They're going to have to overpay to attract players of his quality, it's going to be an uphill battle just to qualify for the Champions League again over the next few years.

Man City have strengthened.
Chelsea have strengthened.
Arsenal have strengthened.
Liverpool have strengthened.
Everton and Tottenham look a lot better.

Man United look like a mid table side, too many key players have abandoned ship during the summer and not been sufficiently replaced.

I don't think Everton look better and I'd take a bet we don't get as many points too. 7th.
 
I pretty much gave up on football last season, probably just tuned in for champ league games and boy have the last 2 games been an eye opener. Its hard to believe this is a United "team".

As already stated numerous times

Fletcher, Cleverly, Young, Valencia, Carrick, Nani and Anderson need slinging from a slingshot to any team that will have them.

Keep Kagawa and Fellaini as backups

Herrera, Rojo, Shaw, Di Maria, Januzaj all playing will turn this B grade team to a class side, another quality CM & CB and we will have a decent side that should be competing in the top 4 in a season or two. Will probably need a young powerful and pacy striker too as lets face it Rooney and Van Persi aren't getting any younger and don't exactly provide Mata with a lot of options.

Hull got shafted pretty bad from that throw in.

Worried we're going to get bummed tomorrow, its the only result I can see if we have Gerrard/Lucas midfield
 
Really looking forward to tonight's game though we need to drop Lucas and Johnson neither of them won a single tackle at Southampton, Lucas was as mobile as a snail, I'd like to see can given the go but I think Rodgers will only give moreno his debut

Lucas has never got back to the pre injury form which made him decent.
 
So you can field what is potentially your strongest 11 (now minus Suarez), against City's strongest 11.

I think City should shade it but they've always got a bad game in them.

We can but we could have last week and Rodgers still gave Lucas a chance and thats my worry that if he starts tonight are midfield will get over ran as it will Gerrard having to do it all.
