How is that even related to Herrera?

I always find people moaning about players pay hilarious. The club decides that, yet people cry like it's their money.

Well, obviously it is their money. Higher transfer fees, higher wages means higher merchandise and ticket prices.

Only if they are local Smashed. Also tickets and merchandise is probably (I'm assuming) a pittance compared to sponsorship etc. The TV deals and the like are what cause the wage hikes. Not merchandise and ticket prices.

Also nobody forced the club to give Anderson that contract. Criticizing him for something every one of us would do is hypocritical.

Reread it. Once was enough to be fair though. In 2015 match-day, merchandise and apparel related revenue accounts will account for :

Gate and receipts : £110 million.
Adidas : £80 million.
Chevrolet : £45 million.
Aon : est £5-10 million (distribution between training gear and the Carrington sponsorship is a bit fuzzy).

Lower conservative est. : £240 million. Other sponsorship deals not included.

Dunno how more than half of United's total revenue (United's broadcast revenue in comparison is projected to be about £120 million in 2015 provided we qualify European football) doesn't concern the average supporter through the trickle down effect.. These companies are paying ridiculous amounts in terms of sponsoring United related gear and products with the primary purpose of enhancing their brand and attracting more consumers on a global level.
 
I would like to see Blind - Herrera - Fellaini as a midfield trio. Good balance, physicality, technique etc
 
If he's fit then I'm disappointed he isn't playing. Against City I'd hoped we'd see Blind, Herrera, Di Maria + Carrick/Fellaini.

LvG went what looked on paper like a bolder route, adding Januzaj instead, perhaps because Rooney/RvP as a forward partnership has never looked quite as good as it should. But personally, I'd sooner have seen a midfield diamond and Herrera on the field, if he was fully fit, and I would have hoped to get the drive and creative energy that way.

Anyway, get well soon, Ander. And see you soon, I hope.
 
I like the Ander, Blind, Di Maria midfield 3. Think weve missed it in recent games it was starting to look good until Herrera's injury
 
Call me blind but i cant see what herrera brings to the team yet. I dont think he has properly settled and feel like his role in the team will be different to the role he plays when 3 years down the line when he settles.

Nice try, but with a post like that you're no Blind. A Cleverley or Gibson tops.

Blind is not the description I am thinking of.
 
We're much better going forward with him in the side. He is very good on the ball and is great in those tight areas.

Di Maria seemed to play a lot better with him in the side too.

If we're playing the diamond, he has to play. It's not the same without him. Some will think that's an exaggeration, but I think Di Maria's existence has distorted the reality more than anything.
 
I'd prefer to see him in tbh. Think he brings others in very well. I'm not a big fan of the way in recent games we've been looking to push on an extra midfielder early in moves I think it's hurting our build up. In that capacity Fellaini does have an edge over him due to his physique but playing a primarily more supportive role I think Herrera offers us a lot.
 
I am a big fan and I want to see him play every game, but we have to be honest and admit that the big hairy guy played him way in the team fair and square and deserves to start at this time.
 
We finally sign a box to box midfielder who can create and score from central areas as well as defend and we put him on the bench.

Ridiculous.
 
Baffling logic to bench our best central midfielder.
 
He better be recovering from his injury otherwise it's ridiculous that he's not playing. One of our best players before he got injured and unlike Fellaini, he actually offers some creativity.

But Herrera still played better than him whenever he played.
 
He better still be recovering.

Fellaini played against Chelsea and City, and scored off the bench against West Brom where Herrera was mediocre.
In contrast - Herrera was in the Leicester capitulation, though he scored, and played well against QPR, as did everyone - QPR are woeful.
The rest was good. Nothing more or less really, and given the quality of opposition they've faced, Fellaini's done no worse.
 
Can't understand why he isn't playing. He was brilliant in every game ba the last game he played, when he was clearly injured.
 
Maybe herrera isn't quite ready but LVG still wanted him on the bench? Hardly matters. Most important things the win
 
If we're desperate to play 4-3-3, I'd take Januzaj off, play Rooney up front/out wide, and bring Herrera in centre midfield.

So ?? How is that his fault ?? By that logic, we drew 2 and lost 1 with Fellaini starting, so he has been worse by that reasoning. The opposition should not matter, you beat what is in front of you.

I don't have a problem with Fellaini starting, but this reasoning of yours is ridiculous.

Fair enough. Take that Leicester part out if you want, and there's nothing else ridiculous within my post.
The opposition does matter when comparing a selection of about three or four games. Quite clearly it does.

Fellaini's been as good, in my opinion. And I like Herrera.

Fellaini played against Chelsea and City and we got one point in those two games where he put in 7/10 performances afaic. Herrera was there in the Leicester game but so was everyone else (which you obviously pointed out for the QPR game while conveniently forgot to mention here). Herrera has been brilliant for us so far except for the West Brom game where he was quite clearly struggling from his injury.

So far, Fellaini has been pretty useless in the Crystal Palace game. Not creating anything and his passing has ranged between poor and mediocre. So all this talk of how Herrera faced poor opposition and thus his performances were good will be put to test today during the second half where Fellaini will have to improve a lot to put in a performance comparable to Herrera's.
 
I don't think the midfield is the problem. Front line has done nothing.
