?
Have I missed something? The only Chileans we should be aiming for are Sanchez and Vidal.
I like him. Not for starting every game but as backup.
We already have enough dross never mind adding to it. Van Gaal has to find buyers for Young, Anderson, Cleverley, Fellaini and Buttner. Fletcher also will never be the same. So our summer signings shouldn't be back ups. We should be signing players who'd get in our starting eleven and that for me is about four to five players.
Obviously all those players I listed won't go. I can see Fellaini staying as nobody would be silly enough to pay £15m and his wages.
Medel didn't even stand out for Cardiff. Chile had a forest defender and another player whose team were relegated. But I don't think most these players can transform this level to their club. Even Sanchez has had problems at Barca.
He's not dross, and I'd play him in midfield rather than defence. He's better than most of the midfielders currently at the club.
Whatever problems Sanchez had at Barca, he scored 19 league goals last season.

Didn't help that he played in a team that after Mackay went, had zero focus or stability within it, so it's hard to really judge what he would be like within a decently run team... Medel also did pretty well in his years at Seville, so he can't be a rubbish player? Especially compared to the likes of Cleverley...
And why is Sanchez and his 19 goals in La Liga mean nothing just because of his problems of not being in the first team is daft, United would do well to get him...

According to transfer speculation I've read in papers, about 9 teams were in for him, including some from the Bundesliga.

Vanishing spray will not be introduced into the Premier League next season despite it being considered a success at the 2014 Fifa World Cup in Brazil.
The new initiative marks out where a free-kick should be taken from and where the defensive wall must stand, aiming to prevent players cheating.
It will be used in the Champions League from next season.

I don't understand why we wouldn't do it. What are they negatives to it? What reason would u give in not choosing to use it?

Wages would no doubt be the issue for a lot of clubs, especially for someone Lescott's age...

Probably need to watch more games then. It happens, and the spray stops it from happening.
