He doesn't rate Fabregas as a midfielder either tbf, he was sure they would keep Thiago instead. Hererra is a very good player, but it makes to much sense for us to sign him.
Ander Herrera is a Manchester United Player!

What's the point in selling Ando? We would either not find any buyers for him or else we end up taking peanuts for him. Having 6 midfielders (which include a nearly 40 year old Giggs) isnt tragic especially when one consider the fact that we'll probably be using a 3 men CM quite regularly this season.
I think he needs a season watching guys like Ando and Jones plying their trade in CM. In that way he'll finally recognise that not every midfielder is as good as Xavi, Iniesta and Thiago.
Well I'm sure most of you got a real good look at him when Bielsa's side played United recently. I don't like the player's attitude or demeanor, I find him to be a prick, tbh - which doesn't sound like much but when you consider the personalities of most of the Spanish midfielders, it's odd. Plus, he's a player who can come undone fairly quickly, IMO.
Skilled, good vision, good workrate and very physical CM that will happily get stuck in. Suited to a counter attacking team more than anything, IMO. He is not, however, a premier talent in Spain atm from the midfield - there are several ahead of him
Sounds perfect.
Sounds like he has a good attitude. Seems to me its you have a grudge against him as opposed to not rating him.I doubt you have put anyone off with that assessment.
So he's got every attribute we need in CM, and got a bit of a nasty streak about him as well?
Well I guess since you don't like him we'll better sign another LB or a striker and loan Rooney out to Sociedad or something. Or sign Fellaini.
No, I don't like him but that wouldn't preclude me from rating him. There's just a long line of talented midfielders in Spain. I think he's a good midfielder, I just think there are or have been better ones out there.
I still think Iturraspe would be the better signing overall. But yes please in any case.
Meanwhile, I'll take Herrera rather than place our trust in a 40 year old coach and Phil Jones.
If you've lost your home in a hurricane you ain't complaining when someone offers you a couch to crash on.
Ha, sounds like exactly the type of player the caf has wanted all summer.
The fact that there are several players ahead of him in the Spanish team is hardly that worrying, Spain are blessed in midfield. How do you think he'd compare with other PL players? The way you've described him makes me think he's around the level Arteta was at his best...
Get him in. Whoever he is.
I've heard he's played in midfield.
As I said last summer: I wouldn't be completely against the accquisition of Shaun Derry at this point. And at the age of, what, 78 or something like that, what does one more year really do?
Bloody Expensive aint it! Him and Fellaini would do.. He can pass abit
The Arteta comparison is not bad actually, minus the personality. Considering Moyes is the one who turned Arteta's career around then it might make some sense.
Reverse psychology eh. You crafty bugger
Is midfielder. Does not compute. Will not happen.
To be fair to what FCBarca said about him being a twat, that was the main impression I came away with from watching about 3 Youtube videos 
I don't think I've ever seen a player compilation video ever show so many clips of the player arguing with the ref or the opposition!

So he's down in the pecking order of Spanish midfielders. So what?
This is the country that has such an embarrassment of riches that one of the best keepers in the world, De Gea, has never even played for them, and the likes of Mata, Martinez, Soldado etc struggle to get in the side. I don't think we should be overly concerned.

Draw Spanish team in Champions League = buy Spanish midfielder. Moyes knows what he's doing and he's not going to let us get passed to death like the old bloke.
Transfer Markt values him at 7 million. Got in for 12 million on FM. Do not want!

I would take any spanish midfielder.
We need more pricks in our team if anything. If Rooney goes, who's left? Kagawa - no; Welbeck - no; Carrick - no; Cleverley - no; Valencia - no. Probably only RVP out of our front 6. Every great team in history has been stuffed full of pricks.
We've missed out, he's gone to Milwall. Says he wants to triumph there.
Is he really worth paying 30m for?
In your dreams
this is his performance against us. Made a brilliant assist but overall nothing our Tom couldn't do or at least develop into. Not worth 30 million for me but would be happy to get him.
I think we will sign him
Lol jokes we want Baines
Lol jokes we want Baines
At this rate, i'll be happy with Carlos Valderrama.
Have we seriously opened with the same bid as we did for Fabregas?
Will wait to hear something from our papers on this, not entirely convinced this is true. No idea why this couldn't have been done weeks ago if it is..

No evidence for that so far, especially with 4 strikers, 4 wingers and Kagawa to fit in (and I'm not including some other players here).
I thought the (ideal) plan at the start of the summer was 2 new CM's, one defensive, one attacking, Anderson sold which leaves us to play around with Carrick, Cleverley and 2 new arrivals for the 2 midfield spots with Giggs, Fletcher, Jones, Powell floating around for back up.
Having left it so late right now we're in 1 big cluster feck where we can either be left unbalanced in terms of options, short on quality, understocked or overstocked but never really in a ideal situation.
people here don't see fellaini as being worth 20m pounds but don't seem to mind paying 30m euros for ander herrera, weird
