Ok, so we aren't interested in Kroos, we had the chance to sign Fabregas but turned it down. Is our top option a £30 million injured Strootman who would cost more than both of them and, quite frankly, isn't better? I hope not. But, if he were to be our top CM target then I would take it.
 
It's sort of like in van Gaal we have the exact opposite of Moyes. Moyes seemed like he wanted to buy any and every big name player he could regardless of where they'd play or who they'd replace. LVG, however, seems to be willing to pass up quality players if they don't meet his requirements and his system.
 
Fabregas is not the type of midfielder we needed imo so I think it was right not to sign him.

Agree with this, we need a real athlete in the middle of the park that can get up and down the pitch. We need someone who can start attacks with beating a man as well as picking a pass. We need Vidal.
 
He's better than all of our midfielders so that's not really true
So in that case we should sign any midfielder that is better than our current bunch? We have to sign a player that will add what we need to midfield. We need an athletic midfielder with pace and energy.
 
Fabregas:"Everyone knows that Arsenal had the 1st option to sign me. They decided not to take this option & therefore it wasn't meant to be"

Wow.

I'm astonished that we were not interested at that price. Here's to a summer of chasing ungettable midfielders and ending up with nothing by the end. United have been a shambles for 12 months - I hope we have a plan.

Of course we have a plan. Whether it'll work is another matter.

It it a realistic plan though, or pie in the sky stuff like last summer? I have no faith in the club based on the mess we've seen in the last 12 months. On transfers, we've spent more on Fellaini than Chelsea have paid for Fabregas, a player that we apparently don't feel we need, despite it being abundantly clear that he's great. We also spent nigh on £40m on Mata despite being stacked out in his position.

Our player recruitment has been dire.

. He was available at a good price and he's easily better than we have so we should of gone for him. We need another midfielder also. Chasing an injured Strootman won't do anything for us next season
 
From what I remember, he was box-to-box at Arsenal? It's not like you forget these things once you stop playing there.

And to my second question of who we can get that is of similar quality?

He is an offensive box to box we need a solid one, we need someone to compensate Kagawa and Mata weakness, Because i'm pretty sure that one of them is going to be the "Litmanen" in van Gaal set up.
 
Witsel, Gonalons, Iturraspe, Bender, Strootman, Mccarthy, even M'vila (but he is a prick and not very professional)

Witsel is a good shout. Strootman injured till January, McCarthy isnt good enough (yet), M'Vila??? Hes got a shocking attitude and an a typical holding player - not what LVG wants in my eyes.

Ive not seen enough of the others to comment to be honest.

You're right about M'Vila he has the level and the potential but his attitude is killing his career. Mccarthy is good enough if we play as a team.
