Decline? Valencia Replacing Ronaldo, Young Replacing…

After losing the last real super star from the Premier League, this country’s press circled like vultures with their predictions of what would come of us. The exit of Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona, David Beckham, Roy Keane, Ruud van Nistelrooy, amongst others, didn’t bring about our decline, but the press were keen to believe that Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure meant that “the decline” had finally begun this time for real.

The idea of “decline” is raised time and again because of Liverpool FC. They dominated English football in the late 70s and throughout the 80s but then fell away once the back pass rule was introduced/Premier League years began. Because they went in to decline, going 21 years now without a league title, the assumption is the same must one day happen to United. Liverpool went in to decline after dominating, so United must too.

Of course, this is flawed logic. Thankfully, as much as reds may grumble on match days, United wielded their marketing muscle, bringing in a global fanbase and the riches that came with it. Liverpool, a far more successful club at the time, missed the boat, and have never caught up.

The introduction of the Glazers has made “a decline” more likely but their presence doesn’t mean we’re certainly doomed to 21+ years of mediocrity.

Regardless, with the £80m transfer money from Ronaldo, the manager went out shopping. Just like Michael Carrick was viewed as a disappointing replacement for Keane, far lower down on the list of options that included the likes of Gattuso, Essien or Ballack, Antonio Valencia was hardly the name on everyone’s lips for the Ronaldo replacement before the deal had been confirmed.

Whilst everyone could see that he, along with Wilson Palacios, was too good for Wigan, there probably weren’t too many United fans who thought he was good enough for our club. The press made lazy comparisons between Ronaldo’s amazing scoring record with Valencia’s. In 89 games with the pie eaters, he had managed just 7 goals, never scoring more than 3 in a season in all competitions. Ouch. Whilst it was clear that we weren’t in the market to find a winger who scored the goals Ronaldo did, mainly because he was The Best Player In The World and often played up front, rather than just on the right, we probably thought we were looking for someone who had shown more promise in front of goal.

Still, we’d seen how Valencia had bombed down our right wing at Old Trafford that season, giving John O’Shea a run for his money, so there was some hope amongst the fanbase. There was nothing but sneers and mockery from the media and rival fans.

At the end of his first season, there wasn’t anyone questioning whether he was a “Manchester United player” or not. You’ll be hard pushed to find many players in Sir Alex’s reign who have had a better début season. Not just fast and keen to take players on, but incredibly strong and useful defensively.

He scored 8 goals and assisted 9 during that season and whilst this wasn’t a replacement for Ronaldo, he helped Rooney become that replacement. The two just seemed to click.

Sadly, Valencia’s second season hasn’t gone as well, only because of the nasty injury he suffered so early on. As he hit the deck against Rangers and was stretchered off, you feared for his season, for his career even. But a few months later, he was back in action, playing well and giving us another option. He came back at a vital time and helped carry us over the finish line for the 19th title.

He didn’t cover himself in glory against Barcelona in the final, I suppose none of our players did, but ahead of kick-off, he was one of the players you knew without any doubt was going to be in the line-up, which is a rarity for any of our midfielders this season.

Can you imagine if in Rome, watching our lads picking up their losers medals, someone told you Ronaldo would be off and Wigan’s Valencia would replace him in our next final in two years time? You’d laugh your arse off. There was no way he was good enough. Shows how much we know.

It looks beyond doubt that Ashley Young will be signing for Manchester United sooner rather than later, and despite him having a bigger name for himself than Valencia did, the general reaction is fairly underwhelming.

In Young’s last four years, he has scored at least 13 goals per season (although some of these are penalties). He had 11 assists this season (only bettered by Fabregas, Drogba and Nani), last season it was 10, the season before that it was 9, and before that, 17. Is that the sign of a player who is failing to reach the standards set in 2008? Or is it a player with bags of ability who has been stuck in an average team?

He isn’t a young lad any more though, turning 26-years-old next month, but that doesn’t mean he has to be the finished article either. Playing with the champions, could that amazing 2007-2008 form be replicated? He’s not short of confidence and with the greatest manager working his magic, could we have someone really special on our hands?

Young wouldn’t be my first choice but he’s not an awful option for us to have. Valencia wasn’t anyone’s first choice either but I imagine he would in the first choice XI for all of us now. If Valencia can step up a gear and make us a better team, there’s no reason why Young can’t too. Watch this space.

    He will be quite versatile so a good addition however I’d really like to see world world class. Spend some money!

  2. matt says:

    hope you’re wrong about young, scott.

    not a fan…he’s not terrible in the slightest but i’d rather us sign a true attacking mid. if nani can barely get a game why would we need him?

  3. The Fly says:

    cannot tell you how much i want liverpool to sign ashley young. he is nowhere near good enough,insanely overrated.

  4. Colbert says:

    Not the player I want, but I have to trust Fergie. We have to strengthen our midfield, but the likes of Young are not even as good as the players we already have. I hope Fergie has another one of his masterplans thought out.

    Young’s stats looks decent but you have to remember he takes every set-piece.

  5. Giggsy's Lawyer says:

    My biggest problem with Young is he goes to ground more than Nani. I’ve said this before, but having them both on at the same time falling all over the place would be embarrassing. He does have talent though, so perhaps Old Trafford would be the stage for him to shine – ala Dwight Yorke – another Villa player I don’t think many of us were too excited about buying at the time.

  6. bchilds says:

    I won’t be hoping Young signs are us, not what we need in my opinion but the boss knows best.

  7. slim says:

    The exact topic some of us were discussing earlier today. Like you say we’ll watch the space. I’m still not convinced he’s the way forward though. Thats why i’m just a mere supporter and SAF’s the manager i reckon

  8. zigoo says:

    the thing with young is i dont see where hes going to play??

    is he gonna play instead of nani?on the left?or in place of valencia?
    to be honest both valencia and nani are much better than young…in fact nani is 2wice the player he is…

    i cnt see him playin centrally behind rooney and chicho to the bench…no way of tht…so he must b goin to the bench…which at 15 mill is quite overpriced…..i dnt even think we need another winger,unless hes left footed….we just need a replacement for scholes and another mid…and a gk obv….

    ahh well we will see what happens

  9. RedLife says:

    I have always liked the idea of Young joining. I hope he does. Nice article.

  10. Dave Malaysia says:

    @scan74: me take yr word for it , for now! hehe

    @Kings : Just send pic for Cedars , Meg in nice romantic post,say did not know she had nice boobies! hehe

    @smartalex : did u see my helpful friends pic?

  11. smartalex says:

    Getting the player you want, and wanting the player you get are poles apart.
    Coinciding these is beyond the understanding of most.
    In Sir Alex (and staff) we trust.

    Valencia has taken the EPL by storm at United. Hernandez and Owen are extreme examples of unexpected success. It is most likely that we will chose our new players well.

  12. Clint-IamYourPapii says:

    Does Scotty Too Hotty Know Something we Don’t ? :lol:

    Objectively I think He is a Decent Winger with Ok Deliveries, Good Set Piece taker and Very Good Behind a striker which where I prefer him.

    At 25 Turning 26 next Month, I’d only like him to be signed if He Steps up for United Massively & Costs us at Most £15 Mill anything else is Just Extortion.

    I dont see how he would improve us Unless he is signed to replace a winger (not giggs). But I trust Fergie with who he signs *cough Djemba Djemba Kleberson cough* :lol:

  13. NigeL K says:

    Not really a signing I want. He has talent, but there are plenty of other options out there that have talent and would cost us about the same as Young. Look at Eden Hazard, Alexis Sanchez, Marko Marin, etc. All those have loads of talent and would be a better option than Young.

  14. Fred says:

    Agree with the post. This is what I was saying the other day, though obviously not in so many worlds. Ashley Young would be a useful acquisition for United and will certainly be elevated to new levels, just like every player who comes here is.

  15. smartalex says:

    Dave, you are so cross-eyed from those pics that you missed your post!

  16. CedarsDevil says:

    Papii

    Any new links of the sorts?

  17. matt says:

    smartalex: owen is an example of extreme success?

    oh man..

  18. RedLife says:

    Look at this way. Can he be any worse than Obertan? Not even Obertan knows what his feet are up to, at Young has some idea and is as quick.

  19. GAZZARO says:

    Valencia is, actually, nowhere near a so-called Top Class Winger. Of course, he’s a better player since he joined us. However, we prefer a real top class player who can perform well in a big game.

    Even though Valencia is not a skillful player, his pace is terrific. However, when it comes to big game like playing against top teams, his pace is more or less useless. WHY?? Because top sides like Chelsea, Arsenal, etc. do have quick and skillful left back (Ashley Cole, Clichy, etc.) In the UCL final game, Valencia is the worst player, along with Chicharito, on the pitch. (If you don’t believe, you can go back and have a look at Valencia’s performance against all top sides again).

    Valencia can play well against average sides like Everton, Bolton, Sunderland but he is simply NOT a top class player. For Ashley Young, I just hope that we will not sign him and go for a better option really.

  20. Zelh says:

    GAZZARO – Ah that must be the reason why Tony V rips cashley apart in every fuckin game.

  21. Fred says:

    Time for a YouTube compilation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj2_ybmZ6Nk

  22. Zelh says:

    Gazzaro – what a tool you are.

  23. T4M says:

    gOOD STUFF SCOTT!

  24. slim says:

    @GAZZARO

    how about going back to have a look and watching Valencia ripping A.Cole and Clichy a new one, wasn’t that long ago

  25. T4M says:

    United have been in decline for about 20 years according to the experts both media and fans alike

  26. Clint-IamYourPapii says:

    Cedars ….Hold on ….I’ll get something for you boys before the end of the night ;)

  27. CedarsDevil says:

    Top sides like Chelsea and Arsenal? Hahahaha

    Valencia raped Cole on more than one occasion last season! What a piss take

  28. smartalex says:

    matt, you misread my comment.

    I did not say “Owen is an example of extreme success”

    I said ” Hernandez and Owen are extreme examples of unexpected success”

    One was a young unknown unproven foreigner.
    The other was an aging, proven Premiership player.

    Extreme examples.

    Twit.

  29. slim says:

    Indeed does STR know something we don’t. I always believed SAF would go for another winger and it looks that way.Fingers crossed for the MF eh ?

  30. parryheid says:

    Just as well it’s Sir Alex bringing in players he thinks have what is required for positions he wants filled/covered as too many of the fans on here are really player snobs with their this or that player is beneath us/not good enough for us.

  31. swede says:

    Such a well written article this and it sums a lot of things up. United will probably not go for foreign star names but will find players that have played enough to fit into the style of Man United. Young will surely fit in well cause he knows the way to play in the Premier League and he will develop being around such great players at United. He will grow in confidence which most players do at United and he has been stuck at Villa where he could never improve but at United he will.

  32. Paul says:

    If united were to spend big on a winger I can only imagine ferries doing so on Sanchez.. I would be disappointed if we bought young.. Would rather take Charles n’zo to be honest.. Young very good but with Manila and Valencia, why. It seems like a stupid move unless nani or Valencia were to depart..

  33. Number Se7en says:

    What the fuck gazzarro ?

  34. Horace says:

    Keep hearing from people at united about how exciting this summer will be. I hope this is how it turns out, but to be honest young isn’t a player who would het me giddy looking forward to the start of the season. Same for Henderson.
    Sanchez, modric, bale (tho not likely) however would

  35. geneside says:

    the best point about having valencia in the side is he has a terrific physical presence,challenges the build up of the opposition but never falters with his tackles..never awfully misses the ball or gets heated up…he is a great player,i think united got the best out of him…he is one of the most consistent players in this current united side…

  36. Dave Malaysia says:

    Firstly, Every United Supporter should trust the Boss, Ferguson . He usually gets it right and as the records show in recent times its getting better with the much improved scouting network.

    The huge difference I would like to point out , is this : How often have u seen Chelsea,Madrid,City

    for example rush to sign someone because of the hype? A top player making all the rights sounds and moves, then turns up and dosent make the grade and starts crying for an escape???

    liverpool are now paying the price for rafa mistakes,they have players who are earning huge paychecks and not doing thier jobs. chelsea and city and madrid have dumped players after paying huge fees to sign them in the first place.

    Manchester United are very careful who they sign and have missed out on players because thier clubs demanded crazy money or the player himself was not so interested.

    United have said before and shown that when they start the process to sign someone ,, they usually get a clearer idea about the player . example ,when we tried for patrick kluivert, this dude made all kinds of demands the club politely declined and stepped away.

    Rio Ferdinand said a few times on how he believes Fergie actually analyzes the players character before signing , cos all the players he sign for example fit into the team nicely. no dramas ,no problems that cannot be handled.

    And many players agents like to use Manutd as a interested party during contract negotiations and trying to push for a move away.
    Just because we watch someone does not mean we goin to sign that player.

    Trust Fergie, if he goes for Young, it cud be hes that good and english or others reasons.

    By the way, Valencia is one of us,proven himself,very good player, not in the ronaldo mould but a powerful winger for us. AND THE CL finals , it was the formation and tactics that failed .

  37. Clint-IamYourPapii says:

    If anyone, get Barry “Bannan-a “

  38. DohaRed says:

    All I can say is Sir Alex is God. What the fuck do we know compared to him? Yes, he makes some mistakes, but don’t we all? Sir Alex make less than most of us. Personally I think who the fuck is Ashley Young? What has he ever done? Is he a shining star? Who the fuck is he? But who would have thought Sir Alex would have made Valencia into such a great player? If Sir Alex buys Ashley Young then that is Ok by me because I would trust Sir Alex with my cock. What more can I say.

  39. zigoo says:

    NANI IS TWICE THE PLAYER YOUNG IS AND VALENCIA IS BETTER THAN YOUNG TOO!

    sorry for the rant but i do not want to see this guy replace any of these

  40. Sir Shaggsy says:

    Not so much what we need as what we can afford.
    STR made the very sobbering point in a previous article that when we had Keane Beckham Giggs and Scholes in Midfield we spent BIG on Veron – Because we could.

    We need some Central Midfield quality not Ashley Young. He is an OK player and that is about it.
    Maybe he will shine with us – we better hope so because other teams are not stood still.

  41. CedarsDevil says:

    The biggest master stroke Sir Alex can pull off is signing Heskey, just ask my buddies MG and Costas…

    We could play him up top with Hernandez, whilst Rooney plays in the hole. We would then need to create another hole and play Gibbo in it…. Of course a third hole would be needed to have Carrick and Giggs

    Our defense might also need a hole to accommodate Evans and Vidic

    Bloody hell, just sign a hole!

  42. DohaRed says:

    @DaveMalaysia – fucking good post mate

  43. cp says:

    This kind of talk always surfaces after we have such a successful team that starts to part. One of my favourite memories ever was my neighbour having a rant at my dad after we sold ince, hughes, kanchelskis and we replaced them with ‘average’ players from the youth team. Ferguson knows what he’s doing, better than the fans and we should know our place watching, supporting and not complaining.

  44. saeed says:

    Good article.
    As stated, every time a big player goes, the media and experts are ready to write the obituary for Manchester United. Fortunately in SAF we have a manager who knows best.
    Before I make my point to just wanted to say at the beginning of this season when people were saying Chelsea, City, Arsenal and even Liverpool were going to win the Premiership, who would have thought MU would win the Prem relatively easy and be in Champs League Final?
    This is a team in progress, nowhere near complete and MU are there again. Yes Barcelona showed how football can and should be played, they are a completed team. Have no doubt this will make SAF even more determined to conquer Europe.
    My point, Ashley Young has potential as proven, but more important, he can play in various roles. As everyone knows this is something SAF has always preferred. A comment was made about Nani being on the bench, Nani is a confidence player and since the assault at Liverpool he isn’t been the same. Valencia who is my joint player of the season with Chicorito, was lost against Barcelona for many reasons. So if SAF brings Young, he will be a great addition to the team. A last thought, when is the ruling that every team has to have a certain amount of national players in their team? That’s Arsenal and City and Chelsea stuffed then…..

  45. james21 says:

    listen. Utd are a spent force. Fergie has lost it. We keep hearing it season after season But is it still not said whoever finishes above Utd Win the title. The ABU’s say it all the time. The glazers don’t even come into it we’re the only club in the Premier league that can fill a 75,000 seat stadium we’re the only Team in the world that still has SAF. He’ll never leave us until he knows 100% that he’s leaving a team capable of winning for many seasons.

    Valencia is a fantastic player who doesn’t need to over do it on the ball. He does his job and scores goals. He’s been out for most of the season, come next season he’ll be there for us when we need a simple ball into the box for Chicharito, Rooney, Berba or anyone else to smash into the goal.
    Valencia I definately salute you. 19 Times Rat Munchers.
    WE’LL NEVER DIE.

  46. smartalex says:

    Maybe Sir Alex overheard Giggs and Scholes singing in the shower, hammering out
    Alphaville’s hit “I wanna be Forever Young.”
    Maybe not. Just a thought. I’m fucking kidding, relax.
    Don’t do it. When you gotta step to it. Relax!

  47. Dave Malaysia says:

    Michael Owen: Good signing by Fergie. He said if he did not get Owen ,he wud have gone for Raul.

    What does that tell you? It tells u he was looking for an experienced player,like he did with Henrik Larsson.

    Owen has had an impact on Rooney, has scored important goals , is one of the seniors in the team in terms of experience, sensible and intelligient lad.

    Wish he wud cease this battle with newcastle. Anyway like kids in the kindy,they started it.

    Glad he signed.

    Owen Hargreaves: One of us ,proved himself, played thru the pain barrier and helped us to the 2008 success.

    Like many was rooting for him to come back into the first team. Only people who have been in hospitals know the hell he was going thru. The courage to never give up,amazing man.

    Will always have my respect and gratitude. Just dissapointed he did not sign on,cos Manutd apparently tried to sign him on, but it wud have been pay as u play and stuff like that,however they cud not agree on that and United pulled the plug.

    Hope he does well elswhere without coming back to hurt us.

    Good luck Hargo, take care, and thank you. God Bless.

  48. parryheid says:

    I would very much doubt any body will be brought in to replace these Two,but what other positions if any can Young play and play well.

  49. Dave Malaysia says:

    @DohaRed: TQ.

    NURSE , INJECT Cedars quickly!!!

    Cedars drop pants ,bend over, NURSE MEG JAB AWAY !!!!!!

  50. manutdisadream says:

    personaly, i wouldnt go for young. But then again, i know fuck all compared to SAF, as DohaRed said, i would trust Sir Alex with my cock.
    But are we fans just biting the bait from the media now? or is it some kind of truth to this? i’m pretty surprised because we have nani, valencia, giggsy and park as “clear” wingers. for now giggsy is playing in a more central position, so if he is moulded to a central midfielder a new winger seems a good singning. Also counting giggsys age, he wont play too many more seasons, (but i do hope so!) so a replacement for him when he retiers. maybe the copyrigthshit issues with valencia is some big thing and it means he will be sold, then its another reason to sign a new winger, or maybe nani is on his way out? he’s played a small amount of 90 whole minutes lately and one thing migth lead to another and there you got a situation where a player wants more, and a new club could offer him that. Just to clearify, i dont want nani sold. not valencia either.

    But there are reasons for why we could sign young. SAF migth have a master plan in his mind, which involves moulding for instance nani into a player that just holds of the striker. i dont now shit, and this young thing migth be all media, but in SAF we trust!!!
    19!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  51. AnomanderRake says:

    Ok first of all, I agree with most of the posters here.
    I dont think Ashley Young is that impressive. He is good, but we have extremely good wingers in Nani, Valencia and Park. Young is not better than any of them. Moreover, there are excellent youth prospects coming through.

    I really cant see us signing. Even if we do, I dont think he is worth more than 10m.

    Also, I really HATE him.
    He is a despicable cheat.

  52. Joseph19 says:

    I rather see sanchez at OT than young,
    bring on sanchez.
    But i am not fergie.
    In fergie we trust.
    GGMU.

  53. Fred says:

    @Parryheid – Ash Young can play on either wing or behind the striker. His crossing is stupendous and with him taking our corners, we might actually score from one next season.

  54. AnomanderRake says:

    @STR

    I dont really agree with this Valencia/Young comparison.

    Ashley Young is English and plays for beloved Aston Villa: Thus he is vastly over-rated.
    Valenica was not English and played for unfanciful Wigan: Thus he was under-rated.

    Also, Valencia, improved hell of a lot with our coaching staff. He made an impact to the team, because there is no-one like him in the team. He brings something really unique. At that point, we had no-one who hugged the touchline and stretched play on the wings. Also, the rest of the league’s full backs couldnt really cope with a very physical winger wiht pace. It was like putting Drogba on the wing.

    Ashley Young, however, brings nothing unique that Nani, Park dont have.

    At best, he is just cover for Park and Giggs who are a year older.

  55. berbatunday says:

    The cow on the other side of the field

  56. james21 says:

    I must admit Young has never looked that bad when playing for Villa against Utd. Fans may pine for the players we used to sign but times have changed Abramavic and Monsoon can outspend anyone in the league. I personally would want a player who desires to play for Manchester Utd rather than your Silvas, Milners and Essiens who would rather cash in on your owners wealth. Bring him in, SAF Will turn him into a world class player. 19.

  57. redevil_83 says:

    we need fucking mid field control mates. not a player who does not raise the quality of what we already have on the flanks. ball control in the middle is extremely important if we are to topple barca off the european perch innit

  59. Fred says:

    Yeah mate, “The Swiss Superstar” Roger Federer got the “W” over his opponent “Serbian Sensation” Novak Djokovic in a humdinger of a contest. Federer will now meet his arch nemesis “The Spanish Twat” Rafael Nadal in the final.

  60. RedLife says:

    We should sign Ali Dia.

  61. Rai says:

    I think a lot of people feel the same.

    He’s not anyones first choice but his stats are pretty impressive. Fergie knows best and if he feels Young will excel at a better club – then who are we to argue.

    Besides…it’s not a done deal until I hear it from Fergie I won’t believe too much speculation. Apparently we’re buying fuckin everyone.

  62. Zibbie says:

    X-Factor, Quality not Quantity.
    Who ever SAF and Gill sign I will be behind them.
    Man Utd the owners and the club management do and must buy big every 3 to 5 years to stay one of the 2 biggest clubs in the world. As for the Glazers, I hate them they have bought the club on the value of the club and have put them in massive debt. At the same time have implemented world class marketing plan as well. They have increased the value of the club in both revenue and the net worth as well with Forbes after taking into consideration the clubs debt and still value them as the worlds most valuable franchise in sport. With that said spending big now means 30-50 million for the top players. Sell some add that to the 50-60 million and buy Quality. The club is in great shape Barca is at there peak of powers no need to throw out the Baby with the bath water.
    But a Sniedjer class player as well as a young and 2 young ones. And De Gea as well. Time to spend big this years and wow with the young ones coming through and the FC Tweenty agreement to develop young South American talent to get their work permit and Man Utd get the best and 20 keep the rest.

