    That's fair.

    It's also fair to say that if we had never had Lovren and had Youth options and a multi-talented player on the books, we probably wouldn't see bringing in a centre-back on his wages and age bracket to be 4th choice, which is what he had become, plus we have been able to provide quality in depth at left-back now and the young players have one less hurdle to helping out our future.

    It's goals from midfield we need. If Mane and Salah suddenly dry up, we'll be in trouble. Not one of our midfielders get anywhere near double figures.
    If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just put it in the net, and we'll talk about the other options later... Bob Paisley.

    I bet Fernandes at United came pretty close to it, and he only signed in january, even though he takes the penalties. Just checked his stats. 14 apps 8 goals 7 assists.

    22 appearance in all comps, 12 goals.

    Was able to find 7 goals that were penalties - could be more, could be that 7 is bang on.

    So 5 non-penalty goals maximum. Not said to belittle him in any way, think he's a decent enough player, but he definitely rides the hype train a bit.

    He hasn't started banging in the 25 yarders with a bit of regularity yet. Ill bet he gets 15 goals and 10 assists at least this season injuries permitting.

    I'm sure he will. People were raving about him until he chose to join United.

    If they carry on getting penalties at the rate they did this season he is a shoe in for the golden boot !

    I think he looks a great player to be honest. But feck me it didn't take him long to start throwing himself to the floor at the slightest touch. Refs buying it too even with var
