I was thinking about the teams in the Top4 - excluding Liverpool as I don’t think any of our lot get near their 11 - and whether those teams would want any of our players. So I put them into the following categories - and I’m being as brutal as a neutral would be.
Get in any team:
Kane
Son
Good Top4 Players:
NDombele
Lloris
Hojberg
Toby
Regillion
Average Players:
Winks
Sisokko
Aurier
Doherty
Davies
Dier
Dele
Bergwijn
Vinicius
Lo Celso
Lamela
I could be argued into moving Dier up - but would any other Top4 team want him? Not sure.
I could also be argued into moving GLC up but is he any better than some of those Wolves midfielders? Would Leicester want him instead of Maddison?
Would he get into Utd’s midfield? I just don’t think he does enough, often enough - shows glimpses and then gets injured.
I anticipate being told GLC, Aurier, Dele & Dier are better than average but I think you have to step back and think whether they’d improve other teams.
The Squad

It's futile anyway under a manager who doesn't want to play on the front foot. Dele will be leaving us while Jose is here.
Honestly, Sherwood would be getting more out of this team right now, like when he last took us over and got more out of the attacking players.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tim Sherwood???!!! I'm dead.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Presumably you think Jose is a better manager than Ole? When Ole took over United they went on a long unbeaten run after looking poor and disinterested for a while. I think it would be the same now with us. Players would feel released from no longer being under the cloud of Jose.
I'll give him a little more time but things have to change and fast.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Jose has been in charge for over a year.
To change the loser and bottler mentality from the previous manager takes time. He will get it from and more importantly Daniel Levy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Did Poch ever bottle a 3 goal lead in the last 10 minutes?

Probably not but he got the sack anyway. Rightly so too.

I fear this mindset, if its not a wum, is going to cause you a lot of pain.
Once he starts blaming all unsundry and digging players out in the media, it's over.
Just the inevitable carnage off the pitch and sterile negativity on it to come.

And so will Jose if he doesn't change things. He's lucky there are no fans in the stadium to watch this drivel. There'd be boos every match.

Is really simple.
1. A quality dominating CB, who can win headers consistently at set pieces.
2. A quality MF player who can run a game, similar to Fernandes at Utd.
3. Unfortunately we still need a reliable RB. Aurier way too reckless and, regrettably, Doherty is not the answer.

And another striker
We thought we got one but Jose seems to cbs with him already

1. Rodon could be good - needs games, shame he missed Europa
2. Totally agree - wasn’t GLC supposed to be the one? Can’t NDombele?
3. Aurier much improved but still gets my heart in my mouth

We should try for Skriniar and Brozovic in January, them two would improve us.
I can see us going after Eriksen though, I have a feeling he will return.

Eriksen would be a bad idea IMO
