Breaking the Habit - A Man United rebuild

@JustinCase0110did you look at patino, hackney, or wharton? i know you've narrowed it down to gallagher and gomes, though, so it's your call. if playmaking is the profile, then i'd say gomes, but if a more defensive-minded player is the aim, then gallagher.

When I had Gomez in the past, he was forever pestering me to play him - even when I did.

I'd probably go for Gallagher.

On other things, Miretti is a good signing.  I've got him in my Plymouth career and he's very good.

Thanks mate! I also started approaching Gallagher, and I thought it made sense following the Mount and ESR signings.

But then I got a notification that Angel Gomes was leaving Lille for another club, and I thought it was something I needed to consider. Can't sign them both though.

Miretti, yes I know. I actually had another Italian in mind, Simone Pafundi, who was loaned out to Lausanne - another INEOS club - but the timing wasn't right. Miretti was a better fit for now.

No, I didn't look at any of those. But they all seem like great young prospects for the number 6 role.

Having just signed Miretti and Iling-Junior, this time I'm interested in a more experienced player though. But I do appreciate the suggestions, thanks.

Playmaker or defensive-minded? A bit of both, I suppose. I wanted to move Mainoo a bit forward, seeing him as a Seedorf-type. So I kind of pictured someone like Pirlo to dictate the play from the deep (using prime Milan as the metaphor). However, I also need the defensive abilities to be good enough as the anchor behind Mainoo and ESR (possible first 11).

i hear ya. the only other one i can think of would be ward-prowse, perhaps

Thanks, yeah I've signed him before, actually, in a similar "rebuild" save. So I'll try something else this time. Thanks for weighing in here, it's fun to include the community from time to time...

Potentially good signing, especially compared with Gomez.
Lunin is a good piece of business.
Just wish the real United could make this kind of progress.
Yet another big upheaval this summer, I think.

Not gonna lie, the current abysmal state of the club is also what draws me to do yet another Man United save at the moment.

If things were just fine and dandy at Man United IRL, I'm sure I would spend my FIFA-hours differently.
