I can see us buying someone from Liverpool in the last hours of the deadline day.

J'aime !

We need a top defending midfielder, and a central defender, lets buy Tioté and Hummels.

I would of fancied us to try and sign Wilfred Zaha. Hes got good potential obviously, typical African forward player very pacey and strong despite having a large but skinny-ish frame. Still very raw but hes he looks to be quite talented. Can play left wing, right wing or through the middle and would be a bit more refreshing compared to Hazard, Marin and Mata trying to pass themselves through teams rather than look to beat players. Similar to Victor Moses, not as far on in his developement but still a good young player. Obviously Moses seems to have better technical qualities and better decision making but I wouldn't say Zaha is really much worse. £10 Million upfront with another £5 million on apperances could be very good for United if he plays well in the PL. Obviously Moses so far was cheaper and has performd in the PL but until we see Zaha in the PL it will be very hard to compare them.

I am pretty sure Fergie will make a good player of him if Zaha allows him too.

Zaha has all the right attributes to be a good player and the desire it seems. So any top manager would hopefully be able to mould him into a top player but surely Fergie would be best for it.

Back to talking about transfers...

Only 6 days left in the transfer window and no sign of us buying anyone to bolster this threadbare squad of ours!

Rafa moans about a small squad but doesn't have the sense of recalling Essien or maybe KDB?

Tbf, i don't think there's any good player available to sign for a good price. looks like we'd have to overpay to get any decent talent. hence only Ba has come in. but this is getting crazy. rafa knows about the squad depth problem and still hasn't done anything to rectify it

Though I just got done writing a post on another topic deriding Benitez, I don't think we can put the transfer/squad situation squarely on him. The board, director, and ultimately Roman probably have a much larger hand in this matter than Benitez.

I keep seeing these African and French kids who have the big names, sorry if i can't narrow it down a bit more. However we should start going for players like that, but instead we want to play like Barcelona.

We need physical players, offloading the players like Essien, Alex, Drogba and Anelka and not replacing them with similar players was a mistake. Especially Essien, we really lack an Essien, however i doubt we will ever get another one of them. It's a shame i think we where blessed to have Makalele and Essien, two of the best Defensive Midfielders i have ever seen in my life, gutted that they are gone.

Compare our current midfielders to the ones we used to have... It's quite sad thinking about it really. Though it seems we aren't even bothering about signing anyone, once again it's going to be a huge mistake.

true. no steel in the midfield nowadays. We used to have Makelele Essien Ballack Lampard once upon a time. now we have Ramires, Mikel, Lampard (aged 34) and Romeu. Gulf in class

Ramires runs but has pathetic technique for a central midfielder. Mikel - who, it should be said, is grossly overrated at Chelsea as he is nowhere near Makelele or Essien level. Romeu - another work in progress. Lampard with a drastic drop in mobility

Add to this our defensive problems and the fact that we have one Fernando Torres in attack. Pains me, really...
