The debate is getting a bit down the page now, so to start a fresh:

Sydney, who would you take out the team for Cavani? Rooney or Van Persie? The striker position isn't really a concern and it will be well overstocked anyway with Welbeck looking for games, Will Keane looking to develop, Januzaj will probably either up there or in Mata's spot, Zaha could flourish there.

If fit, nine times out of ten, Rooney and RVP start. None of Cavani, Rooney or RVP would accept starting from the bench on a regular basis and the best strikers are often made by a partnership that is gained by playing together regularly. Cavani would confuse matters up front.

You forgot wilson.

Cavani in - Rooney out

everyone's happy :)

Rooney out Cavani in, leaves more room for Kagawa and gets rid of this obsession of letting Rooney play deeper. 10 is covered by Mata, Kags and Adnan. Up front we'd have RVP, Cavani, Welbz and Wilson (hernadez will be leaving sadly) I loved Rooney up until 2010, since then he's been dead to me.

I wouldn't take either out personally as both are better than Cavani IMO

To be fair who actually cares what syd thinks or fresh or anyone for that matter if its your own view it will not change bo one can make you no matter what they said, its borderline childish to bicur about who got the right view if u ask people this or that how bout think and understand people have diffrent views show some respect for there view I read countless post I don't agree with or have a diffrent view no need to be so harsh to shoot people dwn

Welbeck out Cavani in. Nah just joking, no room for Cavani but Cavani IS better than Welbeck.

Jono, you can't just say that.
Rooney is one of the best players in our squad, probably the best after the matches against Inter, L.A and Roma.

That's a brilliant beard by the way Jono

I have made it perfectly clear down the page who I would move on to make room for Cavani.

For what it is worth my opinions on this are:
Van Gaal will build current team with Van Persie in mind, the tour has shown him how good Rooney is so I think they are nailed on to start in a 3512 formation.
When on form Cavanni is better than Wellbeck and at one stage I thought a front pairing of Cavanni and Rooney would scare most premiership defenders. That said Cavanni had an awful world cup and is probably suffering from being played out of position by PSG. The same would be the case for us.
With all that said and done, I can't justify the cost to bring him in when Wellbeck adds a different dimension to our game with his pace and I think Van Gaal would like to see how he can be developed.
There are far more pressing areas of the team to spend 60m on!

{Ed008's Note - Playing 3512 would just be cheating!

I'd happily move our Wayne on but I wouldn't sign Cavani. Over rated and over priced. Just my opinion of course


12.) 30 Jul 2014
Not sure I know how to get to the bottom of the page though Syd :/

I don't actually think Utd want Cavanni. I think we are stringing PSG along whilst we try and convince di Maria to sign for us. We know PSG need to sell to balance their books or UEFA will nail them under FFP. Let's hope it is brilliant brinkmanship by ed I might not be as useless as I seem woodywoodward.

Fresh, you do know that when I said "clueless" I meant you haven't got a clue what you are talking about regarding the subject. I didn't mean you were clueless in life, mentally challenged for example.

Ed, waybe we should try it with DDG playing as one of the 3 CB's. As long as he wears his keepers kit it would be allowed, wouldn't it?

Maybe we could sneak the extra on, 008!
