Yes we have DDG for doing that but we have the forward players capable of doing it too in my mind. Comparing our regular squads in 4-3-3: Aguero - Lukaku Sane - Sanchez Sterling - Mata De Bruyne - Pogba Fernandinho - Matic Silva - Herrera For me, on paper, we had the quality to match them. Difference was they were far more prepared/organised (used same formation throughout season), drilled in tactically and players performed to their potential. Mixture of reasons. Maybe I'm blind here but quality wise it's there for us. Now add Fred to that list and hopefully another RW and again, going into this season I see no reason we shouldn't be able to compete with them talent wise. It will come down to the setup and individual performances.

Adamocovic wrote: » Saint-Maximin makes no sense in my eyes. Can't even see why we would be linked. Nice only bought him last season off Monaco, he was one of their best players alright but still only 21. I don't see us moving for another young player who may come good down the line, rather than going for a finished product.
