The Manchester United Thread

If we are talking about forwards, then Lewandowksi. I prefer him to Falcao.

Midfield we are talking about Bale/Reus and formerly Gotze. That's the kind of quality you need to look at.

United trying to get bale off Levy would be wonderful to watch
 
I think his slightly smaller size is a major factor in that tbf. Dzeko can play as well as him on his day. His lack of mobility and clumsy-ness ruin it for him though. Not much he can do about his body though tbf.

I just think Lewan is a tad overrated at times. With all that behind him, it would be hard not to score. Still probably the best ST in the Bundisliga. Dortmund really need to step it up this summer too. With Gotze & Lewandowski both leaving, factoring in the fact that they need to buy a new ST as Schieber is pretty poor. Leitner & Bittencourt might be able to step-up though.

EDIT: I would like them to get this kid as well. Yoichiro Kakitani - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. They need a new Kagawa since you feckers took him.

Tbf, you say that. Look at Ba and Torres, and they have Oscar, Mata and Hazard. Lewandowski scores with over a quarter of his total shots, that is incredibly clinical. More important he can create goals for himself out of nothing, which is vital.
 
Lewo is a great player, very intelligent on and off the ball! Falcao is great, don't get me wrong, but he is old school CF type of player!

Rob's link up play is fantastic, with Kagawa just behind him, things could turn out quite nicely especially when you could have Ron outwide with Young/Valencia/Zaha

Moyes will work his magic, but yah would love Bale or Reus if we cannot land Ron!

Maybe Baines and Fellaini would switch as well?

Wouldn't take Fellaini, would take Baines, but Evra's resurgence makes it less of a priority.

I disagree. He would make a good partner for Carrick if given a more defensive role (sort of like Carrick, but playing a more simple game, he can push forward as well while Carrick sits deeper to join attacks)

Also a danger at every set piece

Not saying he would be perfect or even want him, there are better players out there, but he could fit quite nicely in if used correctly, especially under Moyes

Baines is quality, as you said, Evra has started to find form again and whenever Buttner plays, he does well! We also have Fabio coming back this season, but we could flog him...

He gives away so many fouls. His ridculous use of his elbows would see him sent off too much in Europe. More importantly he isnt a cultured passer. We have precisely one right now, and he is 31. Whoever we buy needs to be able to compliment AND cover/replace Carrick.

Cabaye could be a decent shout.

I agree with that, his job would not be to play killer balls like Carrick, he is there to support Carrick..

With a good training schedule and practice Fellaini could become a great defensive mid, he is good in the air (given he uses his elbows to climb) but joining a club like United would bring him down to earth, he is still young, even though it feels like he has been around for a long time!

I would **** myself knowing I was up against him, even though I am probably the same size as him!

Its a good weapon to have

But as I said, I would prefer so many other players than him at the moment! Marchisio would be great!

Still would love Inler though, he has been sensational for Napoli this season!

Fellaini isn't a fit for United, especially in the role you stated.

He's not a great passer of the ball, he's not that good at shooting from distance. His attributes are his strength and heading, his tackling isn't that good either. You're basically shoehorning in a player that doesn't fit for the sake of it, there are many other players out there that would do a much better job in the role, would probably cost a lot less and don't spend half the game elbowing defenders and generally acting like a ****.

I would just do what Gerrard done within the first 5 minutes on Sunday and put him on his ****. Only time he really threw his power around was from set-pieces.
 
Marchisio, Inler, Strootman are just 3 players I would take over Fellaini.

Fellaini would cost north of 20m. No thanks.

I never mentioned once he is a good passer or finisher, if you read what I said Dunc you would have seen that he would be a better player than the JONES role SAF created for Jonesy in the centre of the park! Jones is muck in the air

So I would prefer Fellaini in that role to Jones (even though Jones is good) he is better suited to playing fullback in my opinion! He is quick and is good at marking, not the best crosser of the ball though..

Inler or Benat would be a good addition however
