone like him.

Our team has most quality in the positions Rodriguez plays.