    GAZZARO – In the words of Gary Coleman, what you talking about?

  67. Dave Malaysia says:

    Wes Brown: Manchester born,playing for his boyhood club,was there 1999 with the first team,was our best rightback in 2008.

    I’ve seen him stop arjen robben and joe cole when they were at thier peak,they got so fed up they kicked him.

    Has recovered from every injury ,has come back stronger.

    Intelligient,powerful,truly a United Player.

    Had serious family issues then this so called bust up in the US tour last summer.

    Wes, my advice to you, dont leave,tell Fergie u will fight for your place. One week rest is enough,then get to work prepare and when the team return to Carrington, u will be ahead in yr preparations,use the tour to fight for yr place,and Fergie always appreciates that kind of spirit,he will give u yr chance ,take it,make that right back position yours.
    Unless u feel ,that hunger is gone ,then peace be with u .
    Fergie said u were part of the group he wanted to grow up together and become the new seniors in the team, hopefully that happens.

    Make the right decision,God Bless.

  68. and Solskjaer has won it says:

    We need to remember that with squad registration it’s important to have a certain number of English players…with Scholes, RedNev and Hargreaves gone we need to sign at least 1 English lad.

    I’m not advocating Henderson or Rodwell by the way…I agree with Scott’s previous post on them. We all know Young can do it at the top level and is a threat from set-pieces. Like Valencia did when he came, Young would offer a new dimension to the team.

  69. Fred says:

    Nice comments, Dave. :) I’ve always liked Wes but I think his time is up. For some reason he’s just not in Fergie’s plans anymore.

  70. Fred says:

    @Willie – I’ve read that the transfer will be completed after this England-Switzerland game.

    Zibbie – I’m sure United were a world wide phenomenon BEFORE the Glazers took over. We’ve never lacked on the marketing front.

    @Fred : Tq. I do hope he stays .

  73. willierednut says:

    I love Wes too, but he getting a look in at present. Going to Sunderland under Brucie, isn’t the worst deal for him. He’ll probably play every week, given Sunderland are woeful in defense.

  74. Costas says:

    We will see. At the moment, I can’t see him ahead of Valencia, Nani and Park in the pecking order.

    The middle of the park is a bigger concern for me.

  75. Chijioke Chielozie (CJ) says:

    I think he(young) will make a better than Nani. Nani is good but so selfish for my liken. Owen should have leave and i hope SAF sell: brown, evans, gibson, welbeck,machelda,anderson, and bring in some better players like chicharito.

  76. Zelh says:

    Btw. Hazard didn’t impressed me a bit against Turkey,

  77. North Stand Tier 2 says:

    If we are going to move for a right sided midfield player then we should be moving for Alexis Sanchez. Someone to set Old Trafford alight the way Ronaldo did. He has the magic and trickery that we are missing. We dont need Young, when Valencia and Nani are both better versions of what he is.

    The only reason I can see signing him is the rule about homegrown players/english players, whatever the rule is.

    Granted, Sanchez is going to cost £30m, but he has ability way above what Young can ever aspire to be, and would be a player that will excite the crowd, and get OT going with a mazy run, just like Ronaldo used to. No doubt, he would frustrate at times, dribbling up his own arse, and smashing the ball into row z, but thats what Ronaldo did, and with the hard work and training he got at Utd, suddenly everything started going into the top corner and he was picking the right passes more and more.

    I’ll be gutted if we sign Ashley Young, he isnt the way to bridge the gap between us and Barca, thats for sure! As well as Valencia has done in the prem, he was made to look foolish against Barca, and never got anywhere near the ball. We need a couple of stars, but we need to start with CM, not right midfield. Sneijder or Modric please.

  79. Jumping Jesus says:

    I Agree with the article. I think he will provide the wing and attacking options that Obertan has failed to provide. He will be (relatively) inexpensive, is English, and proven in the Premiership. Obviously our centre midfield needs a world class addition (or two) but Young will be a great signing if Fergie goes for him

  80. Zelh says:

    Seriously don’t you want to understand that Nani is not himself on the left and Park not a typical winger? we are way to predictable and I can understand why Ferguson is going for a player who is used to play on the left.

  81. Zelh says:

    And if we would go for Sanchez we have 3 players for one position on the wing.
    To be honest I don’t want to tell 2 out of Nani, Valencia and Sanchez that they are not playing.

  82. Zibbie says:

    @rai they were ok nothing like is going on now they have hired a pr guy that did the Olympics they have segmented the world and market in regions now they will be the 1st club to go over 100 million in a year with cash flow.

I hope a benevolent multi-billionaire buys the club wipes out the debt with the fair-play rules in effect Man Utd the cash richest club in the world can in vest every dime into the players and rule foe 1000 years ZEEK HEIL !!!!

  85. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Sorry, not read all the posts above.

    But, to me, it is pretty clear why Young is being brought in if he does sign. Simply put, we don’t have a proper left sided option now.

    Nani’s attitude on the left is pretty underwhelming. He does not like playing on the left and he makes it clear whenever he is used there. He is not a long-term option on the left is what Sir Alex feels I think. And I agree with him.

    Park, as good as he is, is not a traditional winger in that sense. He cannot make searing runs and put in crosses for Rooney and Hernandez to latch on to. I have a strong feeling that we may see Park move to a more central role next season. Like the one he played against A.C. Milan when he so efficiently covered Pirlo.

    Valencia is a one-footed player. There is no way he can ever play on the left. Simple.

    This past season, we’ve seen time and again that when we’ve been chasing matches, Sir Alex had not option but to use Giggs on the left because there was no one else who could be used there. And Giggs cannot play on the wing at the highest level because he is not 25 anymore.

    If he does sign, Ashley Young is a very good option on the left hand side. I think as far as traditional wingers go, he is a pretty good one. I am not going to make comments on his utility for us or whether he is “world class” because that is not my job. If Sir Alex deems him worthy of wearing the Manchester United crest, then I am a nobody to question it.

    In that way, I think Sir Alex envisions the older United style of 4-4-2 with two traditional wingers bombing down each side. I personally like the idea if it comes to fruition. A re-focused Evra and Young (or whoever else) on the left with Fabio/Rafael and Nani/Valencia on the right. Rooney/Berba/Chicha in the middle to get to those crosses. The thought itself is so good that I would love it.

    Also, I think the term “world class” is over-rated. There are many “world class” players there but not all of them are available. And I don’t think many left wingers are especially. I don’t think we’ve ever had a lot of players who exactly set the world alight. In recent seasons, Ronaldo and Rooney have made international headlines but our players are more suited to make British headlines than international headlines.

    And just because somebody is not talked about at an International level doesn’t make him not “world class” or not fit enough for United. If by world-class, you mean somebody like Messi who is going to get a mention in the daily selling in some town in India, then yes, except Rooney we don’t have such a player. For example, I think Park is “world class” even though nobody talks about him as such.

    That is just my feeling that we’ve never been made up of “world class” players. Players who would make the FIFA shortlist and all that jazz, I’ve never seen a lot of players like that and I’ve never seen the need to also.

  87. Costas says:

    I was rewatching the highlights from our season tonight. Sadly, the turning point of Nani’s season was that time in March when he had a nightmare at Anfield and Valencia returned. Fergis has a big dilemma on his hands in regards to Nani and Valencia for next season. Maybe one of them will play centrally more often?

    So we are actually gonna sign Young. WOW. how many wingers do we now have?

  92. xol says:

    Costas, I thought the same about Nani, but watched him against Chile (I think) where he was outstanding. It was around the time he said Fergie doesn’t let him do his tricks in a newspaper report that was probably bull.

  93. Zibbie says:

    @Balaji nice post as always, well thought out and presented.
    In SAF is trust!
    World Class is over used, and he is an English Nat player as well, pretty good. I believe when people say world class they might mean not one of the 5 best players in the world but an X factor is how SAF explained it. Does Young have an X factor? I would say no. So to me this means welcome Young and SOME ONE ELSE LIKE A SNIEDJER HE HAS X-FACTOR !!!!!!

  94. Zelh says:

    we have 4 and Young would be the only one who can play on the left without dropping in his form and like said before Park is no ordniary winger.
    Giggs will play in the centre.

  95. willierednut says:

  98. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @Costas, It’s not about one of them to me mate. I cannot see Valencia playing anywhere else on the field except the right-hand side. He just isn’t that type of a versatile player. If someone has to make a way and turn himself into something he doesn’t want to, it has to be Nani.

    The biggest advantage for Nani is that he is such an amazing talent that he can play anywhere at the top – left, right or centre – and still be the team’s best creative force. The biggest problem is that his attitude is quite bad in that he doesn’t want to adjust. If he changes his attitude, then I can see him being a beast of a player. I am actually quite surprised that Sir Alex has not worked his magic on him. It worked on Rooney and Ronaldo, so I expect the same from him.

    The past two seasons he has really come of age from a technical point of view. Next season maybe the one he comes of age as a character.

    If he truly does that and changes his attitude like Ronaldo and Rooney before him, then I can see him as the answer to many of our problems.

  108. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @Zibbie, I actually agree with Sir Alex on the X-Factor thing.

    But look at the team that won the 1999 CL Final. How many people in that team do you thing had an X-Factor about them? The team Manchester United and its spirit will always be the X-Factor for me. And it was the X-Factor on the night also.

    And I am not talking like a true romantic supporter who believes whatever crap people sells them, but this is from personal experience that we’ve never had that X-Factor through all our teams. Sure, some of our great teams have had that one enigmatic talent in them like Bestie, Ronaldo, Cantona, Law etc, but for the most part not all of the teams that won us stuff have had the X-Factor in them. (Case in point: 2003 title winning team).

    That is just what I have always felt personally. Mind you, I wouldn’t mind Wesley Sneijder to provide that X-Factor but the majority of that will always come from our spirit, determination, teamwork and never-say-die attitude.

  109. Fred says:

    Ash Young has played well in his recent games for England – a few goals and/or assists to his name. I predict he will do the business again tomorrow and Ashleymania will sweep over this blog. That would also boost his transfer fee unfortunately, so if he’s smart and wants to join United, he’ll keep his head down for 90 minutes. ;) The other possibility is that he gets injured of course.

  110. Marchintothesea says:

    Wouldn’t mind mind young. Good Player. Always saw him signing for us, however I wish it had happened a couple of years ago.

  111. Costas says:

    @Balaji

    That’s the thing. That Nani has to readjust again. The following preseason will give him a chance to do that. But last season, the amount of assists he had with his right and the amount of goals he had with his left (while cutting inside) was really telling of where he was better at. What can I say? As you said, he’s very talented and if he gets some match practice, he should start delivering on the left too.

    @Fred

    Among the many crappy decisions that made my blood boil again tonight. Had to fast forward the highlights of that match for obvious reasons, lol. On the contrary, I couldn’t stop watching the highlights from the other league game against Liverpool. :)

  140. Sparkz says:

    I said this in another thread- I don’t think Young is better than Nani or Valencia. However, IF he signs (and it’s still an if)- you can see SAF’S thinking. Flexibility.

    The team of 2008 had the unpredictability and flexibility about it. Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez could all play right wing, left wing, second striker, or lone striker. The interchange at times was great, and when you threw in Nani/Park on the other flank, who could also play on either side, teams couldn’t live with it.

    In 09/10, we basically played 4-3-3 with Valencia-Rooney-Nani (or Giggs/Park). There wasn’t much flexibility to this- Fergie decided that Wayne would play exclusively as centre forward (due to our lack of players there). Valencia could only play right wing, so we could get a bit rigid at times.

    This season, over the last couple months, with Rooney playing in the hole and alternating with whoever plays left wing, it’s been a bit better. If we were to sign Young though- I can see us playing a trio of Nani-Rooney-Young behind Chicharito. All three of them can swap positions, it’d give us variety. Throw in someone like Wellbeck ( who can play out wide, lone striker or second striker), Park, Giggs, even Cleverly- and we’ve got a fluidity we haven’t had for a few years.

    Valencia will still get games, it’s a long season after all, and in certain games (i.e Chelsea), his physical presence and work-rate will probably earn him a start. But I can see him maybe not playing as much if we sign Young. IMO, Valencia is actually a better impact sub than Nani, coz he’s so direct.

  148. brett says:

    I think he would be a good addition to the squad, flying down the left, obviously we need someone magic in the center and hopefully we will get that someone as well…

    Fergie, sign him up.

  149. RedAllTheWay says:

    in all honsty, i don’t think anyone knows who we’re going to get. the only dead cert is a GK, bu even then we dont know for sure who as De Gea has denied the deal (altough we probs will get him). But ii think we should go for Young,, just because he can play in 3/4 different positions. Regardless of who comes, i believe they will improve alot seeing as theyre coming to US, + playing with better players :)

    Either way, i for one will support WHOEVER comes in, + won’t slash them like some other supporters -.- + btww, does anyone think that we really need another midfielder? I’m juust saying because Carrick is now in top form, + with Anderson, Fletcher + Giggs for another season, that should be enough ? Fletch will be better next season, + Anderson more mature ? And then we have cleverly AND the other young prospects ? Thoughts ? x

  150. Fibes says:

    See where you’re going with that. There was that game against Spurs, where we came back second half with essentially 4 forwards (Rooney/Ronny/Tev/Berba), totally ripping them up.

    That seems a more exciting proposition than going back to a fairly standard 4-4-2, and simply making sure we have enough cover.

    The Twins, Rio, Vidic, Ice Cold and Evra can take the rear for 90% of games next season, that will be enough – think we can afford to blood the odd youngster against some of the lesser teams (although Blackpool especially proved you still need to have your A-game on).

    I think as he was missing for so much of the second half of the season (and wasn’t particularly outstanding in the first half) a lot of us have discounted Fletch’s ability to influence a game from in front of the back four. Only a couple of seasons ago he was first name on the team sheet, and very few of us disagreed with that. He can be consistantly immense for us.

    Anderson had a slow start to the season with injuries, and so with a good pre-season I can see him being more our box-to-box player. He could easily alternate with Park, who I agree will find himself playing a more central role – he’s capable of covering so much ground I don’t think the left-wing is really using him to his full potential. Both are capable of making runs into the box, both are great linking players for 1/2′s, flicked passes etc.

    Rooney needs to be our advanced midfield player, everything should go through him – he’s our new SatNav. Think about what you’ve seen over the last season. He comes deep, he demands the ball, he sprays it out to Tony V or Park. Look familiar? I remember years ago quite early on for England he played that kind of role, broadly similar positions – everything went through him – and he was absolutely incredible. Maybe playing on the left, as the on-the-shoulder striker…maybe that’s all part of the plan, that’s his education… too understand a person you have to first walk a mile in his shoes, innit? He’s not daft, our Fergie.

    So, yes, we need cover on the left but that player needs to be intelligent enough to know what Rooney’s going to do next, if Rooney’s peeling wide, to interchange. Ashley Young can do that, he’s got a fierce shot, he to some extent solves the free-kick conundrum when Nani isn’t on the pitch, he’s quick and I think he’s been undersold by many of his teammates over the last couple of seasons (Agbonlahor anyone?). Could definitely do a job for us and provide Rooney with another runner to hit from deep, or someone to flick a through ball into.

    Tony V again, is like a wide receiver for us, holds it up well, and is a nightmare to defend against. I can see that right wing berth going 50/50 between him and Nani. Think Tony V will take that, not sure whether Nani will take another half-season playing second fiddle. Will be interesting to watch. I do think they provide each other with exceptional competition, that in of itself is more important than having the incredible mind-bendingly skillful player. For Tony V, knowing how shit-hot Nani can be on his day is all the motivation needed. Not that he’s ever lacked an engine for us.

    I think Berba, as well as playing straight up front, also has the vision and awareness to play that deeper role. I think being left out of the final has set him a challenge, think he knows it, and i’m interested to see how he responds. Chico has to be first choice up front to start next-season, think we have a versatile enough squad – an injury free Owen would be a boon – to keep things fresh if the goals don’t flow for him from the off.

    There’s so many games in a season that Carrick deserves a chance to bring some form into one of the midfield positions, the lad is class, a lot of what he does goes unheralded – it’s not a glorious job, but he does help make us tick in those games where patience and persistance is a virtue.

    i’d like to see Morrison, Tunnicliffe, maybe a bit of Will Keane, on the bench for Premier League games, to get a taste of the real deal. Some players respond to that drip-feeding appearances approach.

    Our wild card I think is Bebe, a pre-season with the first team squad (which judging by the title celebrations he seems to very much be considered a part of) could also be very interesting. I know he divides opinion but I still think there’s something very smart about him. He whips a vicious ball into the box which reminds me a lot of Andrei Kanchelskis, only he’s not vanishing down to the byline, he’s hitting them early and defenders don’t know what to do. That could be an awesome tool combined with the pace and movement of Chicho. The way he strikes a football is just very odd and slightly unpredictable, he could score a lot of ‘lucky’ goals for us, and create a fair few from deflections/rebounds etc.

    If we don’t get our Schneijder, our Sanchez, or whoever else, it’s not the end of the world. I think this season’s squad is still very much a squad in development. One more centre back and left back, plus continued options, we’re good to go for another 10 years of domestic dominance.

    Beating Barca however, that’s a different beast, as we all know. The key to their success this season has been their lack of an out-and-out front man. If you imagine us lining up 4-4-2, they pretty much line up 4-6-0. That’s how they completely undo teams. Xavi, Busquets, Iniesta, Messi – all very very good players who interchange brilliantly, move well, and create loads of problems. But NOT superhuman. It’s just a very well executed strategy, which seems to be based on the idea that even a lone front man is really just occupying the centre backs, if the centre backs suddenly aren’t occupied, what happens next? The truth is, the amount of movement that goes on in front of the centre backs is just too much to handle. I don’t know how we beat it – neither did Sir Alex. But I do know bringing in a talented foreign midfield player – however exciting or decorated, isn’t going to unlock that enigma.

  151. Warwick says:

    I am getting a bit weary of hoping that in every transfer window we get a big signing. And Fergie’s choices have paid off in recent years – but I am still waiting for a ‘biggie’.

  153. Devil310 says:

    Sorry fellas. I do not share some of your enthusiasm. Having Park, Valencia, Nani, Giggs, Obertan, Cleverly and even Rooney all perfectly capable of playing on the wing, I really don’t see the point of buying someone that is not better than our current starting eleven options.

    Really the wings is the least of our concerns….and if we have an opportunity to snatch somebody, it should be someone that is BETTER than Nani and Valencia, and Johnson is not as efficient as Tony and not nearly as talented as Nani.

    The worst part about this rumor is that we are gonna get ass-raped with a high fee just because he’s English. I really really hope this goes away and does not happen. Fingers crossed!

    @RedAllTheWay – YES WE NEED MID-FIELDERS, have you read any article or post in the last week I saw 2 guys out of 634 who think like you.

  157. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    young? oh great, why not bring in downing while we’re at it, another overrated english player, will get exposed at highest level surely we need players to take us to the next level, we need match winners and young aint the answer.

    rather than buying young, why not bring through ravel morrison? far more talented and if he gets experience he’ll turn out to be e star.

  158. Warwick says:

    @ Fibes. Put my can down and concentrated. Got it now

  159. Warwick says:

    It IS the midfield we need to shore up, no doubt

  160. Zibbie says:

    My balls itch and I’m in a body cast, wounder if the nurse will scratch them?!

  161. Fibes says:

    A big-name, hot shot midfielder from one of the foriegn leagues (let alone someone who could take a season to settle into the squad – Aquilani anyone?) isn’t going to instantly fix the ‘Barca problem’. I think we had enough injury problems, and players come into the main meat of the team late on (Tony V, Chico, Rooney to some extent) that we can potentially burst out of the blocks next season in a way we simply didn’t last season. If Anderson steps up to the plate I think we’ve already got options that cover the shortfall in that area.

  162. Zibbie says:

    wow water is wet!

  163. wellred says:

    First post. Hello to you all. Ashley Young can’t do at 26 what was second nature to Giggs at 17. The boy looks soft to me.

  166. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    I really think we should dedicate our efforts into developing some of our young players, the telepathic connections the likes of xavi, iniesta, busquets and messi have isn’t just built in one day.

    We have pogba, morrison, tunnicliffe, we need to work hard on this three to develop into class players so when they break through, they can also have this connection. they can be the backbone of the team and the fa youth cup win shows a relationship building there, this guy’s need to be drafted in next season gradually, i have hopes for them all rather than wasting money on overrated young.

    Btw what do people think of nicky ajose? always seems to perform at levels he is thrown at, good enough for the top level?

    Oh can i add will keane in there too, very intelligent player, think he can join the backbone too but physically he needs work.

  170. RedAllTheWay says:

    you know, next season is going to be another ’99/’08. This team WILL start to peak. best thing ? they’re all still young + there are no Tevezs or Ronaldos that wanna leave (maybe Rooney :( ) thing is, we’ve got a maddingly strong XI and the best squad. i honestly believe we will win the treble.

    if you mix Barcas with our first team i come up with . . .

    GK- whoever we get will CERTAINLY be better than valdes

    RB – hmm, atm would say Alves, but the Da Silva twins will probs be better than that divin cunt next year

    CB- Rio + Vida all day. puyol + Pique are SO vulnerable, people don’t realise. and ppl that say oh, pique is world class, remember what he was like in the prem league. if we hadn’t played in high balls for Chico in CL Final, i doubt pique could’ve handled him.

    LB- Evra. Mr.consistent. goes forward everybit as well as Abidal or whoever, but can also DEFEND!

    Holding Mid – Carrick. much better than Busquets. . .ppl can slag off Carrick all they want, but he does his job effectively, sits, breaks up play, releases. He ccan’t always be adventurous, but when he can, he is !!

    One Wing – Messi, no competition.

    Other Wing, Valencia/Nani. Both are better than Pedro + Villa.

    I understand its hard to compare, seeing as we play different systems, but in all honesty, we have a large contingent of world class players.
    In fact, in terms of the attacking six, half will be Xavi, Iniesta + Messi and the other half Rooney, Chico + nani/Valenica, whom are better than Villa + Pedro.

    we’re stronger than people think. Fletcher, Anderson, Chico + Valencia will all be much stronger than next season. In fact, the only worry i have is tha Chico may become a bit peredicatble, but hey, SAF switches it like anyone. n fact, the final with Barca was probs the ONLY game in the whole season where ppl had a strong indication of the team before the match, bar RB.

  171. berbafan09 says:

    yeah, agree with signing young. versatile, good set pieces. he will play n the left side. nani/ tony V on right.

  172. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    @Redalltheway – i understand you’re a true supporter of united just like anyone on here but take off your tinted glasses, nani and valencia are not in the class of villa and pedro, i’m sorry but this guy’s are world class deadly match winners like we witnessed on saturday, we’re some distance away from barcelona’s current attacking players, we need improvements in certain area’s to get to the best level, we have quality but is it sufficient enough?

