Volcom, there are over 60 games in a season mate, you asked me for a formation that worked, that works and unfortunately in football, you have to play with the team infront and who are in form, competition is a healthy thing and if one player is playing better then that player is picked, simple as that, if you have two players for every position, then form is what is important, not being dealt a shed load of injuries or not having enough cover full stop and having to pick that, we have been caught short far too many times and these two additions are world class or will be in a year or two time, we need to stop worrying about having to drop certain people, we need to move forward and show we can still play exciting attacking football and bring in the big players.

It doesn't matter how many games there are a season. You can't have 3 young first team strikers for one available position. If we play Rooney upfront, without selling Nani but with signing both Kagawa and Hazard, it means Welbeck will be rotating with Rooney. Chicha will hardly get a start.

This is how it could and most probably work

kinda like a barca formation

With both players we would have so many option but for me i think Rooney should be right up top because he is a top quality finisher. http://www.footballuser.com/formations/2012/05/412241_Manchester_United.jpg

Fluid front 4, a no striker formation, this would definitely work, Rooney would not be a lone striker as all 4 players would swap and change...

this sacrifices valencia young welbeck and chico tho....

Football coach mate ;) know a little bit about football haha, that formation scares me and it would scare a lot of teams I feel...

Thank you, at least somebody understands how that team would play.

simple 4411 with kagawa in midfield and hazard behind rooney!!!! i think this would be awesome

How on earth are we to fit these two guys in which ultimately leads me to think we ARENT signing both. i think it will be kagawa we get but if we are to get both then a drastic change in our system is needed or else a number of players will miss out.

its really strange to hear us being linked with getting both and thus its strange to hear us changing our formation and system which i dont think would happen under ferguson.

USE THIS WEBSITE GUYS :) http://www.footballuser.com/post

Here is a couple i thought of.

the problem with this is kagawa is deep, he is not a central midfielder however fergie might have different plans. the second problem is that * IMPORTANT - hazard wants first team football, he stated he will choose the team best for him with regular starting position. i dont think he would get that as it would leave either nani young on the bench consistently.

second idea has rooney as a lone striker which people do not fancy

I actually think this could be our best line up. yes we miss out on rooney creating from deep. but fact is we have a good finisher up front that we dont have to mould and he has shown so 3 seasons ago when he hit 30 odd in a lone position and we wouldnt miss out because kagawa has took the role that has been left. with hazard and valencia on the wings we dont only have power.....but lightening fast players and ONE MAJOR IMPORTANT FACTOR - DIRECT. Valencia and hazard , if you have watche dthem, are within a low list of players that are direct...meaning as soon as they get the ball, they look to beat their man instantly instead of passing out again. this is why valencia and an IN FORM nani are so threatening.

the best part is midfield ....cleverley is going to be our best player in my opinion next season. having watched him grow up and enjoyed his early season he has one major benefit that NONE bar scholes in our team seem to have from midfield.

..........he passes.........and instantly moves into space.

watch all our early season games where we were so called amazing, you will notice it was because of our one touch passing. and yyou will notice this was so fluid and possible because of tom.....he was always moving forward with one twos....and the ball was kept moving.

HE ALONE is the reason why i have high hopes next season. so under rated and has a ridiculous injury prone tag. honestly....watch his performances....he is always moving into space and moving FORWARD.....where as the rest of our players in cm seem to keep safe and possession and thus leaves us rigid at times ......hence our rigid 4-4-2 tag.

so people if anyone read all i had to say i thank you and hope you share a resonable respectful opinion.

i know there is alot of threads on these two transfer targets but i wanted to create a different lone one SOLELY one formation of fitting BOTH into our lineup. hopefully someone will persuade me that signing both and fitting them in is possible. also....it looks like anderson is leaving, he supposedly has been made available for a transfer.

so go onto the website i provided if you want, i create some formations that will include kagawa and hazard in one line up........again this is the reason as to why i DONT think it is possible we will get both.

peace
