4 days til the season starts should be looking forward to it more than I am but still feel our transfer dealings have been some what average . Ok we've signed some very good players but as majority on here know no Cb no striker and as stands no replacement for di Maria . Lvg has had a whole year to look at this squad and see where it needs improving he can't think Jones evans and others are man utd class . he's had a whole season to scout for new recruitments and yet we're going into the season with one striker and no center back of any real quality . I think it's very poor on his behalf . Ok he may of wanted Ramos didn't get him but surely must have other alternatives. Uncertainty with de gea this season we should of had settled squad transfers done early like Depay was . What I'm hoping doesn't happen is we win our first three games comfortably and Lvg thinks our squad is good enough to challenge and nobody else is signed . Long season ahead with lots of games and we haven't really got one Natural Goalscorer .Again looking forward to season but not as much as should be . Sorry negative attitude but surely others must be feeling similar .

Nope, not really. We have made some great signings and I imagine we have not finished yet. It's not as simple as slapping down the money and getting who you want. Clubs don't want to sell, believe it or not, not every player wants to play for us.
I agree on the CB issue, our jumping around form 1 to another isn't great but I expect we will sign one before the window shuts. It's going to be a roller coaster, enjoy it

Not really I feel like a kid at xmas. Defence wasnt a major issue last season however it does need strengthening, it was the rb position where a lot of mistakes were made. All credit to tony v for puttin a shift in, but we now have an international rb at our disposal. i'm confident we will land Pedro and he will add another attacking option along with Memphis. With Mata Pedro and Memphis they can all interchange behind Rooney and cause a lot of problems. Our Midfield is now the strongest its been for years and that benefits the defence even further. Shaw is like a new signing and we have a couple of very exciting youngsters ready to go! Roll on Saturday because I for one can't wait!!!

I don't disagree with signings we've made but surely we should of been in a more settled postion than we are now within the squad . I hope I'm wrong I really do but I don't think that's a Prem league winning team and miles away from being a Cl winning team . Can you see us finishing above chelsea arsenal and city . IMO no we may cut the gap from last year . Lewandoski agent said he may be available if offer came in for £35-40 mil . Why hesitate stump the money up. If that's a no go zone then try other avenues but don't tell me we have exhausted all possible options . Rooney is a great player but not a natural finisher nor is Depay or januzzi etc . Most of our business should of been completed by now instead issues with spine of our team virtually goalkeeper, cb and missing striker . Not the best way to start a season .

04 Aug 2015 20:09:48
I'm not confident without a CB or striker either. We've addressed midfield but anyone who's saying defence isn't such an issue because we didn't concede that much last year are in dream land. De gea was incredible and without him wouldn't of got near 4th spot. I feel our main issue will be braking teams down as scoring again like last year, and not convinced we will score a lot with what we have. Rooney isn't enough for me.

I actually agree with you to a point. It is disappointing we still need to resolve the key positions in the team only days before the season plus we also have a critical qualifier very shortly too. I too have campaigned for Lewandowski and if we buy Pedro then we are still short on threat up front, so if Pedro arrives I hope for the Pole as well.
I think signings will come in because as things stand we are still nowhere near a challenger for the title, that would take several major signings and an amazing feat from LvG to stick it all together. There is still time so let's keep calm , however lose several games and that will not help us at all in trying to attract players.

04 Aug 2015 20:42:39
Dont want us to lose any games Red Man but I also don't want it to be considered that if we win our games that we have capable squad of competing for silverware. We need strengthing still and I hope it's all happening behind closed doors .

kloop will sort it out next summer

{Ed025's Note - klopp would be far better jred.. :)

04 Aug 2015 20:56:52
Klopp was my first choice last summer and I remain hopeful on him being our manager at some point. There are good alternatives as well but for now LvG is doing the right things however needs to cement the correct playing style

04 Aug 2015 20:59:38
ha , yer him to

04 Aug 2015 20:59:58
I think we've made great signings so far. My only worry is how we're going to be set up.

i honestly don't think lvg will be the manager next season .
at the moment i think 4th place looks our best bet ,
and with the money lvg has spent that won't be enough.
we still don't know our best 11 infact not even our best back 4 , midfield or forward line .
im not even sure we have a settled formation .

im far from convinced we are going to spend big on a striker and if depay doesn't hit the ground running our forward line looks a bit thin.

not keen on a cm with carrick and schwieny , which is to slow and which i think lvg may play.
and blind a cb must be a joke

We have made good signings but we now need great ones if we really have ambition

04 Aug 2015 21:32:30
Ha ha Jred , that made me laugh. Considering changing my user name to 'I am Kloop' now!

i would agree i think we have bought quite well

04 Aug 2015 21:46:05
I think we're toothless in attack. Really do. We were so easy to defend against last season. Couldn't break teams down. Was all so static and no movement. We really need a top cf

04 Aug 2015 21:47:09

Actually I don't disagree with most of what you say there. I would add that Pedro is a good player but will not propel us into the top three on his own as some seem to think. I also agree on Depay, too much pressure on him to deliver. I also agree that Carrick and BS is not the right combination, Schneiderlein must play with one of them plus Herrera giving licence to three to attack. Blind should not be at CB for our first game.
We may be aiming high but if they don't succeed in bringing those top players in we could be punished for starting the season like that. LvG may start to feel the pressure then. He has done the right things so far but now Woodward needs to step up

04 Aug 2015 21:54:47
Bought quite well . If barca cheksea City madrid were to sign the players we have just signed we'd all be laughing at them . Yes they are an improvement from last years players we had . Vidal went to bayern for just over 20 mil who would you prefer vidal or schweinstger because I know i'd prefer vidal . Could of went in for Cech instead of letting De Gea saga drag on. Suddenly if then two players alone signed they i'd be feeling more confident of Cech behind the back four with a Vidal bossing the midfield with Scherderlin . I find it hard to believe all the top targets we have gone for don't want to join us . And the quality we could and should be getting should be better than what we've brought in so far .

i think herrera will be pushed out.
dapay will play the 10 role and carrick and 2 sch will fight for the 2 in cm.
not sure you can blame woodward we have spent the best part of 300mill in 12 month.
lvg seems to of gone with rooney as a striker if that's the case he won't want another big name , i still think we will buy a back up striker.
for me lvg is going to play rooney as the main striker with dapay as the 10.
or else pre season was a waste of time , i'm also far from convinced with mata out wide.

we have a good squad but we had a good squad last summer .
the 3 at the back was awful last year let's hope lvg doesn't get it all wrong again this year

04 Aug 2015 22:43:02
Stevie, I agree I hope it will be a variation of 433, my preference would be bs behind ah and Ms with Mata right depay left rooney cf. But he has been playing 4231 with depay as a' no ten' . The 2 issues I have with this is I would switch Mata with depay and secondly it only allows 2 of 4 very good midfielders a starting place. BS is one of the best match tempo setters in the world and lvg recognises this, once he understands the epl he will start to dictate matches from that deep lying role much like scholes did or pirlo did albeit in a different way, for the first time on years we have a genuine WC midfielder and he will start IMO if we surround him with the pace power, technique, and energy of ah, Ms, mf,and rotate him with Carrick is the best use of our squad IMO.