  173. Stepover16 says:

    Young is a right footed player, most likely best at providing assists on the right flank. We have two wingers that play best when on the right side, Nani and Valencia. All told, we would have four first team wingers plus giggs, cleverly and obertan. I don’t see how this is going to help Nani get more time and to develop, probably the one with the most upside talent of the bunch. I really wouldn’t be surprised if Nani or Valencia are gone by the end of the summer if Young really does come.

    Young just DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. Save that money and get Sneider! and some immune system boosting vitamins for Fletcher and a shrink for Nani.

  174. RedAllTheWay says:

    @SAmuel – the same Villa that scorred 1 goal in 17 ? in the La Liga aswel ? thats laughable mate. Nani has been amazing this season, and i’m sure ANYONE would agree with me on that basis. And for Valencia to take his place on the team must mean something, surely ? i for have no idea how we lost so badly against Barca. we do need a central midfielder if anyone, but i dont want to stop the youth. Welbeck or Cleverley will be affected if a winger/central mid comes in. . .

  176. Toms says:

    Young. T_T Well he’s english…

  177. Fibes says:

    We really don’t need another midfielder. If we bring Rooney deep for the most part, following the play, and Park inside from the left, we’re covered. Bringing in Scheijder would be both a waste of money and additional hinderance to the developing youngsters at the club.

    The modern history of this club is build on developing from within (okay, there’s scooping up fledgling talent from here and abroad too), not from doing a City, or doing a Madrid, or doing a Chelsea. To demand season on season that we stand toe to toe with these teams in the transfer market is somehow missing the point of what this club is all about. We can pay the record fees for the right players – the Rooneys, the Rios, the Keanos, the er.. Verons – but ultimately the club is only ever as good as the players we bring through.

    It is no coincidence that the most successful periods in our club’s history have been heavily underlined by exceptional home grown talent.

  178. Adeez says:

    Apparently we’re interested in a young Argentine wonder-kid

  179. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    @Redalltheway – You can’t judge him based on that stats, villa bangs goals in for fun and his position seems to have changed compared to when he was at valencia where he had the team built around the team, class player without e doubt and i wouldn’t fall for stats.

    We lost because our midfield is incompetent and full of workman like players, barca had more guile, creativity, imagination and more importantly end product and our midfield players were devoid of ideas.

    However i agree that nani is an outstanding player that needs improvements on aspects of his game like decision making but that will come.

    As for the young players, we need to continue our work on them, they’re the future.

  184. missingOTnowiminoz says:

    young has potential, has only really played in an average side and shone out most seasons so it’s more than likely he’ll improve if he comes to united. There is also the thing about being english so he is far more likely to stay for his career at utd if he steps upto the mark and that means a good 6years out of him barring injuries etc. Fergie is looking at players who will stay and not bog off after a couple of years, which yes may limit who we buy to a degree but will keep the side strong and settled

  185. Dre.FU= Forever United says:

    @omnomyum

    Their is no way in hell that formation would ever work, their’s no balance in the team.

    No Carrick?
    Where’s Fletch?
    What happens to Ando?

  186. berbafan09 says:

    guys, personally i would 100% agree with signing young…u see, as much as nani tries, he’s never going to be a better player on the left than on the right. young would be though as he would sprint down the left n cut back to swing in a cross with his right foot at lightning speed (watched 4rom videos). he would be able to interchange well with rooney as well as he can play centrally as well n we would be more unpredictable.moreover, i think many people 4get wat a fantastic passer he is (watch the build-up of how villa earned the penalty vs us at villa park). so,he would be a brilliant coup n if we can get david de gea (done deal) n varane (develop him & replace brown), then i think we can see a treble next season. personally, i dun think we need a central midfielder. we should let ando, giggsy, morrison, pogba n cleverly to play as a more attacking central midfielder while fletch, carrick n park will screen the back 4.

    team 4 next season:
    de gea, rafael/fabio/o’shea, vida, rio, evra, young, nani/tony V, ando/giggsy/morrison/pogba/cleverly, fletch/carrick/park, wazza/berba, chicho/owen/kiko/welbeck.

  187. overtheroon says:

    yeahh scot, i agree with you. young will suite united. he is a classic winger , he can score and give assist too. i think we should sign him.

    viva united, viva wayne rooney. FUCK U MESSI

  188. Naz says:

    does United really need winger? they already have Park,Nani,Valencia…and Giggs still not retired.

  189. fergie is the boss says:

    Samuel – united WE stand – yea and valencia was someone everyone was dying to sign. Young would be an upgrade over nani, who does not mess about,. having young and valencia on either side will be devestating when they run at pace

  190. john johnson says:

    An absolute disgrace if they sign young. That Nani was on the bench in the CL final shows they do not need another player in that position. That carrick and giggs were the midfielders shows center midfield is desperately inadequate. Nani is a much better player than young. It’s easy to think otherwise if you’re a United fan watching every 90 minutes, but only seeing Young’s highlights. Every 90 minutes I have seen Young play he has looked poor.

  191. sakshamboo says:

    @Dave Malaysia
    your post at 19:26 about SAF’s player selection.
    Spot On.

  192. sakshamboo says:

    Although Young is not a world class player but he is a good player who not only attacks well (creates, scores and delivers good set pieces) but also does his defensive duties well. He can play on both wings so is a versatile option. But we have to remember that Cleverley is coming back from loan spells. If we buy young either Nani or Cleverley will have to be played through the middle. It will be an intersting choice for SAF.

    It we buy Young, I think we may not buy a CM. not if we sell first. So I would not get too much excited about us signing a world class midfielder. and I dont blame SAF about it. The game has changed. But we do need game changing players with passion and determination who do not give up when the going gets tough.

  193. byron1970 says:

    Why do people have a problem with us signing Young? I just don’t get it. He’s a good player and there’s nothing wrong with adding good players to our squad. It breeds competitiion and competition for places make players (or should bloody make players) better. If Nani or Valencia or any other player have a problem with that then they can piss off. This is not a dig to Nani or Valencia by the way, I’m sure they’ll have no problem welcoming Young to the club.

    I agree that Young won’t solve our centre mid problems but that still doesn’t mean we shouldn’t go after him. Anyone see the crosses that this guy puts into the box. His delivery is better than anything we have at the moment and our strikers will have a field day.

    Signing Young will not do us any harm but obviously we still need to go all out for Modric who I have a strong feeling we will get after a long drawn out transfer saga. We love wingers at this club so the more the merrier I say.

  194. dazbomber says:

    Have i got this wrong ,i thought Young is a left sided player, and Nani and Valencia are right sided.

  195. sachu says:

    @byron
    mate young is welcome definetely
    him nani and valencia will be awesome
    for likes of hernandez and rooney
    so its de gea and young plus we have cleverley and danny welbeck coming back also macheda
    plus there could be some midfielders on there way
    modric is gettable but sir alex could wait ayear like he did with hargo and berba
    and if spurs dont make CL again then modric and bale will certainly leave
    berba will be going i think and it will be intresting if spurs want him back plus 25 million for luka modric

  196. byron1970 says:

    dazbomber – I think like most good wingers these days he’ll be able to play on either wing. I don’t think Valencia will find himself on the left side too much though so at least in Young and Nani we would have more versatile wingers in addition to Valencia and Park, plus with Cleverly and Welbeck coming back I think competition will be fierce which I just love to see. I think both Cleverly and Welbeck will both find themselves being deployed on the wing whenever they get their chace next season.

  197. D.ROONEY says:

    young on a bad day is like michael carrick and on a good day like umm lets say TonyV.Personally i dont want him coming to united.if you want a seasone PL player try modric…I liked albrighton from villa to.young but quite good

  198. sachu says:

    @d rooney
    mate giggs will retire at some point and park is a player who mostly plays the big games
    so we need an out and out winger and young at 12 -15 million willbe a good sgning
    but midfield signings are more important so hopefully modric sneijder derossi
    also dont forget players like hamsik markomarin and gourcouff so there plenty of good attacking midfielders

  199. byron1970 says:

    sachu – I hope you’re wrong about Modric buddy, just in the sense that I really hope we get him this season. Our squad is primed for another 3 titles in a row if we just add someone like Modric. I really think we’ll get him this year. Simply with Scholes retiring and our pour away form last season Sir Alex will be looking to send out a big message in the summer. And that message will be, The Juggernaut just keep rolling!!!!!

  200. WHAT ??? says:

    Top Post Scott. I was defending Young the other day – United or not he is a brilliant player in his own right. he’s been scoring, assisting and tracking back for as long as I’ve seen him and Alex has always praised him. Can’t even call him a flash in the pan he’s established at what he does and he does it for England apparently, which is a fucking miracle in itself. People need to think about it. Young has been more consistent in front of goal than ANY of our midfielders since Ronaldo, he’s 25, knows how to get a boot in, and he remains relatively injury free. Can’t see what there is NOT to like about the lad to be honest. Imagine he’s Spanish and in La Liga if it makes you feel better. Put it this way, whoever we buy for our midfield, they will need to score and assist regularly like Young already does, in England, and its not even like its 10 odd tap ins a seasons either, the boy can SHOOT.

    Whoever gets hims laughing, he gives you goal threat, pace, delivery and ball retention for 90 mins. Just imagine he’s Argentinian and worth 110M or summat. Buying an proven English player for cheap stops being such a bad idea then.

  201. byron1970 says:

    D.ROONEY – “if you want a seasone PL player try modric”

    Mate, why can’t we get both?

  202. sachu says:

    @byron
    mate i hope we get him too
    but spurs will also want to give a message that they are not selling best players
    but if they dont make cl again then he will go
    also dont forget he is contracted till 2016
    so its going to take a massive bid 35-40 million
    also icant see berba staying
    as rooney hernandez and owen are certainities
    also ferfie said after we won the title about danny coming back and now machedas agent said that we want tokeep him and not loan him so its five strikers and bye bye berba
    coming back to midfielders DE ROSSI is the one we could get he ha s 1 year on his contract and roma dont have CL SO HE COULD BE AVAILABLE FOR 15 MILLION bargain of the summer

  203. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @WHAT ???, Didn’t you get the memo?

    Apparently, he’s not “world class” and he cannot take us to the “next level” wherever that is.

    People don’t want him not because he is a bad player which he is not, but because his name is not in the same level as someone like Sneijder or Modric.

    Mind you, I still think we need Modric at least, but still…

    Good Morning Lads!

  204. byron1970 says:

    WHAT- Execllent point. If Young was doing the same thing for Athletico Madrid for the last few years every United fan would be crying out for him.

    Big Ashley Young fan right here.

  205. Vilhelm28 says:

    I think SAF has half an eye on the rules and for that reason needs to replace players with home grown players. Neville and Scholes and possibly Brown and Gibson. Thats 4 players. Van der Sar and Hargo can be replaced by whom ever SAF wants.

    So in that respect I believe sAF needs to look in the PL for some of the payers he is going to bring in.

    I also believe I have read an interview with SAF saying that Valencia and Nani can play in the middle, but most noteworthy Valnecia. Does he play in the center on his national team maybe? I have a feeling SAF is considering moving one of our winger in central as an attacking midfielder. Both Valencia and Nani can pass and shoot – so not a terrible idea.

    Young has got a good shot, speed and dribling on his side, traits SAF seems to like. This will also give SAF the chance to lend Obi out for a year or 2 – getting him ready for United (yes I believe he will be a star at United)

  206. Ash says:

    I think gibbo is off to sunderland.Now we should demand sunderland 8-10 millions if they want gibbo.
    Hell when players like henderson who has done fuck nothing is said to be 15 millions then gibbo who has scored goals in europe and has also won [remier league and fifa world club should be sold for 10 millions.
    I won’t be sad if we seel brown and gibbo to black cats and buy henderson from there.
    But I would love tunni morrison and pogba play next season and become regular starter for us rather than buying players like henderson or rodwell.
    Ashley young would be a good signing but we need atleast one quality central mid fielder.

  207. byron1970 says:

    sachu – Agreed that if we don’t get Modric then De Rossi would do.

    De Gea, Young, then one out of either Modric Sneijder or De Rossi would suit me down to the ground. I just hope it’s not Henderson or Rodwell. I’ve watched them quite a bit and I’ve been less than convinced. Henderson to Liverpool, hopefully.

  208. time says:

    Hello? sign SANCHEZ not young. sign Schnider dont keep carrick and gibson. Jesus, it really is that easy people, get rid of obertan and bebe. im worried about the new keeper too, let me gues in about four or five years time he will sign for r.madrid. ……i think rooney was right, we lack ambition with our signings. our play and tactics are old fashioned and we dont sign modern players. carrick, berba, gibson, obers, bebe, park, valencia and nani i would get rid. seriously get rid. but they wont, we’ll sign young and Rodwell. boring

  209. byron1970 says:

    time – Pardon my ignornace but what exactly is a modern player?

  210. WHAT ??? says:

    @Balaji Byron

    Easy Fellas. I don’t get the problem with Young either, he’d be worth it just for set pieces, I bet he’s assisted more goals from corners than we’ve scored from corners all season. Thats not to say I necessarily want him signed, but if he arrives at United I’d be very happy with a very smart purchase.

    Funny that, Mark Lawro in the press saying Young ain’t good enough for United, but I bet he’d be over the fucking moon if Liverpool signed him. Whoever gets Young will be stronger for it, that much is obvious.

  211. Ash says:

    I don’t know why people hate bebe so much.Give the lad some time.He has talent without a doubt.One season in which he has only 7 games and you write him off.
    One thing is sure that lad has an eye for a goal.If he gets proper pre season then we may see bebe improve.I would give bebe time to prove.As far as oberton goes he should go out on loan to premier league side like fulham or west brom.
    Have some faith in lads and they will shine.Remember cleverley and welbeck may have some bad games maybe even some pathetic game but we have to have belief in them.They are talented and we should support them.

  212. sachu says:

    @ash
    spot on mate
    we need to sell players better
    we need to get 14 -15 million combined for kuzcak and gibbo
    also i think berba wil go sadly i loved him
    so we have to get 14-15 million
    then we could sell diouf and obertan
    so its possible we could raise more than 30 million which is good
    this will cerftainly help fergie to get 2 midfielders
    we sold becks and veron for peanuts and 80 million for ronaldo is looking a bargain for real now
    i thought we should get 100million for him

  213. FULLARD says:

    I’m very suprised and over the moon you’ve written a pro-Young article because the general consensus on here has been very anti-Young. I think he’s a great player who can play on both wings effectively, and behind the main striker, like he has done for england the last few games, and for about 16mill I think it would be very good value for money, no doubt at all.

  214. Stevie Me says:

    What??? Is right. Some people on here know dick. 15 million for a proven premiership player who is capable of creating and scoring goals week in week out. Add that he is english, in his prime and in the national team. He’s a bargain and he’s as good as nani, maybe better. He’s a constant threat as he has pace to burn, which makes him better than park. Park is a back up player who runs around alot. Wow. Giggs is ancient, god bless him, so who else of that proven quality is available for 15m?? Andy Carol went for 35m! What has he ever done? He’s hardly been free of injury.

    I remember valencia getting the same shit before he signed.

    Also, its clear some people don’t know what technique is.

  215. sachu says:

    @ash
    mate bebe wont be sold also he will be astriker not a winger he is raw and has quality
    but i think obertan will go if we get young htenthere is no point in keeping him
    he is no longer a youngster he is 22 i think he has been here for 2 years

  216. Ash says:

    Regarding ronaldo i think fergie and co didn’t want any more drama so they accepted 80 millions.But like you said it should have been 100 millions or better it should have been 75 millions + sneijder and van der vaart.I think we missed out on that oppurtunity.We could have got one player from robben,sneijder and vdv + 80 million cash for ronalso.
    But no point talking about past.I still believe we will see atleast one big name player coming to manchester united.The way gill and fergie said about transfer I think we will buy some big player.

  217. Ash says:

    @Sachu
    Thats what

  218. sachu says:

    @steve me
    young will be a very good signing no doubt
    regarding carrol going for 35 million thats because torres submiited a trasfer request with just 2 days left inthe transfer window so liverpool had to sign quick and so newcastle just made it tough for him

  219. Stevie Me says:

    Second thoughts……lets not sign Young……..we have Obertan and Bebe.

    Young = 15m, proven premiership player.

    Bebe = 7m, street kid.

  220. Ash says:

    @sachu
    Thats what I am also saying.Bebe is a quality player.He is more of a striker than winger.Imagine if he becomes a success here then how would everyone react who are making fun of him now.
    BELIEVE

  221. time says:

    yo byron1970 says: please watch the game against barca………..no your right actually we wen’t humiliated while the whole world watched and laughed. modern players pass and move and are tactly aware, they run and tacle they put pressure on when they havent got the ball and they have skill and understand when to use it, rather than hoof and not be tactly aware. do you see…do you see they difference between say park and sanchez. or messi and rooney or ronaldo and valencia. valencia was shit against barca. its a team game so tactics and players that work together is important. ..ok ok i see what your saying hhooooof..brilliant. really brilliant well done. really

  222. sachu says:

    @ash
    mate i agree although if as i think fergie wants modric then spurs are going to be atough nut to crack
    and fergie could wait a year like with berba and hargo as spurs if they dont make CL again will definetely sell him and bale and maybe vdv
    regarding ronaldo to be honest real were so shit and so desperate to get him i think they would have given there entire team if we had asked
    and now ronaldo has a buyoutclause of 900 MILLON POUNDS JESUS CHRIST

  223. Owers_9 says:

    get sanchez he is quality

  224. Ash says:

    Valencia had a shocker against barca so he becomes shit then according to this theory messi had a shocker against germany in last world cup so he is also shit right.

  225. marzie says:

    Can’t forget the last time we bought a Villa player and how underwhelming a signing that seemed at the time. Dwight Yorke went on to be our best player in that season of seasons. So stunning in fact that his subsequent and precipitous fall from grace will forever be forgiven in my heart.

    Young seems blessed with decent technique, skills and above all, intelligence.

    In SAF we trust.

  226. sachu says:

    @ash
    bebe as you said has an eye for goal also is very strong like drogba and is quick
    but he will never become a winger as he cant fucking cross
    its like asking wayne rooney to be the goalkeeper

  227. dazbomber says:

    byron1970- I understand what your saying ,but letf footed players are rare as rocking horse shit. Square pegs in round holes. I think if SAF wants Young its to replace Giggs on the left wing.

  228. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @Ash, Ronaldo had a shocker in the 2009 Final, he is shit as well. We just made a bargain selling the shittiest player for 80 million. :lol:

  229. Stevie Me says:

    @ time ~ hoofing is a tactic, you just need to have the players to do it, we don’t. Chelsea do. That’s why chelsea knocked barca out in 08 and were robbed in 09. Arsenal tried to pass their way out and got hammered, so did we. They have macserano at the back and he like the rest are small, pique is the only tall player they have. Hoofing with the right players is a good tactic, if done right.

  230. Zelh says:

    according to the daily fail PSG offers 12 millions for Berba.

  231. dazbomber says:

    And so are left footted sorry

  232. sachu says:

    @balaji
    messi is shit ronaldo is shit rooney is shit
    best player in the world is djemba djemba

  233. WHAT ??? says:

    IF we did sign Young I don’t see how that really impacts Nani and Tony, all it would do is give us another quality back up for the flanks.

    I’d personally want him in the middle if he signed for United, just behind Rooney or whoever we play up top. Young can shoot from that position, ping it to either flank or slip it through to the striker. Thats his best position in my opinion, so if he arrived I’d expect our midfield to look like

    – Nani, Young, Carrick, Anderson, Valencia –

    If he comes its for the middle of the park not the wing. Carra sitting deep with Ando and Young ahead of him. Might actually watch England today to see him play, and thats how you KNOW the seasons over, I haven’t seen England since last summer. Fucking Hell.

  234. sachu says:

    regarding this henderson and rodwell
    i hope we dont make a bid henderson is good but 20 million noooooooooooooooooooooo
    also we dont need a midfielder of his age
    and rodwell is one whho i think could be potentially great and i think fergie will sign him one day
    but i hope not now as he has not proved himself at everton and is injury prone and we certainly dont need another hargo

  235. Rai says:

    @ Sachu and Co.

    I asked this question on another thread and didn’t get an answer – so can someone please tell me:

    WHAT CAN DE ROSSI DO THAT FLETCHER CAN’T?????!!!!!!!!!!!

  236. WHAT ??? says:

    @ Stevie Me / Fullard. Spot on.

    _________

    Theres this Spanish player, valued at 40 odd million but he’s supposed to be the new best thing, can’t tell you his name but he scores 9 from the middle every season with a poor team, he’s good with both feet, good behind a main striker, good on either wing, strong head, takes penalties, has great delivery and ball control, can pass short or long, and he’s only 25….. SIGN HIM UP FERGIE !!!!

    Young is for sale for less than 20 million, he’s been the best player in England’s midfield for the last 12 months, he scores 9 from the middle every season with a poor club, he assists at least 10, probably the best player outside top four, he’s good with both feet, good behind a main striker, good on either wing, has great delivery and ball control, can pass short or long, only 25….. HE’S NOT UNITED QUALITY

    Some of these lot wouldn’t know United quality if Hernandez kicked them in the face last summer!
    Take it easy Fellas.

  237. Ash says:

    @Rai
    De rossi and fletcher can both start.They can be our main mid fielders.Fletcher would become a regular starter next season.Its between carrick and ando.I would prefer ando as he has shown improvement in last 2 months.

  238. byron1970 says:

    time – You presume a lot about me from one post. I’m just some thick cunt who thought we were robbed against Barcelona.

    I also saw the final in Rome where your “modern” player Ronaldo was also shit (I love Ronaldo by the way, but I feel I need to point it out with you being such a presumptious person and all). He is not the only player and we are not the only club to have been massively outplayed by a truely great side but that’s not to say we don’t have to try everything in our power to match them in future. Everyone knows we need to sign players to catch Barcelona but so does every other club in the world. Real Madrid are full of your so called modern players, Ronaldo, Ozil, Di Maria etc.. but where did that get them this year.

    I happen to agree with you on Rodwell but not on Young.

    By the way you forgot one more person who should be shown the door, the fucking tea lady. I hear she puts way to much milk in a cup of cha.

  239. Zelh says:

    Nani is absolutely shite on the left wing and that will probably the reason why SAF is going for Young.

    Now that Rooney plays in the whole between midfield and the strikers I dunno why SAF should take Hernandez off the pitch and put rooney up front again.
    doesn’t make any sense to me.

  240. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    What does young being english got to do with anything? best midfielder in the premier league in the last 12 months? so a few decent performances against wales e.t.c makes him class? don’t make me laugh.

