Sir Alex Ferguson has reflected on how Manchester United went about getting Nick Powell to join us this summer.
“We sent people to see him a few times after he started scoring a few goals,” he told the official site. “He actually first came on our radar a few years ago when he played against our youth team. But we watched him seriously from February. Mike Phelan went to see him a few times and so did our chief scout, Jim Lawlor. My brother Martin also went to see him against Torquay before I went for myself, with Mike, when Crewe played Aldershot. We were thinking things over. We’d seen a few other Premier League clubs there at the game – Everton, somebody from Arsenal, somebody from Chelsea, they were very keen on Nick, so we thought it was best to set the wheels in motion. When Mick and I went to watch Nick we came away and I said: ‘He’s definitely a player. There’s no doubt about that.’ We thought that if we waited until the play-offs the secret would be out, so to speak. All the TV cameras would be focussed on him and it might alert a few other clubs. Mind you, there were already quite a few interested. As well as Arsenal and Chelsea, we knew Manchester City were keeping tabs on him as well. So I phoned [Crewe director of football] Dario Gradi, told him we were keen and we started negotiating. We sorted the deal with the chairman and agreed we’d leave it until after the play-off finals. It was all in place a good 10 days beforehand. Nick’s agent told Nick after the match and then he came up to my house the next day and we got the deal done.”
Man Utd News 24/7
Come On SAF get Moura or another midfielder … and a good left back cover for evra
we also beat madrid to bebe. i wish him well but……..just saying.
Very good buy …..
‘There’s no doubt about that.’
Fergie needs to sign one of Dembele, Modric, Sahin
Forget about Moura. Complete waste of money if its more than £25m
Blackett looks promising and can cover Evra. Why waste £16m on Baines!!!
Triveluss says:
we also beat madrid to bebe. i wish him well but……..just saying.
hahahahahahahahaha…
Would love to have seen us go in for schweinsteiger but his recent injury issues seem to be never ending. I don’t think we need Moura unless Nani is leaving, I’m happy with our wingers. If you look at the games we lost last year (City home & away) we were over ran in CM. I guess only SAF knows if a fit Clevs and Ando can do the job! Still think we will get a Striker and one more.
Ferg don’t leave out the kid(Moura)
to he’s like man when meet
a gal he don’t know her but
attracted by the physical apearance
Man I am very happy to see bebe has become so famous that in every thread his name pops in. Keep it up.
friveluss- Have you ever seen powell play or are you just here to wind up.
This shows how sought after young Nick was. I fully expect him to make an impact of some form during this season, he has real talent.
so?
@AntiScouser
So it’s clear that he’s DEFINITELY going to go on to become one of the best players in the country. Really soon. No, right at the start of the season. On the first game of the season, he’ll prove himself as the best player in the country. No, no actually, best player in the world.
And Chelsea, City and Arsenal will all be so distraught at missing out on him that they won’t turn in any good performances this season. We’ll win the treble, with Powell scoring 40 goals from midfield and winning the Balon D’or at the end of the season.
That’s what I infer from this post.
That’s what you wanted to hear, right? So you can carry on telling yourself that everyone else is a clueless optimist and you’re the only person with a ‘realistic’ bone in your body.
Rather than just a grumpy, negative, boring prick.
Welcome home Nick.You are at the right place at the right time and if only you do the right things,then your career is poised to be decorated with trophies.Well done Sir Alex.Give me a player who candidly has his heart set on playing for Man United over the growing number of leeches masquerading as players.
Having said that, i dont reckon any one of you can blame Hazard,he was only following his dreams but went one step better and rented them.
Long live United!!!!!!!
Nick Powell’s gonna b running tingz
kanchelskis
Very well said. Nick is going to be the next big thing.
Antiscouser
I could have called you a cunt but you lack the warmth and the depth as well.
We sure know how to poach young english boys
Lets hope the lad has a successful spell with Utd, or face the wrath of ending up in the reserves and then sold elsewhere… Read that Moura’s (CUNT) agent is going to keep negotiating despite his claim yesterday the deal was off with Utd since the lad is interested to move, only need to sort the price and terms, but I believe we need to secure a left back as well quickly, since that spot is still in doubt should Evra get injured
I don’t understand why some people are so negative. I still remember when we lost ramsey to arsenal there were some people here who said we missed a big thing, Sir alex is shit etc etc and now we sign a talented english lad and some fuckers are reacting like he is shit.
