Why aren't you signing anymore defenders?

    You seriously do need another 2 CB's at least. Your manager seriously can't see the likes of Jones and Smalling as serious 1st choice candidates for a team that's hoping to get back into the title race.

    For ****s sake, Shaw is top class potentially, but from what I've heard he's not in great shape and not in the right frame of mind, because your manager stated he was lucky to even play in a friendly!

    Rafael is ****ing ****. Sorry, but he is. You should be after another RB.

    What he said, but in a less abusive way.

    Have to say I agree with his sentiment.
    If you got Hummels and another RB I could see you challenging for title.
    As it is.....top 4 probably.....

    Bit of a nerve 666 tash 666. You support the bar codes and your recommending we buy defenders? Put you own house in order first!

    And your not the norm Geordie, most of them avoid nonsensical question on here, so you must be the exception to the rule. I take it if we subtract the last 3 numbers of your use name from the first 3, the result is an indication of your IQ number

    Rafael is very good, had a bad season last season. Who didnt?

    We need more though, quickly.

    How on earth do you know what state of mind he's in?

    Van Gaal said he wasn't fit enough to play the current system. i.e. as a wing back. Yet.

    Big deal, all he needs to do is work on it.

    Next question, how do you know we're not signing any more centre halves?

    I be more worried about Chelsea lose 3-0 to some rubbish German team. Rafael is probably in the top 3 best RBs in the league.

    Doesn't even show up on my radar mate.
    Wasnt even aware we had a game until someone bought it up on our board.

    Ill judge Chelsea after half a dozen games of the actual season, and not a friendly (not even a glorified friendly, just a plain old friendly).

  9. Agree with that bit (but for Liverpool obviously). As I said on one of these threads the other day, Voronin (twice), Pacheco and Aspas looked like world beaters in pre-season games in previous years. They mean ****all.

    Seems a strange analysis when you consider United only let in 43 goals, so why the need for more defenders?

    To me the solution lies in more freely scoring midfielders & forwards

    You no longer have the back four that let in "only" 43 goals though.
    Rio is gone, Vidic is gone, evra is gone.

    Rafael is no Glen Johnson. Rafael can defend a bit!
