Hi all, getting a bit fed up of the doom and gloom tbh. So thought I would think positive and try and lift the mood. So here we go.

Lets say we get Coentrao, how would people feel about pushing Evra to LW (as per Spurs did with Bale) as that would give balance to the left side (& possibly give more defensive stability). It would also mean that Evra could make those darting runs without having to do the the tracking back (which he's struggled with the last 18 months).

With this in mind it means Danny wouldn't have to play on the left and can use his pace up front. It would also mean Januzaj could play in the no 10 role and then it would mean we would only need to select two from Carrick, Clevs, Giggs, Fletch, Ando ot Jones. I know once RVP and Rooney are injured and once fit the front two would alter and obviously if any other central midfield signings were made so would the combinations.I know its a bit out of left field but I think it would help with our creativity and problems with crossing the ball.

Lets have your thoughts.

P.s. I know its too easy to sit and bemoan the recent results and lack of activity, but we still need to support the boys once they cross the white line.

I think he's worth a try on left wing. He is good going forward and is left footed. Nobody else is playing well in that position and we are short on left footers. Short term worth a try if be has a decent defender behind him

Not sure about that - what about exchanging Rooney for Mata and Ashley Cole? Would address 2 problem positions with RvP or Hernandez as the out and out striker.

Coentrao would playing left mid I think played there for befica for a while

To be honest I'd push Buttner up to left wing with Coentrao behind him. The lad does have a lot of skill and his dribbling is very good. Another thing I have noticed is that he'll pick up very quickly if a cross is on, if it isn't he likes to play the ball inside; I've seen him make some nice 10/15 yard passes ahead of him onto the edge of the box.

Square pegs. Round holes.

It's come to this, debating which full back to play on the wing.

Tbh AJH, it was just a thought for the short term incase the midfield problem isn't dealt with in Jan. God only knows what's going on in that regard.
