Even Nasri is not good enough to replace Scholes.. If we sign Nasri also we will go for new CM. So if we sign Nasri means even less game time for Cleverley..

I agree to a certain extent, he did well at Wigan and on our pre-season tour last year but is he really good enough to replace paul scholes? I don't think so, besides nasri for 10-15 mil is a steal.

Was just about to post this! I hope he stays and isn't loaned out again. If he plays well for the U21's and has a good pre-season, there is a chance that he could break into the team, particularly with his versatility. I want to see him and Anderson given a serious chance this season, and I really don't want Nasri.
Of all the players we have been linked with, only Luka Modric, Alexis Sanchez, Pato Rodriguez and Bastien Schweinsteiger excite me. None really look that likely at the minute, but I'd be content to go into the seaon with De Gea, Young and Jones coming in, along with Cleverley, Welbeck and Macheda returning.

Fail ;p
I don't see what other options we have though, with sneijder and modric both now probably out of the picture and gibson likely to go to sunderland that leaves us with 4 centre mids.Even Nasri is not good enough to replace Scholes..

Yeah, U21 is very important for him to prove his worth one more time. He has done it on so many times, it will be just one more time..
Have you seen Pato Rodriguez play? What sort of player is he..
And we are not linked with Bastian mate. He has signed contract and thats it. We can't afford him. It is Bayern we have to deal with.. No chance..
And I think we have to sign one more CM for sure. Cleverley is not a CM. We have Fletcher, Carrick, Anderson as CM along with Giggs who can play there. So we are very weak in that department. We need to sign one for sure..
I think we will go for Modric if not him then Defour whom we have scouted for so long..
I know we have no chance of Schweinsteiger, but there was a rumour a while back and he is one player that I really do rate. I'm sure Cleverly can play cm, Park too, but we could do with a more creative player to replace Scholes/Giggs. Rodriguez is creative and attacking, although when I saw him he was playing in a wide position. He is very direct and a good dribbler too, I think he'd be worth the risk
I actually forgot about defour, he shouldn't cost that much either paying for standard liege. I've never seen him play though how do you rate him?
Pato Rodriguez
Absolute gem of a player - ran rings around our defense, and although we were cheated out of that game the guy deserved the three points.
Creative, quick, good dribbler and can play AMRCL. He's a little selfish, though, but that's probably because the rest of his team sucks balls bigtime.
He seems to have the attributes to be a quality winger, so I'm not sure how much interest there will be on United's part, especially with the imminent signing of Ashley Young

Oh wow, the Venky's wanna bring the issue to court. I can't believe they're that dumb.
Or maybe they have a plan.
I've not seen anything of Defour... What's he like? And how much would he be likely to cost Utd (bearing in mind what Mike. said about a first refusal agreement with Standard)?
