If I am honest none of the players that left are good enough so I am happy with that,the loan deals give others a chance to prove how good they are so again I am happy,with the exception of Adnan which baffles me.
However we don't have enough depth in the squad and have took a massive gamble on an unproven Striker,paid over the odds and gave him the 9 shirt which pours pressure on him,I just wonder why we did not add another striker even as a short term replacement cause unless as edwood said they all preform to the top of their ability we could be in trouble by the next window and even the Jan is not an easy time to sign players.

I'm happy at centre back but I'm worried by the strength in depth of the whole attack. Having said that, the attackers we have let go hardly helped us last season, Januzaj should have stayed if we weren't going to sign another attacker but I suppose it gives Wilson, Lingard and Pereira a chance to step up. Although even with them as Marc pointed out earlier we're still a little light. Just got to suck it up and support the team. I think Martial could turn out to be a good signing if he can adapt to the league. His pace and strength is what we've been missing in attack this season. I also think the creators need to step up, Herrera, Mata, Schweinsteiger, Memphis and even Rooney if he drops back to number 10 playing off Martial need to start moving the ball forward much quicker so we can utilise the pace we could now have up front. Obviously we overpaid in a big way for Martial but we needed pace and he has that,Obviously we will support the team through thick and thin and Rooney was a disaster at 9 so perhaps they will gel into a better team now but they are to light in numbers as a squad,any injuries up front and it's a crisis in the making.

Im new so don't want to start another thread so soon,can I ask if everyone else is as annoyed by our lack of strength at centre back and striker?
Can anyone tell me the logic of allowing Hernandez and Januzaj leave without replacing them? Not saying I was happy to have either but to leave the squad so small seems insane.

still talk of Wilson going on loan That makes sense,the last thing we want is a striker at the moment...ohhh wait

Hopefully his controlling girlfriend dumps him because he can't move there yet and he's more inclined to sign a new deal. Yes I agree,his personal happiness is not Important I know he will probably go on a free now but m main concern is LVG playing him now,stubborn guy might say 'he wanted to go I dont want him' even if it means playing Romero.

Well as long as he plays, I see no reason why not. He's like a new signing himself! If he plays then he goes in the CL squad and that means Madrid would only want him next season (cup tied) and not at Christmas,If he had a brain he would forget about Madrid now after how he was treated,interesting to see what happens.

Journo's know nothing as usual. Martial hadn't been mentioned until the French journo broke the news about him. Just has to be at least 1 other player being brought in. While I think you should be correct, it seems unlikely with 5 1/2 hours to go a deal will be done. Madrid have given up on De Gea the deal is finished they won't appeal.

Even with Lingard and Pereria, we currently only have 21 outfield players (including Martial) with squad numbers. Darmian/Valencia -- Smalling/Jones -- Blind/McNair -- Shaw/Rojo
Schweinsteiger/Carrick -- Schneiderlin/Herrera
Mata/Pereira -- Fellaini/Lingard -- Memphis/Young
Rooney/Martial/Wilson The cover in attack just isn't there. This is bizzare in the extreme,should we get a few Injuries like last season we will be thread bare,we are 3-4 players short

That was before we sold/loaned out half of our attack. What he said. I said we were good for number but would be happy with another attacker. We've got another attacker but let two more go. Is that really so hard to figure out? For LVG it seems to be difficult to figure out.

That was before we sold/loaned out half of our attack. Not even a sniff with 6 hours to go,you would imagine with the outs yesterday we would be getting two or three in as we seem a bit bare for a season in CL I fear it's over.

There's enough rumours flying about, Berahino, Robben, Reus.. That guy from Bayer Leverkusen with the complicated name. Mata with the through ball,nodded on by Rooney,memphis plays a one two with Herrera and then slots it through to 'That guy from Bayer Leverkusen with the complicated name' GOAL Getting his name on the shirt will cost a fortune :lol:

We did everything right, Madrid admitting fault now. Well they did leave it to the last day which was a pointless risk,still expect the appeal to work even if it never has before in Spain

Joking aside with all the players sold or loaned out I hope for at least one more surprise transfer today.

I suspect the deal for Bale should go through now seen as the De Gea deal went so well.
