That one wouldn't surprise me at all. LvG seems determined to stick with 3-5-2 so getting a defender who has some experience with it makes sense. Not to mention - holy #### has Evans been horrible. I actually thought he played pretty well last year but he seems completely out of his depth in a 3-5-2 (as do most of the CBs that have played so far).
While I agree with you to a certain point, this is another bandaid over a broken arm. They missed out on de Vrij and Martins Indi, who combined would have cost less than Rojo!
I'm more than willing to admit that they've overpaid and right now have some mismatched parts - no doubt. However, you can't have it both ways. Everyone save a few United fans have been saying they needed a major overhaul and an infusion of talent. Well, that's exactly what they are doing. You can't convince me that basically every club in the world wouldn't want ADM and Falcao. Just imagine they did this during the offseason after SAF left - the story would be reloading and not panic buys. And I don't give two ####s about the money as the Glazers have been lining their pockets and living off SAF's legacy.
I have no problem with the spending. Its the whining and moaning when other teams spent big to break into the upper echelons of the league. Thats exactly what United is doing now. YOU guys cant have it both ways.
Agreed, especially with the bolded. If they didn't line their pockets so much and gave Fergie more scratch, they'd be in better shape.
That's the real story here - United are panic buying all over the place, but if you panic buy at a high enough price people compliment it as ambitious.
This is how Borini's transfer negotiations with Rodgers have gone.

Can QPR stay in the PL permanently, please?
With all the incredible soccer channel/agreements I've been able to watch every minute of basically all their matches for the last 8 years - now is the time to panic!That's the real story here - United are panic buying all over the place, but if you panic buy at a high enough price people compliment it as ambitious.
Falcao has never played in the PL and is coming off of a major knee injury, and they're paying that. That's insanity.
Looks like Borini torpedoed thisThis is how Borini's transfer negotiations with Rodgers have gone.

Fabio Borini currently earns £30,000 a week. Fee of £13m agreed between QPR and LFC, but he's looking to treble his wages. Poorly advised.
I'm not just bashing on United here. I thought they should have been far more aggressive a year ago in the transfer market, and Moyes' biggest mistakt was being too deferential and failing to seize hold of the team and remake it the way he wanted to.With all the incredible soccer channel/agreements I've been able to watch every minute of basically all their matches for the last 8 years - now is the time to panic!That's the real story here - United are panic buying all over the place, but if you panic buy at a high enough price people compliment it as ambitious.

What do you mean by "normally?" He was a #6 as a youth player. He played LB for 18 months for Ajax. He then spent his last season with Ajax playing pretty much exactly the way that Gerrard plays now for Liverpool. A ball playing CDM who drops between the center backs defensively. Then he played, for the first time, wing back for the Dutch until De Jong got hurt (when THEY moved him to CDM and started Kuyt as LWB).
Di Maria's wasted out wide - he should be played as the 10. But that means that Mata's on the bench. This is one reason why all of this buying is so strange.
He's played both, but De Boer moved him to CM for the 2013/2014 season, earning him the nickname "the Dutch Lahm." He's almost certainly a CM for Man U. My guess is that Man U plays a narrow 4-4-2 diamond that looks something like this as a first choice side.
They could also go to a 4-3-3 and sit Herrera.
I don't think they'd win a game with that. Mata and Di maria as CMs? You're having a laugh
He's a striker who was played out wide more than a wing/striker hybrid; wing is his secondary position. Arsenal would play him in his natural position.
I also cant fit the current pieces in a 3-5-2 though the backline seems to make more sense. It can work if:
I can't believe that wage number - almost certainly false.That's the real story here - United are panic buying all over the place, but if you panic buy at a high enough price people compliment it as ambitious.

Any United fan that was sincerely whining and moaning was being a hypocrite and not worthy of discussion - they been the biggest culprit over the years, no doubt.I have no problem with the spending.

Hernandez is no slouch, I think he's in the top 3-4 for minutes per goal in his time in the EPL.