So the lucas talk is again beginning. His agent is a prick it seems.
Ash
I think we need to ignore such people. Powell is a great signing. Mate I asked this on previous thread, Have you visited The Manchester United bar in Delhi?
@Ash
Football agent? A prick?! Surely some mistake…
Pretty sure I posted this on the last thread. Just goes to show what a cunt Sir Alex is. Travelling to lower league matches week in week out at the ripe old age of 70 and securing the best Enhlish talent ahead of our rivals!! What a cunt. More on Moura..
@AnnieEaves: There could be real progress, and even a new bid, today on Lucas Moura to Manchester United. Yesterday quotes hit … http://t.co/FCZEPslJ
Harish
Sorry must have missed that. No I have not visited that. I think it is Vasant kunj. I have watched manchester united matches with friends but not in Bar.
kanchelskis
Prick must be a small word for the agents. They are more than that.
I have visited and have to say it is good. Anyways it is good to see Lucas deal still on
Can the boss also explain how did he loose on Eden Hazard to Chelsea?
It would be good to see if scott does a live blog for today’s game. He used to do it.
I’m fed up with all this moura talk and talk he’s a winger??? Y o y do we want another one! Tie down nani, sign martinez of AB solid defensive mid and gives extra cover at the back, and get christain erikson of Ajax and please don’t sign RVP tottal waste of money more so if we do field a 4231.
http://fourfourtwo.com/blogs/fourfourtwoview/archive/2012/07/25/robin-van-persie-joins-manchester-united-and-man-city-juventus-and-chelsea.aspx?
For those who like Football manager and for cedars ofcouse.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKDi3RNZ3q4&feature=related
Great goals by Rooney.
Lol is only Fergie could haver done the same for the likes of Hazard, Nasri, Silva etc
nick is definately one for the future.he’s going to make it big here
Too many rigid one dimensional people. “He’s a winger, we don’t need him”. United aren’t as strong on the wing as you make out, valencia and nani are the two best wing men at the club, always a place for a player like moura who has the capabilities and potential to surpass both. Besides, he’s more an attacking midfielder, which shows his adaptability. I’ve always said, if an opportunity to snap up an outstanding player comes up, then you fucking pick them up. moura may not be an absolute priority but his potential is obviously enough to convince FERGIE.
@samuel
True about rigidity. But I think there’s also an element of embarrassment at having a ‘bloated’ squad, which has never been the United way.
Truth is, to compete with the likes of City, it may become necessary to have what looks like a squad with ‘too much’ top talent. Out of their four strikers for example – each one of them – IMO – would start in any other PL team apart from United.
So having Young, Nani, Moura (all of whom can play centrally too) as well as Valencia, would be no bad thing.
I can see what FERGIE instantly saw in powell. He oozes rare class on the ball. Confident and assured, technically outstanding. On the way to becoming a top class midfielder. I’m not suprised all these clubs were after him. Although city would go after anyone united want, fucking cunts.
@kanchelskis
Completely uncalled for, but it speaks volumes about the parochial and impertinent nobody that you are.
@Red Tash
How would you know what a cunt is when you’ve been sucking cocks all your life?
Hope Nick comes good
AntiScouser says:
“Completely uncalled for”
Nobody else seemed to think so.
And as for calling someone ‘impertinent’ before telling someone else he’s been ‘sucking cocks’ all his life. I can only assume the irony was deliberate.
“he’s definitely a player”!!
Kanchelskis – i would never complain about an embarrassment of riches. You never have enough quality and you can’t ever stop improving. United potentially play a lot more games in a season, players will play and the best will be regulars. We’ll have top class players fighting for their place and that means we see improvements on the pitch. We don’t want players relaxing and chilling. As you say, united would potentially have a collection of great wingers, you need all you can to compete.
kanchelskis, => AntiScouser, well said, cheers!!
@ ji sung says: Lol if only Fergie could haver done the same for the likes of Hazard, Nasri, Silva..
Nope, disagree completely. With the exception of Silva, don’t want those leeches anywhere near our dressing room!!
@samuel
The drawbacks are obvious though.
