De Gea, Romero, Valdez, Darmian, Valencia, Jones, Smalling, Rojo, Blind, Shaw, Carrick, Schweinsteiger, Herrera, Schneiderlin, Mata, Young, Fellaini, Depay, Martial and Rooney. Add to that McNair, Lingard, Pereira and Wilson. So around 24 players.

One-two attacking players and possibly a defender short IMO.
 
If it means players like Lingard, Pereira, and Wilson will get plenty of minutes then I'm ok with it. These kids have got ability, understand the club, and we've got to give them an opportunity. Sadly, I don't think they will - we will see fellaini shoehorned in anywhere in front of these lads.
 
Romero, DDG
Darmian, Valencia, Smalling, Jones, Rojo, Blind, McNair, Shaw
Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger, Carrick, Herrera, Mata,
Young, Depay, Martial, Rooney, Wilson, Pereira, Fellaini

Agree. Griezmann and Laporte for example and i would have been very happy. As it stands, we lack a bit.
 
Yeah Martial and Rooney can play up top but one is in shit form and other is A youngster in a new league.

Besides if they play centrally we are just left with mata Memphis and young wide.

Why the hell did we loan Januzaj?

With those two and a settled De Gea, this team would have fought hard for the title and UCL.

As it is, we need to be very lucky with injuries, and Rooney to somehow become good again in order to have any chance of doing well.

We have de gea. If he plays we'll defo get fourth at least.

Think I'm the only one who realises how much of an impact he's had on us over the last two years.
 
This is bizarre, an injury to Rooney (no matter how crap he is) and we're fecked. It's madness to expect Martial to lead the line and Felliani hardly has the pace and creativity Van Gaal said we lacked. Big gamble not to bring someone else in.
 
Another way to look at it is that Memphis, Martial, Rooney and Wilson can play anywhere across the front three. We don't lack forward options, per se. We just lack another forward who is a central specialist.
 
How many league goals do you expect from them. I would say 25-30 total. I would want that from one player.
Depends how Martial settles. If he carries his rate of improvement since becoming a starter for Monaco over to England i can't see how he doesn't score goals.
I'm excited with what he and Memphis brings to the side. It's an entire new dynamic that nobody really has the authority to predict how it will play out.
If Martial is as good as what I'm reading then thats an entire new threat we have going forward and that effects the output of his teammates.

Who also has experience and is proven. Memphis has already proven hit and miss and he's the furthest along of him, Martial and Wilson. We can't expect lots of goals from those lads.

That's true. Or a right winger whose a right wing specialist. That's I think the main thing about our attack. There's not one hazard or Costa or aguero in there. That one player who is really top drawer in his position in an attacking position.

Have to admit I would have liked us to sign a proper right winger too but I suppose we weren't going to get everything in one summer.
 
Lets do a Mata for Greizmann swap deal. feck it. I think they'd accept player plus cash if needed.
