    Moses Yes
    Carrick No
    Huddlestone Yes
    Jenas No
    Malouda Not sure!
    Jarvis Yes
    Barton Not a ****ing chance
    Petrov No
    Johnson Yes
    Dembele Yes

    I'll add Hoilett to that list as well as I think he's almost ready made to replace Sessegnon if he goes (hope he doesn't though)

    Why do some of your option include more defensive type midfielders?

    In fact why does it include wingers?

    Sessegnon is a creative central midfielder isn't he? I know he can play on the wing, but he's better used like behind a striker and feeding players and working his magic in the middle of the park.

    Thanks for that! Of course I suppose Doncaster's central midfielder is more realistic??

    Moses or Hoillett.

    Nobody else from that list.

    Jarvis & Dembele I like, but neither could be seen as a replacement for Sess.

    You've either got a personal vendetta against Carrick or you've seen very little of him this season.

    I'll admit, and be the first to hold my hand up if somebody said "Who thought Carrick was past it last season". But you couldn't be more wrong, this season he has showed the United fans the Carrick who we bought, he's been steady in midfield all season and provided some delightful forward play as well. His timing is impeccable in most matches, and only when he's been partnered in CM by Phil Jones has he had worse games, having to do the job of two CM's.

    Dembele - He's cracking, probably the best player in that list.

    Moses would be a decent replacement, as would Zaha (maybe give Palace Wickham in exchange).

    Zaha is an idea, skillful as anything, and also a bite more of a physical presence than Sess.

    I'd rather keep Sess than anyone on that list, point to note!

    Nowt against him, just thought he was a bit of a crock, prone to a lot of injuries..

    You seem shocked that someone doesn't rate one of your players....

    Must admit i havn't watched to many of your matches as basically i couldn't give a **** about Man U...are you shocked again?

    Although i will be glued to my tele at 2am in the morning awaiting the game and hoping for a City win.......my perogative.

    Im not a lover of Carrick either, as for the rest, its all been said above, either too old/past it, or not realistic options for SAFC.