1. Disenchantment. Difficult to keep a large squad of top-quality players happy.
2. Youth. How dismal must life as a City / Real youth player be? You know that unless you’re something really special at a young age, you don’t stand a chance at that club. Look at the young players we’ve shown trust in down the years. Fletcher, O’Shea, even the young G Nev who had nowhere near the technical quality of his peers. What would it do to the mindset of Jesse Lingard or Larnell Cole seeing Young, Nani, Moura, Valencia, Kagawa, Cleverley and Anderson all lined up in front of them?
Sure Nick will be a star.
How can Moura be a waste of money before he’s signed?!?
Everyone is a waste of money unless thy justify it.
If we sign him and he’s quality you’ll change our tune. All the abu’s used to call Ronnie a waste of moolar…. Oooooohhhhhhhhh.
ESPNSoccernet
#MUFC team to face Shanghai Shenhua:
Lindegaard; Veseli, Ferdinand, Carrick, Brady; Anderson, Powell, Kagawa, Petrucci, Valencia; Macheda.
Team for today.
Nick will do well for us but would have been better in Slytherin.
anti fuck off.
HELLO!!!!!!!! NP, Nick Powell POW, BANG, BOOM!!!!!!!!
uP AT 5:45 AM FOR THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!
I REKON NIKS GUNA B FOOKING WIKED
Anti is part of the 3% who have a 2 inch penis, 3 inches when hard. There is a new known fact by marketing companies these small cock men act like a big cock on line. FYI
Yep. Spending giants.
any links for the game lads?
Yep! That’s AntiScouser, Zibster!
Let’s go. Good pick – United XI v Shanghai: Lindegaard, Veseli, Ferdinand, Carrick, Brady, Anderson, Powell, Kagawa, Petrucci, Valencia & Macheda. @ManUtdStuff on Twitter
Costas, forget the Everton game, Carrick is the CB today.
“What would it do to the mindset of Jesse Lingard or Larnell Cole seeing Young, Nani, Moura, Valencia, Kagawa, Cleverley and Anderson all lined up in front of them?”
hopefully it shows them their club winning things while they learn and get gametime in cups
Interesting line up. Carrick already in defence this season.
3 lions , Justin TV has a few to chose from. Go to live sport, drop down soccer.
Interesting to see how petrucci plays today. Hopefully he puts in a superb effort.
Willie from now all, ABU’s have SDS ,,, small dick syndrome.
3% = 3 inch hard on.
3 lions on a blog…….looking for some streaming.
carrick spraying balls around in the quater back roll the way i spray tescoes finest cava at da weekendz
K.O time anybody ???????
danny, I to look forward to watching him play, late last year he capt. the reserves to winning everything. He and Kiko formed a good understanding, we should see that on display today. He has a smooth languid style, and flow to his game. Davide just might make the first team, can play all MF positions and in the hole as well.
The new look of 3-5-2?????
thanks zibbie mate
says, play harder. Take the opportunity given by SAF and play there asses off. Fuck a good player thieves on competition, how many wings Real, Shity, Chelski and Barca have??? wow some fucking stupid ass people ever play a sport. .
Any Link please
http://www.ronaldo7.net/live/manchester-united-vs/watch-manchester-united-live-stream.html
lads when is this game kicking off?
6 minutes Papii
Thank you ash
It is a good link. Working great. Thanks very much mate
Sam @ 12:09
Any chance we could direct a rumour over to the council house. The rumour is Utd have offered 35 million for Heskey. Mankini would be in there like a flash offering 36 million
Auntie
Do you ever have a good word to say about anything? Thank god I don’t sit near you at OT you probably moan for 90 mins+ Fergie time.
Can’t really comment on Powell never really seen much of him except for Utube clips. Lets hope SAF and his scouts are right.
Huge roar when Chcho’s name was said in sub. Alreadya a legend in many parts.
Haha. Ex-City player says RVP should go to United.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18982554
da link didnt work for me
FUCCCKKKKK. I need to watch this game. I’m at work thinking of a way to sneak out.
Abomb try the Justin TV thing!
danny espn 3
Brady has skill for 18
The quality on TV is horrible… I’m used to watching MUFC in HD quality.
The curse of Manchester United just hovered over Powell.
Morning your dip shits!!!
Finally we’re talking the same lingo
How the rentboys approached the transfer market after they missed out on nick, they have so far signed more than 5wingers this season
Wonder if they gonna get game
The dugout might have a lot of newbies this term to pick their noses and packet the millions and fuck off
Well our boys are playing today and it seems like the match has kicked off already
GGMU!!!!
