I was asked to name midfielders who I would consider good enough not if we could afford them.
*ahem*
What player's can we buy that are not stupidly priced that would improve our team?

Aye because we have a history of not getting who we want from Spurs.
Sneijder and Diarra, not United class.
The midfielders who I'd take at United and would substantially improve us are Essien, Gerrard, Cesc, Xavi, Inestia.
None of which we have a chance of getting.
*ahem*
History of tapping them up too.
I knew there was a reason I didn't read your posts.
We all know that their teams wouldn't let them go anyway so what was your point again? I'm talking realistically players we could get :/
People in glass houses and all that
Which is exactly hat we need.
Sneijder I mentioned because he would be cheap and can do what Anderson/Gibson/Giggs have been trying to do for 2 seasons get up and down the pitch and spray balls about.
He's also an excellent set piece taker which is what we have been missing since Beckham left.

As DM will no doubt tell you if he sees your post, Diarra was never not good enough for Arsenal. He got fed up waiting for his chance in the first team after Flamini showed that amazing form he did for us two years ago, and kicked up a fuss until he got a move. I can't speak for definite, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's why he left Chelsea too. At Portsmouth he was pretty damned good, all told.
And you can't seriously be using the fact that Real Madrid don't rate a defensive player as reason he'd be no good. It's Real Madrid, after all. They don't do defending.
One think which I'd say in support of Liverpool fans is that generally they seem always very optimistic (from reading RAWK) whilst United fans for no reason at all seem to always predict the oncoming destruction of our club.
Diarra is shockingly bad, everyone knows that except me and thee and Real Madrid that payed 20 odd million pound for him because he is exactly like Makalele in the fact that he sits there and breaks up play.
Something that United, Arsenal and Chelsea lack (without Essien).
Who have we tapped up?
Do we though? 90% of games we'll easily out pass the opposition and in the games we don't we've got Fletcher to run around a win the ball back and if he ever has a second coming then Hargreaves will be around also. Unfortunately for United in the one game where we did need a Fletcher or a Hargreaves one was suspended and the other was injured.
I can almost guarantee if United signed a Diarra or Palacios the United fans on here would moan constantly about them not being able to pass the ball, create chances or score goals the same way they moan about the likes of Anderson now.
Carrick aint bad a spraying the balls around either fyi
S'alright, we tell Fabregas to do that for us now. \o/Diarra is shockingly bad, everyone knows that except me and thee and Real Madrid that payed 20 odd million pound for him because he is exactly like Makalele in the fact that he sits there and breaks up play.

Mikel's great at that too.
I'd hardly call 2 players a "history" and we didn't even try to keep Carrick, a mistake by Levy but still....Aye because we have a history of not getting who we want from Spurs.

I think that's a disservice to Keane to be honest, he was a box to box midfielder who wasn't shy of getting forward or doing a stint in front of the back four
Wasn't until his final couple of years that he was as limited in what he could do as Palacios and Diarra are now
I maintain that we've never played with a player who's sole purpose is to win the ball and pass it 5 yards for someone else to take over
