Summer Transfer Window

[pieman123]

Rvp
Januzaj Mata Di Maria
Blind Herrera

Now, somebody explain to me where Rooney plays. And for the love of God, don't say in the hole, and Mata on the left. Mata isn't a ******* winger.​

Rooney will probably play from the left drifting in. Similar to when Bebatov or Tevez was leading the line

 

[Cruyff14]

RVP-Rooney
Januzaj-Mata-Di Maria
Blind/Herrera

Because that formation will work a treat. You won't be overrun in midfield at all.

Whats wrong with Herrera and Blind/De Jong? Pretty balanced midfield

De Jong would be a different case, but he isn't exactly gonna be full of legs as he ages. Blind battles manfully but he isn't a top class holding mid

Herrera does his best work going further forward, I can't see how you can play him then have Mata at no.10.

Di Maria's fine wherever I guess, but it's still the matter of fitting both Rooney and Van Persie together up front somehow. One of them's your captain and another is Van Gaal's favourite, who's gonna get dropped

Then you have either Jones Evans or Smalling at centre back, Rojo we'll see how he does at centre back.

It seems pretty unbalanced still, it's up to Van Gaal to make it all work in a functional system

RVP-Rooney
Januzaj-Mata-Di Maria
Blind/Herrera

If Herrera is your deepest player in midfield then every team will be licking their lips

 

[Cruyff14]

Blind is also about as fast as a tortoise.

I'm using that so you can see what formation is good. I do not care how they go about in a video game.

 

[Cruyff14]

That's still not an accurate representation.

Mateja Kezman was dutch player of the year and top scorer 2 years running in the Eredivisie before coming to England and being completely useless, form in that league doesn't always translate to the EPL.

 

[Magma]

herrera as a holding midfielder would be a dream for anyone with a decent midfield.

utd need a midfield enforcer. someone like fernando would've been perfect for them. carrick and fletcher are past it. fellaini will never be it.

they're fine on the creative part and up top. they're going to need proper wingback backup to shaw and rafael. probably also need a top class centreback. rojo is good, but that's all he is, good.

Yeh any transfer is risky but a lot of Eredivise players have done well in the EPL as well.

 

[SuperCats9]

I'm sure LVG has something up his sleeve.

All will work out

Even that formation is unrealistic and laughable

You seem jealous? How good was Sanchez yesterday? Oh wait

He's played two games at a new club.

Continue living in your world of delusion where you think playing six attacking players will work out well.

 

[Cooldude]

Saying others are jealous of your trophy signings, that's like Newcastle 10 years ago

If they bought Vidal I would've been seriously afraid, Di Maria, concerned, but not that afraid

What the hell are you on about, i said were going to play 4 attackers not 6, we will be using the squad and it will be nice to have some depth on the bench not duds like Young as our backup

Young won't be backup, he'll be your first choice LWB.

RvP, Rooney, Mata, Di Maria

Good luck not getting overrun in midfield with them all starting.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

4-4-2 Diamond would fit everyone in, just swap Januzaj for a DM.

RVP Rooney
Mata
Herrera Di Maria
DM

Attacking full-backs for width.

 

[manureid]

Di Maria is not a position of need. The issue is if he available can you turn down the chance to sign him? Probably not, but on his own he is not going to solve our defensive and midfield issues. I would hope/expect some other moves are in the pipeline, but we shall see I guess.

Lol Young is 3rd choice at lwb now with Rojo and Shaw there and how is having 4 attacking players and 2 midfielders goong to get overrun? Pretty much every club uses 4 attacking players if not more.

Please demonstrate how those four can play within any formation.

It would work if they played 4-4-2, those days went out the window some years ago though.

And it still would leave them light in MF if Herrera was DM.
