You promise?

Where did you hear this?

I think we'll sign one more.
De Jong.

I used to think I'd prefer Blind over De Jong but I think we need someone who can stop an average midfielder like Cattermole from dominating the midfield for 90mins, Blind doesn't have the physicality.

We've got enough neat, tidy passers of the ball, we need a ball-winner.

Blind's good though, if we signed him I wouldn't be gutted but De Jong is more what we need.

You might be right Red. I'm not his biggest fan but he ticks a lot of boxes: Premier League experience; familiar with van Gaal; aggressive, defensive midfielder; would fill a gap til next season; affordable.
He would of made a big difference yesterday, we shouldn't be getting bossed by the likes of Cattermole.
I'm really not sure about this 3-5-1-2 formation. I think 4-3-3 would make us more solid and give us more confidence.
