How many top clubs having more than 4 centerbacks (good ones as well)?
How many clubs rely on one of their 4 centrebacks to play regularly at right back and one to play regularly in midfield?
According to Goal today our war chest is a whopping £180mil
I know it may sound revolutionary and scandalous but what about adding a right back and a CB to the team instead of moving Jones and Smalling around? Surely we can find a better CM then Jones and a better right back then Smalling?
I'd say let us keep Vidic for another year and let us bring one between Thorpe and Keane as 5th choice CB. Then we spend the dosh in other positions we need like for example a decent cover for Rafael, 2 quality CM and a left back.
I get the feeling Moyes went to see Cagliari to watch Nainggolan not realising he moved to Roma on loan.
Maybe he just likes Italian football.
Why not buy proper RB and midfielder then?
Ask Fergie/Moyes/Gill/Woodward.
I have a feeling they might feel that effective utility players is a good way to manage a large squad. It's makes giving 20+ players a substantial amount of games easier anyway.
You think any of those people in the photo know who Moyes is?
Loving the repeated instances of someone saying something and everyone reacting with "Well that's that then."
As if someone being less than truthful over potential transfer dealings is as unlikely as a politician fiddling their expenses or a Jeremy Kyle guest with genital warts

I'd hope that Lumsden at least does.
Why isn't he wearing a coat?
Yeah because Juve will let Vidal go 
Because that's sunbathing weather to Scots.
Just wearing the suit because he's got class.
Means he forget to take a coat.
He's bringing back Pogba.
Never....
Glazers are far too cheap to pay for both plane tickets AND a coat.
Or tevez... (welcome back to manchester)
not likely to have any new addition to club this month.
Chelsea reported £20 million bid for Nemanja Matic (again).
so many silly rumours going around about Pogba back to United etc and following our scouts everywhere..
Who are we actually interested in? Do we know any confirmed targets, even if it's not likely they'll leave?

The Matic deal is all but done.
We need to bring both Pogba and Ravel back to OT...
How much do you think Pogba would cost? would you want someone with his attitude back here?
Secondly, if we had Ravel, how would you play him in our XI and accommodate Kagawa/Rooney?
only if the sell-on clause is at least the same amount. I see Pogba being a bit of a mercanary until he ends up at Madrid
Ah OK, I didn't sense it about Ravel, but Pogba, I see as unlikely that he will go for that sort of sum, I can imagine it being a bit higher, or a player plus $, you know the ITI's love their player exch deals.
I think it would be so much healthier for the club if our CEO Ed Woodward becomes more accessible to the media. It relieves pressure from the manager from having to answer about transfers week after week and would also give Moyes the opportunity to fully focus on the team instead of repeatedly having to answer the same questions. Look at clubs like Dortmund and Juventus, when the clubs are quizzed about a possible acquisition or departure the one doing the talking is the CEO or person in charge of transfers and not the manager. Do you agree? Should Ed Woodward appear at press conferences to reply to questions about transfers? I think transfers are Woodward's responsibility so he should answer questions regarding this topic.
He or his agent does come across as a mercenary but he would be would so perfect for our midfield, i would buy him and a creative midfielder even though it costs us a combined fee of £60-70m.
Sold him for £4m and buy him back for £21m 4 years later, If Roman had a pound for every million he's lost at Chelsea he could buy himself another yacht.
£21 million is a decent price for him now, I wonder if they had some kind of clause written in.
UPDATE
Sporting Lisbon have welcomed reports suggesting that they may be able to return Nani to the club from Manchester United. With the Portugal international out of favour at Old
Trafford and struggling for game time, a loan switch has been mooted.

Why would they take an injured player on loan for the 2nd half of the season, when it's already been stated that the injury is quite serious and he could be out for a while?
