It is. With Hernandez we are not very flexible. It just doesn't work against team who defend 80% of game. If you give ball to Hernandez in box, he will score, but first, ball needs to find his way to Hernandez. It's hard to make space when you are surrounded with few defenders. He tries to drop deep but he's not really good at it. And that's why we struggle with teams like Blackburn, Stoke... But Hernandez is perfect for teams like Chelsea, L'pool, Arsenal who likes to play possesion game and play highish def line.
I can't question Welbeck's work rate, he is fantastic in that respect. Also like you say, Hernandez is just basically a poacher, but surely with United we need someone the best of both, especially when we just play the one striker up front with Rooney playing in the hole behind him.
It would be great if Welbeck improved some other aspects of his game he could be absolutely great for United, but at the moment he just seems a player with high work rate and no end product.
Gaitan hardly ever plays in the middle, he either plays left or right wing, even if he played in the middle at Boca. He is technically very good, can pull of some unexpected goals, can score from some distance, excellent on 1 on 1, good crosser, good finisher.
But his mentality certainly needs a change, this season for us, it was incredible his lack of commitment in the league, when compared to the champions league...
Perhaps due to wanting to play on a higher level? Very talented, but not a player we need right now.

Indeed, though the thought of he and Valencia on either wing is enough to make the mouth water. I'm a ***** for good crossers, and Gaitan is superb.
Jack Rodwell would have been my first choice for a long while, shame about his injuries though, would stay clear of him at the moment. Why does no one like Christian Eriksen? He seems like a class young player to me, only 20 and not as good as Modric but can get there with Fergie's guidance.
Dunno about Rodwell, he's enigma to me. About Eriksen, he has some real talent for sure.

is Eriksen an AM or DLP?
Dont need Eriksen when we have Cleverley. What we need is a more polished player.
I am not convinced by Cleverley at all, he has shown nothing this season that he is good enough, infact the performances when he was brought on against Bilbao and a few other occasions shows he struggles to make any impact on a game. Such a key area on the field I am not convinced he is United class.

God I love him :wub:
Rofl, he had a great start, he and Anderson were key to our blistering start, then got disrupted by injury. Talented and raw, very calm and collected on the ball will be a very good player.
Buying Eriksen makes literally no sense.
We surely have enough attacking talent in midfield. Need more defensive options with Fletcher being out injured.
