We already have quality in the position with Mata / Kagawa and if Herrara comes through there's absolutely no need for him. The original post was pointless.

He isn't an AM that's for sure.

Thank God

This is why we keep ya around Mick! Good for clearing out the thread :pac:

If I had to buy a midfielder from the PL for United it would not be Henderson. I would sooner have Matic, Yaya Toure, Fernadinho, or Ramsey.

I think the way Liverpool play suits Henderson, but as you can see from his two recent World Cup games, he's shíte.

Back to United,

Any news on Herrera? I would ask for any other deals but journalists haven't a notion!

Definitely not an attacking midfielder. If this was Football manager he'd be a CM!

Not a lot of England players can come out of that campaign with their head held high, so wouldn't necessarily blame Henderson for that.

So he's a CM that provides attacking qualities then?

Every CM is expected to do some attacking from time to time, doesn't make them an AM

Same can be said for defending.

Gallas was worth more than that at the time, he was a beast for a while.

'Twas a joke given he turned into a bit of a header

Can people not refrain themselves from commenting on players that they obviously have no clue about no?

Herrera is not an attacking midfielder in the sence that he doesn't play behind the striker or out on the wing like Mata or Kagawa. He is central midfielder who's primary role is retaining possesion and creating play from the middle for the forward players, so he would be ya know...the attacking part of the central midfield in beside somebody like Fletcher who would be a holding midfielder, should we explain what that is as well?

A fit Walcott I'd definitely take, Cahill is an upgrade on what we have also. Dunno about Milner though, hardy worker and all but we have enough sub par wingers.

Milner never was a winger tbh, he had his best season at Villa at cm

Pyjamarama · 25-06-2014 12:25PM

Henderson would provide the legs to allow Carrick to still be effective, he is in no way a cam. He's basically like a poor mans Vidal (not in the same class tho). Vidal would be the perfect player for utd. Henderson wouldn't be that level but he would improve the midfield. Doesn't meB he's better or as good as the likes of yaya, Ramsey etc. the statement wasn't that united should sign him but whether he would improve the midfield. I think it's very tough to argue he wouldn't tbh.

By out I meant out of the conversation. Why should I leave the thread of the team I support?

He seems to do a decent amount of work off the ball from what I've seen of him. Himself and DeJong wouldn't be a glamorous pairing, but they'd certainly get the job done against most sides.

Herrera played as a number 10 quite often last season.

Soldie · 25-06-2014 12:28PM

I don't think Daley Blind is fast enough to play left-back, but he'd be a good addition to our midfield. Tenacious ball-winner and he's at a good age.

Rayne Wooney · 25-06-2014 12:30PM

Herrera will give us that quick transition to attack we've been badly missing, no more Cleverley and Carrick taking an age letting the other team get back in shape then passing it out to the wing scuppering a counter attack hopefully

He's a midfielder first and foremost. He just so happens to be able to cover LB.

Henderson is footballs own forrest gump - he'll run all day but is brainless. Unless there was a player beside him to tell him what to do then the games bypass him

I assure you he won't be playing there for Utd , Kagawa can play CM as well but it's not his best or natural position..

I think that's a little harsh. He was excellent when Gerrard was out. His biggest weakness is that I think he lacks the confidence to take a game and dictate it and is happier in a back seat role.

Professional Griefer · 25-06-2014 12:42PM

Herrera news shortly, apparently.