GGMU!!!
Kagawwwa!!
I’m at work so aren’t going to risk and see the game
But will hopefully get it on a repeat l8er. GO BOYS!!!!
What’s the Line-up??? Anyone???
Poor pass from Anderson nearly left powell effed up
Anderson is so tubby is ridiculous….I’m better shape than him, he’s got a double chin, a fat arse, fat legs …he runs and walks like a upset penguin.
Jesus H Christ ….he needs to be on a diet !
Carrick is playing as a defender?
More Chins then a Chinese phone book!
yes
What a miss by Nick Powell… He timed his run perfectly.
Brady is defo a winger…looks odd at Left back, doesn’t look as reactive going backwards.
FUCKING HELL NICK !
Score ! FFS
what a bebe !
Ka-pow.
any other links? the one above I cannot download at work. If not, please keep the updates coming! Thanks Reds!
so boring!
damnnn Nick!!
http://www.ilemi.me/19483/2/Watch-Shanghai-Shenhua-vs-Manchester-United/
Someone for live commentary instead of talking to yourselves?????
Petrucci is playing really well so far. future midfield pairing with cleverley maybe?
This has been the pattern of United throughout the tour so far: back pass, side pass, miss pass. No tempo and no pace. A true borefest.
When the season gets underway and players are more in shape….Kagawa will scoring that opportunity and so will Powell….rustiness is showing….just look at Anderson.
A big blue bus is parked in the 18 yard box, so far looks like a pre-season game.
These guys have decided to park the bus
Vesli Jerry looks better today
Thanks Tobbs!
Yes, they parked the bus but we decided to misplace most of our passes.
MUFC has 2 good keepers, a plus in the PL.
We also have very little width, which makes easier for them to defend
There are more United fans than the local fans
Kagawa has drifted deeper to get involved. That has helped the ball flow.
The crowd is in Red a MUFC home game, they are loud and happy!!!
Rio up field now tilting the field in MUFC favor.
How boring is the game
I hear that thers a lot of miss placed passes
Is that anderson contributing on doing it or just him
game is begging for a goal. GET ONE BOYS!!!!
Kiko doing well, strong, active good hold up play. Has turned and not quit got it yet in 3 tries, Good save By Lindy!
shanghai has adapted the chelsea way
Andy is OK not great, he is coaching Powell a lot.
i think kiko looks pretty awful actually. one decent turn aside hes done nothing except lose the ball
I love blow jobs, just saying.
Somebody get a Bromide Tea for Zibbie.
HAZ has his ideas on Kiko and eye have mine. For U to decide.
Papii does that help with gas?
87% of all statistics are mostly false.
Let’s not forget the point of the pre season is to get the lads fit and make the club money,no point in assessing it from a football point of view most of the opposition is arse in the first place
haha true, but he honestly isnt good enough to make it at utd. we are fielding a decent amount of first teamers and some youth, but shanghai are playing a second string team and we’re still looking pretty bad.
barring nani and berba, we have no flair in the team. hopefully kagawa brings some, but we need that ooomph factor.
Bebe is under-rated…what was that that? Great Pass !
Somebody should call a wrecker and tow that blue bus,,,
Kagawa looking smooth there. Macheda should have scored
Am very glad we were able to get nick Powell but we need a central midfielder!
I like this Paddy guy.
Kagawa deserves to play with someone who can finish something
On a normal matchday only FOUR players would start in this line-up. and one of them is being played out of position. Oh and how did you come to the conclusion that this is a second string shanghai team? you watch the chinese league day in day out? Oh just because they don’t have drogba and Anelka? child please.
Much better in the 2nd half, a big applause for Scholes warming up.
Fuck down Diego, easy boy, pre fucking season, cill pill ot chronic for U
Kagawa the best player on the pitch by far
DAMN Hernandez is huge in shanghai. LOL. massive ovation when he came on.
Kagawa is absolutely BRILLIANT. I am salivating at the thought of rooney latching on to those balls. Ohhh man. Goals Galore.
Just stating the obvious
Bebe to Kagawa!!!!
Kagawa is class, he already looks like he’s playing at a level above those around him. Can’t wait to see play with more of the first team players around him. Utd overall don’t look like they’ve got any rhythm going, which is no surprise as this team has hardly played together. Just as I’m typing KAGAWA scores, well played son.
