As always a good read ed.

RB Leipzig always manage to unearth some gems and with Nagelsmann will be an interesting proposition to watch.

I think Mukiele will be a good option for lots of teams with his wuality and versatility. Actually I think Liverpool might notbe find much better options if they look to add another RB.

{Ed001's Note - I would love him at LFC. Perfect cover to allow one of the centre backs to go.}

The state of the post. Where did that "be" come from after not and the typos. I am very impressed by the eds here who still seem to understand my post. Even I have to read them multiple times to understand.

Thanks for that Ed. I was Manctom but I've lost access to that email address so this is my new one. From what I've seen of him he'll be a real gem in a few years. Upamecano is the one everyone mentions so Mukiele has gone under the radar.

{Ed001's Note - I really liked the look of him, thanks for bringing him to my attention. RBL have some real young gems on their books and Nagelsmann, they could be a genuine force in European football.}

I think Konate is better than Upamecano, personally. Upamecano is a beast though from what I recall, a real physical specimen but not the best defender. Having said that he is still a teenager so can improve on the defensive side of his game and become really good. Having said that, how does this RB franchise unearth so many young talents, some of the best young prospects play for Leipzig or Salzburg and actually get meaningful time too. Maybe we should try and go for these guys, who consistently unearth these gems from all rpund the globe.

{Ed001's Note - I agree, both on Konate and that you should look to find out who does their recruitment and recruit them.}

I believe Paul Mitchell is currently in charge of recruitment at Redbull Leipzig. He held a similar role at Southampton and Spurs. His record of signings for both it them was pretty good too.

Would love him in a similar role at United. Maybe with Jordi Cruyff as DoF. Young dynamic characters who have proven themselves to be very successful in those roles.
