Bidding on another defender ??? Why ???

We need centre midfield players !!!

Im guessing it will be a future replacement for Rio and Vidic once they retire. It would only leave Smalling and Jones with Evans suggested to be the new O'Shea.

--------

Smalling, Jones, Evans.

Pointless bidding on more defenders that is our strongest area.

Our weakest area Central midfield seems to once again be overlooked and we've actually lost player/s making us worse than last season.

a squad needs more than 3 centre backs! By the time Varane would be ready, Rio, Brown, O'Shea, Vidic will all be retired or seeing out their career.

We do a Centre midfielder or 2 yes, still over 2 months of the transfer window to go

do need*

I'm just stunned we seem to be going for players not really required, even though we desperately need a centre midfielder !!!

You forget that every year we seem to have a defensive crisis. Extra cover, especially for the future. We do need a centre mid, but they aren't mutually exclusive.

Varane
=============================

who?

my guess is that this is one of these stories where the agent 'lets it be known' to the press that X, Y and Z club are bidding/interested just to push up the price/inflate a new contract deal.

Ferguson could be planning on playing Phil Jones as a defensive midfielder initally, he could definately do a job there he's brilliant on the ball.

Also, it's clear that this Varane has potential, and with the new financial fair play rules coming in it is wise to invest now in top quality young players.

Nah mate he signed a 2 year deal earlier this season. It's their relegation that's pushed SAF into action

@ Robbie Varane can & has played CM this year.

I wonder what Jonny Evans is making of all this.

He probably 5th choice centre half now and wouldn't be first choice at full back either, even if Sheasy moves on.

I wonder if he may decide to move on

Fergie wont replace the midfield. Especially as they won the league. It will be a slow bleed with anderson being a first teamer next year. In his head it would be negative to take away the confidence of the team by dismatling the middle. wheras most utd fans see a weak midfield, fergie see's one that does the job 9 times out of ten.

Scholes Retired therefore to not get anyone in would be stupid
We are weaker than last season

If you look at our youth team and reserves, CB is probably our least promising position. We have plenty of midfielders and forwards but no stand out defenders. Varane is one fr the future, he will probably loaned back to his existing club.

Why are people so impatient ? There won't be any real transfer activity until July 1st when the European window opens. And Fergie will 100% buy at least 1 CM player. Also wouldn't surprise me to see him buy a forward (Sturridge?) if someone makes a good offer for Berba.
