I think Blind is looking like a likely target.
He's also young and will not get injured and is not a risk at LB. He also understands what it is to play for a club like utd and the pressure he will be under.

Still annoyed about this signing by any chance Mudd?
Kuyt will be our left back next season

I think Blind is looking like a likely target.
-------------------
Exactly what I have been thinking for a few days now. Cover at LB and can play in CM. Am I right in thinking that he can also play CB?
I'm starting to eriously threat about our squad depth next year or lack of it. We're going go need a few signings. Fergie really didn't leave a great squad for the long term future at all.
Blind seems like the obvious choice for the fact LVG knows him and he can play both at LB and CM.
TBH I would rather we just bought a proper LB and CM but if options are short then maybe it is a sensible move.
What about all these LBs in the reserves that MUDD and Co were crying about, when we signed Shaw?

Haven't we gone into the past few seasons, with only 1 RB? Then, players who can fill in that position if/when Rafael is injured?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem is that the players who have filled in, Smalling, Jones and Valencia can't actually play there, the only cover we had, who actually did a good job in 2011 was Fabio.....and we sold him.
BBC Manchester reported today Blind will be a target.

is the whole coverge for shaw being a bit overstated in a season were there wont be any European football hence the same necessity of squad rotation. As someone has pointed out Rafael does not have an orthodox right back as cover so maybe its not really a an immediate necessity at left back.

Fair point, actually. Though I think I'd have been far more comfortable with an extra left back to cover in the league/fa cup. last thing we want is Shaw playing 45 odd games and getting burned out towards the end.

So now we only have one left back in the squad? I was/am probably in a minority that thinks we should have kept Buttner IF Evra wanted to leave, just as back up to Shaw
---
I'm the same, which is why if Evra leaves we have to get someone else. But if we get someone else young, that's going to really hurt Shaw's progress. If we knew Evra was leaving we should have tried to get Cole.

I don't think Cole would come to another PL club out of respect for Chelsea
He just doesn;t seem that type

But he left Arsenal for Chelsea, so maybe if he was after one more payday. I just think if we knew Evra wanted to leave, then we could have at least tried.
