But united will not be able to replace scholes. Thats the worry. Carrick is no where near the class of scholes
I honestly cant think of another midfielder in the world who you could guarantee would come in and do as good a job as scholes, such is the premiership. Look at Veron a few years ago. He was top drawer in serie a, came to the premership and was dog shit.
Aye we wont be able to replace Scholes... or Giggs for that matter. But they got maybe 2 seasons of playing at their best ability. Scholes is such a good playmaker because not only has he got the touch and vision, he has got that highly competitive edge that some players dont have in which if the opposition has the ball he will do whatever it takes to get it back, and is happy to also get physical.
With this purchase we are stronger position to play the attacking football we like.
VDS
Neville Ferdi Vidic Heinze(better defender then evra)
Hargraves
Scholes Carrick
Ronaldo Giggs
Rooney
In my opinion that the team and formation based on current players in the team which will prove to be a strong all round team and still highly focused on the attacking football that suits them best.
Hargraves can protect the defence well leaving 5 players more freedom of attack. Currently we dont have that midfielder that can protect the back line which gives some problems, especially when Ronaldo doesnt track back(his biggest weakness)
I believe that Fergi only needs to purchase one more world class attacker to fit into the forward 3. Still not a big fan of Saha and think Rossi needs maybe 1 more season before he is ready, though hopefully we start giving the lad the odd game next season against some 'lesser' teams and in cup competition to see what he can do over here. Talk about getting Owen and though he will suit a pacey attack Im not sure about his fitness and he is injury prone nowdays.
