Looking like Will Keane is going to QPR now.

Really interesting 6 months for these players. So many of the u-21's now gone out on loan. I make that 6 and possibly one or two more to go.

Could be Moyes wanting to see them play at a higher level before selling them or keeping them.

MAYBE..........Moyes didn't want any of them as he feels the squad he has whilst not capable of winning the premier league would be capable of a top 4 finish and THEN he will address the underlying need of a LB and CB.

If you or anyone else on this forum were asked the question whether the following Manchester United team would struggle for 4th place you would have slapped them in the face and called them a troll

DDG
RAF----VIDIC----EVANS----EVRA
Carrick/Fellani
Mata
Rooney
Adnan
RVP

If that team can't clinch 4th place............

Raf and Evra are major liabilities in that lineup which is why I don't see the fantastic 4 starting together unless both fullbacks hit form soon.

We've been playing with a second RB at RW and normally a LW who tracks back a lot as well to help the fullbacks and yet we've still been bombarded down the wings this season. Playing both Adnan and Mata would make it a whole lot worse.

only 6 hours and 32 minutes for refreshing left !!

Moyes not signing a central midfielder makes sense because, presumably, he has faith in his own judgement that Fellaini is the right man for the job. Myself I think he is an awkward fit with the other players we have.

What I can't understand is how Moyes didn't buy a left back to compete with, or straight up replace, Evra and a right back to cover Rafael. So much of Moyes' system relies on the fullbacks in the attack, and Evra has been poor defending for so long, how Moyes can do nothing with that part of the team vexes me. I am terribly vexed.

IvySlayer · 31-01-2014 5:31pm

Phil Jones and Ryan Giggs start in CM vs Cardiff and United not making any new signings? All that scouting in Italy and Germany went well then. Not making top four, Moyes can walk, he should be wrestling the board for signings.

Maximus Alexander · 31-01-2014 5:31pm

On the bright side, City aren't signing anyone either.

Wonder what CM partnership will the CM roulette wheel throw out tomorrow?

It's been a while since we saw Rafael in CM anyway.

And it's not as if the full back position is expensive. There should be loads of £7-12m fullbacks around that are better than Evra. Can't really understand it myself.

Do you intentionally spell players names wrong? Or are you dyslexic or something?

I'm not trying to be offensive but if you support the club, at the very least, I'd expect you to know how to spell our players names.

Are my expectations too high? :pac:

I think we are going to have a great win tomorrow, Just watching videos of RVP it's almost as if we have forgotten just how good he is and with Rooney and Mata playing should be fun to watch.

Maximus Alexander · 31-01-2014 6:05pm

Between Moyes' comments earlier and the complete lack of even rumour activity, I think I'm going to have to cancel my evening in front of SSN.

Like I said, I wasn't trying to be offensive. I could have called him a long list of other words, some of which I'd likely get infracted for. I just don't understand how someone can continuously spell players names incorrectly unless they're doing it intentionally.

Will I Amnt · 31-01-2014 6:10pm

Having a go at someone for misspelling Januzaj is a bit shìtty.
It's not as if it's Mata or Evra in fairness.

Wouldn't like to have seen you lads around when Sneijder was the hot topic or Kuszczak was getting game time.

The_Kew_Tour · 31-01-2014 6:14pm

my spelling can be awful at times. I keep forgetting to proof read before I post and normally have edit quickly.

a mixture of predictive text and just forgetting.

In which cases it's perfectly fine to let it slide. Everybody makes mistakes.

It's just when it's the same mistake in every post for days, or even weeks on end I start getting irritated.

I can't help it! :pac:

I think the point was more the constant use of Dea Gea for our goalie.

Hell I just call Adnan Adnan so I don't have to google it everytime I write about him.

Nalz · 31-01-2014 6:50pm

its just a j instead of an i at the end

Jan-u-zaij

just put a liccle curl on the bottom of the i and bobs your clothesline

2moreMinutes · 31-01-2014 6:52pm

Spelling is why I'd love if we signed Vidal but not love it as much if we signed Gungagungondundon.

I see the same people spelling things incorrectly every time. Once I know who they're on about it doesn't bother me.

Kawaga/Saurez/Schneider/Skertl/Cleverly/Wellbeck...
We all know who they are.

This is one thing I'm surprised Moyes hasn't been questioned about. The week of the Chelsea game he spent 3 days scouting around Europe (as did Phil Neville) before getting pretty much outplayed against Chelsea the following Sunday.

Surely if these signings were not going to be done in this transfer window then he could've picked a more opportune moment to scout these players?

Height of ignorance to say that,and never mind the attempt at backtracking in your next post.
