Could we see a deadline day panic buy again? If so, who?

I think we should ask about Delph while attempting to tie up the Vlaar deal. Could throw in a few youngsters on loan to sweeten the deal.

Delph is very underated and his energy and mobility are so far away from Fletch and Carrick. Would really bring the best out of Herrera while also allowing him to cover the space in behind our wing backs.
Delph? Has it really come to this?

I think Rory Delap could do a job if he came out of retirement. Glenn Whelan wouldn't be such a bad buy either and we could certainly do much worse than Zoltan Gera.

Delap's long throws would certainly add variety to our attacks, whilst I hear that Southampton's Hooiveld (also a Dutchman) may be available.

I think we should ask Sunderland about Connor Wickham while we're at it, he could be a handful for United.
 
I think we could make a panic signing only with van gaal as manager I think it's improve us regardless. Someone like de jong would be a huge improvement as the defensive midfielder and he'd probably be a last resort option and wouldn't be expensive.
 
Delph? Seriously???? Have a look in the mirror and repeat that name back at yourself whilst imaging him playing for us. No thought not.

:lol: Are you serious?
 
I reckon we'll sign Depay before the window closes and then loan him back to PSV for a season....I think we'll get Strootman in January

So with those two signings possibly in the pipeline i'm not sure LVG will sign anyone else after Rojo unless we can get Song on a loan and LVG feels we could do with him to partner him alongside Herrera until Strootman arrives hopefully in January
 
Not sure if this is the thread but the more I think about the crazy comment above (Delph) the more I worry about the sanity of some of you....

We have plenty of midfielder at the club. They just are not that good. We don't need more mediocrity. We need star quality.
 
We could trigger Carvalho's buyout fee, he'd be a top signing with a lot of potential for a position we need to strengthen. He'd be a top signing imo.

And with that, this years transfer forum has now officially come full circle. Back to the original debate back in Feb/March.
 
Iturraspe has a (expensive) release clause similar to the one Herrera had. If we can't get a big name I'd be happy to see us bring him in.

Very talented player who is exactly what we need beside Herrera, with the added bonus that they've both played together for years and know each others game inside out.

I still think we need two midfielders though (for squad depth) as well as a pacey winger to give our attack another dimension. Iturraspe plus one of De Jong/Lucas Silva/Khedira (relatively cheap) and Di Maria.

Sorted.

It's to be expected. During the Djemba years I suggested that we should buy George Boateng. :cool:
