Team for burnley
..............ddg........

We haven't bought Di Maria to play as a CM
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well it's either that or have to play either cleverley or fletcher. He has played there for Madrid so a stop gap until we get a cm in. Hopefully we will get one this week
----------------------------------------------------------------------
actually you said he played CM.
Yes because he played with modric and Alonso in cm at times for Madrid
Lopez
Carvajal Pepe Ramos Marcelo
Alonso Modric
Bale Di Maria Ronaldo
Benzema
when Ronaldo attacked more,
Lopez
Carvajal Pepe Ramos Marcelo
Bale Modric Alonso Di Maria
Benzema Ronaldo
He didn't play CM

Vidal rumours not going away. Independent reporting we are stepping up our pursuit
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It would be a huge statement by the club to go out and spend £40m to bring someone like him in, but I can't see it now.
I'm sure the Glazers pockets are getting a little light now...
He played left of centre. I'm not going to argue with where he played. I saw a lot of Madrid games last season and in a few he definitely was in or around the centre of the pitch. Not stuck out on the wing

There are reports we are closing in on Lucas Silva of Cruzeiro for around £8m. I'd be happy with this, TIm Vickery really rates him and that guy knows his stuff
Rob Harris @RobHarris · 46m
Such transfer spending though comes with Man United set to report revenue in 2013-14 financial year of £429m-£434m

Nah i get he played centre. he moved out wide whenever Ronaldo moved forward.
He did play centrally but my point with those line ups was that he had two CM's to cover the defensive duties. He was very good at pressing first.
We can't play him in a 2 man midfield with Herrera (who is injured) but we could play him CM like Real did in a 3 man midfield. That doesn't count Mata as a number 10 who would play even further up than Di Maria. we'd be exposed at the back
And anyway, why would we do that when we will have Vidal for that position
Blind will be our next signing IMO

Not another Bebe. Haven't we learned from the last time we signed someone blind.
a panic buy and an astronimcal fee for an unwanted pplayer. nobody should pay 60mil for a substitue. furthermore, he wants time to balance his squad, how does this add balance to a squad with a saturated forward line while the defence leaks goals. we have no strong midfielder who will do what keane did, every good team needs a ballwinner, schweinsteiger, toure etc... we will still struggle to make the champions league til we address this issue....
It isn't our forward line that was overstocked...
We are overstocked on no. 10's...
Probably got a striker more than we need...
We are very much short of quality wingers, so short in fact that LVG decided to change formation rather than play any of the wingers we have!
We certainly needed a winger and in terms of his teammates, the Madrid fans and their manager he certainly wasn't an unwanted player.