    United already have a player of his styLe in team, nani is twice the player and younger, young won’t improve united, he is just another on the long list of overrated players, him being english can’t justify his transfer plus young joining united won’t improve england if that’s what your thinking.

  241. rob(son) says:

    The lad, I’m sure, will do well. However, why not just keep the money in our pocket and strengthen where we need strengthening – middle of the park. I agree with others – there are better players than Young already in the squad. But you’ve gotta say – if Nana and/or Valencia is injured he’d be pretty useful coming of the bench!

    In SAF we trust.

  242. CedarsDevil says:

    WHAT ???

    That Spanish fella sounds like a bargain! lol

  243. Zelh says:

    Samuel – Nani is twice the player on the right, but on the left he sinks in mediocrity

  244. Kings says:

    Stevie Me – ‘I remember valencia getting the same shit before he signed’. I don’t know where you got that one from, because I certainly was a fan of him when he was at Wigan and was over the moon when we signed him. We need a midfielder who has cunning and guile, with the ability to split defences. In that respect, there is only one stand out candidate. But I trust Fergie to do what he feels is necessary. Then again, I might advise him to sign Villas front 3 and sell Rooney, Valencia and Nani.

    Rai – There is really no point in asking that question mate as there are the same clueless fucking idiots who keep throwing in his name at every given opportunity, regardless of how shit he is. Some people also seem to be the experts in the price of the players we are after.

  245. CedarsDevil says:

    we have a player called Nana? Blimey, with Nana, Nani and Bebe you would think we were a nursery not a football club! lol

  246. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    We play a squad system, can some of you numptys please understand that United has moved on a long time ago from the naff set up that is obvious at shit holes like chelsea, liverpool and spurs.
    Lets name the top 11.
    VDS, Rafael, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra, Carrick, Scholes, Nani, Valenci, Rooney, Chicarito.
    Ok then you tell me how many games last season that line up was chosen to kick off the match. I bet its not even 6 times, out of 60 odd games.

    Young will not be a replacement for Nani on the left he will complement the squad. At times he may allow Nani to have a rest, other times allow Valencia to rest. Take on certain games where Youngs attributes would be more useful than one of the others. It allows us to play the threee winger system that we have done a number of times in the past, all with pace. It will allow us to go through a season a little less fatigued if injury was to hit. Look at poor Nani this year, he took on the burden of almost all of Valencias injury, never having a break. When it came to the end of the season he was fatigued to bollox and wasn’t even half the player he was the last 10 games, not even making the starting 11 for the champions league final.
    Young will make a good squad player, he offers the chance to go all in with pace. More importantly he is used to the premier league and can take a wack now and then. Sure the fancy players mentioned who would be in alot of peoples eyes far better may not be able to take the punishment and then we would be left in far worse a possition should they be long term injured.
    I like the idea of being able to wear down a defence with Chico, Valencia, Young and Rooney up front and then be able to bring on Nani when the defenders legs are made of lead.

  247. CedarsDevil says:

    Kings – Morning buddy

    Someone should give sir Alex the link to this site…. With all these experts on here he could sack all his scouts and save some money :-)

  248. Zelh says:

    If Fletcher is going back to his form in 08/09 no De Rossi is needed. His season was average. Totally out of form and then this mysterious virus.

  249. Ash says:

    @Kings
    Question for you/Which player you want united to sign?
    I am asking this because you seem to be quite happy with our current squad.I know our squad is great but I bellieve we need to sign one quality mid fielder.

  250. Kings says:

    CedarsDevil – Morning my friend.

    Yeah fucking hell, there are so many experts on here with player names and prices, Fergie could save a fortune sacking his scouts and heeding advice from the people on here. Especially when names like boamorte, rosicky, denilson and parker are available to United. Then again, Fergie might retire based on his failure to notice these obvious candidates.

  251. CedarsDevil says:

    Goat

    Excellent post my friend…. To add to the first part of it, Sir Alex played a changed team in something like a 150 matches or so in a row……. So I totally agree, its about the squad and not a first 11

  252. berba is magic says:

    it is good we are discussing about some transfers the boss would make, but guys again expect 3 signings ala ronaldo or chicarito

  253. Zelh says:

    I would rather talk about rooney’s hair transplant :lol:

  254. Passe says:

    Ash, you know there is those of us who just supports the team regardless of who plays in it. All this transfer talk is bloody ridiculous as it wont have any bearing on what SAF does or doesn’t do. It seems some fans wake up from their winter slumber just for the off season to speculate about who we should or shouldn’t sign, all they crave for is a ‘big name’ signing and all of a sudden they think we are going to win everything.

  255. CedarsDevil says:

    Zelh

    Ya I read about that in The Sun……. Dumb fucks have nothing better to write about! lol

  256. Zelh says:

    Cedars – He confirmed it on twitter. Rooney with hair? must be a decade ago when he saw them last lol

  257. Sunny says:

    It comes down to what we aspire to be. If we are only challenging for Premier League, then of course young would be good addition. But can he make a deference in Europe? Will he help us to atleast compete with the likes of Barca and Real? Value buys and bergain buys will only get us so far. Why wont we sign players like Sanchez? If we are to end the domination of Barca, we have to sign world class players like Modric, Sanchez and DeRossi. Not saying that we should buy every shining diamond but 2/3 world class players is necessary. Just rememeber what our midfield used to be once….Giggs, Scholes, Keane, Beckham

  258. Kings says:

    Ash – Mate, if it were up to me then I would pull out all the stops to sign Sneijder, I have made that point a couple of times in the past. He ticks all the right boxes in my opinion. I am very happy with our squad because we have a good set of players and there are fantastic players in the Youth team that are destined for great things, especially with the likes of Tunni, Pogba and Morrison – you can also thrown Will Keane into that equation. Also, the return of the loanees will give us more options next season. People on here overlook the fact that we are the League Champions and came up short to a good side in the Final. Based on that we can identify that it is the centre of midfield that needs addressing. We do NOT need to sign a box to box player as we have Fletch who can do that job. We only need a player in the centre of midfield who can do what Scholes did and the only player who comes close to that is Wesley Sneijder. We do not need a major overhaul for goodness sake. The Premiership is not a problem for us that we need a revolution, we just need that little bit of quality for Europe that’s all. Boamorte, Rosicky, Denilson and fucking Scott Parker are not the answer. This is my opinion, but as I said, I trust the manager to do what he feels is necessary.

  259. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    Cedars
    Exactly mate, Anyone player brought in isnt a direct replacement for any other player rather another option for the manager to use. Its obvious from last year that when Park was away, Valencia was long term injured and Giggs had the odd niggle, not to mention the twins continuously in and out of the treatment room that there was very little cover in the wide possitions and the chance, if needed to play with three wingers was impossible. I prefer the three winger system when playing away from home it give you counter attacking speed, keeps the team wide (spreading their defence) and had Nani someone to work with around christmas then Im sure we would have won the league 4 games sooner atleast.
    Young may not be everyones darling as Sanchez seems to be but you have to consider alot of points.
    1. The cost, Sanchez 25 odd million, Young about 18million.
    2. The nationality, Youngs home grown status has resale value should it not work equal to the buying price where as if Sanchez fails then your looking at Aqualini (at Liverpool) situation.
    3. Premiership experience, Young has the ability to get up from a kicking, thats proven.
    4. Sitting on the bench, Young would be less vocal in his dissapointment. Its one thing being upset if siting on the Villa bench a totally different prospect on the United bench. Its a measure of huge success in itself.
    5. Young wont be jet lagged after internationals. Sanchez would be jet lagged along with other wingers Valencia and Park (if he decides to carry on) also Chico. So if the game after an international was seen to be best to play the three winger system with Chico up front, then the signing of Sanchez would see us buy a winger in the same boat as one of the others, unfit to play.
    After an international it would give us Nani, Giggs, Rooney and Owen.
    If young was signed then it would offer up Nani Young Giggs Rooney and Owen to call on. Far better.

    To bring in a player its far more than just oh Sanchez is better than Park, or Nani is shit on the left (which is bolox). Come on people think.

  260. Zelh says:

    GoatinaUnitedShirt – Sanchez 25 million? more around 35 and nothing less. they already refused an offer around 35 million. says it all.

  261. parryheid says:

    The general opinion is United are needing more in midfield,someone who can see and make a pass,score goals,give us good dead ball/free kick delivery,can give us better and be a more productive player than Darren Gibson who is reputedly wanted at Sunderland.Well there is such a player we could probably get who is left footed,scored 9 with maybe a dozen assists would be brought into the shape we require pretty quickly and would love being a squad player with United.I have put my tin hat on but before the bricks get thrown think about it and the player is drum roll Charlie Adam.

  262. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    @Sunny
    Its not just that IF Young is bought rather than say Sanchez that we are any less ambitious. Bringing in a player like young allows players like Giggs, Nani etc to be fresh for such big games which wasnt the case come the final. Is Nani good enough to tear Barca a new one if 100% fit, yeah he is.
    You also make it sound that when we play in Europe that we come up against the same style of play all the time. We may get to the final next year and not meet Barca on the way. Remember last year – Baern and had we have gone on against Inter. When we won it in Moscow it was a Chelsea final. Barca play good football but they are a long way shy of absolutely guaranteeing a final spot. Hell weve been in more finals the last 4 years.

  263. Ash says:

    @Passe
    See you right there are some fans who just wants top class players but this is transfer season so everyone is talking about which player we should buy.Theres nothing wrong in that.
    I hate when someone starts criticizing our players.
    @Kings
    I agree our current squad is good enough to win the league.next season I am hopeful to see our youngsters get their chance.Tunni,pogba,ravel morrison ,will keane ,tom thorpe all are great talent and can easily be top class players for us.Like you I have full belief in our saf.

  264. sachu says:

    @kings
    mate agreed sniejder is top priority
    but he will cost 50 million and is on 170000 pounds aweek at milan
    so thats quite a lot
    modric could be cheaper and there also others dont forget hamsik gourcouff

  265. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    @Zelh
    Didnt know that mate I dont read the gutter press. Well 35 million for an untried premier league player when you can get Young for half to me seems a no brainer. As far as Im aware Young can play left right and down the center. This Snachez fella was useful during the world cup (all I know) but if hes fixed in a possition (LW) then will he be as one dimensional as Valenci. Im not dissing Valencia but if a player has obvious flaws then you can only carry one or two of them. The usefulness of Nani, Giggs and Park cannot be overstated enough. All are happy in the middle behind a loan striker, on the left or the right. Young fits in very nicely. He will become much better because the company he would keep.

  266. CedarsDevil says:

    Goat

    Again well said mate…. Remember 99? One of (so many) reasons we won the treble was because of our squad. We had 4 top notch strikers and whilst we always played 4 4 2 Sir Alex had the option to chop and change almost every match…..

    Credit to the boss though, how the hell does he keep them all happy?

  267. sachu says:

    @cedarsdevil
    mate agreed but we also had scholes and keane there and we need quality midfielders
    two will be great 1 will be fab also
    sneijder modric de rossi hamsik marin gourcouff nasri pls
    adam parker boamorte cahill arteta nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

  268. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    @sachu
    If Scneider costs 50 million then i hope Fergie doesnt get involved. Thats stupid money. Its one thing to pay 30 million for someone in their early 20′s because you can get 10 years of service or a good return. But 50 million for a soon 27 year old is a fucking joke. No way. Only one player is worth 50 million at his current age and thats Ronaldo.

  269. CedarsDevil says:

    sachu

    My friend, I respect your opinion as I do most posters here, but Nasri? Even worse Gourcouff? The latter as I told you before is over hyped and has already said he wants to go to Arsenal

  270. King Eric says:

    Gourcouf and Hamsik are nowt more than over rated “stars” who have actually done fuck all to warrant it, Just two more fashionable flash in the pans.

    Cedars – Hello mate. Hope you are well. You beat me to it. Its names like this that just piss me off. Oh yeah decent enough in Seria a and the french league when even I would have time to pick a pass but what have they done to warrant a move to United? I will tell you. Fuck all.

  272. Zelh says:

    wtf marin? are you serious? this guy is even hated in germany for his diving and that says a lot. can’t play himself in the german team and never fulfilled his potential at bremen.
    same goes with gourcouff. only good at FIFA or PES.

    I still prefer modric over everyone else.

  273. sachu says:

    @goatinaunited shirt
    mate thats the sort of moneyneeded to bring him i have said that many tmes ont his blog
    just look how inter sold ibra 40 million plus etoo and ibra was 27
    so sneider will be more i guess
    @cedarsdevil
    i dont want us to sign nasri or gourcouff

OMG. He only cross nt until he reaches the line. One way traffic. Nani came in against barca nd dribble nd even shoot. The cunt cant dribble a single player. All is run run run to right side and cant cross until reaching his spot. We need another winger. Or else gabriel step up

  277. CedarsDevil says:

    sachu

    United’s mere existence and purpose is not beating Barca…. We cannot win everything all the time my friend. We cannot win every football match we play, trust me that would be boring, with out the heart ache football would not be the same.

    Our love for this great football club should never stem from being successful, if it does then we are not true supporters. Teams like Wigan and co have supporters that love their club and its not because they win things, its because they love the club……

    Of course I want United to be successful and win everything, but if they do not I would never love them less

  278. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    @Sachu
    We’ll if thats the price then hes better of staying where he is. Hes as useful to our campaigns being tucked away at a club going no where. He wont be a threat to us. Barca and Real cant exactly absorb anymore big names without having to drop others. So lets just pretend Scneider doesnt exist, easy.

    As for Modric, i dont like the fact he plays down the middle and cant jump and header a ball. In my opinion Modric has, skill and is useful but I wouldnt pay more than 12 million for him and personally I rate Giggs, Carrick, Fletcher as far better allround footballers. Ive always felt it is vital that a player in the center of the park has stature. Even Scholes had stature, he wasnt that big but his shadow was a six footer.

    @sunny Get idea, buy an player like Sanchez who would cost a fortune, who is unproven in the premiership instead an proven one who scores, and creates goals and would cost less than half. Sorry, football doesn’t work like that, it’s a business, United is a business and has never gambled money away in that manner.

    United have never bought glacticos. We always bring youth, with a mixture of experience and the odd big buy player where it’s needed. We are not that far behind barca, it’s just their midfield is the best and ours is shite. Our defence is better than theirs and our front line can score goals like theirs can, it’s just the centre of the park where we need players. Carrick, Fletcher, Park and Giggs are no match for Xavi and Ineista.

    Barca are not invincible and they are not uncatchable. We just need a tweak here and there and Young is the smart buy, not sanchez.

    Goat

    Your kidding right? You wouldn’t pay more then 12 million for Luka Modric? The little fella has been immense for Tottenham… he was voted their player of the year ahead of the so “brilliant” Gareth Bale.

    Modric is a tough player. He won’t kick ya but he’s a bit like Messi ( not saying he’s as good as Messi!) that he can ride a tackle and side step tackles and unlike Carrick who is great when he has time on the ball Modric can deal with people pressuring him. We also can’t keep relying on Giggs.. he’s been brilliant this season one of his best but he is 37 and his age will eventually show. Fletcher was average last year. Anderson was brilliant at Old Trafford but failed to produce it away from home.

    Xavi and Iniesta are exactly the greatest headers of the ball but there the best midfield partnership around.

  283. CedarsDevil says:

    PLTV have given the goal of the season to Rooney for his goal against the bitters, cannot argue with that…. Berba’s goal against the dippers came in at number 10

  284. RedLife says:

    @ ryandunny Spot on about Carrick. He cracks when you pressure him. He is a great player with time, but it clear that you don’t give him time, he struggles. All managers must be on to him by now. I’ve not seen much of Modric, but if what you say is true, then he’s the man for me in the middle.

  285. Dandivine7 says:

    Sometimes the prices being quoted for these players in the media are not true for example before Villa moved to Barca, The Media were saying He’ll cost 45million pounds but He went for just 31.4 million pounds, thus Sneijder MIGHT be cheaper than all the amounts being quoted by media sources maybe around 28million pounds at most. Please note I’m not being categorical about this, just trying to highlight some media excesses when quoting price tags

  286. CedarsDevil says:

    You guys want the perfect man in midfield? I say shine them boots, iron the kit and get Sir Bobby on the park… I am sure the great man still has a few rockets up his sleeve

  287. Kings says:

    sachu – I have seen plenty of your posts and chose not to dignify them with a response as they are absolute garbage, but seeing as you have addressed me, I will respond accordingly. Your facts and figures are absolutely nonsensical and they are plucked out of thin air. Sneijder is not £50m, he can be available for around £35m and the fee can be lowered if a player hands in a written transfer request, granted his wages are high, but that is what you expect for a top player. The fundamental objective with looking at getting in this particular player is that he is world class. Let’s quote some of you recent suggestions for players shall we:

    ‘De Rossi’ – A fucking waste of space and is of no use to United. Fletcher can do a better job.
    ‘Hamsik and Gourcouff’ – Overrated and will not improve United in anyway.
    ‘Sanchez’ – Good, but not great.
    Young – I see in one of your posts that you really wanted him, then totally contradicted yourself by saying to someone that you hope a deal for him collapses and we sign Sanchez. Make up your mind.

    The rest are a fucking piss take of the highest order: ‘Boamorte, Rosicky, Denilson, Parker, Nasri, to name but a few….Also these figures you keep banding on certain players are garbage too. No truth or substance to it.

    We do NOT need a major overhaul of our squad as we have some good players. We are the English Champions and came up shirt against a good side. United only need two players and that is it.

    Now I remember you having the audacity to tell me to calm down when I told that Max cunt to fuck off as he was bitching United on this blog. But I think it’s you who needs to calm down about transfer talk, especially as you also like to concern yourself with what other clubs are doing. ‘off topic
    palermo reject 33 million bid for pastore from chelsea
    chelsea look set tosign lukaku’ – This being the case in point.

    Ill start with Barca first. Xavi and Iniesta arent exactly the tallest of players Ill agree with you, Messi either but what they do insead is play the ball on the ground and fill up with numbers. They play a 4-3-3 which is an un United way of playing. We play with wingers and Id hate to see the day we forget our footballing ethos. Sure if we adopted a 4-3-3 then Modric would fit in.
    I realise Modric was voted their best player but we are talking about Spurs, Bale no doubt was second and who third? Palacious, Crouch, lol. To be honest if Joey Barton was there he would have got it, lol. Tottenhams best player is a big question mark in itself. Incidently its funny you give Modric a huge acolade for being voted Spurs best player and then go on and criticise Carrick, who was once voted their best player.
    On Carrick, Carrick plays zonal coverage in defensive midfielder and like any member of the back 4 should not be isolated in such a way that a pass is impossible to make due to lack of movement further up the field. Carrick is not the play making midfielder and shouldnt be compared to a player like Modric who in my opinion has no fixed possition anyway.
    Dont get me wrong, a player who scores and sets up as many as Modric as well as keeping defenders busy is no useless player, I just feel he is totally wrong for United. And in any case any attacking player that plays for Spurs will always look a ton better than he actually is as the defensive duties are firmaly left in the dressing room, its all about out scoring the opposition. I mean for fuck sake, Bale the fucking chimp looks explosive and Robbie Keane was shite hot. We all know thats not the case.

    Cedars…Gotta agree with what you said to Sachu.

    I Support United because of its history and determination to never die (Busby’s era) and because its always been a family club that has encouraged Attacking football to satisfy its hard working class supporters to get good value for money. To Leave the Stadium Happy & Buzzing.

    Of Course their is 100 more reasons to why else i support United, But thats a few.

    Trophies are a Bonus to supporters other fans are not privellged enough to experience such a great Feelings. So We should Cherish each trophy won by the club as if it was our last. Not act like spoilt kids like chelsea & ask for the head of the manager or team after one bad season.

    This is not targetted at anyone in particular here Well perhaps Roman Abrahmovich if hes on ROM ;)

  291. MancKen says:

    What is the point of signing an average player in Young and have him stunt the development of Cleverly and Morrison? Why not save the money for someone with something really special like Modric. Sadly, Luiz Suarez cost pool the same amount that Young is apparently worth and Suarez is much more of an exciting talent than Young is. In the games that Young has played against us, we always had him taken care of comfortably. This signing, if it happens at all, is hardly inspiring.

  295. Zelh says:

    GoatInaUnitedShirt – I think you are underestimating Modric. Imo he’s more capable of playing in a 2-man midfield than sneijder. But that’s just due to the fact that I’ve never seen sneijder playing there. And of course he knows the PL and younger.
    Besides that I wouldn’t mind if at least anyone of them is coming.

  297. willierednut says:

    WHAT??? – Big hole in your argument mate. You said imagine Young was playing in la liga scoring and creating goals, we’d be championing for United to sign him? Hmm, Remember David Silva? He was scoring and creating goals in la liga. I didn’t want silva, nor King Eric and if I remember rightly, you didn’t want him either! lol. Don’t give me his stats mate. By that logic, we should sign Peter Crouch, who’s scoring record at international level isn’t too shabby. Or, that teletubby looking cunt Charlie Adam! Now, I respect your opinion mate and always look forward to your posts, but we’ll never agree on Young. That doesn’t mean if we sign him, I won’t support the lad. Of course I will. As I’ve said on countless occasions, the manager knows more about building the squad and identifying the right players, than any of us do. I hope Young can prove me wrong, I really mean that lol.

  298. Ryandunny says:

    Goat

    I’m not a Carrick hater by any stretch of the imagination. He does a brilliant shielding job for us. You can tell the back four must love what he does for them. But he has so much more to his game its frustrating when he seems to restrict himself to back and sideway passes.

    In my opinion Michael Carrick was at his best when him and Scholes were together between 06-08 in particular.

    In fairness to Spurs they’ve had a great season I honestly didn’t think they’d get out of the groups in the CL.

    I think Modric would be perfect for us… he’s not just an attacking player he’s the hub of that team. He’s the guy they go to to create moves, something we don’t really have anymore since Scholes has gone.

    He’s proven he can play in a 4-4-2 and 4-4-3. Also Spurs weren’t always this gung-ho. In the 2008/09 season they struggled for goals as Keane, Berba and Defoe all left but Modric was still brilliant that season.

    Most of all SAF is a great admirer of him. He even voted him he’s player of the season outside United. The great man does it wrong occasionally but most of the time he’s right and I think he be right once again if he did sign Modric.

    P.S I’m not saying spend 40 million on him just I think he’d fantastic for us.

  299. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    @Zelh
    Sure if any of them come in then I will be a 100% surportive and will have to eat humble pie for being so short sighted. Ferguson knows a hell of alot more than I do on the subject and I more than support his judgement hell my daily life depends on it.
    All I know is I have a vision of how I think United should play and what I would prefer to see and in my opinion both Modric and Scneider are expensive commodities that would benefit a squad because of their varying attributes but would they be happy squad players.
    Im like King Eric, I like what we already have. We have been to three finals in four years, we are champions, missed out stupidly last year. The current squad has not many issues.
    If it was left to me then the players that interest me the most that I feel would possibly leave the club they are at are Young (see previous posts on his versatility), Rodwell as he is a good extra for Carrick and makes up for the loss of Hargreaves to a degree, Schweinsteiger as I feel he can play in a 4-5-1 in either the loan striker role, in the more advanced central player or on the left (coming in from, like Rooney often plays) In games where Chico isnt the right option to plump for then a partnership on paper of Rooney and Schweinsteiger looks menacing as well as having very good midfield and tackling back capabilities.

