Bert Le Clos Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 David de Gea has had a medical at Man Utd and is expected to complete a ?19million move. This will bring Utd's spending up to ?52million already after the signings of Phil Jones and Ashley Young. And Ferguson is still expected to add an attacking midfielder to his side before the end of the transfer window, possibly taking summer spending towards ?80million. Can't see any players leaving either, after Scholes retirement Ferguson needs to add, not sell. Possibly move on Wes Brown, John O'Shea or Darren Gibson for a couple of million, but not megabucks. After 3 Champions League finals in 4 years, these green and gold scarves are beginning to look a bit stupid. I imagine the majority of supporters of other English clubs must feel a bit like Hibs fans, constantly predicting economic meltdown only to see the team in question invest heavily and pull off some outstanding signings. De Gea could arguably be Man Utd's first choice for the next 20 years if he looks after himself and proves to be the keeper of quality everyone is suggesting he is. Jones and Smalling could similarly be a centre half pairing for pushing 15 years, and add Rafael and Fabio to complete the back 4. With Rooney, Hernandez, Anderson, Young, Nani and Valencia all 25 or younger, if Man U can add a creative attacking midfielder they have a squad capable of dominating English football for years. Question is, can they or anyone else step up and meet Barcelona? Maroonish-red is the colour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I think that Fergie has a limited number of years to win the European Cup again - and he is misjudging the quality of the young players at United - and in the quality of the signings to get them that European Cup. I think that he needs at least 4 or 5 top drawer superstar level first team players to win the European Cup again before he retires - and so far they haven't signed any.

Clubs might be wiser investing in the longer term and hoping for the best. Can see a few CL managers being accused of Wenger style caution in coming years. Valid point. Trouble is though, Barcelona are a fairly young squad. Puyol is 33, but only Xavi, Keita and Abidal are over 30 and all of them are only 31. Xavi will play on until Scholes/Giggs age as he'll simply adapt his game to fit. So depending on how Puyol looks after himself, this Barce team could have another 3 or 4 years together before any new signings need to be made! Thinking long, long term, this could put off potential younger players at Barce who might feel their chance of breaking into the first team is too far off. I agree we might see more teams investing in 18/19 year old who will make the first team at 21/22 instead of having to wait a couple more years to break into the Barce side. Central midfielders especially if Barce sign Fabregas. Crazy to think that for a mere ?8million, Ferguson would have had a ready made replacement for Scholes in Van der Vaart. If I was Fergie, I'd be selling Berbatov and bringing in 2 midfielders; one to play off Rooney in a Van der Vaart role, and another deeper lying creative player because Carrick for me doesn't cut it. Man U's midifeld is looking a bit light following Scholes and Hargreaves exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However with De Gea, Jones and Smalling.. they could go on to be top players for club and country for the next 10-15 years.. They have the same chance of turning into the next Ben Foster, Wes Brown and John O'Shea.. Nothing can be guaranteed.. Fair point (although I do actually quite rate Ben Foster and Wesley & Johnny have won more trophies than City have in their entire history), but it is a valid point. I think that Ashley Young has proven himself in recent years though so should perhaps not fall into this category I think that Fergie has a limited number of years to win the European Cup again - and he is misjudging the quality of the young players at United - and in the quality of the signings to get them that European Cup. I think that he needs at least 4 or 5 top drawer superstar level first team players to win the European Cup again before he retires - and so far they haven't signed any. The quality of young players at United is very very good, whether it's good enough to match Barca is a different matter but they have as good a crop of youngsters as I've seen since the 'class of 92'. As well as having youngsters who are already established in the team they have some really exciting youth players - pogba, morrisson, tunnicliffe, keane etc I don't think that signing 4/5 huge names is the answer, I don't think there is even 4/5 world class names available. Big name signings have as big a chance of flopping as they do succeeding, Man U can point to Veron and Chelsea can point to Crespo, Shevchenko and even Ballak to an extent. Even using Barca as a benchmark the only huge-name signing they have made is Villa, and while he has undoubtably been a success he is just a small part of the machine. Barca could have won the champions league with Colin Nish up front......the scary thing is that it's true!! Barca are a shining example of why teams should rear their own talent/sign young promising players . There's little point splashing massive money in an attempt to win the CL in the next three years as Barcelona appear too strong. Short of a Messi leg-break I'd agree with this. While I still think that without him they'd still be the team to beat it would at least give other European heavyweights half a chance. Jambo4523 - you are exactly right! United need a playmaker in midfield. Sniejder would be an excellent buy if they can pry him away from Inter. Carrick is poor and was found out last season in several games. Sell Berbatov and fork out the cash on the creative spark they need to win the champs league. Carrick isn't poor, his only crime is that he's not Xavi. Carrick actually excelled in some of the big games last season - something he's previously failed to do (FA cup semi excluded). As for the champions league final I honestly think United could have had Keane and Robson in their prime playing and it wouldn't have made a difference to the outcome. It's no coincidence that United have won 4/5 league titles since signing Carrick. He is often very unfairly criticised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A long term injury to one of those 3 and you're down to just one RB and one LB. A suspension and your left with just one full back.

