----------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Perreira and Ighalo
We have
5 keepers
12 defenders
11 midfielders
5 forwards One of whom is in Germany
And one leaving at Christmas.
I think that shows where we should be looking to buy
_________
The question is, though, which keeper should we be after?
Where is Pereira going? Is that when his contract has run its course?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
He answered two questions at once, hence a bit of confusion.
Fifth-choice keeper = Joel Pereira
Leaving at Christmas/Jan = Ighalo
5 forwards One of whom is in Germany
-----------------------
It takes time to move house from Borussia to Manchester. He will be here for our opening game
even within these numbers, there are some baffling discrepancies - eg we have 7 senior CBs (not counting TFM or Mengi), and only 2 senior FBs (maybe we can count TFM here? Ole doesn't look like he wants to count Dalot).
Think rojo and smalling are training separately, but as of today they are both still at the club.

Thanks. Still early in the morning for my brain to work this $hit out for myself.
I'm assuming Dan James is listed as a midfielder rather than a forward, which is questionable given that he plays in either Rashford's or Greenwood's position. So we still have five forwards once they remember to remove Chong. This does nothing to undermine 52's point though.

Thanks VC
Yeah, even if we do get Sancho I feel we're a bit light there.
Some paper talk today about a Smalling/Perisic swap with Inter, which i don't think would be a bad shout (on top of another starting winger of course)

Brandon and Dalot must be considered senior fullbacks.
Neither will turn out for the U23s again.
Despite all those defenders, we don't even have a proper partner for Maguire who himself, is hardly elite.
Despite all those midfielders, we still don't have a proper replacement for Matic or Pogba if either gets injured.
In our entire squad, we have one proper winger and he was playing in the Championship not long ago. Does our board not see this or do they only desire headline signings to bump up our stock price?
What is Bruno listed as do we think? Forward or midfielder?

I would say it is very debatable considering he plays between the two positions.

So are defensive mids defenders or midfielders then?

I’m inclined to agree but Rosso & VC think differently.
He’s an attacking midfielder imo, not a forward.
Anyway, yes setting out the numbers like that mu52 certainly does demonstrate a shortcoming. Hopefully between the ones we have we still do well this season.
Like you said, he's an attacking MIDFIELDER. If Bruno is considered a forward, then so should Lingard and Perreira.

Depends on the role they are asked to play, doesn’t it?
Andreas has played off the right in the same role as Greenwood and Mata previously. Is he a midfielder when he plays there, or a forward?
Bruno has a heatmap that looks very similar to Firmino’s. Is Firmino a midfielder?
People can classify Bruno as a midfielder if they like. The label against his name isn’t important in itself.
The fact is that role he plays for Ole - in his defensive duties (or lack thereof), his positioning and the zones he plays in, his movement, and ultimately his contributions with the ball - is that of a forward, and not a midfielder.