  300. wayne says:

    got to agree with a few other lads utd play a roatation system,don’t really have feelings about young either way but he’s not chopped liver and alot worse out there,so if we get him for $15 mill or less and he can play 3 different positions don’t really see what the big deal is.

  301. slim says:

    I would never associate the word arrogance with our supporters but i believe there is a high exhibition of it on here. “The premier league isn’t a problem”, “we can win it with the squad we’ve got” a bit surprised to say the least.. The squad needs freshing up and i’m not just talking about transfers. The level of enterprise shown against Shalke and Chelsea is a good benchmark but to achieve that i think changes need to be made.

    The general consensus after the barcelona farce was we’re not good enough so where does this we ONLY need one player and we’re fine. We’re talking about getting better, getting to the next level. Employing a system that can be used in Europe and the league is paramount. Think back to 99 till about 2001. Two upfront every single game, 4 wingers, 4 defenders and the big dane in goal. Simple. Everyone knew what was coming,they just couldn’t do anything about it. I haven’t read all the post but i’m sure no one is asking for C.adam or s.parker etc. Yeah a lot of excitement as you can see from the speculation but nothing to get panties in a twist about. We all want to see United get better and better.

    Really funny seeing names being cast away as “wannbes” and “Pretenders” Is sanchez really an good?
    “Modric is too lightweight” thats the funniest. Too lightweght eh? But not lightweight to play in a midfield two. We try the same thing with our “destroyers” and we get mauled. The thinking seems to be “Oh not another call for foreign palyers”well show me the fucking English talent that’ll take us to the next level.

    If you ask me SAF is going to get his winger and keeper and thats it, he may be on the lookout for a midfielder but the prices of these players is another thing and it will play heavily on his mind. I’m only saying this to prepare the minds of excited/nervous fans waiting for a big signing. Its not set it stone, he may or may not arrive. Finally i said this time and time again. Beat Barcelona, Become the best at what you do and you’ll give them a run for their money.

    p.s ease off a bit on the transfer speculators guys, it can get weary atimes but its all in good fun

  302. byron1970 says:

    Way off topic here but does anyone know when the fixture list for next season is being announced?

    I feel like the season has been over for a month already

  303. Costas says:

    I will agree with Rai about Fletch and De Rossi. I think some of us have forgotten how pivotal Fletcher can be for this team. That being said, we will need another player in midfield since Scholesy retired. But in my opinion, someone will have to be really special to get ahead of Carrick, Fletch and Ando in the pecking order.

  304. Zelh says:

    GoatInaUnitedShirt – I prefer our system atm. I like Rooney playing between midfield and the striker, because of his passing and vision. Besides that he has a hell of a shot.
    Forget about Schweinsteiger. He just signed a new contract with a high wage. something around 8-10 million a year.
    I’m not a fan of Rodwell. Has lot of potential, but already lots of knee-injuries. We should be careful with such players. If players like Scholes and Hargreaves leave you have to get someone who give your team new options and as far as I’m concerned we don’t have a creative centralmidfielder in our team.
    Anderson has great potential, but I don’t see the genius in him which you need to dominate a game. That’s why I would go for Modric.

  305. Dandivine7 says:

    @Slim,how You doing? nice post there, however I still think SAF Will be interested in a Midfielder too, maybe not Modric or Sneijder but someone capable of improving on the quality in the middle, Ryan Giggs playing in the middle at 37 says it all

  306. Clint-IamYourPapii says:

    Bored of Transfer Season Already :) Lets Talk about old Targets and Where they ended up :lol:

    Just found out myself there, the fixtures for the 2011/2012 season of the Barclays Premier League are released on Friday 17th June

    Always something to look forward to

  309. Zelh says:

    Sachu – don’t forget Giggs who’s playing in cm now too. I think one player would be enough if it’s not another prospect which we don’t need.

  310. Costas says:

    @sachu

    I think we just need one even if Gibson leaves. If we buy two of them, then that pretty much diminishes any chance Tom has of breaking into the first team. 4 established midfielders with Cleverley just behind the pack would be my option. Of course, it will also depend on what happens with Gibson.

  311. willierednut says:

    Slim – The Barcelona farce? Explain that one mate? IMO, there was no farce. We got out played by a team at the peak of their powers. People can waffle on about tactics, but whatever formation, or systen we deployed, would not have been enough. Play Fletcher I heard some say? The lad looks weak and would of got the runaround as well. Maybe Anderson, Instead of Giggs? The end result would still be the same. The next level bollox is just that, bollox. Lets win a few more titles and pull away from the dippers. Barcelona are a different kettle of fish. I’m sure Fergie will have something in store for them, if we meet again, but at present, they’re playing to a different beat, to everyone else. As for transfers? While Sneijder would be a great signing, I don’t see it coming off. The fee isn’t the problem, It’s his wages. He’ll be looking parity with Rooney at least.

  312. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    I think the transfer news is great during the off season. Without it then its no United and I cant be doing without that.
    Sachus right in the fact we need 2 midfielders. This isnt me saying some one isnt good enough bla bla bla. To the contrary everyone at United is good enough if the boss says so. But the fact remains. We have a squad, its made of 25 names, and 2 have gone from midfield. Cleverly is in, thats a done deal but will Sir Alex really go for 2 of the midfielders being bleed ins. Im not sure if Gibbos will be dropped but maybe there is some weight behind the idea of putting him out on loan and let Cleverly take the rookie role. It still leaves 2 short and we might as well discuss these things.

    @Zelh
    I didnt hear about Schweinsteigers contract, thats cleared that up then.
    As for Rodwells knee thats always a through of the dice but dont forget Keane turned out ok after.
    Look if Fergusson thinks we can cope with Modric and his height then Im ok with it.

  313. sachu says:

    @costas
    yeah maybe it will be intresting to see if someone realy big arrives

  314. King Eric says:

    willie – Hello mate. As usual great posts. Yeah what the fuck is this obsession with the “next level” and “the barcaphilosophy”? Fuck those cunts. They will keep. Our bread and butter is the premier league and always will be yet some want to change our whole style of play in the off chance we MAY meet Barca once a year. Why?

    People seem to be of the impression I and a few others are a hundred per cent happy with the team. In the main I am but would still like a central midfielder. With Hargraves but particularly Scholes no longer at the club we need one. I just dont think we need the overhaul some are suggesting.

    Costas – Hello mate. Yeah absolutely regarding Fletch. 2 seasons ago most on here said he was the first name on the teamsheet. He was that good. I have been watching reruns of early season games and even when he wasnt considered inform he was still doing a fucking good job. Goals at home to West Ham and Everton away for starters. He then suffered with form and virus. Fletcher is a big game player and is one of the best box to boxers out there. We simply dont need another box to boxer imo.

    lol hilarious.

  322. Costas says:

    @MG

    So now we know what happened to his chest hair. ;)

    @King Eric

    Hi mate. Absolutely. Same goes for Anderson. This is another player who, like Fletch, was hampered with injury issues this season. But this summer he will take part in pre season training and if he works on his stamina some more, I feel that 11-12 will be a big season for him. I also watched some highlights from last season and imo the midfield looked its very best when he was playing.

    So wondering which midfielder should join us is more complicated than it sounds. Reminds me of the time Ruud left. On the surface, we needed a striker. However, we also had 2 strikers returning from injury at the time. Ole and Smith. Either way, I think another midfielder will be required in case Gibson leaves or one of our other lads gets injured. Same goes for the defence in case Wes is sold.

  323. willierednut says:

    Barcelona don’t fuck about, eh? They couldn’t pay the wages last season, where do they get the money from? Same place Real get theirs? lol.

    Imo the winner team is earning 50-60 million.

  329. sachu says:

    @costas
    i think 110 milion and we got 60 million

  330. Zelh says:

    Sachu – Almost 50% of the money is going to the uefa.

  331. Costas says:

    @Zelh

    Really? I thought we made around 80 mil when we won it in 2008. I may have my facts wrong though.

  332. Dandivine7 says:

    Think about this, Barca getting Sanchez, Rossi, does not mean they’ll get stronger mind You Guardiola is into His last season with them. A new manager will bring in new ideas and maintaining their status at the top will be much harder than many think. Dont be suprised to see this same Barca team with big names go on the decline, remember Real Madrid 2 European cups and two league titles in 3 years (1998-2001) with a good team then came the ‘Galacticos’ and what happened? They were supposed to get stronger but did they? Barca seem to be moving along that path too (Sanchez and Rossi despite having Pedro and Villa) . Barca are at their peak, United are not yet, But Surely We’ll get stronger

  333. Costas says:

    @sachu

    Cheers. Liek Zelh said, maybe some of it goes to UEFA as well. Either way, I think that’s where Barca found the money for transfers this summer.

  334. Zelh says:

    Costas – No it’s correct but part of the money is always going to the UEFA. Last year we made 45 million behind Inter with 48 million.
    uefa gets almost 50% of the money.

  335. slim says:

    @Dandivine7

    thanks, i’m sure the master is on the look out, and a long and short term plan in place, a good signing in the middle of the park and the LW we all know is on his way to OT (fingers crossed its someone else) and some of the youngsters. Thats one part of the jigsaw puzzle, next up is finding a way to increase the effectivness of our play i.e actually get better at the way we play. Scorn as much as you’d like (not you personally)but teams are getting better. Fuck that actually, id don’t care about others i only care about United. We need to get better and this fact was made apparent this season. regardless of the game against divalona. That what we do anyway, get better and better every year. No doubt the situation is more complicated .

    The difficulty is figuring out SAF’s thinking and strategy for the next year to 5 years. We know the kids have an important role to play but what happens in the interim, stick with what you’ve got or get the someone to fill the void

  336. willierednut says:

    Costas – Something like that mate. They took out loans to pay their players wages. If they’re in debt to the banks, makes you wonder how they can go on a spending spree like this. One things for sure, you won’t here that cunt Platini being critical of them. He has a lot to say about English clubs debt, but not too much to say on Barcelona or Madrid’s debt.

    King Eric – Hello mate? You have to rate every player on here it seems. The Barcelona fixation, on how to topple them isn’t my big priority. Leaving the scousers behind in titles, should be United’s main ambition. Sure, if we run into Barcelona again, we’ll try and take that challenge on. Who knows, they might get knocked out in the quarters, or semis next season.

  337. Zelh says:

    Costas – That’s my only solution to that. Can’t believe that last year’s CL Champ only made 50 million euro and barca this years champion doubled the money. how should that be possible?

  338. slim says:

    @willierednut

    indeed we were outplayed. And this is just a personal opinion of mine – should have said that instead of making it sound like fact. True we were outplayed but i feel our players/management/staff could have done more to justify being in that final,given a better account of themselves. its just the way i feel.

    You’re saying exactly what i’m trying to get at however, we need to become the absolute best, by winning more league titles and cups and so on we’ll be on our way, by then after a couple of transfers,some youth players stepping up i hope we’d be on a whole new level to challenge Europe. Be your best i said time and time again and you’ll defeat any opponent.

    Again on transfers. the figures can’t be helped. You want the top you pay tops. The very same Barcelona side who are constantly masturbated to, spend a fortune trying to get to where they are now. Now its cule this catalan that. It wasn’t always that way, they experimented and tried different things. Spending big on Ronaldinho, Edgar Davids,Ronaldo, Losing Figo, Kluivert, Overmars the list is endless, while bringing up their youth players.

    So its either the experienced well known players route or less known players like Hernandez, to be honest i’d go for the latter especially if they are truly gifted individuals, like Ronaldinho was at PSG before his Barcelona move or Ronaldo at PSV, granted they were highly rated but were risks nonetheless.

  339. Costas says:

    @Zelh

    Maybe the Wembley venue brought in more revenue? They might have charged the tickets higher as well. Truth be told, United-Barcelona is a much more attractive final to promote than Inter-Bayern.

  340. Zelh says:

    Costas – Of course it is, but 50 million? Can’t believe that. In 08/09 barca had a revenue about 60 Mio and we even more. I think they are around 60 mio again.

  341. slim says:

    @T4M

    I’m sorry but thats the problem i’m having on here. No to charlie adam but yes to hamsik because of his name, that very derogatory. Fact the latter is a better player than the former. End of, the fact he has a weird name has fuck all to do with it

    @King Eric

    the “next level” .The same could be said of our “obsession” to “knock liverpool off their perch”. i see no reason why its nonsense. Focusing on Barcelona obviously is nonsense and for me the next level means getting better and better and having a chance to beat ANY side and not how to stop Barcelona.Do they play physical sides like chelsea/inter all the time ? No. But they are geared up to beat those types of sides whenever the situation arises. i want the same for United. Whoever, wherever, whenever

  342. berbafan09 says:

  344. willierednut says:

    Slim – Kind of my point mate. Currently, our first 11 are no match for Barcelona’s team. Call me negative, I don’t really care, but we would need a Schweinsteiger, or a Sneijder to fill the void of Scholes. Unless we make that special signing, I don’t think we can get near them. Luck will play a part, we’ve seen that, when Inter knocked Barca out last year. I’d love United to win the league again next season. Another title ahead of Liverpool would be brilliant. We’ve done well in Europe, lets not forget. Three champions league finals in 4 years is no mean feat. And, I firmly believe, if we’d of met any other team in those finals, United would be level with Liverpool on European cups. For now though, lets pull away in league titles.

  345. StatesideAussie says:

    I’m not a huge fan of Young. Got to admit, his name wasn’t among those that sprang to my lips when the boss started talking about the Barcelona Protocol. But as Scott says, he may be a gem stuck in an ordinary team. It wouldn’t be the first time we’ve got someone like that, who didn’t really shine until they came to us. I seem to recall Cantona hadn’t exactly set the world on fire before joining us. If the boss is convinced about Young and he comes to us, then I’ll get behind him.

  346. slim says:

    @willierednut

    nah mate,i don’t think you’re negative at all. United are well on their way, they’ve just come upon a major intersection,some careful planning and thought required. I’d take any one of the midfielders you mentioned as they’d give us a platform, my addition to that two would be De Rossi of Roma, like that boy and i feel a new challenge could spark him up even more

  347. slim says:

    On the topic of midfielders anyone else impressed by Riccardo Montolivo in the italian league?

He didnt excatly cover himself in glory in the world cup but he did put a good shift.

    Dont the fucking mongolians ride around on horse back throughing about a goat carass. Would make neanderthal Vidic feel at home, god hes one ugly ….. – great player though.

  355. aimanunited says:

    @the truth, if we’re looking at montolivo deal, we might as well bring Jovetic with him, very talented winger… better than young at least.

  356. Rai says:

    It took 12% of my shit phone battery to download this thread but it was worth it for the comments in the last few hours. Kings and King Eric – glad you’ve started posting again and bought back some common sense there was only a few sensible people left I seemed.

    As for competing with Barca, do people really think we’ll
    revamp our squad just to beat them? Like King Eric said. The league is our bread and butter. If someone offered number 20 for next season I’ll take it.

    Cedars – spot on mate we can’t win everything. We compete in every major competition and very very rarely get totally outplayed…but we did…and no matter who we sign it will happen again. Do people expect us to just win everything? As for Sanchez, Rosicky and all the other names that are being branded about with made up price tags, just think, champions of England, finalists in the Champions League, FA Youth Cup winners…….yeah right let’s fuckin buy everyone because we’re in crisis

    News just in. We needed another winger, play making midfielder and tackler we’ll by a reliable source Ireland is signing.

    My source is Mr Ginn and is very reliable, always up to date with new ideas. Unlike alot of you on here I dont listen to all this clap trap excreted by Mr Bacardi that jesus domningo and shadwell sanchez is signing.

  364. Ryandunny says:

    Some fucking clown posted this on my youtube video:

    I don’t think berbatov or ronaldo would have saved man united the embarrassment that messi delivered the little man made man united’s monkey called rooney really angry it was like taking an ice cream from a kid so yeah idk next time maybe Fergi the pensioner would let berbatov play instead of that chinchila guy why fukin pay 30 mill and keep him on the bench not a big fan of Man u but they should wake up and a get a new manager the 29 year old barcelona manager kicked fergusan’s ass

    I replied to him and he said:

    man united is like a pensioners club you’ve got players that haven’t played anywhere else for like 10 years or more and a manager that is just good for chewing gum next year Barcelona will kick your ass again and so on until someone there wakes up and makes some changes and again pay 30 mill for a striker and not play him in a final… instead have some mexican run around? Great thinking Fergusan is genius man genius. But I don’t care enjoyed watching Barca it was great.

    Fucking idiots like this make my blood boil.

    If anyone wants to join in on giving this idiot the fucking abuse he deserves feel free

  365. Robbinhood Savage says:

    @Ryandunny why waste time on such trolls? Just ignore them. They are insignificant..

  366. WHAT ??? says:

    @Wilierednut. Easy mate! Nah with the Spanish example I wasn’t talking about anybody with half a brain Pal! You know the type of players who are worth 30 million for no fucking reason except looking Greasy. If Young had a face like Figo he’d be alot more popular! Jokes aside I can understand why Alex might be looking at Young, what manager wouldn’t want to sign a cheap 25 year old with 10 goals from the middle and a good left and right? Alex doesn’t even think in terms of 11 players when purchasing so Young would be a decent squad player to buy. Needless to say, I’d live if we didn’t sign him! He’s not my first choice, but out of all the players we’re linked with, I think he’s by far the best value for money, and he’d play his heart out for the Club. Funny you mentioned you and King Eric, I know your dead set on Moderic and I remember agreeing with Eric on Sneider, who is my only “first choice” purchase this summer even tho I can’t see that happening and the moneys silly. But with Moderic its the same for me like Young is for you mate, I don’t see what the appeal is to be honest. But like you said whoever arrives will get the full support, and knowing Alex, they’ll probably end up winning player of the season. Ah well, I know im not gonna be the only one sat watching England haha

  367. Vilhelm28 says:

    MG, I would expect SAF is looking at that tournament as well and that could be the reason why we aren’t reading any facts about players yet….

    I am not expecting United to go overboard this offseason either. I don’t believe in redoing a whole squad. I do hope that Chelsea, City and Liverpool do, because it’s close to impossible to win anything changing your squad every season. I also think SAF has the same view and I don’t expect to see more than the 3 players mentioned. GK, CM and maybe a winger or a fullback. I also expect to see a couple of youngsters.

    SAF will almost certainly include several youth players into the squad this season, the time is right, since our squad is still fairly veteranlike

    I am hoping for Douglas Costa as our CM and I believe he would be all we need. I also think he will be cheaper than all the other names throuwn around and he is younger. He has expressed everal times that he wants to come to United and we have a good group of Brzilians. Costa would be great attacking midfielder and could share duty with Cleverly.

    As for a winger – I personally want Obertan to be given a chance. He is fast, big, technical and has a great shot – not as proven s Young, but pretty much the same type of player.

    Indeed it will be an interesting off season and expect it to heat up after the international games…..

  368. Gee says:

    We need 2 centre mids and an extra winger and young would do a great job for us and would improve our set plays 100% plus he is a player who can play several positions and this is something I think SAF will want to take advantage of.

    As for centre mids, Im just not sure, we need a defensive mid who can put it about but who?? De Rossi maybe?? Toulalon (or however you spell his name) from Lyon?? and we are in dyer need of a creative midfielder and have been for the last 2 seasons but agian who?? Sneijder hasn’t exactly been the player of last season but hes good, Pastore might struggle and would cost stupid money!! I really like Hamsik but again its going to be stupid money and Modric just doesn’t excite me really, he’s good but he doesnt dominate games like Scholes used too. Whoever we sign I hope they spark the midfielders we have already, Carrick, Ando and Fletch need someone to inspire them and really make it a challenge for them to get into the team.

    I would really like to see Morrison brought into the first team squad as well this year as I reckon this kid could be along with Pogba and Tunni the real deal and go on to be more successful and better than the class of 92!!

  369. Zelh says:

    same again.
    costa is a great talent but can’t play in a 2-man midfield and rooney won’t play als a lone striker again.

    Personally I lost hope in Obertan. Looks like he can’t handle the pressure when he plays for the first team.
    even in gary’s testimonial he didn’t even try to beat his man.

  370. willierednut says:

    WHAT??? – I wouldn’t mind a Modric, Schweinsteiger or Sneijder. One of those would do me. I’ve heard some on here saying, we could get two of those players mentioned? No chance. Now, if we sign one of 3 and bring in a younger midfielder as well, I could understand that logic. I honestly don’t think we need a complete over haul in the summer. That’s just an over reaction to losing the champions league final. If we go for a marquee signing, then I hope we sign a world class CM. De Gea will arrive as VDS replacement. Looks like Young will sign also, though I’m not convinced yet.

  371. Robbinhood Savage says:

    In todays Italy’s 3-0 win Montolivo had a great game providing two assists. He seems to be a good midfielder with good ball control and good vision in passing. He can play in both defensive and attacking positions in the centre. Fergie might have a look at him. But Italian players mostly find it hard in the EPL. Remember Aquilani?

  372. Vilhelm28 says:

    I have a scout friend down in Toulon watching the Mexico game. I just texted him and he totally agrees about #11 Ulises Davilla. He is very good, a typical #10 player, left footed and all. Just very good and he just scored – so good call MG :)

  373. Zelh says:

    such a pitty we don’t need a typical 10..

  374. Robbinhood Savage says:

    @Vilhelm28

    Daviila plays at the same club where Chicarito was playing – Guadalajara
    So we have another Hernandez in our hands??

  375. Ryandunny says:

    Robbinhood Savage

    I know I shouldn’t have responded. But sometimes when see such daft comments I feel I have to respond.

    Oh and anyone see an Argentine player called Pato Rodriguez play live before? He’s an AM who plays in the south American leagues and is 21. United are rumored to be in for him

    Heres a clip of him: Looks decent but YouTube videos can make anyone look decent

    @Clint thanks for the Fox vidio.
    What a site a lot of reading ahead of me.
    De Gea

    Vanane
    Sniedjer or Modric
    Business done by the US tour.

  377. Zibbie says:

    Ryan Pato if you look back Fred had some video of the Duck and he looked good.

  378. willierednut says:

    Did someone say duck? I’ll have some rice with that please.

  379. Fred says:

    This is great, we’ve unearthed two gems here in Montolivo and Davilla. Anyone got Fergie’s phone number?

