Just a quick post about the possibility of Gareth Bale coming to Man Utd.

A few people have said that because of the way we play it might not be a great signing and that LVG's philosophy would stifle his natural ability.

And although I do agree that Bale's style of play is probably more suited to a Fergie counter-attacking system then an LVG possession game. You can't deny that other teams and defenders will still be scared to death of him. Even on a bad day when he does nothing right, just being on the pitch will open up space for other players as there'll always be at least 2 men marking him.

And yes as always there are other areas of the pitch that need addressing like DM, CB and RB but at the same time we don't have a superstar winger at the club anymore. Growing up, it was always about Ryan Giggs, Beckham and Ronaldo for me and even with Depay coming in, he won't be at that level for a few years.

For me and for that reason, I think we need Gareth Bale as much as any other position. We need that fear again. Young doesn't have it, Fellaini doesn't have it, not even Rooney or Van Persie has it any more. Bale does.

Its a good point Joe, but isn't ADM meant to be exactly what you expect Bale to be?

Bale is far more physical and suited the BPL than Di Maria beast

Ryan giggs wasn't the biggest and he dealt with the physical side.

But I am a believer that if di maria stays we will see much better performances next season

Beast, yeah I know what you mean, that's what he was intended for but I always thought ADM was a harder working Nani even when he played for Madrid. Occasionally looks a world beater but can also look lost.

I might be completely wrong and maybe he'll become the 60m man we hoped he would be but for me because of his light frame he needs players like Bale around him to take the attention away and leave gaps so that he can burst through.

Physicality isn't Di Maria's problem it's his attitude and confidence since injury, the break in and being made to play up front. He could come good but who here would honestly say no to Bale coming in at his expense.

I think bale would be an expensive mistake. His best position is clearly central attacking midfield behind the striker, which Rooney, mata and even Herrera can play. If we spend 60+ million on bale we'll still be short a right winger bale has proved at Real Madrid that he's completely uncomfortable playing RW. Let's focus on the positions we genuinely need strengthening instead of throwing cash at another Hollywood signing we don't need.

I think, Bale on the left, which is his best position, and Di Maria on the right, which is probably his best position for such a physical league, would scare teams to death. Depay can then compete or rotate for those positions, and he would provide a real threat off the bench, and would be a superb player to come in in case of injuries Then Rooney and Van Persie can compete for the centre forward spot, with Mata in the attacking midfield role with Strootman and Herrera behind him in a central midfield 2 for games against weaker teams and games at home, or Strootman, Herrera, and either Carrick or Fellaini in a midfield 3 for games against the better teams and tough away games. Probably Strootman, Herrera, and Carrick for Champions League matches and games against the likes of City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool and Everton, and Fellaini in for matches against big physical sides like West Ham, West Brom, Stoke, and the like.

that to me would b a well balanced attack, great pace on the wings and ability to shoot from distance combined with mata's guile and through balls. i'd include Wilson as competition for rooney/rvp.

id prefer carvalho to strootman, more of a physical presence, younger and hasn't just had 2 bad injuries.

sadly I doubt that is the style of play LVG is aiming for. Also whilst I expect ADM to perform better on the right with a run of games and a more stable team i'd swap him for Isco in a heartbeat
