Tomo 21,751 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Pretty funny to crown United title challengers because of this signing yet completely dismiss Arsenal despite them having 3 better injury prone midfielders than Schweinsteiger.Arsenal have a massive chink in their armour and that's Wenger, whenever they hit a patchy spell he loses the plot and it always gets worse (damaging title hopes significantly) before it gets better.If they had a top manager in touch with the modern game they would be a real threat.

didierforever 7,349 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 He only has played in midfield at times last season, a bit like Bastian I think Rooney us finished as a consistent top level player but can still turn it on some times, I actually think a top class striker is a huge priority for United.Re his goals, Lamps got 54 goals in his last four seasons at Chelsea, that would suggest he was still in or around his prime, but we all know he wasn'tcompletely different stages of career. and infact completely different scenarios. rooney is a striker being played as a CAM/midfielder. he played 14 games as a midfielder, 4 games as a CAM, 14 games as a ST. his general play is still top notch (2 seasons ago he was jose's primary target). so i just cant see how people are already ruling him out. a striker needs consistency. infact any striker does. its very unfair to judge rooney on last season as a striker.

didierforever 7,349 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Ballack was brilliant at the second half of 07/08 and at the run in to the double but overall he was a shadow of prime Ballack at Bayern.thats very very harsh. i think i have had this discussion before maybe on the forum or somewhere else. ballack was briliant in 09-10 too. infact it was the fact that we could not properly replace ballack after 09-10 that made us suffer so much. the general control of the midfield, those small niggling fouls to stop the play, providing steel and character, always turning up. we missed that. and thats exactly what bastian brings. u have compared him with deco in the previous post which is very unfair. deco had a hard time adjusting to PL. dont think bastian would. infact he is as close to ballack as you can get. and if he reciprocates what ballack did with us, united are in for a treat.

Oscar 441 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 The funny thing about the manc reaction is that it is very similar to when they bought Mata, Falcao and Di Maria... Fellaini I think most of them didn't want, but the first three they were so excited about and thought they were title contenders than as well.

Vybz Kartel 1,613 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 We should put in a bid for him. I think he will be a better bench player than Mikel. Will also offer much needed leadership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm aware of it but there is always a percentage that goes to the club ... If Adidas gets it all then let them fund it for us ....And if he can play the way he played in the Euros, he could be a good backup in terms of a player and experience specially when we're in the transition phase.
