KaKa Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Man Utd are all over the place at the minute. No idea what they're doing. Keep buying midfielders, which is what they seem to have enough of already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Playing a full season inc champions league with only Rooney and Wilson (?) will be utter lunacy, they have to spaff some wedge on strikers surely? Do Maria /Cavani swap surely makes a degree of sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Don't really get the idea that because they spend a load of money they should be challenging, it matters about the quality of team they put out on the pitch and i'm not particularly convinced they are good enough yet. By the end of the summer they might be but as of now not at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the end of the summer they might be but as of now not at all. honestly they don't seem to be spending it that well tbh, do they need schweinsteiger and schneiderlin, when they already have fellaini, carrick blind and herrera to play in central midfield, sure sign one of them but both seems excessive when they need a top class striker and a top class goalkeeper, they could do with a top quality cb though not as urgently as the striker/goalkeeper need.

Interpolic Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Even if they spend an absolute fuckload it's no guarantee of success like. Some players from foreign leagues hit the ground running but loads of them need time to settle. Not sure if there are many examples of a club changing more than half of their first eleven then going on to win the league, there might be a couple but it's not common.

Stottie Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 In the fifteen years before Moyes 7th and LVG 4th, the team with the largest wage bill never finished outside the top three. Even Citeh didn't manage it. Man U's money people projected third for LVG's first season in their reports. Rather than looking at it as some kind of "project", it sounds like the pressure is on for results soon, if the sacking of Moyes after little opportunity to change the squad doesn't indicate that already.

Optimistic Nut Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 How much was Rooney in 2004...£25m-£30m? Don't see the difference between that and Sterling. I think he'll be a great player for Man City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Rooney is and was twice the player Sterling is and cost 20m less. City don't need to worry about money. They just get who they want, whatever the cost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Rooney is and was twice the player Sterling is and cost 20m less. City don't need to worry about money. They just get who they want, whatever the cost. Fees and wages have risen significantly since 2004, and I don't think Rooney at that age was twice the player either. The deals are quite comparable and only time will tell which one will have been the best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Rooney was way more complete already at a young age man. That's no slight on Sterling mind, players develop at different rates but imo it;s no where near certain how good Sterling will become. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ads Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Rooney had already done things that made him stand out at that age though when at Everton. What's Sterling done? Don't doubt that there's potential there but the fee is absolutely disgusting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Aye, Sterling with Aguero, Toure & Silva might be what closes the gap back on Chelsea next season. Think he compliments those three in particular well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the end of the summer they might be but as of now not at all. the most expensive team in history, should be challenging, thats pretty obvious tbh. i agree, theyre not quite good enough yet, but they should be, given what theyve spent and who they are. theyve wasted loads i think, but the pressure will be on lvg to deliver the title i think.

Don't doubt that there's potential there but the fee is absolutely disgusting. I would argue Sterling has performed better for Liverpool than Rooney did at Everton. It wasn't until Euro 2004 that he really turned it on. Then Ferguson got his paws on him and made him less exciting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
