CB's

Maguire is good enough
Smalling as back up

Jones & Bailly are a pair of walking catastrophe’s, capable of good displays but will ultimately blow up, so with that in mind, need selling along with Rojo

Axel needs an opportunity to prove himself, but we need a partner for the slab

Oh I forgot Lindelof - He’s $hiit

PL sides playing in European competition need five CBs. That isn’t even up for debate.

Given that we cannot rely on Jones or Bailly, both of whom have demonstrated repeatedly that they cannot stay fit, and that Smalling looks to be leaving, we probably need two over the next 24 months.

I’d be hoping for one top draw CB to partner Maguire sooner rather than later, and another to bolster the squad as the three above are turned over.

Maguire
New partner
Lindelof
Tuanzebe
One more

Ole likes Lindelof, so he’ll be partnering Maguire again I reckon, unless Bailly miraculously manages to stay fit.

We’ll be pouring all our resources into the attack this summer.

Yep; I think that’s how it’ll go.

Maguire is not good enough if you want to play a high line defence. He is good for a top 4 finish but not if you want to win the league and champions league.

He is good in a low block system which wants to play on the counter attack.

Cb, dm and probably a lb next summer I reckon.

Tuanzebe has all the tools to be a top player but seems to be a bit of a sicknote.

Was starting to make a name for himself but then got injured in the warm up vs Liverpool I think when he was due to start and has barely been fit since.

Maguire and Lindelof

Beyond them 2 it's pretty average / unreliable so I'd take advantage of the current situation and sign a CB this Summer.

People say about the attack but we have plenty there I'd say

Pogba, Fernandes Pereira, Mata, Sanchez, Martial, Rashford, Greenwood, James.

I reckon we’ll be keeping an eye on Ben White to see how he does in the prem next season. Many expect him to be the next top English cb. Liverpool might get him, though.
