January window:
Ins needed:
LB:Leighton Baines- At 29 in peak of career, could get at least 3 years out of him. Elegible for Champions League and an upgrade on Evra. 15m
CDM: Alex Song- At 10m he is a bargain and would give some much needed protection to our defence. He would be disciplined and sit. Better than Fellaini. 10m
CAM: Ander Herrera- Only player out there with a bit of top creativity and Elegible for Champions League. 27m
Let's all stick together we were on a good run before this awful week.
In Moyes we trust.

I think we need a midfield 3 and for Song to sit at the base of it like Tiote did yesterday for Toon would be the best way. That would get us through to the summer and would help us stop leaking these goals that are keeping us out of the top 4. I would go for Baines & Song - I don't think many others would be available.

The problem remains though, how do we play a 3 in midfield and accommodate both RVP and Rooney?
Could a 4-1-3-2 do the trick? Even then there's no width. I really don't know which formation would be best. Any thoughts guys?

5 3 2
With Baines and Fabio providing the width

I agree with fresh we need to move to 3 in midfield one of the reason we lost yesterday was because we got out numbered you can play 2 cm if you have quality cm but we don't atm so I would go to 4 3 2 1 and have our full backs for width

DDG

Rafael Smalling Vidic Evra

Fallani Carrick Cleverley

Rooney Kagawe

RVP

I would prefer a 3-5-2 to give us some width.

The way Evra and rafael defend at the moment, where they take turns in going on a walkabout, we might as well go with 3 at the back :)

Play Evans, Vidic, Smalling as a back 3.
Play with Janusaj, Cleverly, Jones, Kagawa and Valencia as midfield 5.
Rooney, RVP on top. We could eve drop Vidic for Jones as a back 3 and bring in the Fellaini in midfield.

OP, that would be a good transfer window. The thing about Song is that he can also pick a pass and he combined really well with RVP at Arsenal.

There isn't going to be any Ins lads. but I guess we can always dream
