MoM tonight v Ireland.
Habib Diarra.Any of his Senegal friends worth bringing back with him? They always have talent.
DealHabib Diarra.
When is he leaving for United?
Absolutely wonderful player. Mostly played out wide but has scored 9 in 28 league starts this season. Bring him to the number 10 position, get real wingers and a top striker in and he'll look even better, and we will fly up the league. Delighted with him this season. He's contracted until 2029 when he'll be 29, so probably another impressive showing next year will get him a pay rise. He's vying alongside Pickford and Branthwaite for runner up in POTS.
I know it wont happen, but I would like to see him given a free role anywhere across the front line. He has the footballing intelligence to do it, and if he has a few more intelligent players around him, he could be devastating!
Hazard like. He has the potential to be an elite player. And not to go all Paul Merson but I mean absolutely elite like Kvaratskhelia. Just needs to improve his assists but his close control on the ball, shielding, strength and his defensive work rate are incredible. Love watching him.

They’ve got a pretty sexy side when their first eleven are all on the pitchThe comparison with Kvaratskhelia is an interesting one...both similar players.
I'd keep Ndiaye on the left, there's not many better than him in the league so keep him there and see if he can improve again next season.
For me, the 10 should be creating a lot of assists. I think perhaps Alcaraz as the 10 and Ndiaye the 11 while McNeil can rotate across the 3. For the 7 I'd be trying for either a young winger e.g Doak/Dibling or maybe another direct player like Ndiaye.
The way to keep the likes of Ndiaye in games more often is to improve the supply and stretch defences. I think a new CM and that 7 do that.
Yes, Habib Diarra and the chap i wanted two seasons ago...Lamine Camara.
