I think the one thing we all agree on is that we are a LB/RB and Striker away from being a squad.
Personally I don't think we will sign Grealish now, we have George and Johnson so although better for a season or so - long term it is to the detrimental of the other two.
Midfield we actually look very strong, great competition for places and more and more players comfortable with the ball at their feet.
Centre Backs we are fine. Moyes likely won't play the players we want but we have depth and talent.
Striker we keep Barry, sell Beto - but suspect we will have both this season and address next season.
Left back, don't think either are the answer. Aznou looks more like a wing back or winger and Myko is just hopelessly average but don't think we will sign anyone here.
Right Back, I worry we dither and use it to keep giving minutes to players to keep them happy (Rohl/O'Brien/Garner) but if we do sign anyone I hope it's Munoz as him and Ndiaye would give other teams a lot to think about.

Rashford anyone.?? With Moyes Utd contacts, a cheeky bid, loan to buy, or straight loan option. It's worth the gamble.
{Ed025's Note - not for me Steve, we have Illy, George, Brennan, Dibbling and Armstrong who can play out wide mate...plus he comes with a lot of baggage, we need to concentrate on a RB and a forward for me mate..

Think with Utd getting Champions League football, Rashford's wages have gone up to £450 grand a week or something like that. It's a no from me.

I see the squad going into the season as:
GKs:
Pickford
B - Travers
B - King
Defs:
Aznou
B - Myko
Brainthwaite
O'Brien/Tarks
B - Tarks/O'Brien
B - Keane
Rohl
B - O'Brien
Mids:
Norgaard
Garner
B - Hackney
B - Tim
B - Rohl
KDH
B - Alcaraz
B - Armstrong
George
Ndiaye
B - Johnson
B - Dibling
Fwds:
Beto/Barry
B - Beto/Barry
B - Graham
The RB position really needs sorting as it's the weakest position along with striker.
Think that squad has 24 names in it and we can name 25. Armstrong and Graham are under 21 so I don't think they count towards the 25 making it 22. Not sure if those turning 21 are included or if they are treated as under 21s (sure there are others on here who know more than me) . Add a RB, LB and Striker and it'll take us to 25.
