After watching Swansea tonight Mawson is exactly the sort of CB we should be going for:

Young
Physically strong
Quick
Good header of the ball

Moyes is supposedly interested and lets face it he's got a fantastic eye for a defender (Coleman, Jagielka, Baines, Stones, Distin)

Coleman Keane Mawson Bryan

Alot of pace, energy and youth in that back 4 and the pair would only cost about £30-35 million combined Which isnt alot in the current market.

Yes mate, let’s through more money at Swansea. It’s worked well in the past like

SIGN A LEFT BACK

^^^ First

It's outrageous to be honest that we haven't even been seriously linked with ANY left backs. Unbelievable. It's like us playing with Robles up front, him playing terrible every game, and nobody batting an eyelid.

Seems to be the grand plan this season.

Robles not up front, but in goal. Pickford to left back

Wish we could get Fellaini back. He’d make such a difference for us.

I, for one, would appreciate Robles getting a chance over Martina at any position.

Suggested this a few weeks ago, would suit Big Sam's tactics and give us physicality in the midfield

We don't need physicality in midfield, we need someone to get the ball and control the play!

Still believe we should rip the squad to completely and stop pandering to players who potentially could make a good team. They don't, clearly they can't all play together so actually move some on.

Get a new manager in the summer and back him to make his team. Forget Walsh, forget buying established players. Sign youngish talent ready to step up but in the managers image rather than individually. If it means we sell gueye or schneiderlin so be it. If it means we sell bolasie so be it. No attachment to anyone who doesn't fit.

My fear is that the next man (or even Sam himself) is tasked with still trying to make a winning team out of a poorly constructed squad as supposed to admitting they got it wrong and rip it up again.

Agreed but we shouldn't allow Sam to do this because he's not the long term answer and some of these players may be good for another manager.

Basically it would be a blank slate for everyone.
