Now we've had time for reflection after Ander Herrera left the club. Would he get into the first team? Fred and McTominay look very solid at the moment and now Pogba is trying to force his way back in. What do you think?
Would Ander Herrera get in this team?
- Thread starter downxandxout
- Start date
Yes but I don't see the point of the thread. He's hardly a superstar you wish was still here
Would Ander Herrera get in this team? Who knows. Who cares.
He would, yeah.
Nah. Team is better off.
He's much better than McTominay.
100%
Sure, why not? At the very least he would be a very solid rotation option, and with Fred's early issues he most likely would have been first choice
Such an overrated player just equal to mctomminay on experience.
Wouldn't get in to post January transfer window.

There's not really a lot between Herrera and this seasons Fred and McTominay, all much of a muchness tbh
What a pointless thread!
Probably, he would be as good an option as Fred and McTominay, and better than Matic. Also, would be better than any of Lingard, Mata and Periera, so yeah he would have added something to the squad.
Course he would. There's a reason our midfield has been so easy to walk through since his departure. There's a lot of posters who can't admit they were wrong about him. His ability to recycle the ball and then move it on swiftly is woefully understated.
But he's gone now. We have McTominay who is looking really promising.

Herrera just needs to worry about why he cant get into the PSG team.
In recent state yes, but one good and productive transfer window can change the view on him drastically.
Add to that McTom improving and maybe we could have team that doesn't need Herrera whatsoever... but we really need that productive window which allow us to build some sort of midfield for tournaments like Champions League and not Europa.

Not sure if he would. If he did get in the team it wouldnt be because he is a special player but only because McT isnt a special player either.
I dont think we really miss him when McT is fit.

Yes. He'd replace McTominay
Does he start for PSG?
I think he'd play most games ahead of McTom but I think Fred's an all round better footballer.

He is better than Fred easily and he is better than the likes of Lingard ad Perreira too.
100% yes. Would be our 2nd best midfielder after Pogba.
Without a shadow of a doubt.
All this fuss about an average player over 30 who wanted to leave.
Yes and he’d improve us a fair bit too.
Don't think he's easily better than Fred now.
He is. If this is Fred's peak then Herrera's peak was far higher.
Silly question.
No he doesn’t , only 6 appearances in the league so far
He played with a lot more passion than quality for us. Good midfielder but doesn't get into the starting lineup. It would have been nice to keep him on a sensible wage, but it wasn't to be.
He's been injured most of the time. He started their version of the Community Shield, came off injured and missed the first four league games. Was subbed on for PSG's fifth league game then subbed on again in the Champions League against Real Madrid. He started the next couple of league games, left on the bench for the eighth game, then subbed on again in the Champions League. He then started four league games in a row including a Champions League game before succumbing to injury, missing eight games and has just returned as an unused sub for their last league game.
Herrera would walk into our team. Delusion to think otherwise. He's not a great player but our midfield has been abysmal this season.
When we win, no.
When we haven't won, yes.
Most of us know that Herrera wasn't quite enough for us, and certainly not for the wage he was after

Dumb thread. Would obviously walk in it.
Yes he’s a better player than Fred.
Not for me, this season Fred has shown he's a very good player. Fred can actually control a game and has a range of passing much beyond Ander and his 10 yarders.
Right now Ander would start alongside Fred, but let's be honest, it's still wouldn't be a brilliant midfield, you'd want either of them with a top drawer CM and Pogba.
Fred’s played a handful of good games, but we still can’t control a midfield, are sitting mid table and he’s also had some woeful games.
Herrera is a far better player. It’d be him and McTominay w/ Pogba advanced.
he'd walk into it ahead of either Fred or McTominay
Who actually cares? He'd hardly change our fortunes, so it's a bit moot.
Oh great, another thread for people to jizz all over Herrera - a decent midfielder who some people on here treat like he was Roy Keane or Paul Scholes.
He'd be a good squad player at least, and a much better option than Matic
