So we have made three purchases already this summer but it is obvious to all that the one type of player we have all been asking for since Scholesy lost some mobility and Hargo became a perma-crock has not yet been signed.
Clearly this United team needs something extra in the middle of the park, it is soft there and we were often overrun away from home.
Last season Darren Fletcher really didn’t reach the heights of the previous two seasons. I would like to think that this was just an aberration and we will see him back to his barn-storming best next season. Carrick blew hot and cold, I tend to think he plays better without Paul Scholes, as he always seemed in awe of the Ginger Prince (quite rightly) and he would be subservient to him in his play not using his great passing range and creativity. Whilst Ando also showed glimpses of what he can do, I think with a full preseason behind him for the first time this coming season could be his best. Finally Park had a few goes in there too.
So to return to the transfer market. Ashley Young has arrived and like Valencia he is capable of playing a CAM role in a five man midfield. Also Phil Jones has arrived and many have spoken about how he can be used as a DM, although I tend to think he will be an out and out defender. There was a lot of talk about Rio being able to do the same when he was younger, but it never really worked and I believe the same will probably happen with Jones.
So how many players should come in to the midfield? With Cleverly coming back the issue is somewhat clouded but my belief is that only one is really needed, although two would be preferred.
But who will he/they be?
There has been a mention of Samir Nasri and he really is the right type of player, but if not Nasri who else is there? With City and Chelsea apparently copying us in the transfer market will we even get the man we want?
We are fairly well stocked in the defensively midfield position but a boost wouldn’t go amiss. However creativity is key for me. I for one would like sign Nasri; as well as being a good fit for the team it would be a massive coup for United to snag him from Arsenal and joining United could help Nasri fully reach his potentially.
I’d like to if there is a deal to be done it will be completed very soon, as with so many signings I think it is key that they are integrated during the summer tour. But don’t put nothing past Sir Alex though every year we seem to have a last minute splurge so this year’s may leave us smiling.
Will you relax, do you honestly think SAF and the rest of the United braintrust are not working on a number of possible deals? SAF will do whatever is within his means to get the players we need to keep United at the top
Please Sir Alex, Try Your best and put in all You have to sign Samir Nasri from Arsenal.He’s the type of player we need at this point in time. Buy Him. Buy Him.. Buy Him…
I, for one, would very much welcome Nasri. He is Arsenal’s best player last season,along with RVP.
If he comes to United, he’ll have the No. 4 shirt waiting for him.
for what sir alex done so far, am very happy with that, but as a united fan we need a creative mildfeilder like nasri, modric bt if that wil not b posibble let sir alex cheak around and get mildfilder for us.
I believe City and Chelsea are deliberately sabotaging our target with price hikes making them pricey.Nasri wants United but Wenger loathes the idea.We should up the ante,go for broke for Sneijder or lass and Nasri we need power in middle of the pack to stop attacks reaching our rear.Bring back Keano days of rugged midfield.
Nasri will be a very good addition to the united squad but i doubt if wenger will sell him to any english club. Inter and bayern are also interested in his services.
be him nasri or any other midfield player,i believe Sir alex will sign a midfieder.
Nasri is good player that man u wil ned his service,and wil ned him in our MDF so i pray sir sud try an make sure we get him.
Please Sir Alex, Try Your best and put in all You have to sign Samir Nasri from Arsenal.He’s the type of player we need at this moment.Buy him.Buy him..Buy him…
SAF pls sign us sniejder since wenger wants to sell nasri to noisy neighbours and sniejder posseses scholes quality.
u r mistaken to say that utd have a stock pile of def. mid, infact we have none. what utd really need is 2 DMs or one DM and a combative centre midfielder. we dont need players like sneijder or nasri. rooney ,nani, young are more than enough creativity what we need is a schweinsteiger or a lassana diarra. players than can help out the defence and also setup attacks. it is high time utd start outmuscling their opponents.
