If we could squeeze another attacking midfielder into the squad then Hakim Ziyech is a steal for 30-35m

We don't need replacements for DS and Moreno, we need signings that can challenge those positions to improve the first team and squad.
I'm sure any talk of 'no big signings' is a smoke screen. We don't want to stand still, but we're in a great position of just needing a couple of quality additions. CB and Striker/front 3 for me.
Many many games next year and we might not be so lucky with injuries. Disagree with this. If Robertson or trent get a lengthy injury we only have milner as senior cover. We definitely need full back options considering how many games we will be playing next year. We were extremely lucky with injuries last season. I think midfield is fine. There are options if one of the front three go down. Same with the CB's with lovren, gomez, VVD and matip (fabinho for emergencies). Full backs? Milner. So yeah, We do we need to replace moreno. Brewster takes Sturridge's place I think. I didn't get my point over well enough. We need cover and the squad needs strengthening, but of a higher calibre than Moreno and an injury prone DS. Brewster and Origi are fine back up but if they're not good enough to displace the front 3, we need someone who is. I'm not suggesting another Robertson for LB, but maybe someone versatile that we don't cringe at when his name's on the team sheet.

Yeah, I fully agree, we need to strengthen the squad and we need a few quality backup players for the obvious positions. We have the money, failure to use it where needed will likely cost us again, and that would be criminally negligent.

Just watching the Copa America final and Everton looks useful for Brazil playing on the wing, good interlinking with Firmino, he's got a goal, good skills and looks pretty stock, so he might be a good option for the front 3, he's 23 and still playing in Brazil, so he could be available and would meet the FSG mould.
Would also be amusing to sign someone called Everton for the Blue Noses!

Was just thinking the same.
Coutinho is playing for himself as usual. Don't want that spoilt brat back!

Everton got 9 in 19 for Gremio, so a good scoring record, reports say he can play wing/forward L/C/R, he's left wing tonight, so would be good cover for Mane. His agent has also ruled out a move to City while they have so many attacking options as he wants to play, so sounds like he has his head screwed on: https://metro.co.uk/2019/07/04/man-utd-target-everton-soares-agent-rules-switch-man-city-10115293/A few clubs will be after him, but if we get in fast, we might be able to get him if he see's he will get games and we already have Firmino who he looks good with.

Both Bobby and Cortina subbed off.
The right move from brazil's manager.

The right move from brazil's manager. Yeah, down to 10 men, they are gonna try and hold on, bet he regrets not having Fab to bring on now. Amazing Alisson conceded first goal in the competition tonight with a penalty, and they are in the final !!!! Always love the Peru Kit!

We’’d have to make sure we sing “There’s only one Everton” at the derby games! 😆
