Good morning world.

I agree and I disagree. Yes I think we have some wondewrful talent coming through at the minute. Not quite ready.

Lets fast forward to say CL Semi final against madrid/Barca/Milan/the Shits..whoever. Tevez let go and no replacement in the summer. Ronnie suspended. We go into that game with KIKO and Danny up front? Who would we have on the bench as back up? Huge risk.

I think next season should be a learning season for Kiko and Danny with more games and told that they are the starting League cup forwards, told that they are to go and win it again for us. Before Christmas I would have said that Danny was the better of the two. But since then Kiko has really come along. They are both going to get bigger physically and I think in a couple of seasons could be regular 1st choices up front.

Haven’t we signed some 16yrs old Brazlian and nicked a French “wonderkid” from under Arshole’s nose recently. We have the serbian boy Lljanic coming next season and he does look good, put these along with the youngsters coming through like Petrucci, Morrison, Josh King,
James, Cleverly etc. The futurte looks great.

English by birth UNITED by the GRACE of GOD!!!!!!!

In these times of ludicrous money being discussed for so-called established talent I can only echo the sentiment of this excellent article.
United have a tradition in playing the youthfully exuberent ranks. Fergies fledglings proved that age is absolutely no barrier to the ability to win. A great team is more than the sum of its parts and that is why Citeh will have an assembly of mercenaries who have no affiliation of any worth other than the weekly paycheck that lured them to wastelands in the first place. It is HEART that wins the big prize and if your heart aint in it….
Welbeck for one has all the Heart in the world when it comes to Manchester United – a true Red from Salford who would be living the dream and fighting every time he put on the shirt to keep his and our dream alive.
Lets do it, lets use this season to give the likes of Danny Wellbeck and Kiko lots of opportunity to prove they are not the future but the present United greats.
Bank the Ronaldo money, save the Tevez fee and put it all to use in developing the youth project – imagine what an investment of 100million pounds now would reap in 5 years time, 10 years time , 15years time and beyond……
Arm Giggs, Neville , Solskjaer and Scholes with full backing and financing to set up the future of our great club. They have all been brought through the ranks and have the sort of expeerience that is unique to Manchester United and not available to any other club in the world, They have done everything possible within a Football club from boyhood through manhood and now beyond.
The chinese have what they call 1000 year old stock. Each time they cook up a new batch of stock they put in a little of the last pot so that there is always something from the original stock pot recipe going back a thousand years. This should be Uniteds strategy to continue the best of our stock being the flavour of our future for ever and ever.
We will never tire of the sweet taste of victory and will always hate the bitter taste of defeat. Now is the time to dwarf everyones spending. Not on overpriced players like they value Ribery and others, they are good but they are nowhere near value for money. Lets not spend a fortune lets invest one.

@stretford @corea – I live in germany and Dzeko has been one of the surprises of the season- I wouldn´t call him an out and out striker though he played more of a roaming role just in front of the midfield (as Berba did at Leverkusen). He is a good player though and worth 10 million of anybodys money… The only prob with players from the bundesliga is their fitness, they only play about 40-45 games a year and have a 5-6 weeks break over Christmas and the new year…

my views precisely Scot!
I think our sub-18 players are probably the most talented bunch going around in the premiership, maybe even Europe. We have to give them the time in the first eleven to get the best out of them and take complete advantage of our stunningly aggressive youth policy.
The future in my opinion, belongs to clubs who can spot the right talent at a young age and manage to keep hold of it for long. With the Kaka’s and Ronaldo’s of the world costing as much as they are, and the plethora of clubs who can afford them, the competition is too hot for everyone to keep delving into the transfer market.
In the 90s only 3 or 4 clubs could have afforded spending 30-40 million pounds on a single player! Madrid, Barcelona and Milan could hence afford to stay at the top even if they didn’t produce great players from their backyard everytime.
But now apart from just those three, we have added ourselves, Chelsea, ManCity to the mix, and more clubs could join, for example Portsmouth.
If we are to stay ahead of the competition we have to take risks like giving Welbeck, Macheda and the Da Silva twins a go.
I guess Fergie is thinking along these very lines, which is why we are the only top European club who are yet to be linked with a mega money move for a huge star.
Neither the manager or the CEO have even hinted at anything, unlike at Chelsea, Citeh, Madrid or Milan.
I think all signs point toward this, and if things continue like this, in terms of pricing of football talent, there is going to be a seismic shift of power in the footballing world

I’m surprised to find that my opinion on here differs from most, I actually rate Kiko a lot higher than Danny… Oh well, who the F knows.
