IF they end up signing say Blind and Rojo, or either, I still think they have gone backwards even from last season.
Cleary they have improved in the managerial stakes but lets be honest that wasn't too difficult, but I don't see Shaw as an upgrade on Evra just yet and is Herrera going to solve their midfield problems? Again he looks a good player and something they have been missing but is he going to dominate a game against Yaya, Matic, Gerrard or Ramsey?
The next worry for them has to be their formation, I can't remember the last team that successfully played 3-5-2 in the PL on a regular basis and made it work. They certainly don't have the players to do it at the moment.
I would imagine their first XI would look something like this if either Blind or Rojo are coming in.

Am I missing something or is that team anything but bang average?
