    Well yeah, we're good for full backs now anyway.

    Shame that Dalot seems set to leave - he was showing some promise.

    Since when?

    I would have thought he's a good option further forward, as well as being reserve right back.

    We need cover for Luke Shaw, but I doubt that’s a priority for this summer.

    We should be looking at this fabian Ruiz kid from Spain, he is tough in the tackle, has good positioning, good close control and a great shot (with both feet).
    Never heard of him before the U21 WC but have seen him play each game for Spain, in the SF he hit the woodwork 3 times from distance and scored 1 from distance. In the final he has just scored another from distance, get a bid in :grin:

    Fabian just had another shot that the keeper couldn't hold leading to Olmo getting a tap in, the guy is good. Spain 2 - 0 Germany

    I was chatting to a bloke a few days ago, Palace supporter and has been watching them for 60 years. Wan Bissaka's name came up
    and this guy said (after watching WB many times) that he is the best FB he has ever seen. I questioned if he meant young FB, he said
    nope, best of any age. This guy rates TAA aswell but reckons WB is better. Interesting point of view I thought.

    Manolas looks like he’s off to Napoli which could mean Koulibaly becomes available.

    Defensively he probably is better but nowhere near going forward. The best thing I've seen with Wan Bissaka is his ability to shrug off mistakes and to keep working and get himself into a game if he's struggling, very good signing.

    Wan Bissaka is one of those players who I see as very talented but my only concern looking at him is whether he can step up and handle the expectation and pressure at a big club like United. If he takes on the position and makes it his own, I have no doubt he'll be the muts nuts, but is a big if.

    I don't think it'll bother him, seems very grounded and willing to work hard, needs to up his game going forward but he's young and that'll come.

    His cross completion rate was better than TAA last season mate.

    Probably says more about your forwards vs Palace’s forwards.

    I’m not sure, let’s give him a good season before we start comparing him to players who’ve won big trophies.

    If word is true, United are meeting with Pogba this week to discuss his future and are also discussing the need for a centre half.

    Big week in that case.

    I reckon Pogba will want to go so they must get rid quickly if he does. Sean Longstaff and Bruno Fernandes, plus those we already have (including Sanchez) can fill any gap left by Pogba.

    If he wants to stay then great, make him focal point of the team and get on with it, while having to get rid of Sanchez. Unlikely though.

    The other is get rid of Lukaku and bring in any replacement. This Ben Yedder seems to be the next one in line, don't know much about him at all.

    Lyon trying to sign Bailly according to reports. We have to take advantage of Ndombele if that’s the case, Bailly is absolutely surplus here now.