Bebe the Saviour
Never thought I’d say this ever 
I’ve been waiting a while to do this:
KAAAHHGAWWAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Goal by Shinji
fair play to bebe though. the lads been a menace ever since he’s come on! good for you son!
Valencia looking lazy today, he definitely went to see me love u long time girls last night
It baffles me that Bebe is on our team. He is absolutely hopless and has no touch on the ball. I understand that Pogba might have wanted to go other places, but it feels really sad to keep Bebe and lose Pogba. We should at least brought Cofie on the tour and given him experience.
Other than that its pre season, all bout marketing the team and giving the players some other faces to train against, so they dont get tired of eachother. The teams they have played this year have been really poor. I guess we will know a bit more in Gothenburg.
KAGAWAAAA!!! the icing on the cake for a superb second half showing so far.
Kagawa is awesomme
Can you just imagine if Bebe came good? I know it’s still wishful thinking at this stage. But after all the intense speculation around his transfer, and all the shit that’s been thrown his way, his rotten luck with his injury last year, can you just imagine if in a couple of years’ time he was a United starter? Would fucking love that.
Bebe reminds me of a Young Cristiano !
Bebe 1 goal, one assist, 2 games, class!!!!!!
Bebeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! To
KagawwwwwwwwwwwwWw!!!!!
Hi ROM! Just got back in time to watch the last half an hour of the match.
And in that time, the first thing I’ve noticed is “How comfortable does Tunnicliffe look with the ball at his feet?” He wants the ball all the time and he actually is comfortable taking it forward and fining players. I am really, really excited to see him more. Is he the reason why we haven’t signed a mid-fielder yet?
Not exactly setting the tour alight with our goalscoring prowess, are we? Still, glad that Kagawa’s opened his unofficial account.
On second thought, it would be nice if we broke loose, oh I dont know, let’s say, on 8th August!
Diego to U not us, fuck I’m just stating the obvious, your a tool.
Kagawa looks a really intelligent player. Can’t wait to see him beside Rooney. Anderson still not up to mark, still that 1 place in midfield that looks up for grab
Bebe has looked pretty darn good in this match in my humble opinion.
Bebe taking all covers!
Players that have impressed me in this boring Tour have been;
Lingard, Tunnicliffe, Petrucci Slightly, Kagawa,Bebe & Scholes.
Paul Scholes misses a sitter. Fucking sell the old knob!
I don’t know why Bebe gets such a bad rap. Do I think he is United quality? Maybe not right now. But I don’t think he is the utter crap of a player he’s made out to be also. He does have some really raw talent. The kind you find on some street kids who’ve made playing football their life, which Bebe most certainly has. I think he deserves to be given some time to sharpen some of that rawness like Ronaldo was given. Not wise to write him off when he hasn’t even been trained properly.
28 watch the game and U would know why!
Oh Bebe.
I cannot believe bebe is making you swallow humble pies, you streetkid haters
Bebe>>>> Nani…just saying….hahaha
Papii, I don’t know why but I find it funny you’ve included Scholes in that list.
Cantona get me here, I definitely agree. He’s still most certainly raw in a lot of aspects. By raw I mean that you can see some quality there but it is not mixed with the kind of fluency of movement you would expect from someone who was trained in the academy. But “do not write him off” would be my advice.
Bebe and Paul are bossing the game right now.
“Streetkid haters”.
Bebe all up on the corners. “Paaandemic. I got that paandemic” … “Got that WMD”
Bebe bossing the game????????
!!!!!
Kwakwakwa!!!!
Go boy!!!
Show hem ABU’s
At this rate, Nani, Young and Welbeck better work hard or Bebe will be starting in place of them =p
(!! street kid haters!!! Bebe a great human intrest story, from the street and his parents abandon him, nuns get him in an orphanage. From the street to MUFC in 3 years!!! Oh but so fucking funny to dis his 1st touch. Danny at the club since 9, loving parents. wow some fucking people. Think he might have like 24,352 drills to make up!?! His instinct is awesome, a fast brain with fast feet and a bruiser to boot!
Scholes playing like he is 19!! Going on 20!!!!!!!
Told you all about what Kagawa will do………….
Costas
Pissed my self reading that, Giggs12 must be ashamed ! ha ha ha
Bebe: a more direct Antonio Valencia.
Awesome!
