DDA 9,983 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Yeah, I think Ferguson is become a bit senile. He is a massive hypcorite as well. Saying Hazard wasn't worth the money yet is about to pay £30 million on Lucas who is even less worth it. I agree, he should go to Inter. It would be best for him. The positive is if ManUre are too stupid to address their CM problem it'll only benefit us. Their CM problem? I don't see one now they have Kagawa along with Carrick, Scholes, Cleverly, Anderson and Fletcher if he gets fit again, Giggs can play CM also. The way Fergie sets up his team the players don't have to necessarily be individually outstanding but rather function in their role effectively and collectively resulting in wins. You can have all the good players in your team but if they don't work well together then you are going to win nada. Those players mentioned are pretty decent anyways and I'm sure Fergie will form a solid center midfield this season so buying Lucas will only strengthen Man U's options in attack which I for one don't like!

Zone 290 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I saw united in their second pre season game and Kagawa was impressive, the best player on both sides. With Lucas added and Blaine's probably too I expect them to challenge on all fronts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahul Haque 57 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 united are going to be what they're going to be. their central midfield is functional and is good at doing a job for the team. it's nothing spectacular but it gets them going. they have wingers who have a lot of pace and almost all of them are encouraged to go wide and cross the ball which allows the strikers to get onto crosess and cutbacks. they have their own style of play. i prefer our continental style of play but they play the 4 4 2 way and it works for them..sir alex is piecing the puzzle together with moura who will play wide right.

Tricky 301 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Honestly believe Lucas is going to be an outstanding player. Is he first team material now? I'm not so sure, but United, unlike us would give him those opportunities. If his end product improves he is going to slip into that class of player that I would pay just to watch play on his own.

KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 If we add Hulk and Torres fires our attack will have it all. We just have to make sure we're solid defensively as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 DEAL IS OFF, if i was Roman i would hijack him! just for the hell of itWe're not Man City. We don't buy players 'just for the hell of it'. Hence why players like Cech, Cole, Mikel, Drogba, etc. have been excellent long-term options, all worth the price tags.

Fletcher is out with his illness for God knows how long and no one knows if he will ever return to playing full time professional football, have you seen pictures of him recently? The man looks a shadow of his former self.Are you really telling me they don't have a problem in central midfield? Every United fan I know are desperately hoping they go after a top class CM instead of another winger or a striker. Most of them think that if they buy Lucas then Nani is on his way out. While Moura is a brilliant player they would all love to have, that wouldn't really solve their problems and they still need that new central midfielder. At least for the first few seasons I wouldn't be concerned if they got Moura to replace Nani because that's hardly an upgrade at the moment. Lucas will probably be better than Nani in the future when he has time to develop but not yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccioso 2,545 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 We have enough small, lightwieght players. We need some physicality.And a lot of it. We don't have the firepower to actually beat the likes of Barcelona through pure attacking play. We also don't have the muscle to sit back and stifle them, either.It's not going to be a successful year for us in the CL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it looks like he is capable of playing CM with Scholes, just look how he commands the center of midfield here even though i think he is playing in an advanced role!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2iWXqO3UYk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Grab this kid!! And then maybe grab demba ba for a bit of physically when it's needed!1Yes, let's spend 100M pounds on midfielders. Where would Lucas play? We have Oscar, Lampard, Marin, Mata, Hazard, Meireles, Ramires, Mikel, Essien, and Romeu (not to mention Malouda, Benayoun, KDB, Piazon, McEachran, and Kakuta). At this point, buying another midfielder is just taking time away from someone else who deserves playing time. And Kagawa was primarily a central attacking midfielder with Dortmund. I assume that's where he'll play for United. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
