Our squad

[RichC]

The squad is pish poor. Even the first 11 is bad. How has it got to a stage where citeh, manure, arsenal, chelski and the yids have much better sides?

by not making a profit in the last two summer transfer windows - United have spent big over the years as have Chelsea - financially we'ver just not been able to keep up.

I don't agree with that, the squad needs more quality for sure but we can put out a first XI with good players, the problem is how they are set up and managed.

Reina, Johnson, Carra, Skrtel, Soto, Lucas, Gerrard, Meireles, Cole, Kuyt and Torres are players that we can trust IMO, I put Johnson in there as I feel he is still a good player, he is just missing those confidence boosting wins the others are getting now.

Then we have players who can do a good job as back up and will only get better in Kelly, Shelvey, Ngog, Pacheco and even Spearing to some extent.

I agree with those who said that we need a wide player, left back, striker and quality centre half.

All that said, I wonder if Jova and Poulsen could still come good, they were thrust in an unbalanced and unfamiliar team with no direction or confidence under a new manager in a new league, maybe they will find their feet in the next couple of months.
