6 question marks for next season
I know we still have a month of solid football left, before we are all put through cold turkey, but I am already looking forward to next season and see 6 areas of Manchester uniited’s squad that need to be addressed.
?1 – Strikers
Do we want Tevez and does he still want us? I don’t think he’s going to be here next season, so who will replace him? Villa, Eto’o, Benzema?
Do we even need a replacement? Can Macheda, Welbeck and Campbell fill the gap Tevez might leave behind?
?2 - Left wing
Nani. Talented, but is often found wanting. Are we going to rest our hopes on his small shoulders or prevail with Park. Is Ribery a realistic target and is he the answer?
?3 Central Midfield
We have discussed Owen Hargreaves at length and I believe that when he comes back, he can be our midfield boss, but we seem to lack an attacking midfielder. Someone, who can bring the ball forward and pick a lovely pass to release a striker. A Fabregas so to speak. Anderson might become that sort of player, but should we sign someone else in the meantime.
?4 - Central Defence
The question has been posed on the forum before.
Do we keep the status quo and allow O’Shea and Brown to fill in whenever injuries strike or do we sign someone to have more cover.
What about Catchart and Chester?
?5 – Goalkeeper
Probably my main concern besides the left wing position.
VDS has been very good for most of the season, but he has had some horror shows as well over the last two season and the shut-out record was more the result of a formidable defence, IMO.
He’s also turning 39.
Should he be our main custodian or should Fergie hand the gloves to Ben Foster?
Should Fergie just sign a long-term replacement and minimize the risk? Kuszczak might be leaving too. Who will be the third keeper?
?6 – Captain
I suppose this depends on whether Gary Neville is still here next season, but I think Rio Ferdinand should be the club captain next season with Hargreaves the vice captain.
What about you?