Relax folks. It’s a friendly in Asia. You know. The kind of game that once saw Barthez play outfield.
What’s more important is that the likes of Nani, Rooney, Welbeck, Young, Jones and Vidic will join the main squad soon.
Yeah you know Costas those little cunts out of Oliver Twist,the fuckers will be having a field day separating the tourists from their wallets through the Olympics
@Cedars
He should pal. He’s the one that started all the street kid hating in here right before he started telling kids that Santa didn’t exist. What an evil soul.
Oh lets go out on a limb and say a Street Kid probably wont be a MUFC legend!! Fuck if he is in pro football in 3 years WHAT A FUCKING SUCCESS!!!!!!!
@wayne
Another hater then.
@Costas
LoL, I remember that. We were 6 or 7 up and Barthez was desperate to join in the fun.
BEBE TO START AGAINST EVERTON. how was Bebe not nominated for best player in Europe award?
I was also wondering if Rooney and co. would join the group on the European leg of the tour? come on at least they can play the last two games maybe? they need some action. Everton is a FAR from easy place to go.
COSTAS !!! WHAT IS THIS SANTA SHIT!!!????????
SAY IT AINT SO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Epic zibbie, epic indeed
Sad that I could not watch the game
Today will not watch the repeat, my parents will be watching the olympics, my streaming is fucking terrible
But just hearing that bebe bossed the shangs makes my day
The guy can whack a shot
I would personally really like to see that fella’ Fellaini donning the United shirt next season.
i actually think bebe has more dribbling to his game than a valencia who is pure direct. impressed again
Well I know this is just Shanghai Shenhua, but there were quite a few eye catching performances out there..
Kagawa is well on his way to becoming a United star…some of the stuff he does, you cant teach that..
Nick Powell looks a real player…not afraid to put his boot in, making tackles, passing it around and doing everything with a swagger that says he belongs at this level…nice!
Tunnicliffe looks a beast of a man…his powerful driving runs and covering when defending against counter-attacks looked good
Lingard is a clever and determined so-n-so in the words of paddy
But the star man has to be Bebe…he was looking for the ball, driving at defenders, dribbling, passing and crossing accurately and had a few very decent shots on target. His accuracy was better than Nani today
Lets just hope he can draw even more confidence and keep this up because he certainly has the skills and physique (he’s a monster of a human being!) and we have a fairytale on our hands!
Again, not getting carried away though, it was just shenhua…but HOPE springs eternal !
What combo?????
Valencia
BEBE. Kagawa. nani
ROONEY
Balaji –
If Scholes stood there and scratched his balls it would impress me
I have a completely biased view towards the man, when he got sent off for killing Zabaleta in the FA Cup, I was proud, I love him….typical Scholes with the Fire rumbling in his belly.
Is it me or is Tunnicliffe going to be a star ! Ball winner and covers a lot of ground, not afraid to shoot and has the ability to pass about. Looks like Fletcher’s replacement is here !
Petrucci isn’t at his level yet and Lingard is quality but a year or so away…perhaps loan spells will help.
Macheda + Bebe deserve a shot !
Didn’t see much of Nick Powell….hope to see more though !
The raw materials for bebe to develop are there.. patience is what is needed. kagawa was the best player though. superb attacking playmaking midfielder.
Red Dev in DaHouse after a sabadical to cleans his soul of ABU’s on RoM!!!!!!!!
clint – tunni always impresses me. he has the power and energy to be the box to box midfielder that people crave. very composed and confident on the ball.. I’ve said he’ll step up this season.
Kagawa class of the field why he was on the pitch, off to get Mom, take her for her hair apt, then have lunch.
I’AM A BEBE WHEN IT COMES TO MY MOMMA!! Mommas boy BBL!!!!!
WE WANT MOURA!!!
WE WANT MOURA!!!
WE WANT MOURA!!!
WE WANT MOURA!!!
WE WANT MOURA!!!
WE WANT MOURA!!!
how the fuck is bebe a street kid anyway? why are you bothered about his private life?
RedDevil
You’re righy about Bebe lacking in confidence. He must have been so overawed coming to United with all the greats at training etc. He is looking more relaxed and as you say confident. He actually looked quite good!
I didn’t watch the lad
But certainly looking forward to it
Bebe I portuguese means babe, so
Really looking forward to seeing my babe entertain the ABU’s and make them realize that they farced their certificate for being a journo
Cheers mates..
