Good.i read somewhere that moyes said that vidic successor is already at OT and expects jones,smalling and Evans to step up. It seems that we wont spend big on a central defender.

He probably wouldn't say "we'll need to buy", as it'd cheese these 3 off, and alert every top defender's club to put prices up.i read somewhere that moyes said that vidic successor is already at OT and expects jones,smalling and Evans to step up.

Hopefully that means that they will get the chance to convince us that they can do the job. The last thing we need is for Moyes to keep rotating our CB's and to keep playing Jones and Smalling out of position for the rest of the season. At the present time I would hate to start next season with Jones, Smalling and Evans as our main central defenders, because I haven't seen enough of Smalling and Jones at CB to tell if they will be good enough. Right now I don't feel that any of the 3 CB's we have will be as good as Vidic and Rio and I feel we need to buy a world class CB this summer. I hope that 2 of those get a long run of games at CB and prove me wrong, but something tells me it won't happen.i read somewhere that moyes said that vidic successor is already at OT and expects jones,smalling and Evans to step up.

Zouma joined Chelsea for £12m.We have indeed a potential Vidic type players and Moyes may give some chances to Michael Keane from time to time.
Still there's a remote chance of signing someone younger in vein of Zouma, maybe even player himself if the price won't be too high.
Letting vidic go? His contract is up and if he wants to go there is nothing we can do. Who says we haven't tried to keep him? Agenda posting at its finest mate.Letting vidic goes, loaning zaha, sold fabio, not utilising kagawa, persisting with 2 man midfield to name a few.
This is not fm, shoulda try to keep vidic and evra, they made a goor cover and experiences.
Besides, we can't simply bought 10 players in a windo
My bad.Zouma joined Chelsea for £12m.
£100m would get you a pair of CMs, a left back and some back up full back cover.£100m isn't going to solve our problems unless we uncover some ''hidden gems''. It would get us the two CMs we need though.
I made this point in another thread *and quite a few other times actually). I feel we may be disappointed if we aee expecting two midfielders. I reckon one this summer and one next year may be more accurate, unless we sell Cleverley this summer anyway.Thing is, we said we needed 2 CM's last summer, and we got one of them. If Moyes decides himself he's wasted the 28 million (like we all suspect he has) after less than a year it's fecking criminal, it really is.
Would love that. Not heard about Veltman before but sounds promising. Bob Cass used to be Fergie's mate before that run in that was on camera. Wonder how much he knows nowadays.http://www.mailonsunday.co.uk/sport...Shaw-Atletico-striker-Costa-rebuild-team.html
Bob Cass on our summer targets.
Pure delusion to think we can land Vidal or Pogba without CL football. Costa's the same, though I question why we'd spunk more money up the wall on a striker, our strongest area of the team.
Shaw, and Ajax centre back Joel Veltman are the other 2 mentioned.
You're right, with Carrick, Fellaini, and Fletcher now in the squad, it's hard to see how we could fit any defensively minded midfield signing into the squad. 2 big name attack minded CM's would seem like overkill too, given our formation and everything.I made this point in another thread *and quite a few other times actually).

I wouldn't either. Money talks mate, if some players agreed to play in Russia or for Monaca, I am sure they'll play for Manchester United a year out of CL. We just need to start referring to ourselves a "project" from here on.Wouldn't trust Moyes with a nickel and Shaw/ Kroos/ Vidal/ Reus are not coming.
Yes you're spot on but just think of the money we'll be wasting this way just to prove our point with Moyes who may not work out. We'll have to overpay by atleast 10 million for each player not the mention way greater wages - there've been reports that we're luring Kroos with 250k wages.. That's just absurd. A highest level midfielder nets on average 100k+ per week. Schweinsteiger gets 135k, Modric 130k, Vidal 90k. We are apparently offering more than twice that for Kroos it's unbelievable really. A lot of our fans have been on a high horse all this time and looked down upon teams that pay the market average. What does it make us then when we're willing to pay twice of that..I wouldn't either.

Klopp is a good option IMO. He has always made his teams on shoe string budgets & tactically the man is a genius.No proper manager will come here unless they know we're going to back them in the transfer market straight away. They'd have to be braindead to agree to starting the next season with this squad.
We're gonna be spending big this summer regardless of who is in charge.
Agree, Klopp would be the outstanding candidate. We've got to back the manager financially though, regardless of who it is. Just because he can operate on a shoestring budget doesn't mean he should have to, not at a club like Machester United. The chronic underspending has to end.Klopp is a good option IMO.

He's much more than a good option. He'd be superb for us.Klopp is a good option IMO. He has always made his teams on shoe string budgets & tactically the man is a genius.
Was talking about this yesterday and the other person brought up an interesting point, which essentially was: When was the last time the Glazers had to worry about 'going grocery shopping while hungry'? His argument was that people like the Glazers have reached a point where they've forgotten that saying and the mindset it derives from, AKA they're literally not aware that's what they'd be doing. I disagreed but it was something I'd never considered.Yes you're spot on but just think of the money we'll be wasting this way just to prove our point with Moyes who may not work out.

He's a character too. His presence on the touchline is extra-ordinary.Klopp is a good option IMO. He has always made his teams on shoe string budgets & tactically the man is a genius.
Whatever do you mean by chronic underspending? Moves has spent £65m already.Agree, Klopp would be the outstanding candidate. We've got to back the manager financially though, regardless of who it is. Just because he can operate on a shoestring budget doesn't mean he should have to, not at a club like Machester United. The chronic underspending has to end.
Klopp, Guardiola or Mourinho would have this exact team challenging with one or two decent signings. Attacking wise it has enough talent to beat anyone, the defence you could work with easily if you sorted another back up (doesn't have to be a starter) and a new left back which could be done for nominal fees if we get Coentrao and any random right back in their late 20s like Bayern did with Rafinha.No proper manager will come here unless they know we're going to back them in the transfer market straight away.

This. Ten times over. We know our squad is bad. But this calibre of managers would have had us competing for a top 4 spot atleast. Jose's Chelsea's is slightly better than United in terms of personnel and yet they are top of the table. We have equally good keepers, Rafael is better than Ivanovic, Vida, Evans, Rio, Smalling are atleast as good as Terry, Cahill, Luiz, Azpelecueta is better than Evra granted and their midfield is not much to shout about either until the transfer of Matic : Carrick is better than Fat Frank, their attackers are better as of now but our strikers are world class unlike theirs. As a whole it evens out yet they are so far ahead of us.Klopp, Guardiola or Mourinho would have this exact team challenging with one or two decent signings.
