Interesting post from Grund, Vidal is the perfect man for United.
Interesting to see Moyes at the Athletico v Porto game. Koke perhaps?.

Koke would be a cracking signing.
He may even have bee watching a couple of the Porto players; Mangala or Sandro?

Moyes has had Mangala and Sandro watch a few times already this season.
But hopefully watching Koke too would be a top signing. Would love Sandro he looks a beast of a player. Not too sure about Mangala.

All these will be good, though Koke had a very quiet game. I would like us to also look at Turan at AM. Also a player at Porto I like is Fernando who plays in central midfield and is skilful and can tackle. He had a very good game last night.
United have also watched cavalho at Lisbon who is also worth a try in my opinion.
If we can get two out of the above and a decent left back and centre back then I think the team will be much better.

Our players have looked largely devoid of any sort of energy, maybe a little Koke is what is needed.

On a more serious note, he is a top player, but why will Atletico let him go in January in one of their best ever starts to the season? Why will he leave Spain, midway in a season that seems to be going great for Atletico, when he knows the likes of Barcelona will be interested in the summer?

Sometimes logic does get in the way. Moyes must have been on a long term scouting mission rather than one for January.

Fernando is ok, but not the creative force we need in midfield. I am still of the opinion that only Herrera might be an option in January and that too is a long shot, and that we should wait until the summer to fix the midfield, when better players for lesser prices will be available.