I agree about needing a new midfielder, but I still think we should be looking at both Sneijder AND Nasri as our midfield is fairly poor at the moment. Anderson hasn't lived up to his potential, Carrick is a world class bottler in the big games and Gibson hasn't progressed enough for me either. Which only really leaves Fletcher as a defensive option. ------------------Fletcher------------ Young/Valencia-----Nasri---------Sneijder That's a midfield that would see would create loads of chances for Rooney and young Chic to tuck away, leaving enough behind it to keep things ticking over.

Absolutely immense in all the big title run in games as well as the CL QF v Chelsea. Jury still out on Evans although Fergie is clearly giving him another year, he could become the new O'Shea i.e. steady utility man. Was immense when he first came into the team. United have won 4/5 titles since Carrick arrived, no coincidence. As stated in my earlier post Carrick was actually really good in the big games this season minus his mistake in the FA cup semi. Immense in both chelsea QF games. The fact that United were outplayed by Barca doesn't make a blind bit of difference.

Eckauskas Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I used to like Michael Carrick, but his performances in games like the 2009 CL Final, City at Wembley and Chelsea at the Bridge in the Premiership have been very sub par. He's good to have around in the big games at home, but he wouldn't be anywhere near Anfield, the Emirates, Stamford Bridge or Wembley if it was up to me. The midfield I posted is vastly superior to the one United have at the moment. As far as Rio goes, I've had zero time for him since his contract dispute following the drugs furore. Vidic is a far, far, far better centre half than Rio ever was and I have high hopes for Smalling. I'd have no qualms is having him or Jones in ahead of Twitter's most vocal member.

Crixus Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I honestly would have agreed with you regarding his performances in big games but I do feel he stepped it up last season.

Rio and nemanja compliment each other perfectly. I see them both as world-class and their partnership has been a major factor in United's success over the last few years.

I just don't think he offers enough in those big games to warrant him being there. Like I say, Smalling is the future for United. The way he's come on in the past year is not only a testament to the player, but to the coaching staff and to Vida as well. If he continues to improve like that, he'll be a future United captain in the next 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Le Clos Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 Fabio isn't a left back. He's right footed and only played left back because Rafael appeared to settle into the first team at right back quicker. He's just as much a right back as he is left, similar to a Dennis Irwin, and he was Ferguson's first choice right back when Rafael picked up an injury towards the end of the season. I would say that just about gives Man U enough cover in defence; Vidic and Ferdinand in the centre with Smalling and Jones covering. Rafael and Evra at full backs, with Fabio covering both which also leaves Evans who has filled in at left back in the past as well as Fletcher and Valencia who have both covered at right back. Far stronger in depth than say Barcelona or Chelsea are in defence. I can't see any chance of Man U signing both Nasri and Schneijder, that would cost them nearly another ?60m. Unless they sell someone for decent money I think they'll only bring in one more midfielder. And the most likely person to leave will be Berbatov, meaning they would probably need another striker. Nani was voted Player's Player of the Season, not sure why people expect him to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
