We'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.

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!

Kagawa has never been a CM, Scholes is nearly 40 years old and simply can't play every match next season, Cleverley and Anderson are huge question marks having both spent the majority of last season in the sidelines because of injuries and Giggs is pretty much the same as Scholes. 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.

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.

Hahha fergie hope it stays like this!

Fergie, welcome to Brazil

Kagawa is hardly a CM. Giggs and Scholes are beyond their last legs. Running on fumes. Carrick nothing special. Their Midfield needs alot of work.

Kagawa hardly a CM ? 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!

Yes, 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.

Right wing, and forget buying hulk, just my preference

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

^^ We'd have no physical presence then...Too many similar sort of players.

easy get rid of bold and replacement them with another young midfielders.

But that's an insane waste of money. Essien and Meireles will likely play reduced roles this season anyway, so you're essentially spending 30M pounds to cover 15 starts or something. And that's assuming that none of the youngsters stay at Chelsea. And Chelsea would have spent about 100M pounds in one transfer period only on attacking midfielders. I know people want to buy every single young player they like, but it's ridiculous.

Did not see that coming!

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Still don't know where he would even play. As an Attacking Midfielder I'm guessing? Not his best position. Can't see this move working really.
