Sir Alex has said he isn't buying a holding/defensive midfielder, no point in wishing for one IMO, he would hardly lie about it.

But he isnt going to come straight out and say he is after one though is he?

No, but then he would just keep it quiet, not say anything at all.

mjf55:

Frankly speaking , do we have funds to sign new big-name players? I heard too much about there were no valued players in the market.

Frankly speaking, thevfact we tabled 30m for Hazard means we do.

Mirror today, says he is tabling a 14Million move for Strootman............The new Roy Keane????

Well if the Mirror is reporting it then it must be true! I wouldn't wipe my hole with that paper.

Powell and Kagawa are attacking midfielders, not strikers.

Well we have Carrick, Cleverley, Scholes, Giggs, Fletcher, Anderson as our CM's at the minute, Scholes and Giggs aren't getting any younger, Fletcher has his problems we still don't know the situation on him but even if he does come back he won't feature a great deal, Ando will be sold imo.

What we need is a strong and powerful CM who can break up play but can also create and score the odd goal, someone like Martinez or Strootman imo. Also don't forget that we have players like Tunnicliffe, Petrucci etc who might be called up next season.

I agree. I haven't seen much of Tunnicliffe or Petrucci, do you think either or both are ready for the PL?

We need to improve our Midfield, and Tighten up at the back for this coming season......Everyone know, that these are the area's, we looked most vulnerable last season.........We scored enough goals, but conceded too easy, at times last term..........If we buy a strong, top class, Box to Box midfield enforcer, that can score, and create goals, and Maybe a Full back, we can win our title back....IMO

ye,if are current midfield players arn't up to the job i think we should sell fletch and carrick and buy a DM,ONLY if fletch can't do what he could do,if he comes back from his injure in good nick and can still scrap in midfield like were use to see him do. im sure SIR will be happy with the new signin's and ready for action. ps only put carrick's name in the mix to free up space and get a extra few bob,don't think he's united's standard,although imo last season has been his best,but not good enough tbo..

Asamoah is gone, luka is definitely choosing r.m over us..(we are not serious about him unfortunately) Strootman's agent said he's going no where this summer..beside we have 3 playmakers scholes cleverly Anderson, we need to go for the priority at this point LB/DM. Assou Ekotto/Olsson, tiote/M'villa, I would be very happy if we signed modric don't get me wrong but we're not the kind of clubs that spends 60m+ in 1 summer.

Fergie will sign a Top Class Midfielder..............But think Modric will choose Madrid........

I'm pretty sure the greatest manager of all time realizes this mate. Patience.

I think we need tiote strootman and modric personally. I know we wont spent that much in one window but it has to be done.
