I don't want to be all defeatist.......
But I really don't see many top drawer players wanting to move clubs 5 months prior to a world cup finals in Brazil, unless they aren't getting game time. And most top class players will be getting game time.
People relying on January turning our season around might be a little dissappointed I reckon, come Feb 1st.
I'm sure we'll be trying to bring a player or two in but.......I really don't see the calibre of player we lack and that we all want to move clubs in January.

It wouldn't. Barca would still be too good for them.
Madrid are paying 100m every other year to fail.

Hard to believe that a team that has Ronaldo, Bale, Isco, Modric, Benzema, Di Maria etc to call upon......is most likely going to win NADA once again.

Not really when you consider they've got Barcelona to contend with and also a very good Atletico side now.
Barcelona are collectively a much much better team than Madrid who are really just a team of individuals and star players. They IMO lack the proper balance when all their biggest players play.
I must say I take a lot of pleasure in seeing Madrid fail.

They did, ref was awfull today, one of those who scared by the crowd, Ronny denied a blatant pen at 1-0

what positions is it people think Moyes will be spending to trnsform ts side?
Carrick is going nowhere, Moyes has just paid £27m for Fellaini therefore if we want a new CM it means playing 433 with RVP Rooney and youd think Januzaj fillling the front 3 spots.
I think we will get a CM and mabye a LB.

Papers are saying Baines again. Everton will take us to the cleaners though and fair play to them, why shouldn't they?

Agree that LB is the only position, if any, we will strengthen. Already 4 strikers, 5 CB's & lots of midfielders. I think utd are a bit too loyal to their players. I just can't see us forcing players like young or Anderson out the door.

Can see Young going out on loan at the very least. f he wants to have a chance of making England's 23 man squad (not that I think he deserves it) he needs to be playing and I can't see it happening with us.
Who knows maybe the club will surprise everyone and go and spend mega money they should have spent in summer.

Herrera and Baines would be good moves.
Wouldn't imagine Baines would take that long to adapt to our team.
Herrera might take a while so if we got him in January he might be fully up to speed by start of next season.
We need to spend upwards of 50m to have the slightest chance of doing anything this season.

It does look like the money is there to be spent. I honestly believe the club wanted to back moyes in the summer but obviously made a hash of it.
I just hope the new targets are of real quality. I don't think we can take another bad transfer window. The squad is all ready full of decent but not world class players.
