I normally don't really bother watching any preseason games but with these 'international champions cup' games this summer I have watched a fair amount of games as most have been televised and I have enjoyed watching most of them.
Anyway onto my point, when Di Maria leaves we all (or most of us) would expect him to be replaced by a reasonably talented player. I see cries of "Reus, Bale, Ronaldo and Greizmann etc" all of whom don't get me wrong would be great signings, but with Depay able to play on the wing (which I hope is going to be the case) I don't see the point in bringing in another winger.
I think we all feel like we are short in the striking department and I of course wouldn't mind sacrificing Di Maria for a top goal getter but if we plan on bringing in a midfielder I would like us to seriously look at Isco from Madrid. He has been the best player I have seen in all preseason games and his technique is unbelievable. He always plays with his head up and is the closest thing I have seen to David Silva (who I believe is the best playmaker in the league).
Would Isco be available? I'm not sure but I know he was linked with City and Arsenal a while back. Like I said if we sign a striker of top standing then fantastic but if we plump for another midfielder to replace Di Maria we should look at this guy who is, I believe, better than what we have already got.

I like Depay where he has been playing to be honest. Isco would be a great signing though.

We need a right sided winger we can't keep playing mata there he slows the game up when we're trying to counter attack.The left sides sorted with young and depay if we're going to play with a no 10 I would rather it was her erra he's a better fit.Hfully pedro is getting signed for the right side and mata gets dropped to the bench it would make our forward line quicker and more dynamic instead of it being slow and laboured like last season

I would be disappointed if we signed Pedro to be honest? He's experienced that's all? I'd prefer, sorry to go on, either Felipe Anderson or Domenico Berardi? Much better options long term?

The thing is AJH a manager doesn't have the time to tinker in this league. You lose a few games and then it's a struggle to climb back up the hill. Let's hope he gets it right from the start.

Surely Herrera's name is nailed onto the team sheet for the first PL game. If he isn't and we don't get three points it will only fuel the fire to the criticism of the manager and his tactics which both LVG and more importantly us the fans do not want to happen.

The manager worries me with his selections and formations like you say Sch-no-midfield but it's preseason so I'm not reading too much into it. Having said that we will have to start with a bang as I can't see the big teams like Arsenal, Chelsea, City and even Liverpool starting slow as some of them did last season.

It was never going to happen to be honest. Someone else will be flavour of the week in a few days.

I would tend to agree with you StandUnited. I think the point you make about Herrera is important, he would be the first name on the team sheet for me.
