I think you are right and we would only buy if one of those RVP style unmissable opportunities came up e.g Bale and Mbappe.
OR someone left. e.g Martia, Mata.
Slightly worried, but if Alexis steps up this season like the player we seen at Arsenal, then that could make the difference.
Even more concerned with our players returning from the WC may not be fully fit come the start of the season
Left back, RW and CB are a massive concern. We are a million miles behind city
Shaw and Young at LB
Rashford or Martial on RW

Eurghhhh both Shaw and Young are not good enough, it's bad enough Valencia is useless but having both full back positions filled with average players isn't a good start.
Neither Martial or Rashford have excelled on the right so that's worrying.
Bailly needs to keep fit. Lindelof looks promising but it's still only potential, Rojo is a decent back up but the other 2 have had far too many chances, cannot believe they are still at the club.
Sanchez been refused entry into the US because of his suspended prison sentence for tax avoidance.

Good enough for what ?
Think you might be right RDD. Also agree that I’d still have faith in Mourinho to bore us to a top 4 finish.
Get Rashford or Martial on that right wing and stick with them regardless of how badly they start!

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here, people. How many times do I have to say it.
Jose hasn't played with a RW for a 100 game tenure with United. Why do they think he's going to start doing so now?

That's not what people are saying.
They aren't saying we'll bring in Willian, then play with a right winger.
They are saying we should start with Rashford or Martial on the right next season and give them a run of games there.
Regardless, if we signed Willian, where do you think he'd play Robb? Do you think we'd see him hugging the touchline, taking on defenders on the outside and whipping crosses in?

He’d play on the right side of a 4-3-3 and bring more width than we normally see there.
When exactly did Jose say he wanted to take Willian to United and if he did would that not constitute tapping up?
Jose said...
"But honestly, I enjoyed a lot, and who knows we can have a Brazilian in the squad next year.
“I don't believe it will be Willian, because Chelsea won't make it possible."
It’s no secret Jose would love Willian at United. He’s probably off to Barca though
We have since signed a Brazilian. Maybe He was specifically asked about Willian.

...and because for 100 games we haven't offered any threat down the right and as a result we are easy to defend against. Unless we are going to buy Trippier, we need to focus on RW as a priority. The side is unbalanced.
