Hope so, but who knows.

I only think 3-5-2 will ever be effective when we have 2 proper wing-back's playing and at least 2 CB's capable of passing and coming out well with the ball.

Also a midfielder who can dictate play, Blind has good passing range but not sure if he is one to have an impact on the game and then there is Herrera who is just more of a dynamic aggressive box to box type CM.

Even then we are limiting our attacking options. We have attackers like Rooney, Falcao, RVP, Di Maria, Mata, Januzaj. Playign 3-5-2 means apart from 2 CMs we can only play 3 attackers. Van Gaal spent 150 Million so hopefully he won't give excuses like he switched to 3-5-2 only because of lack of quality players. At least with Netherlands it was ok as he lost Strootman and NT is completely different from club level.

It's the pace we attack at with the 352 or the problem might just be the playeres themselves and not the tac, hopefully a fit shaw, herrera, blind and rafael will help fix that. God please be fit rafael as rash as he might be atleast he isn't turn back tony.
 
Big summer clear out.

Deleted anderson, amazing.

Rooney looks angry and confused out wide on his own.
 
Coloured in the wrong twin too..

Phil Jones just gone off with a hamstring injury. Rojo/Evans/Blackett at CB (3 left footers)?

All that summer spending and the best we've got with 1 injury in defence is Evans and Blackett :S
 
I'm still not happy with losing Welbeck, think it was a big mistake by LVG regardless of getting Falcao.

Plus even more frustratingly there is a noticable lack of pace up front, Welbeck offered this and could of stretched defences with Rooney/RVP other striker partner up front.

I don't think anyone over here is happy with that decision from the time it was rumoured :\ FFS, HG, and heck, when he played as a striker, he was pretty good. Plus, really good work-rate and stamina :\ That one decision put a very easily put a dampener on what has been our best window in recent times, so much so, I didn't celebrate Falcao moving to us >.<

Does anyone reckon if we might have a buyback clause in Welbeck's contract.

No way. Anyhow, latest rumours are floating that Mata may be sold at a 13M loss, and Juve, Atleti and Valencia are interested. I'd be irritated if that happens, Mata has actually been pretty good for us, Rooney is the one who has been disappointing..

Oh and, more ridiculous rumours of the week are that RM are ready to offload CR7 to us next season, provided we don't exercise Falcao's purchase option//

Not happening.. Jose doesn't rate him, and most supporters be furious if we sold another player to a key rival :\ I'm wishing he's given a proper chance, he can probably wreck havoc with the kind of attacking options we have now..//

Although, I can probably see Mata leaving for a cash+swap deal or first option on Vidal/Pogba. I'd still hate it though//
