[nadavTKL 1,787]

So why they couldnt do all that until mid august? they knew they need players.

There's your answer.

The closer we get to the deadline, the more desperate they'll become. After their loss and with how poor they looked in certain areas they'll probably go out this week and throw loads of money around.

I just can't understand what they are doing.. Van Gaal wants to use 5-3-2 and they only have 3 CB's(Jones, Smalling, Evans). They'd need at least six quality player back there.

It obvious that they have to sign CB's but there are only two weeks left. Clubs will ask for more money from United because everyone know how desperate they are.

Gazzetta say they can't get a reaction from Roma on English claims of Benatia to Manchester United, and they say Chelsea in talks too.

@Sport_Witness

Corriere dello Sport say Roma have denied English media claims about Benatia.

I hate silly season.

[Myself 793]

He would've made us better, and we'll need someone like him in the future but right now we're good.

United definitely need someone like him though. Gives them pace and leadership in a position they're sorely lacking it.

Zouma, Kalas, Omeruo. In the future I'm sure they'll be good enough to make our starting 11. Especially Kalas.

[mannyfreshh 164]

We don't need this guy.. Let's develope kalas, zouma Christiansen better.. If the rumor of united is true, that's where he should go.. They will overpay, and he will start instantly there. Out team is loaded at the moment in every position.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

So he signed for United just like Vidal and Di Maria last month? Well then.

This is probably another bs rumour...

[Special Juan 28,124]

Vidal, Di maria and now Benatia…...

Chelsea has enough player. We don't need mehdi in our team right now

Di maria when?? where?

Zouma, Kalas, Omeruo. In the future I'm sure they'll be good enough to make our starting 11. Especially Kalas.

Hope so, but here's the thing.

We'll end the season with three centre-backs who are 34, 31 and 29.

The three players you mentioned will be 20, 22 and 21.

Ideally you'd be wanting someone who is about 25/26 to plug that gap.

I'd love for those guys to make it here but you'd probably expect one, maybe two at best. I also think that JT is the only 'Lead Defender' of those five. Omeruo and Zouma both strike me as Carvalho types who need that strong presence next to them to really prosper. Kalas could become that, but I'd love someone like Hummels or even Varane to come here and take over that leadership role in defence.

Bayern on verge of signing Roma's Mehdi Benatia, according to Sportbild.

Daniel Busch @dan_bu · 16m

Sportbild editor-in-chief Falk reports on TV Benatia negotiations that far advanced they couldn't wait to break story in their mag tomorrow.

Lol, looks like now it's Bayern that is on the verge of signing him.

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Bayern want a CB who can also play RB as a replacement for the injured Javi Martinez. BAyern would be even more frightening with a CB of this calibre. Actually I'd rather see him a ManU. IMO it would not make them title contenders whilst Benatia at BAyern would almost make theminvincible.

The thing is BAyern usually don't pay crazy sums for players, unlike the Manchester teams do.

So it was Us, United and now Munich
