Or, and im just spitballing here, we dont make this happen, we keep the best LB in the league and we go for someone else. Strengthening the 2 Manchester sides in one window is nothing more than plain stupidity and is extremely spursy. If Martial means Rose as a makeway, we are fucking stupid if we make that deal. Especially since we clearly plan on sticking with the 3421
We're also signing Foyth apparently. So that leaves us with 7 CB's including Wimmer and Dier. 5 if we sell Wimmer and Dier moves to DM full time.Do we though? Sanchez signing suggests as much but if Martial came in we would have such an adaptable squad we could easily switch between the two formations at will. More adaptable tactically.
Kane
Martial Alli Eriksen
Looks insanely good to me. With Son as impact sub! Plus this is all based on every player being fit and on form.
In 3-4-2-1 may be more difficult unless Eriksen drops into CM. Decent way to chase a game too.
Full backs are huge in the current game but I'm a lot more confident of us raising one to Rose's level, less so a player in Martial's ilk.
The reason this could be a rare swap deal that works is because it's a tough deal for both sides, big upside but at a cost. Utd fans would be screwing if we got Martial off of them for example...

only way a transfer involving Utd works is if we got Martial and Shaw for Rose.....think Jose would chicken out of that one even though it would probably get him the league this year
When Jose is saying he wants a lwb to complete his squad...then he's pretty important.As much as I rate Rose, he's certainly not the missing piece for Utd that would suddenly transform them into League winners.
Class reply£50 to SC if it happens - I'll be quite happy to be proved clueless!
That's still a squad that's not going to win the league though... not saying they don't badly need one (a LWB - and Danny obviously fits the bill), but for me, they're a few upgrades away from being title contenders.When Jose is saying he wants a lwb to complete his squad...then he's pretty important.

I don't think it's far off, Their line up is incredibly balanced compared to others.That's still a squad that's not going to win the league though... not saying they don't badly need one (a LWB - and Danny obviously fits the bill), but for me, they're a few upgrades away from being title contenders.
If we can do Shaw and Martial for Rose and £20 million that would work. Shaw was amazing under Poch and Martial could be amazing under Poch as well.
Could be worse. It could be Sissoko.Case in point - Felanni's about to come on.
Looks like we'd rather push for Sessegnon over Shaw, but I agree in principal.
Rumours Utd are moving in on Lemar now, could help this further!
When you do not have a clue it is best to choose your words of wisdom wisely.
