That doesn’t necessarily mean we prioritised the defence over other areas though.

From an attacking and entertainment point of view though I could live with that for now. Perhaps even a diamond will be used with Pogba LM and Bruno at the tip. Two of Matic, Fred and McT for the other positions. Slimani, of course, leading the line up front. We would need more from our full backs though
----------------------------------------------
I don't see the point in signing Slimani, even as an extra body.
We don't play in a way that suits his strengths and we don't have many good crossers of the ball.
Surely there's somebody out there more mobile who's profile is more in line with what we're missing in Rashford.
It's probably too late for us to start negotiating for a striker but who knows. If/when we complete the signing of Bruno, it might give Judge and Woodward a bit of swagger.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I was joking with Slimani in there and, as you say, not the kind of player that is a Rashford substitute. He may offer an alternative though and an aeriel threat in the box could be good against teams who defend deep against us.
That doesn’t necessarily mean we prioritised the defence over other areas though.
-----------------------------------------------
What else could it possibly mean though?
Seeing as we spent most of the window pursuing two defenders for £125 million, I'd say that statement is bang on.
1982 is taking the piiiiiiiss out of dunc, who said we didn’t prioritise the defence this summer.
