Phew, bit of a read that, Don.
The fact that all three of them are better in the transition's why we're crap against teams that sit deep. It'll probably be Rashford or Martial next year, not both in the same game.
Apart from getting his left’s and right’s mixed up a few times, good article.Non of them are budding centre forwards .

one to save for 2pm tomorrow methinks!
personally i'd hang onto tony for now, i'm not generally a fan of selling players when their stock is low, and his value probably halved last season, though he wasn't quite as awful as some might claim (per 90 minutes he was less productive than cavani or rashford, but more so than bruno or greenwood).
i thought he was our best player in the 19/20 season, and i was starting to think (fooled) that he might be able to be more of a penalty box poacher, i remember 2 first-time finishes from crosses in the hat-trick vs sheffield united, but they were brief flashes. and given how frequently ole mentions working on this kind of poaching, his patience may now be wearing thin.
but martial's a better link-up player than most of our forwards, so might be a bigger beneficiary of sancho coming in, he says hopefully?
Doesnt really add anything new to the conversation.
All 3 are better wide, coming inside.

No idea who you are mate, so let's keep it on topic.
Thanks for sharing that DDD. It certainly raises questions about the three players that are more interesting than 'are they good enough'? One additional dimension that could perhaps mitigate their unsuitability for specific roles is interchangeability. If our forwards work on collective movement patterns that mean they aren't consistently fixed in left / right / centre roles, then you don't necessarily need a stereotypical CF in the mix. You'd still want Cavani's movement to rub off on all of them though.

Bruno’s a midfielder, not our number 9.

he's really not, we generally play 4-2-3-1, and he's in the 3, not the 2...no one would call rashford or greenwood midfielders, so no idea why they call our no.10 a midfielder