  380. Robbinhood Savage says:

    Fergie needs to pay for us scouts!! Makes his job easier

  381. Zelh says:

    Patricio Rodriguez can play on the left, right and behind the striker. natural right-footed, but has a good left shot too.
    problem with him is his physical inferiority, when he loses the ball often doesn’t track back and sometimes terrible decision making.

  382. Clint-IamYourPapii says:

    Why is Garbage on Display ON ITV?

    Johnson, terry, wallcot & Milner have been shit all year.

    Rather see (Cringe) – Richards, Adam johnson, Jagielka & “Young Love” For you Ashley Fans.

    Ingurland to lose 1-1 as The American’s put it Last Summer 8)

  383. The truth says:

    Fred, are you being sarcastic? lol.
    @Ryandunny
    That’s a really good goal. Have you seen him play the full 90 minutes?

  384. MG says:

    Vilhelm28

    Cheers mate of course I’m very good at this football scouting thing but alas United haven’t acquired my services yet :lol:

    Douglas Costas isn’t a problem for me since initially we wanted to buy him anyway but wouldn’t have got the work permit

    Obertan unfortunately is – I was at Gary Nevilles testimony with my brother – I cannot see his progression at all – though I could be wrong and regarding any United player I hope they all turn out to be gems – but I can’t see it – I can see Bebe maybe going on loan but again although he is gifted with a brilliant physique he has no composure at all – wether that will come or not only United know.

    Interesting times at the Theatre of Dreams.

  415. Zibbie says:

    Chest hair LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  416. Colbert says:

    Neither of the goals are really Hart’s fault. On the first one Rio goes up to clear the ball but misses leaving Hart stranded. Maybe Hart should have taken a few steps to the left but then he’s vulnerable. Rio has to win that one when he first goes up in the air. The second is purely Milner’s fault, he steps out of the wall leaving Hart totally exposed. Barnetta shoots exactly where Milner was and should be standing.

    PS: England are funny:)

  417. Cyril Sneer says:

    the look on JT’s face when the second goal went in was priceless. come on you fucking lion, lead them to glory. I have a sudden craving for a Mars bar…

  423. Fred says:

    @Saad, no I can’t remember that. Can you tell me the last time Nani or Valencia “tore Chelsea/Arsenal apart”? I do know that this season he got an assist against Arsenal, scored against Chelsea and scored against us. Is that any help?

  424. Zibbie says:

    willie not really a body cast I have been recovering from back surgery for the last six weeks that is why I have been around so much. And does Cedars nurse scratch his balls? So when I do get back to work a lot of ROM-ulans will be happy. heheheheheh I can not post while I work.

  425. Mr C says:

    The only consolation about England getting shown up by the Swiss is that all those ‘experts’ in the TV studio, who were gleefully enjoying their ABU Barca circle jerk last week, are getting their hype thrown back in their faces thie week.

  426. Saad says:

    Being dominated for possession at the home of English football.

    Waste of 900m quid if you ask me (not counting the relaid pitches)!

    Valencia man-handled Ashley Cole in Community Shield and in the title-decider at OT

    Forget Anderson. Nani shits on Fabregas, Song and all them Arses (remember the FA Cup game in the 08 season)

    Valencia made life miserable for Liverpool and Arsenal during his Wigan days.

    And you call yourself a United fan???

    Tsk tsk! :P

    It’s Berba’s hair.

  447. WHAT ??? says:

    @Willirednut. I’d be surprised too if its more than one big signing, and to be honest if we’re getting De Gea thats pretty big as far as “big name” players go. Haven’t seen much but my Iberian brethern say he’s the best young Keeper in the world. Theres also a young defender in France we’ve just signed? Fuck knows mate, but theres a lot of talent already in the League thats not in the top four, like Young, and a lot of Clubs around us are gonna strengthen nicking off weaker teams. But like you said United are already strong mate, and your right, people must think that this Barca squad fell out of thin air or was bought in a transfer window. Right down to the physio staff, thats still Rjikaards team with a few new faces, and they’ve been coming together since before Scholesys screamer. Thats a proper developed team over the last 5 years not a mickey mouse Galatico outfit, so Alex knows we can’t buy what Barca have, he’ll do what he always does, build towards great teams and enjoy when it peaks. We’re still in transition, and we can’t really say its a new team until the Great Giggs gives up the shirt and we move on. Def still in transition. Besides like some other lads on here have said its all about the League, Europe is a different Animal, and getting to all these finals is a big achievement already. Our current crop will click, and we will see some shake ups, both with our existing squad and a few new faces. But the main thing has to be our continuation our domination of the League.
    ____________

    Lol @ Couldn’t pass wind.

    That Arsenal defender did his Club mate a favour with that Penalty, and I didn’t realise franky was even on the flippin pitch till the penalty. Jammy Bastards, isn’t this a must win today? I know theres a few United supporters who follow England, but can one of you explain WHY England performances are so shocking? You know what? I blame the fucking national Anthem, the Great Escape and them Cunts with the Drums. Can’t England create an Atmosphere without bringing up the Fakkin War?

    and what did I just tell you lot about Young? Whoever gets him will be strengthened, its not rocket science.

    So Nani on the left Tony V on the right Young at CAM with Rooney in the hole and Lil Pea on the last shoulder HUM??!!??

  457. Colbert says:

    If Young’s contract didn’t go out next year that goal would have added about £5m to his price tag. Like playing for England means something of value these days. Silly persons.

  458. Zibbie says:

    the next Messi is in South America some where with a medical condition he is 12 and Barca will come for him and pay the medical bills and move him to Spain at 13. OH that already happened.

  459. dannysoya says:

    here we go with ashlely young wanking haha. good goal though.

  460. Zibbie says:

    Sign Bains !!!

  461. fergie is the boss says:

    MG – I have always beena fan of young, he is has good or more effective than nani. He does not mess about and his accelerating pace, now having a combo of valencia and young on either wing excites me, pending if we sign him. Having young gives us more flexibility, it gives giggs a breather, we can rest valencia in some games. And having fresh wingers every week gives us more legs. Having young and de gea signed for under 40 million gives us the option to go out and sign a top class CM, has sanchez is well overpriced.

  462. Saad says:

    Ashley Young auditioning.

  463. Fred says:

    LOL Saad! :lol:

  464. WHAT ??? says:

    ha, worst thing Young could have done was score today. Now he’s even more of a Cunt. Did you see the way he celebrated his goal? Cunt. Who does he think he is? A 25 y/o International dragging his country back in a match? Cunt. What a twat. Cunt.

    ;)

  465. fergie is the boss says:

    WHAT ??? – if we sign uoung for 17 or 18 million when he can play either side and off the striker is a bargain. I laugh when many says sanchez is has good has ronaldo

    The Costas work permit issue of last year will be helped in the future with the FC 20 agreement young South American talent going there and getting the permit and Man Utd picking the best and 20 getting the rest. I believe this will provide many first team players in the future for Man Utd.

  475. fergie is the boss says:

    watching young he really offers the spark out wide, he def is on his day has good has any of our wide players we have got.

  476. dannysoya says:

    btw i simply can’t wait to see the new wayne rooney. should be fun LOL. All of a sudden we all like youn don’t we? HAHAHA. football is so funny at times.

  477. MG says:

    FITB

    Since he is in his last year of his contract which I just paid attention to yesterday if he comes dead cheap that means 10 million or less because effectively thats his value then ok fair enough – even better if he wants to come to OT but Villa hold out United can buy him in January for peanuts unless they want to wait a whole year and have him for free

    Apart from that scenario I wouldn’t buy him – surely better wingers are out there – but again it all comes down to what SAF wants.

  479. Saad says:

    Fred is feeling the love and wants to share it!

  480. WHAT ??? says:

    FITB – Easy mate, more often than not I agree with your logic on here. That Sanchez fella everybody goes on about, haven’t seen much of him, but I gather he’ll be 1) expensive 2) foreign to EPL 3) one sided. Doesn’t strike me as a must have buy. Alex has shown the way forward is keeping big, diverse squads and switching it up so Young on the cheap would strengthen the squad. Plus, he’d sit on our bench and not say a fucking word, like Berbatov does. Now imagine if Tevez was on our bench last season like Berb was, he would’ve fucked up our whole campaign blaming us for his form.

    _____

    Ha, Bent missed a sitter with 20 minutes to go and he’s already being prepared as the Scapegoat. This is what it feels like to be England. Small minded Outfit. Fucking hilarious. Never mind England haven’t created SHIT for half the game, never mind England were LUCKY to still be in the game at half time, nah, lets blame Bent when we had 20 fucking minutes left on the clock. Thats why England don’t win anything. Buncha Cunts. 10 minutes to go and the whole stadium has dropped it head, till the WWII songs come out. I thought Capello would drag England kicking and screaming into Modernity, turns out he’s been retarded by his stay here. I’ve just wasted 90 minutes of my life hahaha

  481. fergie is the boss says:

    MG – He has the same amount of stats has nani and he is much more effective than nani running at defenders at dribbling pace, adding the fact he is like valencia and park he tracks back. He scores has many has nani so really we are improving the wide positions, I have watched young and he will be a brilliant asset, he actually does more positional sense going forward and with better players many are gonna be surprised on the impact young can bring to the team much like carrick, sanchez is the one who is overrated, he has scored about 12 goals and they want 45 to 50 million for him.

    Young fits into the category, quality not quantity.

  482. slim says:

    whats up Zibbie

    Sign young up Fergie. hahhahahaha

  483. WHAT ??? says:

    Lol@Willie, but he needs to eat some Yam & drink some Guinness first he’s barely there FFS pmsl

  484. willierednut says:

    Sanchez is so over rated he’s going to Barcelona lol. Don’t talk shite mate.

  485. Mr C says:

    Not convinced we need Young. He’s always been a decent player but not very robust and I can’t see that he’s much of an improvement, if an improvement at all, on what we have already. Fletcher’s making his way back after his layoff. If he gets his strength and game back that might be of more use. However, if there’s a Hargreaves like clone somewhere…

  486. slim says:

    Martin Tyler on JT “captain courage” lol more like captain shit

  487. Saad says:

    Don’t think SAF ever spent more than 50m in one summer (2007 summer was a big one!)

    De Gea is coming. Sounds like Varane is also a certainty. That’s about 20-25m for those two.

    If we get Young, SAF probably won’t go for Sneijder and instead go for Modric.

    If he goes for Sneijder all out, I seriously doubt he’ll go for Young.

    Then again, he might just decide to give the finger to Shitty and Chelski and just splurge!!!

  488. Costas says:

    Sell Nani and buy Ashley Young.

    Hell, sell Antonio and buy Downing. :lol:

  489. fergie is the boss says:

    WHAT ??? – sanchez is a right sided winger, he does not play on the left. I do believe a combo of valencia and young with carrick and another CM signed with rooney playing behing hernandez, is such a potent force that will be hard to stop united. Maybe sanchez will be a great player in the making, but how can united turn down an experienced premiership winger, who can play right and left and pumps up assists oif 14 a season, and scores at most 12 goals a season. His set piece’s are very effective which we have missed out on.

  490. willierednut says:

    That post was for FITB lol. He’s not over rated mate. You don’t get clubs like Barcelona, Inter and United scouting you, if you don’t got the goods.

    This current england team is shit and would get thrashed by the germans ,spains etc.Capello has been managing england like a idiot.They need to play young players like welbeck,smalling,rodwell etc and not he same fat frank or johnson.Even rio should retire from england

  499. fergie is the boss says:

    slim – LOL yea he will cost 50 odd million, and he has scored a fantastic return of 12 goals when he is one footed, yea great buisness there

  500. NBI Red Onion says:

    Young is not replacing nani or valencia, he is replacing guys like Obertain who have not stepped up. We are short of quality wingers and a top top quality left winger would put nani on the bench, Young will be a squad player. The world class creative talent SAF wants will be a mid fielder if we can buy them. Wingers nowdays have to also be able to handle attacking backs and get up and down the line like mad.

    RIGHT WING LEFT WING
    Nani (A) Nani (better at right) (B+)
    Valencia (A) Park (can also play more centrally) (A/B)
    Giggs (no longer used as a winger much, plays more centrally) (A, was A+)
    Obertan (looks on his way out) (C/D)
    Young (can play on the left but also versatile) (A)

  501. Zibbie says:

    I have been practicing my corners and set pieces I have sent the tape to SAF, I’m waiting on the call.

  502. D.ROONEY says:

    Switzerland To the top european teams is like wigan in the premier league.so if we compare youngs performance in these games you have got to be kiddin me.Bring him up against the big boys and then see how he plays.1-2 years ago i would have welcome young with open arms but as of today im not so sure.

  503. WHAT ??? says:

    FITB – fuck me you ain’t pulling any punches pal I was taking the softly softly approach like Scott Lol. Spot on about his positional play as well, thats one of his biggest attributes. We’ll see where he ends up.
    _______

    England MOTM is a hollow accolade to be honest Lol Townsend just said its Hindsight why Young didn’t start. Bollocks about Hindsight, I ain’t even been watching England and I could see Young has been their best player for the last few games. What is it with England and Reality? Capello started with his best player fully fit on the bench because he’s a TWAT. You England supporters need medals. I’ve watched 90 minutes and already I feel used and betrayed.

  504. willierednut says:

    FITB – Two different players FFS! I’m away for shite, because this convo is going the same way lol.

    @SAAD the cost has gone up on spending big 50 million 5 years ago is now 70-80 million and so on and on and on. Time to fill holes and SAF the scouts have done their work and now it is up to Gill.

  509. Clint-IamYourPapii says:

    Honestly Ashlynn Young is The Best Thing Since…..Sliced Bread…#Scratch That#, Best Thing Since IPAD….Useful, Nice, Got Potential But Do We Need it :lol:

    I said it would 1-1, Ended up 2-2 Who Cares, Still a Shit Team.

    I see The “Young Lovers” are on Their Tippy Toes Ready To Ejaculate Over His “Man of The Match” Performance.

  510. Saad says:

    @NBI

    Young would be apparently Giggsy’s replacement. We have to stop depending on Giggsy eventually.

    And that’s where I have a problem. Young is no replacement for Giggsy. Young would be a current solution for the left side whilst we hopefully find the next big thing on the left side.

    Eden Hazard anyone?

  511. WHAT ??? says:

    England at home v Switzerland… but at 2-2 if Bent doesn’t score on 70 minutes its all over?

    THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE ENGLAND

  519. willierednut says:

    I like the dukes of hazard Saad?

  520. fergie is the boss says:

    Oh and by the way, sanchez does not want to come to united and england, yet young seems so desperate to come to united. Why is it united fans dont want players who want to play for united

    willierednut – spanish clubs buy players for the sake of it, without xavi iniesta and messi barca are quiet mediocre. Has we have a better back 5 and frontline than barca, its midfield where they have come out on top. But Sanchez has many seen the guy, they get drawn into the CR7 comparisment and believe the hype

    WHAT ??? – HAHAHA sorry mun did not mean to come accross like that, but when it comes to latin players many do go overboard has anderson is a proven example. I really do hope we sign young, his price and his age and where he can play he will be a brilliant signing. Many will be supried by youngs impact, in the same way has valencia and carrick proved

  521. Colbert says:

    @Zibbie

    Here, have an e-cookie :D

  522. Saad says:

    @Zibbie

    SAF’s four biggest buys:

    Veron (2001) – 28.1m
    Rio (2002) – 29.1m
    Rooney (2004) – 25.6m (a steal if you ask me!!!)
    Berba (2008) – 30.75m

    Conclusion: SAF is probably averse to spending more than 30m. Anything more than that would be violating the “value” principle.

  523. Saad says:

    @willie

    Adding to the list of irrational reasons for signing players, I’d sign Hazard just so that his name is on the United line-up. That is just the coolest frackin’ name in football.

    “Hazard-ous display by United”

    “Fire Hazard from the Red Devils”

    “Hazard warning for ‘Pool”

    That reminds me…he did have a great game in a Europa League match against the Cesspool.

  524. CedarsDevil says:

    If we were to sign Young someone should warn him that snoods are not allowed at OT!

  525. willierednut says:

    FITB – You’re racking them up this week. Is Anderson that much better than Gibson? Yes he is! Barcelona without Xavi, Iniesta and Messi are weaker, well pointed out. And yes, I’ve seen Sanchez play plenty of times this season. I make it a priority to watch players United are linked with. You get the impression on here, that people jump on the bandwagon about this player, or that player. Last year it was Ozil, next year it’ll be some cunt from Bangkok. If United sign Young, fare enough. I’ll support the lad. If we don’t, I’ll not be gutted.

  526. arijc says:

    @FITB
    It’s been amusing following your comments about Sanchez and Young. FYI, from what I gather from the rumor mills, Sanchez has rejected a chance to sign for City because he wants to play for United.

  527. Clint-IamYourPapii says:

    Lets Not Get Carried Away What About That Wing Wizard “Ghenghis” From Mongolia We’re Tracking?

  528. United4ever says:

    SAF, please buy this pato Rodriguez fella, he is extremely talented.
    I don’t like young that much, but he will be more consistent than park nani.

  529. Saad says:

    Okay, I’m looking into Hazard’s stats and I’m starting to get excited. Check this:

    He played 104 games in the past two seasons, including every league game this season => He stays fit.

    French football produces really fast players => He’s fast…really fast

    9 yellow cards in over 140 games => He’s disciplined

    28 goals + 22 assists in 3 seasons => Not mind-blowing numbers but they’re similar to Giggsy’s numbers at the same age

    Did the French Double => Knows how to win and helped an unheralded Lille team beat the likes of Lyon, Marseille and Bordeaux to the title.

    20yo and left-footed….so why isn’t there much noise being made about him?

  530. Colbert says:

    @Saad

    Fuck that guy. We have Bebe!

  531. CedarsDevil says:

    Papii

    I did thanks, I recall dropping mine too! :-)

    Guys

    Any idea why Rooney did not feature? Not that I wasted time watching the game but I just read the team sheet….. Nothing to do with his hair transplant was it?

  532. dannysoya says:

    i have been a German since the 2010 world cup so i am extra happy that the swiss got something out of this. LOLOLOL.

  533. Passe says:

    Saad@
    Lies, damn lies and statistics

  534. theboogeyman says:

    Left legged Valencia = Hulk. I wouldn’t mind Hulk, I think he’s fantastic.

  535. The truth says:

    @Cedars
    I think he is suspended.

    Hazard is a very talented player and he looks promising. But I dont see united going for him. :/ He will probably end up at Arsenal or Spurs if he ever comes to the premier league..

  536. dannysoya says:

    @boogeyman,. Hulk is a BEAST. i’d absolutely LOVE him at united. he’s super strong , fast and is lethal in front of goal. would be brilliant if we somehow managed to pull that off.

  537. Clint-IamYourPapii says:

    Cedars –

    Rooney was Suspended, the Oaf Capello forgot to tell rooney he was 1 booking away from suspension last england game, so the incompetance of No Lips Capello Was to Blame for Rooney’s Yellow Card – According to Capello Himself, He even used the word Oaf :P

  538. Colbert says:

    Agreed about Hulk. He looks like an immense player, in a very good Porto team. I wouldn’t mind Falcao either. That young Porto coach could be one to look out for too. He seems like he knows what he’s doing.

  539. Saad says:

    @The truth

    Why Arsenal or Spurs? Does he have an aversion to silverware?

    P.S.

    Lassana Diarra priced at 18m by the Virus. Same as Hargo when we bought him. SAF should be tempted. 26yo and he’s a confirmed product and a beast in midfield in the mold of Makelele.

  540. theboogeyman says:

    Hulk and Falcao are pretty decent, would prefer Hulk out of the 2 though.

  541. Saad says:

    Hulk plays in Rooney’s position and has never played as a real winger in a 4-4-2. Why on earth would we want him? He’d warm the bench.

  542. NBI Red Onion says:

    @ Saad

    Agreed another Giggsy if we could find one would be the tops, however I am not sure what would happen to Nani’s playing time if we did – decisions! Maybe SAF has his eye on a youth team member to come through.

    But I generally agree with the points that we need a world class first 11. If I am not wrong da Silva only cost around 20mn, the other teams are only going to get stronger next year by the looks of it so more of those players that can change and unlock the game with a moment of class would br great.

  543. theboogeyman says:

    Yeah that’s true, he generally plays as part of the front 3. Still, he has strength, pace, skill and a good shot on him as well.

  544. CedarsDevil says:

    Papii

    Cheers for the info ….. oaf hey? Oaf there has been to many names thrown about here that I cannot keep up…. Even movie characters are now being mentioned! :-)

    Justwatched the england match and Im left in awe at the ability to look worse than last match. Fucking hell who would want to be english nowadays. I am completely embarassed. Unreal.
    All these tossers tha come on here laughing at us because we lost to the worlds best club side whilst their footballers are being run about by fucking switzerland. this is the most extravagant jeremy beadle youve been framed ever.

  546. Saad says:

    @NBI

    I can’t think of any outstanding prospect in the winger category. And no, I don’t think Ravel Morrison would fill that role. He’ll probably play somewhere in the middle or behind the strikers.

    From our academy, we haven’t had any great wingers come through since Giggsy and Becks, no great midfielders since Scholes and Fletcher and no great strikers since Sparky (maybe Rossi too)

  547. Warwick says:

    @Clint-IamYourPapii
    Capello and support staff should be keeping an eye on the yellow cards situation, but you’re making out Rooney can’t count. It’s primarily HIS responsibility to know how near a suspension he is

  548. MG says:

    I think it’s apparent that we need to sign Hope Dworaczyk for the left wing

    Get Googling again!

    :lol:

  549. Saad says:

    @Goat

    In their defense, they didnt have Rooney and Gerrard and they were up against a Swiss team that is made up of some up-and-comers (a lot of these players won the U17 European Championship)

    Still…I’m with you…SHITE…utter shite!

    MG- Okay wow! Can I call dibs on Hope?

  565. Warwick says:

    Its the art of the possible when it comes to the transfer market. We need other players besides this lad, but like keeping Berba, we need quality in depth for when injuries strike us down, and when we need a fresher pair of legs – having quality on the subs bench, and a different quality line up has got to be worth giving this lad chance to shine with the champions!

  566. TonyBee Watson says:

    fuck me England was shite….and if we sign that pillock Young we better have his name stitched to the front of his shirt so he could just point to it…what a big headed cunt

    Fred ….do we need another big time charlie at OT….. Seems all that Young is interested in is self promotion…. decent player he might be but UTD material…… looks like we might be finding out…..hope the Stretford End dont mind him pointing to his name on the back of his shirt. before the badge on the front….

    You must be joking me ;)

    :lol:

    Fred – Lol. I’m blaming you for the Young bandwagon ha ha.

