Well, considering we haven't bought one that hasn't gone straight into the reserves since the 2007/08 season (where we bought two in one go Hargreaves and Anderson), it must be quite hard. Actually it seems we also bought Possebon that season if you remember him, so we were on quite a roll then. Perhaps, after seeing how poorly those midfield transfers turned out to be (albeit largely down to injury), Ferguson decided to just give up on the midfield
Jovetic is a fantastic signing for them, the others don't worry me at all.
Jovetic, Aguero, Negredo, Dzeko is a strong quarter, though surprised Tevez left, unbeliever striker on his day, that would look scarier with Tevez instead of Negredo in it.
i dont know who we would get in midfield bar a massive signing (e.g. ronaldo). The two mids we were linked to (thiago and strootman) have both been sold to other clubs.
You think he's worth the investment? He turns 30 next week. Tbh, in our situation, I'd go for him.
Agree with this. I think Navas is their best signing.
Will Fernandinho and Yaya play in a two man midfield, or will Barry be in there too?
I would rather us not sign De Rossi. It will only mean we will have the same problem in 2-3 years time. Surely there must be a 20-25 year old CM who is good and wants to join us? Surely?
