In reply to Mark. Yes. I do really hope that Mcnair will be given more chances to prove himself. As what I know, he has the potential to be one of the greatest. Same goes to Mensah and Jackson, great potential.

The truth is dat, man u don’t have leadership at the back….smailling, Jones, Damian, shaw are of the same age. Need defender like Bonucci to bring experience and leadership as the case of vidic, Ferdinand and evra.

it is true that it will be a gamble to play with blind, as we had seen during the previous season. He has not been able to take control of situation and ball. Today we need defenders to be using their head and also to be visionaries, which is not so with blind. Valencia is a good winger, it would be meaningless to force him to continue to be used such a way. Jose has to put Bailly from day one to get him into the art of defending. We need to have one experienced defender additionally, in the case of injury to smalling. Luke Shaw has shown glimpses of his brilliance. But in Jose’s language, he has to prove himself. Younger defenders who have played some matches last season have to mature to certain level before being put into business. We need speed with a cool head, if UTD wants to truly tell other teams something.

Regarding Blind he was converted to CB. I consider him a midfielder as you will note with his forage upfront and passing accuracy. Yes we need a RB just that we have youngsters to groom; Fousuh, McNair, etc but can do with Valencia. I agree not sure about Darmien if RB is infact his position.

I do feel like suffocating when see the club of my life loosing. De Gea, Smalling, Rojo, Valencia and Rooney are the key players to say. The team needs an aggressive striker like Griezman to join Martial and Zlatan. Hope this season gona be on our side, let’s live hoping!

Darmian isn’t even supposed to be at man utd. He’s a mediocre defender…we can do with valencia for a while as he has a good fitness record..I do agree with more defensive buys.

For the reasons previously discussed, we do need at least one more defender. This defender needs to be a seasoned Premier League defender, someone who can be relied on to slot in straight away and not someone foreign to the league. We could do a lot worse that Williams @ Swansea. He has the experience and smarts to slot in immediately and would definately be excellent cover as a shot tern option. We could then groom McNair for another year or so and then slot him in. Not an ideal scenario but not the worst either.

In reply to Jonathan Grosskopf. they won't be playing 3 at back but yeah they need a CB and Darmian is RB LB not CB agree with the assessment of the rest though

Blind is too slow and doesn’t have the ability to boss the opposition’s forwards i.e.. he’s not a Steve Bruce! Jones gets injured too often and so cannot be relied on. Smalling is good but not great and Bailly may yet prove to be an inspired buy – the jury is still out!In any case Darmian is not a defender and Valencias is basically a converted winger. So you might need anothe centre back in order to play 3 at the back and 2 roaming wing backs. What happens if Smalling gets injured?
