If we don't get any more, preferably a marquee signing then the likes of Fred and Tom need to come to the party as supermen or the tail end of the season might just be like last season and we all know how unpleasant that was.

I just think the midfield is short on experience and even personnel.

Let's wait and see sha.

let me just chip in some things here.
The same way it is difficult to prove the existence of heaven so it is to prove the existence of fixing matches. Stakeholders in football have diverse benefits they look forward to.
Spectators want to enjoy the game. They pay

Footballers want to make money. They are paid

Club owners want to make money. They are paid

Refereees want to make money. They are paid

Bettin companies want to make money. So they pursuade spectators to go the extra mile to gamble.

If you are yet to see the picture, then let me go a bit further...

All other stakeholders are banking on the spectators' money to keep on going. They want to get more money from spectators through gambling.

A match between mancity (1.20) vs wolves (7.30)
The bookmaker expects 95% of gamblers to go for mancity. However, the bookmakers by virtue of their stake in the game have been given just one game in 380 games to influence. They communicate with the FA that this is the game they want to use to wreck the stakers. The FA calls in a trusted executioner (professional referee) who is aware of the job at hand.

All the executioner needs to do is to discourage mancity players and encourage wolves players with the manner he goes about with the officiating. The slim chance of wolves winning in suddenly increased by his actions. At the end of the day, the spectators and stakera will yell any or a mixture of the lines below:

The referee killed the match
The referee is madt
The officiating was poor
The penalty awarded to wolves was not worth it
Mancity should have gotten two penalties
Wolves defender should have seen red
That mancity defender's tackle was not a red card offence
The wolves striker dived but referee signal led a penalty
The mancity striker was wrongly accused and booked for diving.

At the end of the day, wolves wins, the bookmakers have taken their place pound of flesh for the season and mancity will be given the three points back either by:
Favoring them in a future match or
Making their rivals go through such nightmare too at a point in time within the 38 game days.

This is just to let you have a brief idea of how technically easy it is for those who are paid to swindle those who are paying by conspiring together.

Ahmed Musa is 26 years old. Jesse Lingard is 26 years old. Think about that.

8f we are serious about selling Pogba, we should finish our signings first if not clubs will inflate the prices of their players if we come calling. It's already happening, now imagine what it will be like if these clubs know we have over a 100m after the sale of Pogba.

Juventus have been looking at the possibility of signing Romelu Lukaku in the last few hours.
