After watching 20mil rated midfielders like Hendersona and Rodwell get played off the park, I think its time we looked at Spain for our next midfielder.
We need a replacement for Scholes and I for 1 wouldn't mind Thiago Alcantara or Javi Martinez. Will be half the price and double the quality.
Arsenal had it right when they signed Fabregas and I think United should go that way.
We are not going to get Sneijder or Modric and I would hate to sign Rodwell.
Thoughts?
Get a young Spaniad!

Played them off the park eyt failed to create any chances.
Spain are the best at keeping the ball, but in terms of creating actual chances and cutting edge, they are just Arsenal in disguise

We have Nani, Valencia, Rooney and Young to create better chances and we have Chicarito who is a better finisher. What we need is someone to control the game and control possession and guess what Spanish players do that perfectly!
Would you rather have Henderson and Rodwell?

Surely you're not suggesting that United are dull...?

I actually think England midfield could have done better if the manager had done better with the tactics.
Henderson and Mancienne against Spanish deep playing strikers/3 midfielders. Tactical error IMO.
Mancienne who is technically a defender with little ball control (keeping) with Henderson
Was as if it was only Henderson in midfield vs the Spanish trio. Henderson had to go very deep to get the ball from defenders with Mancienne nowhere to be found.
Probably biased though..
Also why were they hoofing it and bypassing the midfield???