Robbo
Confidence plays a big part at this level mate…
Look the kid is a physical specimen, height power, strength -so physically raw materials are there…
Playing on the streets brings a determination and skills on the ball (usually) and the dribbling on several ocassions and especially in the reserves a couple of seasons ago showed that…
He was scoring for fun in the reserves and playing well when i had more time for watching MUTV.
So as I say, lets give him some time, some confidence and see where it goes…I mean we’ve already paid the money for him…give him a fair chance and see where it goes..we haven’t got anything to lose have we
911 little confused mate,thought yesterday said you had a wife and job and were moving to Miami now saying can’t watch the replay because your parents will be watching the Olympics?
Maybe you’re confusing me with redDevil I think
Wayne
You really like sticking into my skin, please don’t read my comments with a critic view
Have I done anything wrong to you??
If you want the answer about the real dregs
I were referring to sneijder and sahin buddy
Red devil – i concur with your bwords. he definitely got overawed in his first season. all the ability is there to succed at the very top. Those that learn their technique off the streets tend play with more imagination and bebe certainly has that.
zibbie – you’ve turned into a cheerleader mate hA!. chanting for moura already
911 my bad I got you mixed up with 310,yeah your comment on Utd signing Real dregs fucking bugged me because it was complete and utter nonsense and you’re still trying to spin it which also pisses me off,you said Utd sign Real dregs not Utd have bid on Real dregs and nether WS or Sahin can be considered dregs,I still don’t know what the fuck you were going on about
Really nice story from Sir Alex. Love to see a book on all the deals done in the Boss’s flat.
Tittle: The Kitchen Govner, where the power lies in Manchester
Clint, Cheers mate. Tunni could be amazing. People have compared him favorably with Keane at this stage and thinks could go well for the lad. At the very least he could be a solution to the loss of Fletcher as we move forward. Early doors, but a right prospect.
G’day All
Better day today with the eye – a little calmer so far
So Bebe is finally finding himself – interesting – could SAF finally have unearthed a gem?
Only to see the bloody faces of those idiots…
Have we signed anyone yet? I hope the gaffer is watching the woman’s football
19
Viva MG
I think I was away. What did you do to your eye?
Nick could be our holding mid that we so desperately need!

The main thing missing from Bebe’s game is an awareness of his team-mates. If anything, he’s too direct and too focussed on beating his man ! Doesn’t that sound like the criticism levelled against players like Nani or even CR7 ?
“He actually first came on our radar a few years ago when he played against our youth team. But we watched him seriously from February. Mike Phelan went to see him a few times and so did our chief scout, Jim Lawlor. My brother Martin also went to see him against Torquay before I went for myself, with Mike, when Crewe played Aldershot.”
So, let’s get this straight – UTD had had this kid on the radar for “a few years ago”. That means that they didn’t learn about him from TheSun or TheMirror – gasp !

Cutting the long and epic story short it was found to be a retinal hole happens to people who suffer from myopic vision – short sightedness

You’re on the money mate….his lack of awareness..
Some people are born with it but it can definitely be improved with the right coaching and as you gain maturity….maybe Scholesy can work some of his magic while coaching him.
Although in the case of Bebe, its almost understandable, that you’ve just come in from the streets to Manchester United of all places and want to impress everyone and end up overdoing it by trying to beat too many players…again, that will improve with time and as he gets the confidence and belief from his team-mates…
Hell Nani still has some of that in his game yet…that over-eagerness to please with the ball.
Of course as I say, it was just Shenhua Shanghai, but the quality of opposition has little to do with shooting accuracy or his physical strength. Besides, we’re all raving about Kagawa and Lingard and the other young players, based on their performances against exactly the same pre-season teams.
So not to get carried away, but I’d still like to think that Carlos Queiroz and Sir Alex were not total mugs to sign this guy for the kind of money they did….they must have seen something…

Hi mate, If you’re reading this, I’ve left a post on the other thread “Fergie’s attack on fans” that you may just want to go through.
We fended off Chelsea, Cty, Arsenal & Chelsea and anybody knows why ? Simples…. because the boy didn’t want to join a project like for ex: Eden Hazard. The boy wanted to join Manchester United !!!
Any other comments are a waste of space.
is the fact we beat the others tp sign this player supposed to make us feel good? epic fail. another poor offseason
