So what time did Cleverly switched from midfield. Up to 49 minute when United conceded he played deeply in the middle beside Carrick. And Anderson also interchanging with them.

Someone should watch this and come and witness.

On 62nd minute Anderson, Cleverly and Giggs went out. From 0 minute to 62miute Cleverly and Anderson played in the middle of the midfield. Cleverly particularly,sat back leveled with Carrick while we defended and Anderson being the more who adventured forward. Sometimes they interchanged roles but Carrick was more the sitting guy, but when he ventured forward Cleverly covered for him more than Anderson.

Januzaj played more from the right flank and Giggs more from the left flank. Cleverly and Anderson had nothing to do with wing in the match. Let's be sincere in our comments here.

elampiro:
When someone resort to insults instead of engaging in a logical argument, it is clear he has run out of ideas.

you have been beaten hands down in the argument. anderson/cleverley started together as central midfielders and united were winning in all the games with the 2 of them on the pitch! if you add the city game(community shield), reading(fa cup), cluj(europe) and newcastle(league cup) then you have 10 games won!

FACT:
Anderson and Cleverly have only won three league matches when started alone. If this was a strong streak, no one would be clamouring for Thiago and co. I reiterate my position that they have not been tested enough. Period!

what a disgraceful line of thought....
barcelona had xavi and iniesta, why did they buy cesc, song, mascherano? why did they promote busquets and thiago? so if anderson should get injured again, who would replace him? you or the king of your village?

the only reason people are clamouring for thiago n co is because of injuries.....and bodies have to be replaced. we have not replaced scholes, hargreaves and fletcher since they left.

Just heard Bayern has agreed a fee for thiago, meant to be 20mill euros.

So no Strootman and no thiago.

Is it Gibson,Osman and co we'll sign?

yup its on soccernet too.
well i guess we miss out on a very good young player but he might miss out on his 2014 world cup dreams too cos there is far more competition in bayern

Mr_TA: Just heard Bayern has agreed a fee for thiago, meant to be 20mill euros.

A mere €20m....just saw the news myself, its either united was never serious in getting him or any other player this summer or they intent to make big name signings... I have a hunch its the former

Mr_TA: Just heard Bayern has agreed a fee for thiago, meant to be 20mill euros.

Just in the news the signing of Thiago by Bayern. This is painful. Somebody is here deffending Rooney that will never be of us to us while we keep loosing useful targets.if Man U start the seasons with the likes of Rooney, Giggs and co, I bet it we will never end up as top 4.

i dey siddon look.hearing rumors about gareth bale,cristiano ronaldo....is it that there is nobody in the entire United organisation with eyes to see the gaping chasm in central midfield?

Fergie did well to choose a replacement who is also very happy with the squad & doesn't see a reason to get a CM...

i am suspecting fellaini is d CM target moyes has in mind.if he does come i just pray he becomes a success cos i hav serious doubts abt d guy

afrodoc: i am suspecting fellaini is d CM target moyes has in mind.if he does come i just pray he becomes a success cos i hav serious doubts abt d guy

right nau, we do not av a choice... He shouLd come

there are always choices especially this early in the transfer window.the club just has to be proactive that is all.
i believe we need a player who is mobile,good defensively but also importantly very good in possession especially passing(not necessarily through passes etc but recycling the ball).fellaini doesn't really fit that description

Nawa! Those wey get enof still de collect more while those wey no get went n bought Varel* de find Baines ontop.

Fellaini and Carrick in d mid? That'll be the dullest mid in Europe!

i said i would prefer United not signing him

I have no need to argue further when I discovered they partnered in the midfield yesterday and they lost.

Na wai! So I guess it was Thiago lacacera that has been helping us to top four and tittles?

Let's wake up to reality. Thiago is not Neyman. Sneidja with all his experience didn't come and we have won the EPL twice.

The fees is 20m.

The rest of the fees would be paid by Thiago himself.

Some other part would be paid from the proceeds from the friendly between the two clubs.

What happened to the ball De Gea who signed the ball for Thiago to come to Man U

not too intrude on your debate with coogar but in his defense he did say when they play together i.e partner in a 2 man midfield.
so the crucial things there are TOGETHER and 2 MAN MIDFIELD.yesterday was basically a 3 man midfield with carrick sitting,cleverley linking and anderson making runs ahead,it wasnt a 2 man partnership

afrodoc: i dey siddon look.hearing rumors about gareth bale,cristiano ronaldo....is it that there is nobody in the entire United organisation with eyes to see the gaping chasm in central midfield?

The lastest rumours is Modric. But I am relaxed becuase I believe the club knows best. Moyes can see better than us. He is more experienced than us.

dayokanu: In the 20m part of the fees would be paid by Thiago himself.

ok.just wanted to ask ur opinion on how thiago is integrated into ur team going forward i.e in a way that he gets d first team opportunities he wants.also which of the players already there will b the big losers?

If Thiago Lacasera likes let him go to Man City. He is not the best young midfielder in the world. If he didn't want to sign for United will the club kill themselves? You cannot always get what you want and every rational human being has to prioritized.

I honestly believe the club will come out triumph at the end in the transfer market. I even prefer a certain Brazilian midfielder in the confederation cup.

I'm on mobile I would answer you later. I suspect Martinez would move to defence leaving Bastian kroos and Thiago in midfield. Gotze Robbery Muller battles in attack

i have always had that opinion too ,i hope the board and manager dont disappoint this time.to the guy who said there are no alternatives to fellaini there are several disgruntled world class players at RM,Barca,Bayern etc right now.
RM just bought Isco and Illaramendi for big bucks and they are Spanish plus Ancelotti is a Kaka admirer.Modric and Khedira would surely find opportunities limited.Alex Song is gaining weight on the Barca bench and some Bayern stars will soon start getting accustomed to their own bench too

So we should waiting for the rejects of the other teams?

We no longer have the luxury of one of the greatest managers of all time.

depends on who you qualify as a midfielder,what you mean by young and what ur parameters are.there would always be disagreement on who the best at anything is in football(apart from best footballer LOL) but players like Gotze,Gundogan,Wilshere,Oscar,Isco have all performed consistently at club level on a weekly basis.....we have only seen month long cameos of what Thiago can do.i am not saying he is over rated but best young midfielder is up for debate IMO

dayokanu:

Who is the best young midfielder in the world

Cleverly

dayokanu:

Paulinho may not be as young as Thiago but to me he is a better player than Thiago. He will immediately bridge the gap.

Mr_TA:

Well, I will still wait and see. Moyes wouldn't want to be shamed at the end of the season. He too has said he has been given unlimited budget. So I want to believe someone great is coming. May be two or three.

No more high hopes 4 me anymore in our transfer until I see them confirmed officially on MU. website
