simplythebest 11,453 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I know the Pedro deal isn't done. I was posting it as a sort of "possible" line up.I agree on Di Maria though. A player is never going to be as effective as he can be if he doesn't want to be there and I'm not sure Di Maria ever did.On the subject of Man Utd, I'm surprised there hasn't been more interest in Hernandez. I know he's injured just now, but I think he would be a really good signing for a lot of teams with Spurs being the most obvious one.Sounds quite close with Pedro anyway, was hoping he'd end up at Chelsea but that seems to have died. Agree about Hernandez, always thought he's quite underrated, even at Real Madrid I think he could have made more of an impact with more starting time Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creampuff 22,628 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Di Maria is quality but it never looked like it was going to work out for him at Man Utd.With Pedro, Mata & Depay playing behind Rooney they will still be really strong although you have to question their strength in depth now that him and RVP have both gone.With Pedro and Depay for RVP and DiMaria; has their depth position really changed?

BlueSuedeSambas 53,789 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 With Pedro and Depay for RVP and DiMaria; has their depth position really changed?They've strengthed in midfield and their potential first choice front four is strong, but when you start looking at their bench there really isn't much there which isn't good when they will be expected to push on now and challenge for the title again while also having champions league to contend with.Just a few weeks ago they had Rooney, Falcao, RVP, Di Maria & Mata in their squad with Depay on the way too. It's probably a bit bloated, but it's the sort of depth you need to compete on multiple fronts.As things stand they have Rooney, Depay, Mata & Pedro possibly on the way which leaves them marginally worse off (even if Di Maria & Falcao never found their best form) in terms of options and depth IMO.Guys like Ashley Young & Januzaj are decent enough players who can fill in but they aren't exactly going to rip up any trees are they?If they get Pedro I think they still need another forward because LVG doesn't seem to fancy Hernandez and the only other option is Wilson.

simplythebest 11,453 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Bizarre. Chelsea hardly strengthening from last season's title winning team. Think Jose has said a few times he's only really buying to replace players that have left. Falcao for Drogba, Begovic for Cech, probably Rahman for Luis.In Stones case I think it's looking at a long term successor to Terry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
