Would love this to be true but Paul Jiggins is down there with the worst when it comes to indiscriminate lying.

Not my cup of tea tbh looking at his stats you can’t argue but looking at his stature and build and speed he’ll be found out imo

Think he could become our Shaqiri if that makes any sense, don’t think he’d push for a starting birth much but definitely could do worse for back up.
But Brooks on the other hand looks a real talent, Poch could work wonders with him.

Have to agree, I think Fraser would be very much a fringe player for us. Brooks, Lo Celso is what we need

Brooks + Lo Celso leaves Dele in a bit of a quandry.

Check out how 'sick' Brooks' header is at 5'25"

Not really. I think both would be great signings, but Dele is better than Brooks and only a year older than him, while Lo Celso is a different type of player. All would be great to have in the squad though.

When did having too many quality players in a squad became a problem ?
If someone excels and takes your position in starting eleven, then you'll have to get your head down, work your arse off and show the manager he was wrong.
So many times I read "but what will happen to insert name if we sign insert name"
Two minutes later, lo and behold, people are complaining about squad depth and the lack of quality.
We need to get the best we can get for every position in the starting eleven, followed by either an equal talent or the next best to fill the squad in order to rotate and compete for said position.
You only have to look at this past season to see how injuries can hamper a team's ability to rotate and rest players.
We need as good a quality as we can get right through the squad, and I'm sure there'll be enough minutes for everyone to feel they're wanted and needed.
COYS!

When I wrote that I was assuming Brooks would start in AM 10 role - as would Lo Celso - since discovered from the video above he's more a Right Winger. Didn't realise.When did having too many quality players in a squad became a problem ?

Couldn't agree more and i feel Dele needs this kind of kick up the arse to get the best out of him, he is a winner and would hate for someone to come in and take his postion. Win win for us if we can pick up this type of squad depth / quality.

Lamela's future is probably most at risk.

Good luck for opposing teams with him and Dele in the same line up.
Pipe dreams and all that.

We only have so much room in the squad though, especially for overseas players. I just hope it's not Eriksen who leaves.

I’m not sure squads are assembled on the principals of being best friends
