Strong rumours this morning linking us with a loan for Lewis Holtby. Would much rather loan Kagawa if possible - great competition for Mirallas and Peanut. With Besic and Gibson as cover already, do we need Holtby? He'd be a squad player at Everton as he is at Spurs. Another CB needed too on the strength of yesterdays display - someone with a bit more energy! Micah Richards?

Kagawa is off back to Dortmund and isn't a winger. Number 10 role.

I reckon a centre half is a must now! Jags doesn't look fit to me . Distin getting on a bit and stones a bit raw yet . Oh ye and Alcaraz rubbish! Micah Richards is a good shout!

Please no more links to average midfielders . Please bk stump up some more cash for a quality centre half we seen to have forgotten how to defend

Its not a strong rumour mate its just paper talk or lazy journalisim as its better known as. One paper reported "there also could be interest from Everton" that's all it said.We are overloaded in midfield as it is so another midfield player is not a priority and especially one who can't get regular first team football imo. We should be looking to strengthen in the centre half department for me.

Holtby rumour has been reported in more than one newspaper but is probably just paper talk as we don't need him. Have seen Kagawa play on the left many times and looked a top player before coming to Man U - scored bags of goals in Germany. I agree though - CB should be a priority.

We simply do not need a player like Holtby.We have sufficent cover in midfield a dominatnt CB is what is required now.Jags looks completed drained after the world cup

Unless we desperately need cover in midfield areas because of the injuries to Barkley, Pienaar, etc., I just don't see the need for us to be spending what little money we have on someone like Holtby - even on loan - but, as always, I defer to RM's judgement.
I agree with many other posters that we urgently need adequate cover (replacements) for Jagielka and Distin in the squad. We have Stones, but he's still learning; we have Alcaraz, but he just hasn't been convincing; and we have the potential of Browning and Galloway, but imho they're just not ready yet for regular first-team football.
