Van Persie will be 31 next season so I think Moyes is signing Mata to convince Rooney that we're still top dogs....Mata playing behind Rooney while RVP sits on the bench/Medical room is what Moyes' plan would be............
I don't see them selling either but I think they have enough players to cover for Mata...Schurrle can play in all three attacking positions and Lampard can play as no 10 if 2 of the 4 are injured...I don't know whether they can call piazon back from his loan at Vittese but he would be good...
My point is we can postpone spending on new defender and focus on getting world class players for midfield...I'd rather spend 80 million on getting Reus and Koke instead of paying 25-30 million on mangala and getting average midfielders/wingers.......A team with Reus(50 million) on wings and...
Evans was at the heart of defense in our title winning team last season and He's already made more than 170 appearances for us.....I don't see too much wrong in his game......Jones on the other hand is really rash and his decision making is questionable.....I think our full backs and defensive...

Crappy midfield with great defence < Good midfield with average defense...........Moyes is looking to change our formation but I hope his experience with Bilyaletdinov...
according to Telegraph Atlético Madrid are hoping to hijack Manchester United's attempts to sign Juan Mata by offering David Moyes first option on striker Diego Costa and Brazilian full-back Filipe Luis if he withdraws from the race for the Chelsea midfielder. Wouldn't it be more simpler to...
What is BR trying to do with him? I think he's just not prepared to drop him...Gerrad's distribution is not good enough and he's not patient with the bale to play the role of deep lying playmaker....and there is no point in playing a attacking midfield player in his 30's as a defensive...
We already have Rooney who does similar job for us and there are other major concerns in the team we should address although it would make sense if Rooney leaves in the summer......for now a Striker who defends is not going to fix the gaping hole in our defense......
Cavani is the last player we should be looking at....there is absolutely no need to sign a new striker and signing him will not improve our starting XI at all......This is one of the worst made up rumors of all time....If this is true we should get rid of Moyes or at least have him checked up at...
Fergie has already let go of the club and Moyes is completely in charge....I'm surprised people bring this up just because Fergie attends matches......Fergie believed that manager should have absolute power at United so there is no way he's going to interfere with the team.....We are only 3-4...
How is it any different than having Evra as left back? He hardly defends so having 3 Centre Backs is better than 4 man defence with evra as left back....and we could use Jones as a DM if Vidic is fit to play in back 3....I'm not a big fan of 3-5-2 formation but 4-2-3-1 with slow players will be...
I would use 3-5-2 formation instead of 4-2-3-1 because the 3 of Rooney,Mata and Janujaz offer no pace at all....playing back 3 of Evans,Jones and Smalling with Valencia/Rafael and Evra playing as wing backs would be a better option............
I just feel that some quality attacking options will paper over the defensive problems....Rafael was terrific last season and Evans was decent too...Poor performance may just be down to low morale
If he signs we will have a team good enough to compete for top 4 and there will be more signings in the summer....We can definitely afford to pay whatever he's earning at Chelsea and I don't think he has too many options....
We should bid 40 million and get it over with...There is no point in wasting our time by bargaining and 40 million would be tempting for Mourhino considering he could bid for Costa........
This reminds of Gerrad saying a few years back that He wasn't old enough to play Scholes role yet and in a couple of years he could easily play in that role...
