Really don't think he's the significant upgrade that would fix our issues. More of an expensive incremental improvement.Dumfries would be good to solve our RWB issue if Inter need to sell

Being linked with McKennie and Amrabat makes me wonder if Conte wants one more in the midfield for times when we go with 3, or if he's looking for an improvement/replacement for Skipp.
Skipp's had a tough year with injuries and getting back up to speed, and out of the 4 CMs we have, he's probably received the fewest minutes. Not what I would do in my personal opinion, I just can't help but wonder with the links.
Skipp will likely prove his worth after the World Cup with more time to get himself fit again. He’s had a really shit year, I think this break to just focus on his game and getting into condition will do him goodBeing linked with McKennie and Amrabat makes me wonder if Conte wants one more in the midfield for times when we go with 3, or if he's looking for an improvement/replacement for Skipp.

I would stop wondering about "links". Those links can come from anywhere - often from the player's side (i.e. agent), or the selling club trying to create interest. Not all links mean Spurs are actively pursuing a player
Can't see Paratici staying if Pochettino comes in. Which for me is a big blow because despite his questionable decisions on managers, he's clearly in the process of overhauling the scouting set up. Poch would likely tear that all down again.Would that be the same Poch who didn't want a DoF when he was here?
I'm not sure that his spell at PSG would've changed his mind either.
The point of having Paratici is that not only is he here to find players, he also has a say in the managerial appointments.
If Poch were to come back it's all down to a bromance between him and Levy.
I can't see it happening at all.
If levy fucks over Conte for Poch, he's also fucking Paratici off.
Not the kind of character you want at the club. He has been convicted of domestic violence.I doubt it's realistic but Kingsley Coman is a good player who's in and out of the starting eleven at Bayern but has 1 goal and 4 assists in 500 minutes in the Bundesliga. He has a high valuation at Transfermarkt and renewed this summer IIRC, but I wouldn't be too surprised if he moves to another club within the next two seasons. Couldn't he be a great addition to our side?
I think his rekindled form and hunger for football will earn him a new contract at United to be honest. Otherwise, yeah, I think he'd be a very good shout for us.Wonder if we could tempt Marcus Rashford into coming in to be part of the next generation front 3 and have Rashford, Richarlison, Kulusevski. Would get plenty of time on the pitch as he can play all across the front line and could take over from Son in a year or 2 as the main man on the left and play up top with Kane until then and with Richarlison in a 2 once we move on from Kane and Son.
No one wants it to happen but it’s probably around now we need to start planning for life without Son and Kane. Rashford is out of contract this summer with United
Yeah, hes on big money too already. Unless he wants a change, I can see him signing a big new contract. If he goes, hell either go abroad to a big club or the only team I can see paying the wages etc is Chelsea, (who he would go to being a untied lad)I think his rekindled form and hunger for football will earn him a new contract at United to be honest.

Do agree with you, but lacks pace like DierJoachim Andersen feels like a realistic and excellent option for CCB. Just looks absolutely class whenever I watch him. Reads the game well and has great passing range and touch.
Is that the same Joachim we passed up on before he went to Fulham and then before he felt glad all over ?Joachim Andersen feels like a realistic and excellent option for CCB. Just looks absolutely class whenever I watch him. Reads the game well and has great passing range and touch.
Can’t agree with this. Dumfries has all the attributes including one of the best goal and assist stats in a top tier team out there. Porro is a good shout but is coming from a much weaker league. Frimpong isn’t much above Spence’s current level IMO and doesn’t seem like a Conte signing.Spot on.
We would still be left with a RWB who isn't a great crosser, isn't great at dribbling 1 on 1 and isn't a particularly good passer of the ball.
We should be going for Frimpong at Leverkusen or Porro at Sporting if we want a new RWB. They are probably the two best options out there. Both offer big upgrades on certain attributes in the RWB area.
