I think we will splash another 50 million in this January's transfer window. Van Gaal will insist on it to save his ass.
 
I'm not sure a new striker, on its own, is the answer. Are Rooney / Martial really so much worse than Vardy as the numbers suggest? Would Vardy score anywhere near as many in our current set up? I think not.
Rooney is finished and Martial isn't ready for the responsibility. We need a new striker pretty badly.

Martial has fallen victim to Rooney being undropable and Memphis playing like shit.

No doubt and we'll get landed again with another player whose not good enough that we overpaid for and wonder why we're shit. Classic United of late.

I hope it's someone like Lucas or isco and not Felipe Anderson.
 
Getting James Rodriguez would be similar to getting Mata - a big name player that is not exactly what we need and who doesn't have the pace nor is he in the correct position to help solve our biggest problems at the minute.

No thanks.

This guy would be a great signing. Will not happen though.
 
Do we go proven or take a punt on an unproven talent?

If the latter, I'd love for us to sign Fulham's Moussa Dembele. He'd be a Martial-esque signing.

He is a fantastic player, no doubt. The biggest problem I have is that he is not a RW and is not fast enough to help us penetrate stacked defences. He works with two rapid players outside of him that he can do his intricate passing to and who take away attention from him.

He is good on the right, Ranieri used him there in a 442.
 
How on earth has Isco only played 12 minutes in 5 matches? That's insane.

Guessing he's on about purely league matches:

29/11/15: Eibar (A (2:0 L)) - serving suspension
05/12/15: Getafe (H (4:1 W)) - serving suspension
13/12/15: Villarreal (A (1:0 L)) - Isco replaced Modric (for the 12 mins), Kovacic replaced Casemiro, Jese replaced Marcelo
20/12/15: Rayo Vallecano (H (10:2 W)) - Vazquez replaced Marcelo, Kovacic replaced Rodriguez, Arbeloa replaced Bale - Isco left on bench
30/12/15: Real Sociedad (H (3:1 W)) - Kovacic replaced Rodriguez, Vazquez replaced Benzema, Casemiro replaced Modric - Isco left on bench

He played 90 mins against Malmö on the 8th Dec and got three assists, then was ignored after that. No matter how well he does, when Modric, Kroos and Rodriguez are all fit, they're preferred, and it seems that Benitez prefers Kovacic and Casemiro over Isco too.

Ah I see, thanks for clarification. That makes a little more sense. Still pretty nutty nonetheless.

His good technical actions do not always end in something useful ( assists , passing,attacks,etc ) ,he makes the game slower keeping too much the possesion , he does not like to defend. James accelerates the game, his actions are often more useful and is tactically better (in my opinion).
According to the press he didn´t play the last two games because was punished for Benitez (a video in the bench laughing to see Kroos)

I know some Madrid fans who are convinced he's off in the summer.

He might leave but everything can change in a couple of months with a new coach and some confidence.
Anyway I don't see him signing with any club until the end of the Euro
 
Kroos like Herrera is best deployed as the attacking midfielder in a 3 man midfield. He'd be an excellent addition to take Fellaini spot in the 4-1-4-1 we played last season but he's not remotely good enough defensively to play in a midfield two.

So,

Martial---Rooney---Mata (new RW)
----Kroos-----Herrera----
-----Schneiderlin--------

?

Yeah something like that, if Carrick and Rooney were younger or more dependable, this would be brilliant.

Rooney
Martial Kroos Herrera Young
Carrick
With things the way they are, this won't be half bad. Kroos is good for goals if played in an advanced position too.

Martial
Young Kroos Herrera <Mane>
Schneiderlin​
