Exactly. Also he is a very driven, football mad lad. It's very underrated just how much a good mindset can be the difference between a good and great player. Surely I would've loved Koke or Pogba even more, but LVG getting the best out of him will be quite a watch.
Ander Herrera is a Manchester United Player!

Then we announce Sanchez and another midfielder
I'd love for all signings to be announced at the same time would be awesome.I remember doing that with Ronaldinho
Source please. I thought Herrara was Moyes's target ?
I hope we sign another CM not only one player for the centre
Oh yes.
Thank you the three lawyers.
A proper deep lying creative 8.
Obviously been set up since last summer,jaysus i hope we get him.
Now,onto Gundogan tie up a Cb,Lb and arjen fecking Robben.

Not if you count the hand, he's not.
Woody is like a snake moving through the grass at the moment by the looks of things. The Mata transfer was handled very well by him too.

I am. Some odd looks in the office.
Honestly, players like Herrera aren't the first name on people's wish lists, but he'd do just ask well if not better in our system. Looks like the media were right and we weren't actually in for Kroos, Fabregas and the likes.
Nope Fergies since a few years ago when athletico looked like they where going somewhere,i.e handing us our asses.
Not a great passer of the ball by any means but good dribbler with the ball at his feet and has serious work rate.
Yes him too.
He's just doing his goodbyes.
Look, here he is practising:
As you can see, he's got some work to do on it.
The Ducker article mentions that we were tracking Herrera for two years before Moyes sanctioned a bid.
What a dreadful summer that was...
Neither of those are world class signings, though.
Jesus, it really was.
Tsk. It looks like Woodie and Oggie have had a tiff. Ogden no longer getting briefings from within the club.
...and that doesnt hold a candle to the fiasco that was last summer.
The silver lining to that dark cloud is that if we actually got last summer's targets in... Moyes may still be here.
Then we announce Sanchez and another midfielder
Sanchez will be in Scouseland by all accounts if/ when rat boy goes to Barca...
Valencia was a great signings and on his first season, third season and after the injury of second season he was one of the best wingers in Europe and an integral part of our team. It is easy to talk now that Robben would have been a better signing but during those 3 seasons Valencia played better than Robben. It's just that in the last 2 years Valencia turned to shit and Robben became one of the best in the world but back then it wasn't that scenario.
Of course he has, Rakitic was a better player in 11/12 than Herrera is now. Let alone last season where Rakitic was top 5 or 6 players in the league.
Baffling signing. He's decent but nothing special and I'd be happy if this is the best you can do for midfield.
Another thing that thrills me is that Herrera seems genuinely chuffed to be playing for MUFC and doesnt strike me as a mercenary type at all. I think he will take to LVG and is exactly the type of CM that we should be looking at.
Well done MUFC!
You've made me depressed now
I really hope that's not the case, Sanchez would be fantastic for them, though probably not as influential as Suarez on results.
Off to bed. Checking the caf first thing.
Old article.
And former United assistant Phelan spoke highly of the Spain Under-23 international.
“He’s obviously a dynamic midfield player,” Phelan told BBC Sport.
“The way he plays the game, he’s more of a link player, he makes things happen as far as keeping the continuity going. At Bilbao he was quite the fulcrum of the operation.
“He’s obviously come on the radar, for specific reasons that Moyes is looking for.
“Obviously, he did put a couple of good performances in against Manchester United in Europe, so he would be on the radar from that point of view.”

Agreed...he is a CM in the mould of Modric & Gundogan.... quick feet, can dribble past a player or two, thread the through ball and put in a tackle as well. Fantastic signing!!
I still have hope he'd rather come to us than the Scouse. Are Barca the clear favorites or Madrid?
I'm not sure if Valencia was ever one of the best wingers in Europe, but he was certainly up there in England. I remember when he came back from the horrific injury he suffered against Rangers and he made such a difference to our play, he was brilliant. In saying that, Scholes played a big role back then with some of his long balls out to him, maybe Herrera can do the same.
To be fair Owen was free & made City cry and Valencia was great until that terrible injury.
Not sure who that player on the left is, I vaguely remember him getting about 30 more games for us than reason would allow.
