Just play a 4-1-1-4 and forget about the midfield.

Only if we offer at least £20m for him.
Benfica would charge us through the teeth for him.
Haha Very funny...
We will be Pot 1 and Braga and Benfica will be Pot 2. We are ascending in Uefa ranking and are only 2 points behind Italy. PORTUGAL!
Ibra left Milan this season, which means a guaranteed CL success for them. But it won't matter I guess, since Juve will crash out in the group stages.
That image genuinely sends shivers down my spine; it's like looking into a mushroom.
Hard to tell really... If we're gonna boot out Nani, we better do it quick and invest that money.

In what pot is Juve in Yurt? Sorry but in this case, I really want us to pass Italy in the ranking
. Oh and it would be great if we met you guys in the group stages

EDIT:
1. Spain - 73.239
2. England - 69.320
3. Germany - 64.043
4. Italy - 51.731
5. Portugal - 50.001
6. France - 49.083
The ranking
France noo
i don't really know why united fans want dembele now we have kagawa and van persie. he's talented but the team is near unbalanced already. the problem with the midfield isn't with players operating between the lines or surging forwards to create chances through the middle anymore, it's with the lack of a tackling midfielder to adequately protect the defense as much as carrick tries and scholes being too old to rely on as a deeper lying player focused on ball retention and distributing it to the scores of attacking players.
Fellaini would probably cost £25-30m in all likelihood. Definitely out of United's price range.
Another one from Maicosuel. He dumped Botafogo out of the 2009 Copa do Brasil.

Third!! So yeah, a group of death!
They'll have a bit of change from the sale of Nani & Rooney

Walcott turned down a 75K contract? I'm offended he was even offered that much
Yeah... Not happening especially Rooney. People have to drop this shit with Rooney transferring out. Like what was said before we're not Arsenal in selling all our star players.
If Zenit have actually bid £25m, it's possible Fergie would sell. Not too sure on who/if they'll invest in the team again this summer.
For CM, there was apparently an agreement for Herrera (Mexican CM/DM) to join in January so there's the possibility Fergies happy with the team for now and then will bring him into the team in January.
I think United have more money to spend than most realize.

3rd choice he said. If we do bring in another striker then I expect Defoe would leave.
He probably seen that Man Utd offered Welbeck 75k a week and wants more.

I don't know if it was posted here, but Mundo Deportivo said there were offers from Spurs, Liverpool and Schalke.
City, United, Chelsea, Spurs.
That's the top 4 this season IMO. Even before their 2 draws, I thought Arsenal would be lucky to finish top 6 let alone top 4.
They were doing amazing last season, until Redknapp got distracted. You really don't know with AVB also.

Dembele is good...I just don't think he is the player we need. Granted our midfield is kinda pants so he would have been an upgrade, sure.
But, I think we need players who operate deeper on the pitch. We need a solid DM option and a deep lying playmaker type player. Somebody who can what Scholes has been doing, who sits and dictates tempo. Our problem is controlling games, to do that we need players who are strong and can help win the ball back quickly and snuff out opposition attacks, and players who can pass the ball superbly well and consistently for a full 90 minutes, every week.
Players like M'Vila, Modric, Sahin, Asamoah are the ones who have moved in this window (M'Vila hasn't moved yet..) who we really could have done with. What Dembele showed is that our midfield is easy to break through. We need a player who will stop that from happening. Maybe Dembele is that guy...I just don't see that as his position.
We play with such high wingers and attacking full backs that committing more players forwards from midfield isn't really what we should be looking to do.

Thursday.
I'd be fine with that. Defoe has worked hard under AVB but he will never be ideal as a lone striker. I really like the look of Aubameyang from St Etienne, hopefully the rumoured interest was accurate.

How have the club found themselves in this position with RVP and Walcott? If you're willing to sell them, then have a replacement prepared. Really poor management to see how things are going. Frankly, its an embarrassment.
Luiz Gustavo, but i think Bayern will retain him as a defensive specialist and sell Tymo instead. A 15-20m offer might do the job, though.
It's a good thing midfield ability doesn't exactly correlate with physical presence.
See: Modric.
I don't even know why I'm arguing though, Dembele's a monster. Fantastic signing.

Is it a loan deal?
Haha no, Luiz Gustavo is the most important player to stop teams like Dortmund, Real Madrid or even Barcelona. He's obviously not for sell.
They can have Tymo, tho
Spurs have cracked the Top 4 twice in the last three seasons. They're there or thereabouts when it comes to Champions League qualification. Levy run the club very well so the also have money to spend.
They're an enticing club.
Great planning UEFA. #basedmarwood can't be in two places at once.
He can't be attending the draw and wrapping deals up.
I'm really wondering what's stopping Fergie in getting M'Vila. He represents wholly value in the market.
I don't know maybe Fergie sees that Carrick is dependable enough in CM to get the job done. So far 1 loss and 1 win with a fucked up defense.
I don't know why Arsenal fans are so content to see him leave. He scored 11 and assisted 13 last season; considering how Arsenal have begun the season I don't think that's to be scoffed at, especially when Gervinho's starting ahead of him.
Yes.
We also have the state of the art training facility opening in the next few weeks, it's one of the best in Europe and the journos who were shown around said it was the best of all the PL clubs. The new stadium is also coming. We are a club on the up.
