Not writing him off as he's clearly talented, just saying that there are some real unknowns with him as he wasn't in great form last year and has had a really bad injury.
How stupid are Manu?

I agree with that but there's a risk with every single transfer in football. I'm glad we've got him on loan with option to buy.
As far as I heard he hadn't prior to leaving the Madrid embassy where he was applying to got to the Argentina team. At least you'll get to see him play against Germany
Re Blind, is he really a centre half? He looks a bit on the small side for that. If van Gaal sticks with 3 at the back you'd imagine it would be Rojo on the left of Jones/Evans or Smalling.

Blind is primarily a defensive midfielder. But he can also play CB and LB. We've bought him to sit in front of the defence, something we've been lacking for years.
But if needed, he can come in and do a decent job at CB.

I've read/heard about 3 different stories on it all today. It's a bit of a joke really - we always seem to make things complicated. Liverpool, Chelsea and City just buy players with ease and they're ready to play! But when we throw cash about, we still can't get it right
Where would that leave Herrera? Isn't he a holding midfielder too?

Don't know where you read that - he's on less than Rooney. £246 million per week. Isn't Fat Man on £300m per week?
How will they react? I don't know, no-one does. Chelsea and Man City seem to do ok when they splash the cash on big names though, we should be alright.

Herrera is primarily a box-to-box CM, a "number 8", so no. He can also play a number 6 though (holding) and also a number 10 (behind the strikers) which is where he spent a lot of last season at Bilbao.

What are your thoughts on blind? Hes never played centre back as far as I know (could be wrong) but could probably slot in on the left of a back 3.
However he seems so lightweight to play there and lacks pace. Defensive mid looks tailor made for him on the continent but here hes up against some tough lads from other teams who could steamroller him.
Looks to me like a left back but shaws there?

Mate, all I see is this: Hummels did not want to go to United; Carvalho did not want to go to United. Don't forget also that Muller and Reus are reported not wanting to go to United.
*forgot to add, Di Maria did not want to go to United
