And if Carrick isn't a playmaker, I'd love (or more likley hate) to hear your definition of playmaker. |

Hate to say this but heard a scouse fan on talk sport discussing CL final, and MU strengths and weaknesses. Sadly i agreed!
Defence - Quality (but didn't give good showing in final)but lacks good cover from midfield. Midfield - Good, but not able to either close up shop ala chelski, or keep the ball ala barca. Attack - Quality, but lacks service from midfield. Anderson - Yound player, who should be on the fringes of our 1st elevan, not a starter at this stage in his career. Carrick - Dependable, but unable to own a game and required strong DM next to him. Fletcher - Much improved, but for me still a squad player. Giggs - Age, and a player to come on in big games and not start. Scholes - As above. Hargreaves - Sorely missed. I believe we sorely need an enforcer, and think De Rossi fits the bill perfectly. If not him, then somebody equal. |

Personally, I think we need to cut our losses as far as Hargreaves is concerned; even if he does return to fitness, how do we know he is still going to be the same player (hypothetically, of course) as the one who went off to Canada? It is a huge risk even if he does get playing again. I hope he proves me wrong, but the odds at the moment must surely be stacked against him.
With that in mind, I agree with the previous post that we need an enforcer, and De Rossi would be ideal. We had someone in the newbies a couple of weeks ago claiming to be ITK and claiming that we were interested in De Rossi, take that for what its worth though. As for Roma being reluctant to sell him, I think the financial pressure would prove too much for them. De Rossi has said he wouldnt like to play in Italy for another side, and I can imagine him suiting the english league perfectly. He would bring strength and leadership into our midfield, a great defensive engine also capable of getting forward. I rate him as a slightly improved version of Hargreaves. |

With Hargreaves' fitness an ongoing issue, De Rossi would be the right type/quality, but he seems to be deeply committed to Roma, team captain, his father is a coach there also. |

Everyone prattling on today about how this £80million could be spent on De Rossi, I realised that he'd never come to this club. We're Manchester United, he loves Roma. I doubt there's a foreign club out there that Roma fans hate more than Manchester United.