  588. MG says:

    Scott must be on holiday somewhere on a sun kissed beach wondering what he’s left behind

    :lol:

  589. MG says:

    Second thoughts he might be co starring in the new smartalex movie

    smartalex: The Barcelona protocol

    :lol:

  590. CedarsDevil says:

    MG

    Too right, the bugger must be laughing his ass off at his readers going bonkers with transfer talk and of course hot babes…… Me drooling ala Homer style :-)

  591. MG says:

    Or on third count reckoning:

    Scott is officially The Pink Panther

    :lol:

  592. CedarsDevil says:

    MG

    I was not joking you, I was joking me….. The line sort of reminds me of an Abba song…

    Where is smartalex?

  593. MG says:

    Cedars

    A new thread may help but I fear this will be as protracted as our summer signings ;)

    No fear we shall fight the good fight anyway we can

    Ahoy me hearties time to ship sail to the seas – no going back now for the ROM – fine wine the hottest ladies on the planet and the mother of all conundrums:

    How to break the Barcelona protocol ;)

    :lol:

  594. willierednut says:

    Cedars – I backed a horse at 20 to 1, came in at 20 to 4. Ze ze ze ze ze

  595. MG says:

    Cedars

    smartalex is probably at the Camp Nou stealing Barcelona’s secrets as we speak

    :lol:

  596. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    One decent performance against switzerland and now young becomes the next figo, why not buy walcott as wel? young is another one of those erratic english wingers, poor decision making in abundance and he is already 26, physically weak as wel. how can he ever improve? i just hope sir alex doesn’t fall for this hype, young can fuck off to city or something.

    And as for england, i’m not really shocked. people claiming parker is the next lothar matthaus, he is overrated as fuck and the swiss showed him up, i’d be glad if arsenal signed him but we all know wenger ain’t that incompetent.

    Bent, goodness me.. when it comes to the crunch games at the highest level, can he be trusted? england is littered with good players not great’s and young is amongst them.

  597. CedarsDevil says:

    MG

    It all makes sense now, smartalex is RoM’s secret agent……

    Oh mate you have me in tears of joy – that was a laugh ;)

  599. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @Cedars, Yeah mate. I’m cursed to miss out on all the fun. Everytime I go out and come back to find a thread with 500 comments. LOL.

    @Papii, Yeah, I can get that. WIth Megan being bisexual and all, I feel should would be too hot to handle even for an all girls team. Have fun at X-Men (I assume you’re catching First Class at theaters). One helluva movie. I’m sure I mentioned that somewhere but just saying again. Must watch if you’re into X-Men like me. :D

    @Cyril, No way man. My Megan will always be the girl that bent over the hood of a Camaro. Nothing can change that. :lol:

    @Cedars, In the past two threads, we’ve had Papii post a video of Shakira’s famous asset and Megan Fox’s home video. Costas post a link to someone he though should’ve replaced Megan in Transformers 3.

    And we’ve got you guys arguing about you would be the person to lead a 5-man mid-field with Kelly Brook, Natalie Portman, Shakira and Scarlett Johansson. BTW, this is a bad idea. I don’t think you’ll last a complete 60 seconds in that mid-field. :lol:

    If you check all the posts on the front game, nearly every one of them has us talking about hot girls, soft porn and blowjobs. I think Scott is going to ban us all to the internet nether regions eventually. ;)

  600. CedarsDevil says:

    60 seconds? Way too generous buddy :-) …. I would be crippled before making it out on the ‘pitch’ after reading the team sheet! :-)

  602. willierednut says:

    I’d like to throw Heather Graham into the mix. If anyone has seen Boggie nights, you’ll get what I’m saying. She was even sexier in scrubs. That lucky bastard JD got to kiss her lol.

    You mean Bowfinger?

    I posted a comment pitching in for Amber Heard and Olivia Wilde. Just came that “Your comment is awaiting moderation.”

    Maybe the higher powers “are” watching over us. ;)

    Good night lads. And if my comment is approved, have fun.

  607. MG says:

    willierednut

    Go see Bowfinger and have some fun ;)

  608. slim says:

    @CedarsDevil

    It fantastic i tell you, sure in a few weeks you goggle “hot babes” you’d get ROM in the top 10. I Freaking love it.
    MG’s list are the best. But watch out for Costa’s curve ball they have specialty in coming in “pairs” if you get my drift.
    And then Nurse Jackson comes out sorting everyone on ROM out, i tell you mate its brilliant.All the more better with the 19th sitting snugly in the trophy cabinet. Good times mate, good times

  609. CedarsDevil says:

    Good night my red friends…..

    We will live to fight another day……..

    Love to all the true REDS here and you know who you are

    Just caught your post before I signed off….. 19 you say? Eat your hearts out you Liverpool scum!

    Nice way to sign off! :-)

  611. MG says:

    Good night Cedars

    Hope that Hope gives you enough Hope to Hope the night away and into a dashing morning of more Hope-fullness

    :lol:

  612. willierednut says:

    MG – Eddie Murphy bowfinger? If you haven’t watched Boggie nights, I’d recommend you do lol.

  613. MG says:

    willierednut

    Yeah Steve Martin Bowfinger lol ;)

    Boogie nights is a very good film – thought Mark Walberg was brilliant but of course Heather Graham more delicious :D

  614. willierednut says:

    MG – I haven’t seen Bowfinger in a while, but I do remember it being very funny. One of Steve Martins better films and there hasn’t been too many in recent years. The remake of the pink panther springs to mind lol. God love Peter Sellers!

  615. Costas says:

    3 kebabs for me tonight. :)

  616. Costas says:

    606th!

    I’m off for a while see you guys later

    Have we signed Ashley Young yet?

    :lol:

  620. willierednut says:

    Costas – Two questions mate, did Greece win and where are yous now in your group?

  621. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Didn’t watch the game, but saw the low lights.
    2 goals from free kicks? Hart is crap! What is it with england keepers?

    Man. you are so bang on there about Wes Brown.
    Love Wes Brown to bits.
    Be gutted when he goes.
    OK with it in my head, but gutted from the heart.

  623. Costas says:

    @willie

    Yeah mate. We beat Malta 3-1 at home and we are top of the group at the moment. :)

  624. willierednut says:

    Costas – Happy days all round then. :D

  625. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Kricky, you lads seem to off on a Babes tangent. FUNNNNNYYY!

    @Costas, Malta?! You excited about beating Malta?
    I am a fan of the greeks big time but maybe you could give it a rest until the next Israel and Croatia games.! :lol:

  626. smartalex says:

    Early intel suggests that the easiest way to get back at Barcelona is: an ole crab.

  627. smartalex says:

    So, Costas had Maltabella for Dinner!

  628. Costas says:

    @willie

    Yeah for now, lol. Such a pity Montenegro didn’t win tonight. it would have made the England result even more embarassing. :)

    @FletchTHEMAN

    Nah, just excited about going top again. The game was a walk in the park. But yeah, we have a couple of tough games left. Hopefully we will see them through.

  629. Djunfitforwork says:

    Going back to the Ashley Young thing – I see him as someone who could be effective in the Prem -but mediocre at best in Europe. I agree with the statement “In S.A.F we trust”. That said -it could be that his plan to rival Barca could be a long term one -possible post -Glazer. If Young takes preference over the likes of Scheider it suggests to me that he has more than one eye on the finances -and that the attempt to revolutionise the side is going to be gradual.

  630. Costas says:

    @smartalex

    Heh, I’d prefer it if I had just a Bella for dinner. :)

  631. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Costas, Cheers for that.
    Greeks to the final then!
    Hope Dworaczyk to be your date for the final!

    Glad we got that sorted…..

  632. smartalex says:

    @Costas

    Cool, I’ll have the malt.

    I’m wondering how Zulu-Malta is taking the loss. Impishly, I guess.

  633. torontored says:

    Fibes – spot on with your comment :-

    ” they pretty much line up 4-6-0. That’s how they completely undo teams. Xavi, Busquets, Iniesta, Messi etc”–and “I don’t know how we beat it – neither did Sir Alex. But I do know bringing in a talented foreign midfield player – however exciting or decorated, isn’t going to unlock that enigma.”

    Fact is this Barca team have brought another dimension into “total football” strategy.

    They use ” the three ” as pivot defensively/midfield and attack – the balance of the team play to that pivot.

    Well what we ned to do is to create our own “three” or “four” as a pivot. I do not see we need too far outside of what we have now. Rooney drops into the centre (or the left )of midfield (has to because when he sees the ball he performs , when he is chasing the ball he tends to lose it after 20 minutes) – Anderson becomes “middle or left”, push Nani inside right – Tony V stays wide right. Chico drops back, so Park stays wide left – or Morrison comes in or Macheda drops wide or Welbeck , options are limitless!

    We have a deep squad – SAF is renowned for remaking positions for players – Scholes started as a striker, so did Giggs. Well look where they play now! (Well Scholesy ain’t cos he retired but the point is made)

    Their “three” are five years in the making – who needs Etoo or Ibramhiovic – just let the three roam into the space where the ball is – their control and understanding take it from back to front and the rest of that team are supporting every inch of the way.

    We do not need much – we are really not far away. Latter part of the season showed a different tactic from the 4 -4 -2 we started with. We essentially played 4-5 -1 oh and stuffed Chelsea and most others wth that line-up. To change that to 4-6 is not that hard for the team to adapt to. We can see that of that 6 – many have the ability to pop the ball in the net. In addition we have the some of the fastest full backs around (another part of the Barca success). Just ensure we have no lazy bastards (Ronaldo types etc) who reckon they deserve a game because they think they have talent but are too bone idle to support both attack and defense.

    If we buy a player it will be one who goes front to back/back to front and side to side – transfer wise not sure anyone fits the bill – Sneider don’t that’s for sure

    I for one hope to God SAF does not sign a “name” for the sake of the name – and we know he won’t – because he will ensure a new player is committed to the Red Shirt and can adhere to the “we ran out of time” motto.

    The speculation talk on who will we sign is idiotic anyway – only a few know and they ain’t talking until the deal is done.

    Bit of luck and I will get to some of the pre season games in USA – will get an idea then of who and what then. Have high expections for many of the young boys – James/Morrison /Pogba / Petruzzi / Cleverley etc

    UNITED 20/4/12 – 2012

    Google Nicky Whelan

    I’m off into the closures of the night and all that dreams may bring. Yep – dialogue writing has been good today

    This shirt is a symbol of defiance and so Barca can have their moment in time – we’ll be back.

    For United

    Goodnight Manchester United sleep well knowing that we are in a Theatre of Dreams.

  637. ReD5 says:

    @Fletch
    Didn’t watch the game, but saw the low lights.
    2 goals from free kicks? Hart is crap! What is it with england keepers?

    To be fair, the first should have either been cleared by Rio (but he got pushed from behind) or connected to a header but both missed it and Hart was playing the expected header and got caught flat footed. And the 2nd was a total flub by Milner jumping out of his place in the 2 man wall, had he stayed put the ball was blocked and Hart was covering the mid to far post area.

  638. aenemy7 says:

    Young , Samir Nasri and De Rossi is the ideal signings…..if modric unavailable, then sign Samir Nasri the French Messi!!

  639. Saad says:

    News Of The World is now reporting that Giggsy had an affair with his brother’s wife. Don’t know how credible this information is. But what the hell is going on? Is this some kind vendetta? They want to sully the name of the greatest Premier League player of all time?

    He’s gonna get banned… Oh, wait, no he’s not… That rule only applies for Man Utd players haha :D

  641. Costas says:

    Scott is probably at a beach somewhere and waits until this thread reaches 2000 posts. It’s a transfer speculation thread, so we will probably get there by Wednesday. :lol:

  642. Robbinhood Savage says:

    @STR
    Are u holidaying in malta or someplace? This thread is getting too long. Over 600 posts already. Sigh*. Please come up with a new post.

  643. D.rooney says:

    @aenemy7: us signing samir nasri is like van der sar announcing that he is going to play for five more years.everyone would love it but it aint never gonna be possible.

  644. dazbomber says:

    I have heard that we might sign a goalkeeper from Spain and a player from Aston villa. Its all hush hush at the moment but if i hear any thing else i will let you know.. If you want more follow me on Dazbomber does Dallas.

  645. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @D.rooney, I think when you say everyone would love it, you are probably speaking for yourself and a few others.

    Nearly 99% of the regular posters here (including me) would cringe at the mention of Samir Nasri along with the words Manchester United. First of all, it is never going to happen. Second of all, even if the rumours were about 25% true, half of us would cringe because we don’t want that diving, cheating, softball cunt anywhere near United.

    @Costas, Scott leaves us with no choice. Let us rekindle discussion about the Maxim 100, Playboy Playmates and blowjobs.

    If he is not going to do it, we have to force his hand. :lol:

  646. dela says:

    Morning everyone. As lousy a Saturday evening as they come. Had to watch Ingerlund make fools of themselves yet again, while RoM hasn’t posted all weekend.

    Great goal by Young, though I still can’t see him displacing Nani or Tony V from our starting lineup. If he’s okay with a place on the bench, I’d gladly take him.

    Off topic, where have you gone Scott? Entertainment is annoyingly scarce during the
    summer.

  647. TonyBee says:

    Mawning all …..ready fora new post now Scot

    Mr Giles Oakley……… could you possibly do one of your superb recollection pieces with regard to the Ginger Prince please

  648. dela says:

    Just wondering- what’s the longest thread we’ve ever had on RoM?

  649. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @dela, I’d place my money on one of those Rooney threads during the October saga.

    Those would’ve had even Osama waking up from inside his bunker to get in on the discussion. Nearly everyone from every corner of the internet found time to participate in those threads.

  650. CedarsDevil says:

    Morning Costas

    Bring in Megan Fox to the discussions again and we will get to 2000 by th end of today! hahaha

    dazbomber

    Nice one :-)

  651. CedarsDevil says:

    dela / Balaji

    Morning my friends

    I recall one getting to something like 800+ earlier in the season……….. Was after a ‘poor’ performance surprise surprise ! Everton or Fulham away not sure

  652. TonyBee says:

    Just posted this on the the Mail online page with regard to Hart swearing at the cameraman…

    Of course nothing will happen, Bernstein at the FA, is from Manchester City ….just look what happened when Rooney got brought before the Fa on a similar charge……

    Rio Ferdinand was banned for eight months for missing a drugs test and Manchester City player, Christian Negouai, who also missed a test but was only fined £2,000.

    Flagrant bias…… and they say Fifa is corrupt….people investigating football corruption want to start looking a little nearer home

    NOW OFF FOX HUNTING……. tallyho……

  653. TonyBee says:

    i say chaps….was out Fox hunting and I actually found one ….

    http://www.celebritysextapesgalleries.com/megan-fox-bath/8.jpg

  654. dela says:

    Must have been the Rooney saga. I was off RoM all week simply because I was in a state of denial. Worked out well enough eventually, of course.

    The fat lady sure is a United fan, as MG keeps telling us.

  655. TonyBee says:

    cedars mate hows the sunshine out there….

  656. CedarsDevil says:

    TonyBee aka The midget Watson

    The sunshine here is just lovely, 27 degrees today with a lovely breeze………Great drinking weather me thinks

  657. TonyBee says:

    Cedars , you lucky bastard, pissing down with rain here….. off to take MrsBEE to church and I’m taking me dogs for a run ….will be back on later…..
    dont get too much sun….. and breeze….
    god i hate you sometimes…… :lol:

  658. sachu says:

    @cedarsdevil
    good morning mate
    i am surprised there is no thread on rooneys hair
    also everymorning i wake up i hope tosee something like UNITED SIGN SNEIJDER

  659. D.rooney says:

    @balaji-the idea of van der sar returning for five years is what everyone would love,not samir nasri joining united.. my bad…i was pointing out to the other guys point that if not modric or young bring nasri to United.i stated that it wouldnt be possible

  660. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @TonyBee, I’m afraid those are old. Been there and seen that. :lol:

    BTW, you should post NSFW when you post links like that. Some of us at work could be in trouble you know. ;)

    @Cedars, Morning my friend. Well at least there are other sports even without football.

    Cheering for my man Fed Ex to come back against Nadal today in the French Open final. Although it is going to be difficult I’m afraid but he looks to be channeling the old Federer of 2005 these days so it is possible.

  661. CedarsDevil says:

    TonyBee

    Hahahahaha…… But I always love you! kisses

    Balaji

    I know where you are coming from buddy, but other sports do not give me the ‘fix’ I need!

  662. CedarsDevil says:

    Morning sachu

    You need your self a new addiction besides transfers buddy…. I could recommend a few but I need to know your age first! lol

  663. Costas says:

    One of the reasons why I wanted Riol to quite England was stuff like this:

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/jun/05/england-rio-ferdinand?

    I don’t know whether the article exaggerates or not, but it’s obvious to me that Rio can’t handle both an England and a United career anymore. The Terry fiasco gave him a perfect opportunity to leave on his terms. I am afraid that like Beckham, he will be phased out by Capello.

    @Balaji, Cedars

    Hi lads. Yeah, looks like STR has left us no alternative, but to start the hottie discussion all over again. :) Plus, that’s better than talking about Ashley Young, bwahaha.

  664. Dave Malaysia says:

    Well I beleive one of the signing for this summer will be: drumroll pls

    STEVEN DEFOUR!!!!!

    There said it. Fergie has been watching this kid,hes back in action since his injur and has had enough time to prove himself.

  665. Warwick says:

    SSN reopening rumours of Sneider coming to utd. Also funny to see how tevez hates manchester – not half as much as the red side of M/c hates him!

  666. CedarsDevil says:

    Hi Costas

    Do not think Riol ever played for England actually! hahaha sorry, just need to work up to 2000!

    Warwick

    Ya read about that, what a tosser

  667. dela says:

    I’d love to join in on all the transfer gossip, but the fact remains that I know fuckall about all these players. I only Sanchez play at the World Cup, while my assessment of Hulk is based on our occasional Champions League game against Porto. And I have no idea who Steven Defour is.

    Screw the rumours. Let SAF do what he does best- unearth a diamond from the middle of nowhere. I’ll just sit back and wait for the season to kick off.

  668. CedarsDevil says:

    Warwick

    One more thing, you say ‘red side of Manchester’ is there another side? :-)

  669. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @Dave, Yeah, I would be very happy with Steven Defour. He is young, will not cost us that much and will play on relatively lower wages than Sneijder and Modric for the time being. Plus, he has been monitored by Sir Alex since 2009 and was reportedly telling the press that an end of season move looks possible.

    @Cedars, Yeah, I agree mate.

    It’s more like Morphine vs Vicodin. We know we will never get the fix we get with Morphine in Vicodin. But if Morphine’s unavailable, then Vicodin will have to do. ;)

    @Costas, I think that amount of wear and tear will take its toll eventually. It is happening with Rio right now. It has happened with everyone in the history of the game unfortunately.

    Rio has to make a call like mayny people before him have made. He either has to choose the club or his country. If he chooses both, then the toll maybe too hard for his body to handle and he may be forced to retire early.

    I would like to think it is a fairly easy call given how he has been treated by those cocksuckers at the F.A. But with Rio, you never know, you can tell that he loves playing for England too much for the choice to be easy like it would’ve been for someone like Gary.

    Ah morphine, that takes me back a few years…. I had this unbearable intestinal pain and had to be rushed to the emergency room. Once there the nurse injected me with morphine, the pain quickly went away and there was a smile on my face……. Great memories and what a feeling

  674. Dave Malaysia says:

    @dela: Steven Defour is a belgian midfeild player ,hes good but not tested in the 3 big leagues.

    Loads of potential,box to box, scores regularly . A bit like Scholes, arriving at the right time and slamming in the goal.

    He had a bad injury ,Fergie wrote him a letter thru his club , advising hin to keep his chin up.

    He has recovered and is doing well,the last weekend belgium game our scouts were there watching.
    They cud have been watching defour or witsel.

    @Balaji: how u doing mate? the question is will this kid do it for us in the higher stage?

    somehow feel yes. tenacious,strong leader reminds of Scholes in the scorinf dept,bit like Keane in the defending.

    be difficult for Rio to quit england but yeah do agree it might have to be.

    @smartalex: gorillas? ru taking vicodin or ? hehe

    @Cedars: so themystery is solved! sorry to hear ur in pain.

  675. smartalex says:

    It is hot in the middle of the desert here in Dubai and I’m working in an air-conditioned room reading ROM while I’m supposed to be working.

    I hate all you guys who are having fun sundays. Especially you Cedars.

    @Dave, I’m doing great my friend, as always. Thanks for asking and I hope you are in good health as well.

    Yeah, I’ve not seen a whole lot of Defoure but what I’ve seen, I’ve been left impressed with. All it takes is a club of United’s standard for them to move up a level. If the talent is there for all to see, then it is not a question of if they can deliver at the highest level but when they will get the chance to do so.

    So far, I’ve seen Sir Alex send good wishes to only two people (Ruud and Hargreaves) and both ended up signing for us eventually. So, that is good news for starters.

    And BTW, you should add Kayden Kross to that list. Personal Favorite.

  684. CedarsDevil says:

    Looks like dazbomber needs a hug :-)

  685. Dave Malaysia says:

    @balaji: damm how cud i forgrt kayden!!!

    Why on earth would you bring up sushi? Its bad enough I get cravings when dannysoya posts here!

    Sushi conveyor belt aaarrrgggg drooling like a 1 year old!

  687. CedarsDevil says:

    Balaji

    You in Dubai? Fucking land of humidity and burning sunshine? Lived there for 11 years hahaha

  688. CedarsDevil says:

    Balaji

    Watch out for them speed cameras on Sh Zayed Rd and remember to slot a Dirham in them parking machines otherwise they will rip you off of every penny you have ! lol

    The team will be built on Megan and not around her if you get my drift….

    And why the fuck am I the only one posting here? Lazy buggers

    anybody got Alex Ferguson’s phone number?
    I want to discuss some transfer stuff with him…
    perhaps I can convince him to look for nasri and charlie adam… :)

  694. dazbomber says:

    CedarsDevil -hug or drug ? thanks any way.

    Matter of fact, neither do I
    Than standing on a corner watching all the girls
    Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by.

  696. CedarsDevil says:

    devil without a cause

    A Manchester United blog? beats me…… I always thought its a place to discuss babes and sushi!

    Seriously though, that is what off season does to all of us mate

  697. CedarsDevil says:

    dazbomber

    I can only provide one of the 2, you choose! hahaha

  698. Dave Malaysia says:

    well goin to lay down for a while, keep cool think of megan , bit diffucult now cos then i start seeing cedars n smart n balaji and dazbomber , i want to shoot me self. so wiill stick to tori black.

  699. CedarsDevil says:

    smartalex

    Which song is that from? Got the insects….err I mean the Scorpions playing in the background as requested by a lady in a very short skirt. Cannot say no to that!

  701. Saad says:

    Rio will definitely play for England until 2012 summer. He wants to play in the European Championship. He’s missed out on the past three tournaments, once for not being selected, once for being banned and once bcoz of England were crap enough not to qualify.

