just saw a rumour that united will move for calvalho if the vidal move fails. who would we prefer? I think carvalho would be wiser, with him being younger and we could develop him.

Carvalho is a good player and if the Vidal deal collapsed then he would be the player I'd want instead.

No, we got enough players with 'potential'. If we want to compete we need world class players. The way I see it is if we want players with potential to flourish we nedd to integrate them slowly into a world beating team. that's why we saw how well nani did in the 07/08 team. Barca do the same as we've seen with busquets and pedro

I think Vidal would be the wise option for the team this year, we need to get back into the CL and he will have an immediate impact.
However, if Van Gaal sees Strootman as a box to box midfielder then getting Carvallho now and Strootman in the future makes sense.
Either way we need at least 1 additional CM this window.

Erm, let me think.

Would you rather Suarez or Gareth Ainsworth?

Carvalho is going to be a beast in the mold of yaya(maybe more defensive)and if he goes to arsenal he will be a huge player for them,I'd love him and think he is more the kind of player we need than vidal ,but if it is vidal I'll still be ecstatic

I've got a feeling we'll regret it if Carvalho ends up at another Prem team. I'd give Cuadrado a miss and go for Vidal and Carvalho.

Brad76 - I think LVG sees strootman as a ball-playing defensive midfielder, Carrick's long term replacement.

Herrera will be the main box-to-box midfielder, although Strootman can cover this role too when needed.

LVG won't buy a cm just for the sake of it, if he can't get one he wants, he won't get one, and the current group should do until January when Strootman will be fit.

Someone like Blind who can cover another role might be possible though.

We will not bid or get carvalho

Thorne, totally agree with you on Strootman. However he is an adaptable player who could play both roles.
Carvallho I think would be good, Blind would be cheaper option with more adaptability.
You are right, he won't buy for the sake of it which is a big change from the Moyes era
