Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [16th - 20th August 2014]-LvGOUT!

Signing Di Maria would leave more questions than answers whatever system you play.

If you switch to a 4-3-3 then Mata and 1 of either Rooney or RvP are either being left out or played out of position. And there's no chance of you playing Di Maria as a wing back in a 3-5-2. He'd be replacing one of Mata, Rooney or RvP and you'll play with Di Maria behind a front 2 or you'll play him + Mata behind a single striker.

Utd's biggest problem is something I've said 100 times about Liverpool over the last few years, different managers with different ideas signing different players. Utd have got Rooney and RvP so they have to play them, Moyes then spends £35m+ on Mata so they have to play him and Van Gaal's left with 2 other managers players trying to fit them into his system.

Yeah, I'm not sure what we're going to do. We'd be better off selling more of these players and starting with a clean slate where possible. I think the 3-5-2 fits our players well in theory, but it means we really have to get more players in for central midfield and another defender or two. Evans is our only experienced defender and he seems to be getting more and more injury prone.

Di Maria is very much a winger though, or he can play as part of a midfield 3 (not really behind the striker, he was more of a box to box player for RM last season).

Spending £50m on Di Maria to play him behind the striker would be sheer insanity.

 

[antijoke]

Wow, this team looks so United.

 

[drunkenmaster]

So glad we didn't get Fabregas....... no really. We have Ozil the lazy and limited and Ramsey, no need for Fabregas's quality at all. If I was on that board Wenger would be fired for making that decision, worst decision anyone ever made in football.. first choice to resign a player of his quality and we turn it down.

 

[Dimi]

That goal, great to see him back in the EPL. He'll get a ton of assists in that team.

Don't worry Wallcott will be back from injury soon.

 

[Azza]

What is Fabregas doing?

 

[drunkenmaster]

DM what do you think of Fabregas?

Well the pass he made just then was a little rubbish so... meh, he's okay I guess

 

[nemtizz]

That was disgusting.

 

[Rids]

That ball from Fabregas.

**** I hate being an Arsenal fan.

 

[Purdy]

Go 2-1 up in your first game of the season? Start singing about Steve, really are a dim bunch

 

[Cosimo]

What is Fabregas doing?

Practicing miskicks.

 

[nemtizz]

Worst fans in the league IMO.

 

[BaZ87]

Purdy I don't want to wake up to pm's from Dons and emails from you asking why you've been suspended again!

 

[Dimi]

WTF, that was 100% a penalty

 

[Ayahuasca]

Yep 100% pen that

 

[No1newts]

Would have been soft but that was a pen, terrible call.

 

[Rids]

He went down a bit easy there, no?

 

[Psycho Ned]

Was looking for it but did get clipped. Think a booking was harsh!

 

[Cosimo]

Can't believe that wasn't given as a penalty.

 

[Sui]

He was going down before he was clipped imo, either way decision really.
