Romeu and Ward-Prowse are better than Fred and Matic.Worst midfield in the history of the world.
Am I doing it right?

Think it's Ward Prowse, unless you're making even more of a statement.Romeu and Ward-Price are better than Fred and Matic.
In terms of passing yeah Neves would be an upgrade.Rice and Neves are upgrades. Rice has the leadership qualities and physique, Neves has a better pass. Pair either of them with the ever improving McTominay as No 8 and we are a better team. Neves would be cheaper and Donny will cover most of the fee. I cannot see Ole pairing Fred or McTominay with him so why keep him? We do not need cover for Pogba once Rashford returns.
I am not saying Romeu is quality, I am saying that Soton's midfield is as good or most likely better than Fred/Matic. Which is quite obvious since our front 4 is superior to Soton's and we drew the game.Think it's Ward Prowse, unless you're making even more of a statement.
But this is the sort of nonsense I see.
Romeu is an average hatchet man.
A team looking to challenge for the league should be looking for a DM with passing ability and tempo CM tooIn terms of passing yeah Neves would be an upgrade.
I just wouldn't get hung up on this 6 or 8 thing.
Get a 6 and put Bruno and Pogba ahead of him. Is that defensively better than the current set up? I don't think so.
Focus shouldn't be 6 or 8, it should be adding passing ability to a team sorely lacking in that regard. Passing ability that knits a team together.
I don't buy into the idea that's the only way to win a league. The quality of the CM's is more important than what type of CM they are.A team looking to challenge for the league should be looking for a DM with passing ability and tempo CM too
Well we could maybe get by with just one of them but to have neither well that's just negligentI don't buy into the idea that's the only way to win a league. The quality of the CM's is more important than what type of CM they are.
cf: Fred, JamesNo secret that Utd badly need to strengthen the CDM position, ideally Ruben Neves.
Would be nothing short of a dereliction of duty by the club if they were to neglect such a pressing need, the current options are woeful, and Van De Beek is just a bizarre signing if ever there was one.
Totally agree but the signs of it happening doesn't look goodNo secret that Utd badly need to strengthen the CDM position, ideally Ruben Neves.

It’s frustrating because we haven’t replaced Scholes or Carrick since they retired or even tried to. Schneiderlin maybe was the closest we have tried possibly.In terms of passing yeah Neves would be an upgrade.

having a match un fit martial on pitch more than half the game was a huge factor in drawingI am not saying Romeu is quality, I am saying that Soton's midfield is as good or most likely better than Fred/Matic. Which is quite obvious since our front 4 is superior to Soton's and we drew the game.
Yeah agree.It’s frustrating because we haven’t replaced Scholes or Carrick since they retired or even tried to. Schneiderlin maybe was the closest we have tried possibly.
It’s also ridiculous when Barcelona played us off the pitch twice in 2009 and 2011 and we never learnt a single thing from them.
It’s how fast you can move the ball not how fast or powerful your midfielders are at running in the biggest games.
This has become a thing. Ruben Neves is mediocre and there's a reason he's still at Wolves. United will not and should not buy him. Just let it go.No secret that Utd badly need to strengthen the CDM position, ideally Ruben Neves.
