There is no youth. Anderson is not a kid anymore and keeps getting injured else. We're short on numbers as well as quality
Which midfielder should Moyes buy ?

It's a shame Ben Pearson is 1-2 years too young, he is a brilliant young talent, and has a lot of the qualities we need in CM right now..
Yeah very true. He'd have the added bonus of being able to play both next to and instead of Carrick.
Yep, he's really a good prospect and could be a very good player for us. But we should strengthen the squad now, he won't be ready for the first team in 2-3 years IMO.
I'm sure we can take the rejection. What's the alternative: don't ever try for any special players?
Jonathon dos santos looked good for Barca tonight...how many attacking central midfielders do barca need!
How long till the end of the transfer window?
Better addition than Fellaini?
Etienne Capoue as Carrick cover. Cardiff currently have the highest bid according to them, obviously he's holding out for a better club. Fee expected to be around £9 million
It has to be Gundogan.
The Caf would explode with jizz and rightly so but it's not gonna happen.
Buy all the midfielders!!
Verratti, if he signs a 5 or 6 year contract and doesn't want to leave if Juventus/Madrid/Barca wants him.
Has always been him for me. He'd be the perfect solution for the next 10 years and would link up brilliantly with RvP
Didn't realise Strootman went to Roma.. 
Shame he would not be on the market for any price....I thought this thread was about players we might have a chance of getting
Didn't realise Strootman went to Roma..
Some caftards begging him to sign for United to the point of e-harassment made him decide to go to Roma.
Which top player is really available? It's more about making a great offer that makes the club think.
People here are mentioning Modric - if he s available. i see modric's style very similar to older Scholes while Fabregas reminds me of young Scholes. Not bad either option...
Didn't realise Strootman went to Roma..
Some still think its nailed on that he'll sign for us
It took me sadly losing an argument with a mate saying 'I still think signing Strootman is a priority....' to find out he'd in fact signed for Roma.. Oops.
Maybe we'll take him on loan
Tom ince and Felliani . Job done.
There is a month left still, which is plenty of time, but who is there left to sign, realistically, that can improve us there? That's the most worrying part.
Fabregas seems off and Modric is unlikely so I'd settle for Fellaini and/or McCarthy right now.
Best case scenario: Modric or (preferably) Fabregas + Fellaini or (preferably) McCarthy.
Worst case scenario: Fellaini.
Worst case scenario: Fellaini.
Southampton have apparently made a bid for Banega.
If they get him they are shaping up to having a very decent team.

What's the deal about McCarthy? Loads here seem to rate him yet i see none of the supposedly bigger clubs in the PL making a move for him? As far as i can recall, only Fulham came in with a lowball offer and was rejected
Tottenham are supposedly the most likely to sign him, as an upgrade on Parker. Everton have been linked too (because of Martinez I'd guess).
If dortmund really want Kagawa then should we not demand Gundogan and keep Rooney in his favorite position! Sorted!
They got Wanyama and Lovren too I think. Pochettino is building up a very good young team there, and they already have quality youngsters in Shaw and Clyne in defence, and Ramirez, Schneiderlin, Lallana all in midfield, and a few good attackers. Pretty impressive actually for a team that only just got in the premier league last season.
Chelsea?
I was going to bumped this thread to ask the same question as Sata about McCarthy - he seems to be so highly rated on here, I'm surprised he's still a Wigan player.

Wigan want £20 million for him, and that's not a fair price for him.
I guess you can't blame Wigan for being optimistic in the present market, though it's probably putting off potential bidders.
Sounded like a great team till the random inclusion of Cork
I was stating their promising youngsters... And he's only 20 or so right? Plenty of time to be a decent footballer.
Edit: actually he's 24.. Ignore him then, I'll just erase that
Claudio Marchisio name as cropped up again,Corriere dello Sport reporting we will be in for him when the Fabregas deal fails.
He is a central midfielder but played in front of Medel and Kondogbia as more of an AM and was Sevilla's best player last season
