Anybody else a little worried that Carrick will be our only number 6 next year? If, and more like when, he gets injured, we could be starting to look very dodgy again in midfield without his calming influence.

I also think we need to stick with Valdes or bring in Lloris when it comes to keepers. It's vital to give Smalling experienced players to allow him to concentrate on defending rather than worrying about sheparding his defensive unit.

Absolutely delighted with Depay signing up. Mentioned him as an ideal signing about a year ago and think he has the potential to be very dangerous very quickly. If he gets a good start, he'll be terrorising defenders with a direct approach we've lacked for a while now, excluding our application of Fellaini last season!

LVG said he would sign a number 6 but i don't see us linked with many. Mayb it will b someone we havnt heard of or mayb clearing the decks for a worldie will b javi Martinez. LVG insists that 6 is the most important position and i don't think there's any1 better than Martinez atm

Is that not what Schneiderlin is being bought for?

Definitely think we will need one more midfiled signing to have us covered on that front. An injury to Herrera will mean we have the Fellaini hoofball show (as LVG only seems to rate mate on the right)

No disrespect to Fellaini as without him we wouldn't have secured that 4th place spot - I just find it worrying that we are one or two injuries away from being forced to play that way. It will not work all the time - esepcially against more tactically astute managers.
