Gary Lineker
He was before but has been travelling ok with his country so GHod knows what, if anything has changedHe's a rabid anti-vaxxer (causes issue with international travel) and a mediocre striker.
Surely United could do better?

Has Gil done enough for Conte/Paratici to no longer wanting or prioritising another right sided attacking option?
Would be a lot of trust put in young Gil in that case. But he's looked up to the task recently when given the chance. Will be interesting to see what happens.
Didn’t really look like scoring at Preston thoughParrott comes back in the summer too and was playing really well at WF, pre his recent injury
He'll never play a competitive game for Chelsea. Didn't stand out at all in the Norwegian league, which is utter brick, so he's nowhere near PL level, and I doubt he'll ever be.Chelsea signed Datro Fofana from Molde... I mentioned him about five weeks ago in this thread. Plays mainly as a striker, but could have been decent cover for the front-3 in an injury crisis while he develops.
I think he possibly has, or at least defer that decision til the summer
Having a more natural replacement for Son perhaps is more critical in attacking areas, and then ditching Moura?
I was sure we would go in for Currasco who can play wing back and wide forward but that’s not materialised so farI think Richarlison is that player personally.
Difficult to know with Moura, he's been a decent option at times. But now injured for a while and definitely not a great fit.
Perhaps Gil doing well means that there's less pressure on a short term attacking solution at least. Doesn't have to be someone ready made.
If our interest in Malinovskyi was real that would explain us "letting him move" without pushing for him.
Son, Kane, Kulusevski, Richarlison, Gil +1 would be good. Looks a bit light with just those 5. But no idea who that one player should be.

I said it earlier in the week that Ishmail Sarr is a perfect fit for us IMO and he has his country mate here too, to help him settle
What does he do exactly? for someone highly rated with premier league experience playing in a league lower than he should be, he has not exactly got the greatest of stats.I. Sarr only has 18 months on his contract. He'd probably be gettable for about £20m
ExperienceWhat does he do exactly? for someone highly rated with premier league experience playing in a league lower than he should be, he has not exactly got the greatest of stats.
I feel he has an awkward technique that almost looks clumsy (kind of like sissoko) and his passing isn't wonderful. I don't get what he adds that someone like Parrot doesn't.
Think Carrasco would be a good, flexible option. But probably fairly expensive for his age? Wouldn't be surprised if he's on Paratici's list.
I like Sarr. Can do a job on both sides too? Would be fairly expensive though? And I'm not sure he has the potential to step up to become a clear first choice one day.
Wonder if Gil doing as well as he has done may give us the option of going younger and with even more future potential than Sarr?
Can play both sidesWanted Yannick Carrasco about 3 seasons ago
I would tooWary of us building up an old squad which they needs another rebuild when Conte leaves. I'd prefer us to stick to mainly signing players who are under 25ish buying 3-4 per year
Carrasco is a good player, but would prefer Porro as a WB and Sarr as a wide forward
Do you think Gill has done well? One good half against Palace is all I’ve seen so far.Wonder if Gil doing as well as he has done may give us the option of going younger and with even more future potential than Sarr?
Goals - Not many for someone who is rated as well as him.Experience

You can’t say that, thats being negative.Do you think Gill has done well? One good half against Palace is all I’ve seen so far.
