Mr Logic Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 RB, LB, CB, CM Doubt we'll get a RB, assuming we get a LB then Santon/Simpson become the RB's. Still need a forward imo, either of Ba or Cisse get injured (go to ACN) and we're short again, 'specially if we're playing a front three more often than not.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I think its a given that Tiote and Ba will leave in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh aye, we definitely need another striker. Perhaps a young striker from the lower leagues? (I'm thinking one of Rodriguez or Rhodes). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistle17 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I think its a given that Tiote and Ba will leave in the summer. Certainly Tiote. Nervous about Ba though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 If we keep up our scouting policy, not especially bothered, if we can sell tiote for loads and bring in 3 or 4 bargains in return I'm happy, as long as 1 or 2 come good. I'd rather we can hold onto players (think we're actually in a strong enough position to hold onto Tiote, he has 4 years yet doesn't he?) but as long as no more repeats of selling without replacement happen, we can do well with our scouting.

Mistle17 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I know we've proved we're capable of replacing players adequately, but I see no need to break up the spine of our team, we should be looking to add to it/build around it. But then again if as ridiculous money offer comes in then I guess it must be considered. Can't see Chelsea throwing money about this summer, so only Man City realistically can I see making huge offers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't know who'd pay the required sum for Tiote. Chelsea or Liverpool at a push, but I'd still be very surprised. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Liverpool won't, they don't need him. Lucas will be back from injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Can see both Chelsea and Man U wanting him, not sure either will have the cash lying around though. I think we could keep hold of him, but dunno if he wants to go... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 There on course for over 90 points without playing a defensive midfielder. No reason to change that, especially not for Cheick Tiote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andrew Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Yeah, best not to buy a quality ball winning mid, especially with them brimming with options. Let's not forget Carrick, Giggs and Scholes with their combined pace of a pea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Man Utd definitely need a good DM imo. Getting constantly outplayed in Europe proved that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Man Utd definitely need a good DM imo. Getting constantly outplayed in Europe proved that. More to do with the general quality in midfield than having a designated defensive midfielder. They've got on just fine without a defensive midfielder for years.

Guest andrew Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Still think that they need someone like him for the big games and a different option to their slow but technical types. I haven't been convinced by their actual performances this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletcher was doing a great job until he couldn't stop shitting himself. Giggs and Scholes can't last 90 minutes and Carrick is the invisible man.

Guest andrew Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Yep. Giggs and scholes are decrepid and won't last that much longer. Fletcher is oot and they've had some poor games this year where their midfield has struggled to dominate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think they need strengthening there considering there's been times this season they've gone with Park and Giggs as a central midfield pair. It's a blackhole considering the level they're competing at. To say they specifically need a holding midfielder is daft though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
