My problem with Uniteds midfield is the quality of it. On the wings I think we are very good. Through the center though, we have a lot of work to be done still:
Giggs: At his age, we cannot rely on him much
Scholes: Same as Giggs
Anderson: Just not good enough
Fletcher: Bad illness, will he be ready for next year? Who knows
Cleverley: Young, has some some good play and some average play. He just needs time
Carrick: Had a good season last year, but is missing that wow factor. You never expect a piercing ball which splits the defence with him
Park: Been a good servant, but again, at the end of his career now
Now with that said, I think a mixture of both quality and quantity are needed really. I personally would much rather sign Dembele (10m), Fellaini (17-20m), Martinez (25m), Cabaeye (15-17m), Tiote (18-20m), Willian (20m? not really sure),
Ok, so I am not saying buy all of them, I just mean 2, but I think with the signing of Kagawa, in a lot of games, we may implement a 451 with Kagawa just behind Rooney. This means we need to good central midfielders. Carrick can play the role really well, just sat behind the main attack, giving the ball to our attack, but I think Dembele and Fellaini also sat in there would do a great job. What you get from them two is power, the ability to win the ball higher up the pitch, and with Dembele, you have a player that can run with the ball, spread the ball, and start an attack in which Valencia, Young, Kagawa and Rooney can finish off....(I went a bit off subject and I am sorry for that, but yes, id prefer a few players rather than modric
