We need at least 2. And they would have to be our starters since Martinez is always injured. 🌝
Antonio silva Good player but for the price. 35m Todibo, 45m CB from Juventus. Two CB for the 78m without even arguing about transfer fees.
Bremer is what we need juventus don’t play Barca football . But a player with his physicality and speed would help us press high. Turn faster away from danger, Brazilian so he know a thing or two about quick passes. Todibo is lovely player that could do load more in possession but I think a general in defence and Martinez would be striking top that with Onana in deeper midfield like Rice ain’t no way shit going through
At least 1? Nah, United need at least 3 new CB – 2 starting CB (one right footed, one left footed) and a left footed CB as a cover. We can't rely on Licha anymore. He had 2 major injuries, too risky to put all our hope on him. Just look at Shaw. Instead, use Licha as a utility player just like John O'Shea or Daley Blind to cover 3 positions – CB, LB & DM. Obviously if he is fit, he should start at any of these positions, but his playing time should be managed.
However, knowing how badly United are run, I doubt United will get 2, let alone 3 new CB. They might sign 1 and keep Maguire, Evans and Lindelof. And then they blame the manager for not challenging for the title when City have at least 4 world class CB at their disposal. 2022-23 season, City had Ruben Dias, John Stones, Nathan Ake, Aymeric Laporte, Akanji.
In my opinion we need someone who is physical and dominant in the air to compliment Martinez. Got to have a good balance!
Wasnt thi yesterday
You could do a varane analysis maybe, i think many including myself would like to hear what he does on the pitch in dept
Bro did scouting for Man City
Great stuff as usual AJ.
At what point do we start to consider an LCB to CHALLENGE Licha?
I earnestly hope he doesn’t give us Shaw availability numbers.
Out of the above options, take the 2 which are least injury prone. Obviously, we can't measure that but for eg. De Ligt has had injury problems so let's not go there. Availability is the most important factor.
I am sure no one would doubt that if we had Licha fit for most of the season, we would have atleast the same points tally as Villa
We should grab Bremer, we have no physical presence in our team with speed
Appreciate the video but if we go for RB we will still need back up for Martinez. Todibo could be a replacement RB/RCB, allowing AWB, Maguire, Varane all to leave. This frees up a lot of salary too for a new RCB and LCB 2nd.
Diomande of sporting is the main ideal upgrade not this guys, diomande plays with ease from the back just like Saliba
Silva is too slow to play alongside martinez,that's just factual and isn't aerially that dominant yet to cover for an aerial liability like licha,same to todibo,he gets beaten too often in the air and his aerial clearances are usually weak,not a big problem but alongside licha will be one,we need physicality in defence plus a new lcb btw,a player who,s had three major injuries already irregardless of ur opinion on him cannot be relied upon
Doesnt need to be a world-beater, we dont need the second coming of VVD. Just a head-down, no-nonsense CB who can consistently grind out 50 games a season for us without complaining. If Licha continues to prove he's made of glass / ETH leaves, we'll probably have to find a replacement for him too and maybe then we can consider someone to build a defense around.
We should only be looking at left footed players. We need an alternative to Licha. Love the guy but we need cover – learn from mistakes!
Get Calafiori from bologna. Dude has it all
You're spot on for Bremer… Wouldn't be my choice because of his quality on the ball.
Fantastic AJ i enjoyed your video if ETH wants to implement his tactics successfully he needs a fast ballpalying defender. that means Diomande and todibo are our best options on this list
I would pick Diamonde since we also need a good header of the ball as well as his other strenghts. Looks great! Also I think United 2 new CBs instead of Maguire and Lindelof and Todibo would be my second choice. United should also be able to get him cheap because INEOS is selling to INEOS.
My top three options for the right sided cb position would be
1. Todibo
2. Kevin Danso
3. Bremer
All affordable options and have the skills required.
1 CB signing is a must but we also require a left footed defender maybe 1 that can play cb and also left back like shaw does but an upgrade. For this I would go for Toti Gomes as the priority as hes quick, physical, versatile and pretty good on the ball. Would allow martinez to play central in back 3 in possesion.
Scalvini
2 main strengths needed is Ariel ability and pace as we want to play a high line and someone who's dominant in the air to play beside Martinez 🤔
We ideally need a left footed CB like Branthwaite or even Inacio. Infact we could sign new CB's with Varane, Evans potentially leaving on a free & Maguire & Lindelof being sold.
Antonio silva needs a year or two before leaving Benfica.
Lisandro should be that second player in the pairing with mainoo!!! We need 3 new CBs
Lucumi,Todibo and Branthwaithe
Todibo should be a certain one, we might do that we can get one more defender
Considering the amount of offloading and signings we need:- ST, RW, 2 CMs, RB…..two CBs look realistic.
My dream 24/25 defence would be.
Martinez Todibo
Branthwaite Varane
– But if Saudi comes in for varane with big money, I'd take it. And buy Antonio Silva.
