Which is an absurd turnover of players in a single transfer window, but it does look like it's going that way. It's also feasible if we assume the club is willing to spend 100-150M net. I'd be much less enthusiastic about the forward area than the midfield and defensive signings, but it would probably be effective, and it's true that the current bunch of Rooney-Mata-Di Maria--Young has not been working in spite of how much I like some of those players.

Yeah maybe. Schweinsteiger and Carrick might not be physical enough to play together. Whichever combination works best. I see Schneiderlin as Carrick's successor, but we might want to developing his passing game a bit more before he's ready to take over as the main man.swampash wrote:You wouldn't field Schneiderlin then?

De Gea/Valdes
Damian/Valencia Smalling/Jones Rojo/McNair Shaw/Blackett
Schneiderlin/Carrick Schweinsteiger/Blind
Depay/Mata Herrera/Fellaini Di Maria/Januzaj
Rooney/Wilson
In my humble opinion as we stand.
Not a big fan of Fellaini to be honest, I'd prefer Herrera or Mata in the 10 role but I think Van Gaal will stick with Mata on the flanks due to his "I found his position in the team" statement last season.
I hope Wilson gets a good opportunity this season too. I'm lucky enough to live near Leigh Sports Village where our U21's play most their home games and seeing him first hand... he's a nightmare to play against, never gives defenders a rest and he's a born goal scorer. I still think we should buy another striker though. Just Rooney and Wilson won't cut it playing 60 games a season, especially if one gets injured.

I've not seen Cavani do anything to get excited about... he's supposed to be the business, but I've never seen it... Higuain will cost £60+mill...Pikey McScum wrote:Mental to think only days ago I was beginning to despair about lack of incomings, but fuck me - look at this thread now!

Give me Lacazette and Otamendi and let's get on with the new season...
That assumes Di Maria and De Gea stay...
