Come on Ed. This is your chance.
I'm 200% muppet now.

Aye there is man but you do need the space for those creative players to influence the game properly, that many central players just lets the opposition defend narrowly and makes it harder to break them down or exploit gaps in the defence. You want to stretch them out IMO so that gaps start to appear.
Personally I think if you have one immense number 10 the best way to go is to stretch the pitch and give that one player as much room to operate as possible.
That line up is really similar to City under Mancini and they struggled with that lack of width, which is why the City fans were so pleased with Navas as it was a clear problem that needed fixing.
If we beat arsenal to Ozil I will touch my self furiously
Dear God,
I'm a bad Christian but please prevent Woody sitting in driver's seat for this transfer...
My cock will erupt.
Yeah they have been dire, that's a separate issue though. Doesn't mean there is anything wrong with playing a proper winger, we should always have at least one I think.
Ozil-Kagawa-Nani would be better IMO and far more balanced
If we beat them to Ozil, I'll go mental with happiness.. Still, would love Herrera too.
We should send Albert the kitman and Fred.
It won't happen lads... judging by what has happened this summer, one of the following things will happen
1) We won't offer enough money
2) We don't think he's suitable/good enough for us
3) Someone else will buy him
4) Woodward
Let's bring down those excitement levels.

I don't disagree was just suggesting a way that line up could work, and in some games it could IMO though obviously I wouldn't want to see it every week. I'd want Ozil to be the central one in such a system too if we were to actually pull this deal off....
Sky vs BBC
Fiiiight
Fiiiight
'Working hard'...
If I had to choose between Herrera and Özil, I'd go for Herrera... but only because having Cleverley and Anderson as 'options' scares me.

I am told #MUFC definitely NOT in for Mesut �zil. Working hard on deals for Marouane Fellaini and Ander Herrera. #DeadlineDay
Everyone's got a point of view today.

I'd honestly prefer Herrera, even though he's a level or two below, we just need him more.
I'd rather have Fellaini & Herrera than Just Ozil, that being said, if we had to have 1 of the 3... the best player is Ozil, the best for our team probably the Fellaini/Herrera so either way it's not that bad.
"Working hard"...god we have a good bunch of hard workers there behind the scenes, always working hard and achieving feck all.
One is a good player, the other is a world class player. It's not even a debate.
We're not Chelsea, lads, we're not going to have 14 attacking midfielders.
I'm so sick of hearing that phrase. Working hard for 3 months with no results? Sack the lot!
Title should be changed to:
Ozil | Sky Sources: United in talks with representatives; BBC: NO
Ozil | Sky Sources: United in talks with representatives; BBC: NO
No but we do have a world class player who's comfortable in Özil's position (Rooney) and a promising one (Kagawa) whereas our options in CM are all inferior to Herrera, bar Carrick.
makes me think more of a scholes type of player, we have Kagawa and Rooney who can do the Ozil job.
Why? Do we seriously need Ozil!? No, we have two perfectly good #10's. We need CM's, Herrera would make much more sense.
Not really. The two deals we are apparently 'working hard' on are the ones we really need most. We can get Ozil at 10pm tonight if there's anything left in the piggy bank.
Of course it is! Jesus.We need a centre more than any thing else right now, that actually isn't up for debate.
If we miss out on Ozil we still have Rooney and Kagawa to play behind Van Persie, if we miss out on Herrara we need to play Cleverley/Anderson next to Carrick.
I'd hazard a guess and say BBC source is Jan Aage Fjortoft who is close to the Özil camp. He was asked if he could confirm the United link and answered that he only know of Arsenal link at this point.
My ideal scenario for today would be Herrera & Ozil, or Fellaini and Ozil...
I don't think we have enough creativity in our squad as it stands, and neither Fellaini or Herrera adequately fill that gap.
Sort of (in Rooney's case anyway). Couldn't think of two more different players in Rooney and Ozil, so if the manager wants what Ozil brings to a team ( a ridiculous supply of chances created centrally), Rooney is not a competitor for that. Shinji is though, and signing Ozil this morning will result in Shinji being gone by the evening I reckon.
Herrera is more creative than anything we have. Him, Rooney & Nani (fit) would be more than enough.
Sky will exaggerate everything for ratings unfortunately.
He's an upgrade in that position on our 2 AMs, Rooney is better as a striker, Kagawa is in the tier below Ozil. I'm not entirely sold on Herrera.
Now we're not in for him...
Sky Sports on site journalist has just Manchester United have said we're not in for him. So Ozil is over