  702. smartalex says:

    CedarsDevil

    That’s adapted from an old Dean Martin number. Originally sung by Maurice Chevalier, I think.

    Have you heard Manchester’s latest band, The Insecticides? Our answer to the Beatles!

  703. CedarsDevil says:

    smartalex

    Ah Dean Martin…. That’s Amore!

    I thought we already had Simply Red?

    Simply Red > Beatles !

  704. United4eva says:

    Lads can I just say how deeply offended I am by this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1394446/England-Joe-Hart-swears-camera.html and that I hope the F.A. will be consistent and take action like they did when it was a Man Utd player involved in a similar incident :P

  705. smartalex says:

    Transfer talk is so boring, as they are only temporary.

    Tattoos are the way to go. Skin deep beauty leaves it’s mark.

  706. smartalex says:

    69′s are great, but 68′s are far better.

    That’s where she does you now, and you owe her 1.

  707. smartalex says:

    Latest reports indicate that our only new signing will be Joe King.
    Only joking.

  708. smartalex says:

    O sole mio!

  709. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @Cedars, LOL! Thanks for the tips my friend. However, I am here only for a short period of time on work stuff (last 5 months). So am using the safe public transport for now. In a month or two, I will be back home in India happily enjoying my life. :)

    @devil without a cause, Off season my friend. It even turns the most serious, brooding football talkers into people like me and Cedars. If we are already not the serious type like most people on here, then you can imagine. :D

    Come July, it will be back to business with pre-season. Of course, you’d still imagine a few threads to deviate into discussion about porn and Megan Fox. But that is to be expected. We’ve got a bunch of perverts here. No wonder the rest of the world doesn’t like Manchester United fans. One has to only look at ROM for the proof of that. :lol:

    Alright Fellas,

    Its Gonna Be Long Day on ROM…I’ll speed it up for you Footy Fans By Starting a Debate;

    http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gfXupHOEhH0/TN0Qkzo270I/AAAAAAAASuc/wQrAjO14ywU/s640/Rio-Tevez.jpg

    How Come Tevez has Not Been Exposed for this Act by the papers Unlike some of his former Team Mates?

    My Opinion ….Bernstein’s Put out a Super-Injunction.

  714. RedLife says:

    I’d love to see Keane back at OT as a coach. I’ve also always thought it was a massive shame he didn’t go up and lift the Champion league trophy in 99.

  715. Clint-IamYourPapii says:

    @RedLife

    Keano Would Never come back to OT with Glazers In charge.
    Keano like Fergie believes young managers need a good owner to suceed Like Dave Whelan has Given Martinez a chance at Wigan.

    The Reason Keano left sunderland was because I think a change in ownership to a Guy he didn’t trust.

    I would love a keano/ Bruce partnership as United Managers in the future or Laurent Blanc/ Ole or something that consists of Former Players. But Its Very Unlikely because they haven’t proved themselves to be sucessful like Fergie has Pre-Manchester United.

  716. willierednut says:

    Welcome to your life

    There’s no turning back

    Even while we sleep

    We will find you Barcelona

    Acting on your best behaviour Pep

    Don’t turn your back on us Barcelona

    Everybody wants to rule the world

    Manchester United will rise again

  717. Fred says:

    A truly harrowing message for our Catalan friends there, Willie.

  718. Zelh says:

    Tevez can’t wait to leave citeh again.

    till the next paycheck :lol:

  719. Zelh says:

    mirror is reporting that we and citeh are battling for sneijder for 30 million pounds

  720. Fred says:

    FERGIE, SIGN HIM UP!

    *Cringe*

  721. dannysoya says:

    LMFAO tevez is milking city. hahaha. Thank God we let him go.

  722. Fred says:

    Zelh – yes, I stopped reading at: “Sneijder has told both clubs that they will have to smash through the £200,000-a-week wage barrier to land him.”

    That’s us out of the running then.

  723. Zelh says:

    Fred – Yeah read that too. what a fucker.

  724. yosca says:

    giggs is a disgrace

  725. Fred says:

    mattspiro on Twitter (whoever the fuck he is)

    Nasri asked on Telefoot if he may join #MUFC: ‘Let’s find out if the interest is true first, then we’ll talk about it’

    Altogether now: “Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na, Sammy Naseri, NASERI, SAMMY NASERI!!” :lol:

  728. MG says:

    In Football Manager 2011

    Sneijder rejected the advances of city to come to United because he did the following:

    “Rejected the offer from city”

    :lol:

    Transfer muppet-ry overdrive – continuously on going

    :lol:

  729. MG says:

    Cedars obviously doesn’t believe in any other company when he’s got that kind of line up :lol:

    Anyone in New Zealand or the South Pacific? Morning to you for tomorrow – Or morning today afternoon evening wherever you Reds are ;)

  730. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    Sneijder 200000 a week fuck off. Anyway he’ll become a degenerate moody sod sooner rather than later now the fucking dutch are shutting down the coffee shops.
    He can fuck off to City, if money means more than success.
    Look Scholes, Giggs, Beckham, Cantona, Charlton, Law, Best (RIP fella), …………………………. get asked on talk shows, get guest appearances on shows, dinner speakers etc etc because of the success. Signing and being successful at United extends far beyond your playing days. How many people would wanna watch fucking Summerbee talk after dinner at Barnsley working mens club or Chorlton DSS office. Sneijder do you want to be remembered or do you want to be temporarily richer.
    Let him make the decission and if he chooses City dont be upset, it means we made a luck escape. If it was a choice between us or Barca then you can give the man time to think, us and City its like choosing between Jordan and Courtney Love. Sure Jordan cant do anything and Courtneys got some fun in here but lets be honest. If I was a tramp with a scabby bleeding dick and hadnt had sex since my teens I would take a shower just for the thought of sucking courtney loves tits. I mean some dirty fucker has drenched her with a super soaker filled with hepatitus C.

  731. Fred says:

    She was always fucking rank

  732. Zelh says:

    MG – I hope we don’t blast more than 200k a week up his ass.

  733. wayne says:

    morning reds by all accounts ashley young made a big difference for england anyone see it

  734. mufcmyreligion says:

    @Fred

    You beat me to it!! Was just going to mention the Nasri comments, just read it on: http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/94719.html?CMP=OTC-RSS
    If this is true i’d be happy with just this one signing cuz this guy is AMAZING!!!
    FERGIE SIGN HIM UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  735. Fred says:

    Jenna Jameson that is, though it could just as easily apply to Courtney Love or Jordan.

  736. Costas says:

    Lets sign Wilshere and Diaby too. :P

    Wow, the press are no longer holding back anything in regards to Giggs are they?

  737. TonyBee says:

    God imagine you had to actually have one of those three,,,,Jordan.. Jenna or Courtney,,…. think i rather have Nasri…….

  738. smartalex says:

    I’ve got to have kaya now (kaya, kaya),
    For the rain is fallin’!

    We-e-e-e-e-ell, I feel so high, I even touch the sky
    Above the fallin’ rain!
    I feel so good in my neighbourhood,
    So: here I come again!

    Wake up and turn I loose
    For the rain is fallin’!

  739. Fred says:

    Nasri sucks cock. I don’t want the horrible little fucker at United. Big-mouthed twat.

  740. TonyBee says:

    bet Giggs don’t get invited round his brother for tea much more……

  741. sachu says:

    @fred
    mate wen we needed to keep rooney desperately we paid 200000a week or whatever it was
    so if fergie is desperate for sneijder then he could get him

  742. Fred says:

    Unless he can play central midfield.

  743. Zelh says:

    For 10 mio pounds I would sign him and let him play 9 times in the PL :lol:
    no medal for him again :lol:

  744. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    Tony Bee is Wenger in disguise, lol

  745. Fred says:

    @Sachu – no way, two players on those kind of wages? We can’t possibly afford it. No chance of Big Wes signing for MUFC.

  746. sachu says:

    @costas
    i know you are joking but diaby is awful

  747. wayne says:

    on the giggs saga,in all his years playing always flown under the radar in regards to trash press now everthing is being dragged up.wonder if this will make him consider retiring

  748. Fred says:

    You see, we have to aim a little lower these days. If we’d had the Glazers in 1998, we never would have signed Jaap Stam and instead of splashing big money to sign Dwight Yorke, we’d have picked up Ian Rush on a free.

  749. TonyBee says:

    hahahahah goat…might just turn off the girls if only had them 3 hounds to choose from …ugh

  750. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    Fred is Simon Cowell in disguise

  751. TonyBee says:

    Ian Rush…… fucking scouse cunt of the highest order….rather have toeat Jordan’s fat liposuction on toast than have that cunt anywhere near OT….

    THINK I’M GONNA PUKE….JORDANS LIPOSUCTION….. BWAAAAEEEHHHHHH !!!!!!!!

  752. Costas says:

    @sachu

    I think Alex Song is worse than him, but that doesn’t say a lot, lol.

    @wayne

    I don’t know what’s true in this and what’s not, but it’s obvious they are taking advantage of the fact that his injuction is gone to tear him to shreds. The good thing is that we are 2 months away from the first game of the season and not even the most pathetic useless life form on earth will give a crap about Ryan’s personal life by then.

    @Fred

    :lol: Rush would have been the first player with a moustache at Old Trafford as far as I can remember.

  753. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    Tony Bee, you lay too much emphasis on the person and not enough on the Tits. With rihipnol and chloroform nowadays you dont have to fucking speak to the slit arses anymore, just hang yourself above her on ropes and splash all over her tits. I wouldnt do that to Nasri.

  754. willierednut says:

    Courtney Love? No wonder Kurt Cobain blew his heed off!

    Peter Andre was treading the same path, until he hooked that slapper Jordan.

    I wanna go to Kokomo!

  755. aenemy7 says:

    if nasri interested to sign with us, then why not? If modric refuse to sign with us then what other options we got? Nasri is in the same mold with the german zidane mesut ozil that we fail to sign last season…our game is getting slower since cr7 left and the flamboyant owen hagreaves injury curse, the pace is not as fluid like we use to have! nasri will add the speed along with rooney, speedy one two’s scenario…

  756. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Imagine the look on Scott’s face when he comes back from vacation and goes through this thread.

    couldn’t i just hang from some ropes above little Sammi….

    and drop some turds on him scat style…..

  759. MG says:

    Zelh

    I paid Sneijder 110,000 a week in my game

    Though the bastard took near enough a million to sign on

    :lol:

  760. willierednut says:

    Balaji – Slimer lol.

  761. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    Tony Bee
    Thank fuck for that I thought you were going to go the moustasche route ala French cafe – take a trip to the congo with a party of sherpas – find a little monkey looking village boy – and have a fluffy screen edged affair with the chiefs son ala Gary Glitter.
    Im glad your not a pervert!! lol

  762. MG says:

    This blog is the equivalent of an epic movie

    Only thing is we could carry on and make it the official directors cut

    Twitter Facebook eat your heart out ROM rules ;)

  763. Zelh says:

    MG – greedy bastard that is ;) but with that million you signed his god damn hot wife.

    @Costas hi mate read the other day could be alot more women invovled,could drag on for a while,thinking to make it all go away and try and save his marriage assuming that’s what he wants to do might just say fuck it,one more year isn’t worth the grief

  766. MG says:

    MG
    Get this Ive got an idea for a movie, I call it scabby tits.
    It goes along these lines:
    Rhihipnol – jordan – my bed – wake up – dried skin all over tits – Jordan concerned – Jordan unhappy – Jordan needs shoulder to cry on – I am a tit skin specialist – I take a look. Interval approx 15mins for a good hard wank. Part 2. I say its a special form of exma – oil tits. Interval approx 25 mins for a good hard wank. Part 3. Massage Tits – Jordan falls asleep – cue white lace curtains in the breeze and shit – Im strung up on a pulley system wanking on her tits from above – Nice sleep – Jordan wakes up – bad exma on her tits again – calls for doctor – I come round and massage oil on her tits. Interval approx 40 mins as Im drying out, good hard wank. Part 4 Jordan sucks my cock – Jordan says something and I get bored of her chat – Rohipnol – I wank on Jordans tits. Interval approx 1hour ball aching wank time. Part 5 She wakes up confused – My arms too weak to deassemble pulley sysem – I come up with lame excuse that I believe the tits are prone to gravity and say they need to be hoisted and suspended during her sleep – Jordan being a fucking air head goes along with this – She drives cars, plays with herself in the bath and gets ready for bed – I hook up her tits – She sucks my knob. Interval (my poor aching balls that feel that theyre being drug into my fucking body with a crotchet hook). Part 6 ………………….
    You see where Im heading and anyone got any ideas for a happy ending please drop me a line.
    I need some serious funding and stuff.
    Its a Wagnerian epic Im not going for 16 hours but more like 16 months.

  771. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @willie, I always though Yasmine Bleeth and Carmen Electra were hotter than Pam. Though she was by far the most popular because of her famous assets.

    Right lads, keep it clean, remember this is a Manchester United blog. I am off to watch the French Open final. Go Federer.

  772. Fred says:

    The baseball final! I’d completely forgotten! Thanks Balaji. :) Go Federer!

  773. willierednut says:

    Balaji – Carmen Electra? No no no no!

    Hypothetical question #1: If Ronaldo wanted to come back here, would you take him?

    Hypothetical question #2: If we had any money, would we sign top players?

    Hypothetical question #3: If your aunt had balls, would she be your uncle?

  781. Fred says:

    Nadal about to lose the first set, so he starts his old time-wasting shenanigans. God, he’s a cunt.

  782. willierednut says:

    Balaji – Nice rack, but Pam in her day was the bees knees!

  783. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @Fred, Yeah, I agree. Nadal off court is a decent bloke but on it, he is a cunt of the highest order. I love Federer for the same reason I love United. Love of the game and playing it the right way which Nadal certainly doesn’t.

    I am not thinking ahead too much though. Federer took the first set 6-1 in 06 and then got steamrolled by Nadal.

    But this is looking like vintage Federer, he is hitting both his front and back hands and his serving has been perfect so far. So things are looking good.

  784. smartalex says:

    Hypodermic question #1: Does Cedars nurse perform master strokes?

  785. willierednut says:

    Check the dosage Cedars!

  786. willierednut says:

    Don’t get the dose either! Check for crabs on a stick!

  787. Gorse Hill Red says:

    So realistically we are looking at Sneider, Modric and Nasri who all want to come to United this season and if United did choose the option of all three then there must be a link or connection in the theory of waiting for central midfielders and waiting for a bus.

  788. sandeep1878 says:

    @ Balaji..

    i m a nadal fan, but i do not agree with ur his on court behaviour? watz wrong he has done?

    i m an admirer of Fedex, on of the best sportsman of all time..

    i mnot a fedex hater but what pisses me is ur statement on on court behaviour? have i missed something..

    in fact fedex was the one who had anger problems in early stages of the career..

    i m not fyting devils, but cant say nadal a cunt, whether by his behaviour or his record against the best tennis player of all time..:)

    cheers mate :)

  789. Fred says:

    Well, Nadal’s timewasting was perfectly timed. It upset Federer’s momentum and now Nadal has the first set under control. Cheating bastard.

  790. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @Sandeep, It happens far too often when he is down that he uses some distraction tactics. I cannot give you specific examples but it has happened far too often IMO. Fred can help me out here.

    Federer looking a bit physically and mentally tired as the set goes on. I should stop speaking and let Federer play his game.

  791. TonyBee says:

    Goat…you are fucking insane …laugh ..I nearly crapped me self …you is one funny, sick puppy….

    Fred okay mate,

    i do not want to fight with a fellow devil..lemme be calm..

    u cant call him a cheater..

    head to head,

    Nadal 16 – Fedex 8

    i cant recall when was the last time fedex beat Rafa in grand slam final..

    but i m still of the opinion that Fedex is still the best over all tennis player and one of the greatest sports player of all the time..

    yeah and this is a Nadal fan..

    A triple buy-pass hey? Babylon by bus.

    there’s a natural mystic blowing through the air
    if you listen carefully now you will hear
    this could be the first transfer, might as well be the last
    many more will have to offer
    many more will have to die – don’t ask me why

    things are not the way they used to be
    i won’t tell you no lie
    one and all have to face reality now
    ‘tho i’ve tried to find the answer to all the questions they ask
    ‘tho i know it’s impossible to go living through the past
    don’t tell no lie.

    Cedars – It’s raining cats and dogs over here! Enjoy your barbecue mate and try not to cook your sausage lmao!

  799. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @Sandeep, Nobody wants us arguing about tennis on here.

    Neither me nor Fred argued about Nadal’s tennis talent. It’s a bit like Barcelona really. When he plays well, he is probably better than Federer on clay. But when things are not going his way, he demonstrates a distinct lack of sportsmanship (kind of like Barcelona did against RM) like he did in the first set when Federer had all the momentum going for him.

    Anyways, it is best we stop the tennis arguments now.

  800. smartalex says:

    Sneider, Modric and Nasri?

    More like Babble on Buy bust.

  801. RedBloodRed says:

    Valencia is surely a downgrade/decline. Nani is way better.

  802. Saad says:

    Fred loves Spaniards.

  803. willierednut says:

    Saad – I don’t know about that, he didn’t like the FSW, did he?

  804. Fred says:

    I admit I’m just biased against Nadal because I’m a Federer fan. He’s an incredible player, sure, but that doesn’t mean I have to like him. His time-wasting is well-documented. There was a great video on YouTube highlighting his timewasting, including his ridiculous water bottle routine, but I can’t find it now.

  805. Fred says:

    Fred loves Spaniards? I can’t think of a single one I like! LOL Umm… Xavi? He’s okay I suppose.

  806. Cyril Sneer says:

    Is it just me or is Peter Crouch an utter moron? How can he quit England if he wasn’t getting picked anyway? How does that conversation go?

    Crouchy: ‘Fuck you Capello, I quit’
    Cappy: ‘But I wasn’t picking you anyway.’
    Crouchy: ‘Yeah well you can’t now, even if you want to’.
    Cappy: ‘But I don’t want to. You’re shite. Even Bent is better than you.’
    Crouchy: ‘Well… your name means ‘hat’. Fuck you Mr Hat’.
    Cappy: ‘Go away now’.

  807. TonyBee says:

    YEAH FUCK OFF Cedars …you smug so-and-so….. go back to your BBQ babes and boobs/booze.. :lol:

  808. Saad says:

    206 more posts to go, lads…

    I’m bored! :S

  809. StatesideAussie says:

    Bloody. Nasri? Young? Is that our grand plan to beat Barcelona? Not that I think we should have a grand plan to beat Barcelona … not my idea at all. But fuck me, Young and Nasri? And Adam? I can understand Modric. Not sure he’d be my first choice, but I could understand it. I could even understand it Fabregas — wouldn’t agree with it, dislike the guy intensely and don’t know where he’d fit in, but I would get it. But Nasri? Young? Adam? Give me a fucking break, surely that’s a piss-take of the highest order.

    Maybe the boss has really seen something that I fucking haven’t (and let’s face it lads, wouldn’t be the first time!). But to be honest, if Young and Nasri are the names we are chasing, I’d rather (a) save the money, (b) bring our own youngsters through immediately (it’s sink or swim time guys!), (c) get used to the idea that it might be tough to win the the PL over the next few years but we stay in the top three — and in the long term it will all be worth it. I want to keep on winning the league, of course I do. But I don’t want us to throw money at someone else’s young players who aren’t that brilliant anyway and, a year or two from now, will be standing right in the way of our own youngsters.

    But then again Women’s tennis is good now. We’ve got Sharapova, Ana Ivanovic, Caroline Wozniacki and a few other hotties.Ana’s my fave though. Too hot for the tennis court.

    @Saad, Yeah, to many people including me, Sampras’ 14 will always eclipse Federer’s 16 even though Fed is right up there.

  855. StatesideAussie says:

    MG … I am not sure where Ronaldo would fit in these days. He would expect to play pretty much all the time, just like Rooney. And I guess that for the money he would cost, we would expect that too. That would not bode well for either Nani or Tony V (if Ronaldo plays on the wing), or for Hernandez/Berbatov if he plays as a striker. Actually, I thought CR and The Berb played pretty well together, but I don’t see how to play WR and CR all the time and still find enough playing time for Hernandez or The Berb. Even if The Berb left, it would still be a problem for Hernandez. I mean, how many times are we going to play Wr and CR and another striker at once?

    I was lucky enough to spend time in Oz, loved it! Especially the East coast.
    Brisbane has beautiful girls that are very friendly, and a great nightlife. Magnetic Island (just off the Townsville coast) has amazing watersports that cost next to nothing. Frazer Island is an absolute paradise, one of my favourite places in the world. And Cairns couldn’t get rid of me! Diving the Barrier Reef off the Cairns Coast is my most enduring memory. I stayed for a week on a ship 50 miles out to sea on the reef. Incredible! So enjoyable that I did it again, and again. 3 trips to paradise!

  945. Ash says:

    I think following numbers would be assigned
    1- GK (Hopefully De gae)
    2-Rafael
    4-To a new mf or defensive mf
    6-Smalling
    7-Owen may not be given number 7 this time.Maybe Morrison
    12-Cleverley
    18-New mf or maybe tunni or pogba .Wanting our youth academy player get that number
    19-Welbeck.A manchester born lad deserve this number

    Nani said he is not interested in wearing number 7 for us .But Who knows he may wear. Like you said it would do him world of good.Remember vidic he has been our star man after he was given the captaincy.
    Hernandez also has chance but I prefer him as our 14.Lets build a legacy with that number.14 has never been great for us/Alan smith,tosic all have failed but hernandez has been a hit.

  990. dela says:

    Evening everyone.

    With absolutely nothing else to do, I’ve been looking at just about every United video I can find on Youtube. The trip down memory lane just made me realize just how similar Veron and Berba really are.

    1. Hated by many of our own supporters, despite their moments of absolute brilliance.
    2. The media’s favourite scapegoats thanks to their price tags.

    I just hope their United careers don;t end the same way. If there is one difference between the two, playing for United seems to mean a lot more for Berba than it did for Veron. Surely that should count for something?

  991. Clint-IamYourPapii says:

    Eee Yeeesss

  992. TonyBee says:

    999 NEARLY

    costas or TonyBee

  1008. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Sparkz, Think it would be shocking if he pulled it off owens back.
    It is on Owen’s back because Owen is a senior and steady hand. Might do to give it to Danny when Owen leaves, but not this year. Lot’s of people thought it should go to Nani. Think it is clear why that didn’t happen. If Rooney were truly settled you might put the him as 7 and then think about what to do with the 10. Now that might be interesting as well. Really needs to wait a year to see what Wellbeck does back in the frame, but you might keep that thought. Cheers.

    @dela

    You are right about Veron and Berb. Another similarity is that Macari hated both of them… I liked Seba. It’s a pity he got sold when he did, because imo he could have made a difference in 03-04.
