Message: [QUOTE="The True King, post: 3664549, member: 9651"] Not a united fan, but as a rival I'll try to be objective. Overall I think it's a step in the right direction. Hard to really gauge because it was only a few seasons ago that you guys signed Varane, Ronaldo, Sancho after finishing 2nd and everyone thought it would propel you into the title race, which didn't eventuate. This summer has obviously been lower profile names, but smart signings in terms of the technical quality you've brought in. They're adaptable players regardless of the manager situation. Zirkzee is the closest thing I've seen to Bobby Firmino, he won't be prolific but he's a versatile player and as another poster said, he gives you a few different tactical options. Yoro I won't comment, I need to see more and despite the glowing reports on his potential, we've seen this sort of signing before. Ugarte I'm not so high on but he will suit ETH style of play. He can break up play and protect your back 4. You'll be relying on other players to move the ball quickly and to break lines in transition but Ugarte is a good defensive player for a counter attacking system. De Ligt is interesting, great technical player and its a cross-roads for his career, I think he'll have a point to prove and be a good long term signing. Mazraoui just needs to stay fit, plenty of quality but I am not convinced he's any sort of upgrade on Dalot. Although the signing may inadvertently fix your LB issue. I don't know much about Kone or if he's ready. I think the big positive is you've avoided the Chelsea discards and players with huge wage demands. The scariest part though (if I was a United fan) is that the majority of the fan base are saying that signings still needed. Onana, Malacia, Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Mount, Hojlund, Zirkzee, Malacia, Eriksen, Yoro, Casemiro, Antony, Ugarte.. that's at least 14 senior players this manager has signed and we're still talking about needing players and that top 4 is going to be touch and go.
