Creative midfield players!

We could (as a stop gap) try pushing Vinny into midfield with MDM & Nastatic or Lescott as centre backs.
A 4 3 1 2 formation might work with him playing alongside yaya and fern... He has pace ,good close control and will add strength and pace in midfield
Silva or Jesus playing in the hole behind the Beast and edin..

Or we could use one of our midfielders in midfield and keep the best centre-back in the Premier League in his natural position.

Apparently, Navas has created more goals and scored more than Nasri, as has Silva, so no need to worry!
Also Aguero is back for our next Prem game, he's no slouch in the creative stakes either, plus we often have difficulty trying to accommodate Nasri and Aguero in the same line up.

I'm not worried about our creativity. Even without Silva and Nasri at the same time we'd still be capable of scoring enough goals, at least against most teams. But measuring the contribution of a player to the team simply through goals and assists is overly simplistic. Nasri playing well makes the whole team function better. He's like a Gareth Barry of attacking midfielders.

If we could find another Ali Bernarbia that would do till the end of the season.

We will not sign another creative player in this window.

You're probably right Ray but you don't definitively know that, do you ?

Can't just keep signing players because 1 gets injured. Navas will give a better balance to the team imo Silva & Nasri get the free roam and away from home we seem to suffer in Midfield until Navas gets introduced. We'll be fine Yaya can push further forward it's only 8 weeks.

Hopefully jovetic will play soon, but yeah another creative option wouldn't do harm especially with Nas injured.

Jovetic doesn't play in midfield and not a direct replacement for the injured nasri.

Jovetić can play on the left wing and cut inside in a 4-2-3-1 in which he can also play behind the striker.

True I am only guessing and we could sign an unknown South American player but in terms of the European market then our options are very limited at this stage of the season imho.

Disagree. He's a #10 who can also play out wide of a 3.

United have Nani, Young, Valencia, Kagawa,Januzaj & Zaha. 6

Chelsea have Mata, Hazard, Oscar, Willian, Schurle. 5

I think we should count Milner as a utility player not as an attacking midfielder, he is the best cover for RB, CM and AM positions.
