As I say, I'd give him one more season to prove himself. Agree about Anderson, hardly ever plays and when he does he doesn't do a lot.

Squad player at best for me. Just does very little.

He's no Scholes that's for certain. Who do you want us to sign in midfield, if not Fellaini?

I'd like a ballwinner and a playmaker. The former I'm not so sure. Strootman has been heavily, heavily linked but I haven't seen a whole lot of him. Saw him a bit at the weekend and had some nice touches, set up a nice move but I obviously can't base it on that.
In terms of a playmaker. The dream is Ilkay Gundogan ()at Dortmund. Christian Eriksen is leaving Ajax this summer, in the last year of his deal so will be going cheaper than you'd expect for someone with his talent. Also a fan of Joao Moutinho. I'd be chuffed with any of those three, especially the first two.

Eriksen would bring goals from midfield, he would be an exiting player to have. Gungogan played well against Real and from what I've seen looks a very good player too, 22 years old as well - room for development. The board will be tempted to go for the cheaper option and Moyes doesn't seem the type to disagree with that.

Yeah, Gundogan was absolute class. Plays great every time I see him. 22 years of age, plays like someone who's been running midfields for ten years.

Eriksen would be a bargain. If we don't even go for him then smfh.
