This I would like. Would allow Herrera to push on and press higher, also allows Pogba to play his more natural left side of a central 3. Early talk of Verrati from PSG but I suspect that is agents driving the price up.

Verrati would be amazing but I suspect he'll go to Barca if they can afford it. He's exactly the player they need

I think we'd keep 3 at the back for the occasional tactical surprise but I'd be surprised if we used it regularly. Nice to have the option though
Would you trust Rojo long term? I wanted him sold before his long term injury
He was lucky to get away with at least two straight reds last season, and he is still prone to big mistakes
Back three is definitely the way to go imo just not sure its Rojo that should be the 3rd man
Would really like Fabinho, but I keep on seeing Matic's name being mentioned which is very concerning

Rojo was fantastic last season for us, even taking into account the two reds he should have had. Possibly the most improved player under Jose.

Herrera was always good, he just wasn't valued by the two idiots before Jose. I don't think he's improved that much, just been picked consistently. Most improved for me is Valencia and Rojo.

I trust Rojo more than I do Smalling and or Jones. I know it seems the fashionable thing to have the downer on Smalling but I genuinely believe he played above his station under LVG. Jones is just too injury prone to be a consistent defender for us
I would agree with Valencia - and just because Rojo has improved a lot actually doesn't say anything about how good he was to start with / how much he had to improve to catch up with the team in the first place
FYI - even Jose didn't believe in Herrera at the start of the season, otherwise he would have picked him more in the first few months- it was only after about Oct he started regularly.
So that makes you automatically right - yes? less said about that the better.
I agree totally about Smalling and Jones - but just because they deserve to go doesn't mean Rojo doesn't as well. He isn't anywhere near Utd quality, and after this long its unlikely he ever will be
Anyone think bringing Lukaku back is a mistake, I agree with getting rid of Costa now but he is a great footballer whereas Lukaku is a bit hit and miss and for that money I'd rather gamble on Belotti or Morata.
Rumours suggest Verratti is close to joining as is Bonucci if we can agree a Matic + cash deal with Juventus, both would be huge signings.

I remember when Lukaku absolutely destroyed United a few seasons ago, brings shudders to remember it, but hes very hot and cold and is extremely lazy on the pitch, no way is he worth 100mil

Saturday evening. Morata is apparently pretty close, we could hear something in the next 48 hours.
reports saying Chelsea have (re) started their chase for Morata with a 75m euro offer, would be cheaper than Lukaku but not out of the realms of possibility that Conte wants both
(obviously might be harder to convince the 2nd one to sign but not too difficult

Do Arsenal really want two flair players (inc Ozil) who have been accused of not working for the team in the past?
Will Arsene actually pay £60m+ for any player, I know he was meant to have bid more for Mbappe but as that wasnt likely to come off there was no danger in him being found out either
I just think if Arsenal does not sign a big name this summer people will start the season on a big downer again and if we lose a game or two the entitled/glory hunting fans will be out calling for wengers head again at the start of our campaign instead waiting until the end. I can see them next wanting to pay space x or someone to paint "wenger out" on the side of their rocket or something...Do Arsenal really want two flair players (inc Ozil) who have been accused of not working for the team in the past?
