United have addressed their lack of creativity in the middle (Kagawa been outstanding in pre-season for them as he was in the Bundesliga, their version of Silva) and also have their best defender back - of course they are strengthened. And if they do sign van Persie that is a giant upgrade for them too as he is much better than Welbeck. All they will lack is a version of Yaya but in most games that doesn't matter as nearly all Premier League clubs except us and Newcastle (via Cabaye and Tiote) seem incapable of exploiting that and use the age old route of hitting it long (straight to their defenders) or giving it to a winger.
Hopefully the retooled Dippers can take 6pts off them this time.
Vast difference in pace between Bundesliga/pre season and the PL plenty have come from Germany and gone back with their tails between their legs. Also last time I counted in a 4-4-2 formation you need 4 decent defenders, try as I might (even if their best defender makes a full recovery) I can count erm.......2
The Bundesliga is the closest any league in the world is to the PL, so that point's flawed.
