Ok so we have signed Blind.

Fine, he's a good utility player and cover number of positions but I still have few questions about the timing of this transfer.

_______________________________________________
Let's go over a few facts:

1. Blind has been available for transfer since the day the World Cup ended then why have we waited for so long to bring him in?

2. If he wasn't a target at the beginning of the window then what logic do we employ signing him after Rojo and Shaw?

3. If he has been signed as a CDM does that mean Carvalho will not be coming? To be honest i'd take Carvalho over him.

If he was a target from the beginning then why did we sign him earlier? At least we'd be saved from watching Ashley Young.
(This was probably the least complicated transfer for us)


Our transfer dealings have been confusing and unconvincing to me. I do not mean the players themselves but just the way we take decisions and the way we go about buying players that is confusing and unconvincing.


From SAFs last season where we had 2 left footed starters(Evra, RvP) now somehow we have 7-8 left footed starters.

Agree fully. I'm getting very frustrated wit the transfer dealings as we will be too far behind the top yes before our singing are eventually made.
Seem to have no idea who or what we need

It is obvious he was not first choice and might have to do with players being moved on that we will know soon enough.

I think the reason he has been signed is the same reason as Di Maria and Rojo. He is effective in a number of positions which means that during a game utd can switch easily from 3-5-2 to 4-3-3 to suit the situation. Foe example if blind is one of 3 centre backs in 3-5-2 when formation is changed he can push on to midfield, di Maria push on to top left. Players like this will make us a very effective team, we just need a while to get to grips with the formation.
