United don't get Wes and with the Tevez (and Ade, SWP, and Ned) money, we get Lavezzi, Mata and Nasri and end up with a net spend of around 25 million pounds for the entire window. I just don't see why this isn't happening. Makes perfect sense to me...what am I missing?

He will have a hard enough time coping with the loss of Eto'o.

because football doesn't work like an all-star team. You. Can. Not. Have Nasri, Lavezzi, Mata, Silva, Johnson, Dzeko, Balotelli, Aguero to compete for 3 or 4 spots, rotation or not. Does. Not. Work.
Sucre said:When Nasri played centrally for Arsenal he was terrible. The majority of his time at Arsenal he was played wide, and that's where all of his best games came from. He was an attacking midfielder during his time at Marseille but his performances in the PL when central have shown that he is not capable of playing there, and he should be used as a winger.
Well you're completely wrong then.20sbc07 said:Sucre said:When Nasri played centrally for Arsenal he was terrible.

I completely disagree, Nasri was by far at his best in the centre when Fabregas was injured. When Fabregas played he was pushed outside and went missing in games.

Absolutely wrong. At 60 games a season you need 3 players for every 2 spots. That makes 40 starts per player which is a good avg. Johnson is not a starter so scratch him from the list. At that point we will finally have the depth to play the best in the world twice a week.
Many on this board are expecting two big signings (e.g. Nasri and Sneijder). Considering Tevez is still in the squad how is that different from what I am suggesting?

I am being realistic. Answer the question: How is Tevez, Nasri, and Sneijder fundamentally different from Lavezzi, Nasri, and Mata?Andouble said:BlueJill said:Andouble said:because football doesn't work like an all-star team.

all other top teams deal with it. You see no other team in the world be able to bring on 4 of those names off the bench any which game like you are planning to do.
It would take two weeks when we play big games that Mancio makes a chance or two to upset the ranks. You need players who know their roles. 25 million pound world superstars don't sit on the bench every other game. Please, I know we are the world's richest club, but let's get a big realistic here.
