There well stocked on attacking players with Benzema, Morratta, Ronaldo, Bale, James, Vasquez buy back option on Jesse if he does well at PSG plus Odegaard can play AMC and Asensio and have a couple of promising lads coming through the academy. 3 of those are guaranteed starters as we know which still leaves them plenty of rotation options in attacking areas.

Buyback options are banned in France, they have a first option on Jesé if PSG decide to sell him which I don't think will happen if he does well.Ode is still very young and far away from the first team.Isco is certainly a better player than Vazquez and on par with James.Not to mention that he is one of Zidane's Favourites.Marco is not in competition with Isco because he is played on the wing while Isco is usually deployed at lcm with Kroos as DLP while Casemiro is out.James is the same and considering that Luka can be injury prone+Casemiro being out for a long time, we'll need both Isco and James on the bench to be safe

Why not he's a good player and you need a good squad. Him and Isco would be great for that No10 spot. I think Isco would be an improvement on Mata. If it does not come off then I can see Mou going all out for Griezmann.

Having Mata and Isco for #10s is a luxury and waste of money imho.

I've seen Jesé saying he would move back if the option ever came up but of course PSG would have to agree. Don't think Odegaard is to far away TBH from getting some game time. And I've seen Isco and Asensio playing left wing this season as well as LCM. Don't think Zidane rates Isco at all TBH and can see James being his preferred choice.

How so? We will need quality depth and players added in attacking areas. It won't be long before the likes of Rooney, Januzaj, Young, Wilson will be gone maybe even Memphis add to that Zlatan end of next season. Hardly a luxury signing when he would be improving our first team.

Cos we have Mkhy to play as #10 if Mata needs backup plus in a 4-1-2-3 formation you don't even need a #10. So, in case Mkhy moves to the central position, we have Rashford, Lingard, Martial, Memphis, Valencia (who I'd definitely try as right winger seeing his current form) to play on the wings.

And I personally don't rate Isco that high. :)

Rashford is a STR. Martial and Memphis are poor on the right hand side. Valencia is no longer a winger. And Isco would be a huge upgrade on Isco and an upgrade on Mata. So not really a luxury when he is better than the players your naming in that possition. And Mky was bought to play RW cutting in were he was fantastic last season for Dortmund :P and plus we will be playing 4231 mostly;)

You guys should probably actually buy a competent DM before you go buying more players for the front 4. Just a thought.

We have Schniederlin not a pure DM I agree but we don't need one in a 4231. Ideally we need someone like Wiegl or Verratti, Kroos to play next to Pogba someone who can control a game and dictate the tempo from CM. Bar Carrick we have no one who can do this. Schweinstiger is past it by the looks of Mourinho.
 
We don't need isco. We need to define what we want from our midfield band

Im not saying we need him. Just he would be an upgrade on what we have and would improve us. But I agree we should try finding the right balance and players with what we have for now.
 
Mourinho just said he'll have a different approach tomorrow night, suggesting he'll play a much stronger team (more key players).
 
Luke Shaw is unwell
“Luke Shaw is ill. Temperature, fever, bad throat. He arrived this morning and the doctor sent him home.”
 
Mourinho on Rooney
“I was completely convinced of playing him tomorrow. I’m not sure if I do that because with the situation that you create to him I think he really can’t afford to have a performance that is not really good and I am here to protect him and have to analyse the best thing for him. If he is not totally ready for it, I will discuss that with the medical staff.”


Martial is available
“He’s now recovered from the contusion - not the concussion. He has recovered and he is ready for tomorrow.”


Jose: "If we win tomorrow it will be 3 wins in a week. So if we win, I will wait & see if the media reaction is the same as when we lost 3"
 
Mourinho: "At Chelsea Mata was a good player. At Manchester United, he is a very very good player."

Mourinho on Mata:"My job is not buy and sell, my job is to coach and advise my board about the transfer policy."
