Lacazette is a poacher, just like Falcao. The need is striker who can hold up play, beat a man, and also have good eye for killer passes aimed at the goal scoring flank men. In other words, the striker will basically be a "false nine" as it is called these days. The 4-3-3 formation doesn't really need a poacher to thrive.
The signing of Memphis Depay and Angel di Maria will see a full switch to the proper system. I see no need bringing a player who may not thrive in the intended primary system; and if it's a plan B thingy then we have Javier Hernandez already. Louis van Gaal's emphasis should be on the players who'll fit into the system he has in mind, and if tactics of recent weeks are anything to go by, he's going to settle on a 4-3-3 formation next campaign.
Den ur man is benz..! Players of such qualities u mentioned are scarce in the market and are even few in the game. If I am correct aguero(club wont sell to ManU),suarez(club wont sell),lewadoski(though he didnt impress much this season when compared to previous season however club maybe tempted to sell depending on which direction dey choose to go next season),benz(Mr miss chances but also scores a couple of dem too and club could want to cash in with the gist of aguero going the order way),Muller(I seriously doubt dey will sell this one),kane(doubt club will sell howver It is worth a try @ 25mil the most),kevin mirallas(do not think is a manU quality),and benteke(not so sure he will fit well though).

The number one question here is 'where will Rooney play next season?' If CF, then no need finding a top CF since he must play. So we either recall Chicha or look for Benteke or Ings.

benz is de man, no doubt, i'll love to see him put on the no.9 red shirt. Benz has a good scoring record, he's a clinical striker , just that if you are on the same team with ronaldo or messi , you won't score more than them, tevez, rooney, alan smith, hiquain, berbatov, saha, are sum of d players dat suffered on the hands of ronaldo's goal scoring abilties, to me benz is better than every current bpl striker. His link up players, and technical abilities are surperb, he's just like a wayne rooney at 24. He understands his wide men very well, i even doubt madrid will let him go.!

if u r expecting to buy Kane at a later season because u need evidence of his game play, u should also expect a rise in his price from 40m to something above 50m


...... He will be overpriced just as elamps said.

Comparing Carroll and Kane with regards to their respective rookie form,
.... Carroll was just nodding to score due to his height
..... Kane was killing defenders one on one...... The guy is good no doubt
Carroll wasn't just "nodding" to score, he was a menace - unleashing thunderbolts from outside the area too, good hold up play with back to goal, 90% fit, pace, agility you name it. his drawback was not being much of a dribbler but the English are not known to bother with such skill.

ultimately he proved to be a fluke when he 'moved up'. we can look back & say perhaps injuries didn't help his cause, or he made the 'step up' too early, or he made the wrong choice but that's past tense.

if you are advising LvG to pay £45m for Kane today, what happens IF he is another Carroll? this is not the type of fee you pay for a "prospect" & I don't care if he scored 1000 goals cool

Rooney can play better as the CF in the 4-3-3 with flying wingers as long as the front three interchanges with relative ease.

however, he has to buckle up. if LvG can strip PK duties from RvP & Rooney, he may just be more ruthless from next season.

I saw a clip of him recently for about 75mins & I have the same impression. it may be a small sample but his main style was on the shoulder of the last defender & sneaking in behind. I'm not saying its an easy skill but ...

good points there tho
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 7:08pm On May 15, 2015
Rooney is out, same for Shaw. di Maria, Rojo & RvP returns, Rafael returns to training. Pereira is out with Brazil U20

We have already played four matches without him this season and we only won one of them- Everton. Three EPL and one FA cut- I think Cambridge at away, which was a horrible performance.

Rooney also did not play the second half of our last match.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 9:51pm On May 15, 2015
Chrisley023, Benzema of this season has been clinical and a good technical player with pace and dribbling skills. He sometimes lift Madrid when Ronaldo is having an off day.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m):
Man United won 7 of their last 10 matches which helped them qualify for the Champions League. Phil Jones is the only player who played 100% part (100% win) win during this period, he was absent in the 3 matches lost.

If I were to follow the logic weedtaker is getting ready to try and bring down Rooney, then Phil Jones is our best player this season. RVP is the worst player because he was absent in the 7 wins while he participated in 2 (one full game and one sub) of the lost games.
















Ukwu!!! grin
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 10:44pm On May 15, 2015
with Carrick in the team, we would have had 10 wins straight. his absence upset the balance & caused a lot of reshuffle in other stable positions.

that's the reason we need one DM & one CM this summer.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 10:52pm On May 15, 2015
And where is Carrick?

His presence won us most games.

I think the coming of Chicha made him to up his game. That's the beauty of competition.

The ugly side of competition out weighs the good side. Ask Nani and Tevez. Even our strikers now, they are playing with fear and nervousness knowing very good alternative are in the team.

If we didnt buy Berbatov, Tevez would have settled in United. Nani usually played well when Valencia was injured. The coming of Young was the peak of pressure for Nani. He like to be free to take risks, make mistakes and try again doing the unthinkable tricks.

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by weedtaker: 9:06am On May 16, 2015
To me jones is the best CB in europe under the age of 23, he just needs to be injury free and find a suitable partner that he'll understand very well, pique individually isn't that good, but his understanding with mescharano make's the barca defence hard 4 opponents to penetrate, i think a phil jones and matts hummels pair will be splendid, maybe even Marcos Rojo, i like his "NO-NONSEnSE" attitude. Nd we can get khedira 4 free dis summer, so getting both khedira 4 free and gundogan 4 mayb 25mil won't be bad business.. A natural DM and a Deep lying Playmaker.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 9:09am On May 16, 2015
I don't get why Masherano will be so relaxed playing CB in Barca

Manchester United are considering signing Roma pair
Miralem Pjanic, 25, and Radja Nainggolan, 27, for a
combined fee of £66m.

United have ended their interest in Southampton
defender Nathaniel Clyne, 24, who is set to sign a new
deal with the Saints.

Mascherano will spoil Barca's tiki taka.

miralem pjanic is one player I like so much
Him coming to slug it out with herrera and the likes for a place won't be a bad idea

Nainggolan would make a decent dm.
I dunno about his passing but I do know he is a tough tackler



And if the danilo guy Madrid signed from porto is going to unsettle carvajal, we should absolutely consider him
