It's less ridiculous, but still clearly not the best way of lining up a United XI.

Agreed, even with our depleted option in midifeld I still wouldn't play Fellaini there in a 3 over Jones.

Yeah at least he knows which positions people play which is something i guess compared to Custis.

As you say no width and far too pedestrian, would drop Fellaini put Valencia/Januzaj right and Rooney left and then it doesn't look too bad. I think Duckers line up was based around getting Rvp Mata & Rooney in their best positions and not much thought to anything else.

Yeah that does seem to be the main thinking behind his line-up despite LvG saying his system comes before the individuals. From what we have now I'd go Raf/Smalling/Evans/Shaw as the back 4, Herrera/Jones/Rooney as the midfield 3 and Mata/RvP/Januzaj as the front 3.
 
Random comparison. Here's my random comparison question: Was Kagawa the new Ronaldo?

No, that's silly and I would never imply that comparison, the way you did here:

Three years ago we signed Suarez, you didn't care at the time. Then Rodgers signed Coutinho and Sturridge together, same indifference. Now we have Lallana and Markovic, two completely uninspiring players.

He's from Serbia?

Whats the craic with his name - "Freddie Boswell"?

That's a character from that old Liverpool-based comedy show back in the day, called "Bread".

He must be a Pool fan. That's the only conclusion i can make of it. There's no way they've shown "Bread" on Serbia Tv..

Did you know Aufwiedersein pet was called "Guten tag meine frauen" in Germany?
 
The wages could be the deciding factor. As much as he loves Juventus, this could be his last big contract. We could pay him huge money compared to Juventus.

Christian is definately on the ball with his contacts in European football

He ain't from Serbia, he's a scouser. Don't think he's a Pool fan though.

He knows his stuff and has contacts either way, owns a scouting company which covers basically the whole of Europe including all the obscure leagues etc aswell as South America.

Sound, didnt make any sense the Freddie Boswell & Serbian thingy.

But whats the craic with the bolded part from FTB's post though?

EFP Scouting thing is his scouting company he owns, they cover worldwide but I know he's based abroad somewhere so I'm guessing it's Serbia and that's what that is.
 
Is this the guy?


Di Maria to Pool, would have been an attempt for Real to get Suarez for £35m or so.

Not that believing any of the story of course, but that would have been the only reason in my opinion. Impossible to believe Di Maria would swop Madrid for Liverpool either. Massive difference in culture / English language (doh-dee-doh) & his gaff would be robbed every 2nd week more importantly..
 
Di Maria would be a brilliant signing but I'd then have to question Rodgers about why he didn't go and sign him before spunking a load of money on other attacking midfielders. They need depth but £20m+ squad players doesn't make much sense IMO.
 

Pastore = 20 -25 million
LUcas = 15 million (low but quoted by le parisan in euros!)
Verrati = 30 million

Thats 65-70 million spent and most of our problems solved. Instead of pastore, we should rather try for matuidi. He would be a great signing if we cant get vidal.
 


I can see Pastore ending up at Tottenham especially with Pochettino as their manager. He is only about 24 isn't he? Seemed like a brilliant prospect at Palermo with the likes of Real and Barca supposedly after him. Silly of him to go to PSG if their interest was genuine.

What would do with Pastore ? That would be pointless. Juve seem interested in him though so that might maybe tempt them to encash Vidal.

Matuidi yeah, but doubt they will sell him. Marquinhos looks tough as well.

He also rejected us at 18!
 
I was going to suggest Lucas, but then I thought I'd prefer if we just bought Di Maria ourselves rather than enable PSG to.
This.

Massive muppet idea there. Can you imagine the wages between the 3 of them coming from PSG, not to mention the fact that we have no use for a pretty average (in my opinion) Pastore.

Doubt it too, especially after he renewed his contract. He'd do wonders for our midfield though.

Pastore can play on the left wing, its where he made his name. Although i do agree we do have players like kagawa and mata who can do that role.
I would like us to go for marquinhos too. He looks a classy defender and maybe not needed as they have luiz now. In reality we will sign de jong and blind maybe vermalin and be done with it.
