    I m not SAF, not trainer…not the smartest guy on the planet but in univerese yes :-)
    Buying Modric would be mistake…like i said Modric played in Dinamo Zagreb, i m fom Zagreb, Croatia…i was watching him….and i dont think he is player we need. Alen Halilovic 16yo or Mateo Kovacic 19 yo are better players and better invested money. Alen is maybe too young, but Mateo is ready…he s got all we need in the middle. Lot of scouts watching him. ARSENAL offered 11 mil €. Dinamo s boss said: thank you for your offer, but you just offended us, so please leave the staduim :-)
    But believe me, our boss Zdravko Mamic wi sell him for biggest price he can sell. Levy is little baby for Zdravko Mamic, best negotiator have ever seen

    Modric found his level at Spurs, simple as that. Always said he was average and has been found out at Madrid.

  3. Wee Toms Ligaments says:

    Does United need another CM? If Anderson and Fletcher are healthy, there is not a need.

    Only thing lacking at the moment is a more performing cover for Carrick when he is rested.

  4. Rd5454 says:

    Agree Just very strange why so many people think modric are great including sir Alex and special one ,I sure he doesn’t better than Tom .

    lil pea is just addicted to goals. welbz will really have to work on his finishing

  6. Ash says:

    Tunnicliffe should be send on loan. He is 20 and needs to play more games at this stage. He has a bright future and I hope he establishes himself here at united.

  7. fergie is the boss says:

    Wee Toms Ligaments – united do need another CM, to help out cleverly and carrick, heck I think we are short of 3 defenders, because of the ages of ferdinand vidic, and evra, and adding depth to the backline. Because I do not think we have great backups if we took out evans evra and carrick

  8. parryheid says:

    Yes we do,both Fletcher and the dud need replaced unlikely Fletcher will ever be fit enough unfortunatel.As for the dud he never at any time has been fit.

    I am not sure what or how the squad can be strengthen… Currently, I am only seeing the offensive part being the strongest since Ronaldo left. The rest of the squad is still in bad shape. The midfield is not holding well enough at times and open too much space for attacks and the defense is like having a large hole in the middle of the wall.

    Although I understand why some fans took a swipe at our players and why some tried to defend them, but sometimes I can’t help thinking what has happen to the talent they have and what is wrong with them. We had the talents, United gave them good wages and benefits, we had world class players but somehow after years of playing together as one team, we still had so much problems with performing at a decent rate. At times, United looks like a tiger chasing its prey and at times, we look like a sick n unmotivated tiger taunted n disturbed by a lesser predator and at times we look liked an almost lifeless and dead tiger. With the talent and wages paid to the players, United should be performing well with at least 70% above average performance. However, over the last few years, I am looking United as if they are F1 Ferrari which is drove by one of the best driver but having a car engine which is under-perform. We have the talents but the whole engine is not working.

    Now, I am a very concern fan who do not know how to defend our players anymore. At times, I question what is the use of buying players with such a high price tag when perhaps United could get someone who has less talent but a good work rate and can constantly getting the job done. I also don’t know where would United stand if not for RVP and attacking co (inclusive of our defensive players who score). I know injury has hampered our progress but I just could not accept that just cause we lose 1 or 2 players, the whole team is like a jigsaw puzzle that couldn’t fit anymore. Where are the other pieces that we had as spare?

    I don’t like to blame the players and manager but at the current stage, are we back to the stage where we need to rebuild half or the whole squad? Are we at the stage where our master chef SAF is losing his ability to taste for the correct recipe? If United is a big corperation in the business world, such inconsistency would have led to the worst outcome that Donald Trump would just say,’ you’re fired’. I can’t say how much torment for SAF to find the correct tonic for his team current performance but I am not sure what can be done anymore as SAF mentioned before not knowing what to do with the defense. If United as a team do not find back the motivation and their own self, we might go back again to last years sadness. The 7 points now is nothing but a small comfort behind the danger that lurk behind the whole squad. I supposed everyone realized how much the wind of changes could twist the whole BPL saga. I pray that the team can stand firm through this tough time and finding what they are capable of.

    yet another case of everyone bending over for the murderers.
    Love hearing some of defending was Suarez’s actions!! It’s the ref’s job to spot it. I think Ashley Young should dive to win a penalty on Sunday and say, “not my fault, it’s for the ref to spot….”

  16. zigoo says:

    messi won it…cristiano looks pissed as hell hehehehe

    come back home son,u only won it here,and can continue to win it here!

  17. King Eric says:

    Had to laugh at a very deluded Villa fan on talksport regards the Ballon D’Or. “The only English player that should get anywhere near that list is Wilshire” Sorry am I really missing summat with him? He is an OK player but the hype around him is a fucking joke. Suffice to say the fat cunt Gough agreed.

  18. King Eric says:

    slayer – No offence pal but THE biggest load of garbage I have read recently.

  19. King Eric says:

    slayer – “tough time” “BPL” What on earth are you talking about?

  20. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Robin van Persie came in 9th and Rooney 15th in Ballon d’Or voting.

    http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/ballond'or/general/01/98/08/52/fboawards-byrank.pdf #MUFC

    King Eric, you can take your Villa pal aside and whisper in his ear.
    Wayne Rooney is the only English player to even get a vote, and he came in 15th out of 23. Not bad for a lad who had a bad year!

  21. RedHarry4Life says:

    Zigoo

    You totally agreed with you mate up until you mention “side show bob”Luiz. the worst defender in 5he world

    Has Mr Blatter got something to sday about “slavery, buying up all the talent etc”

    Alves instead of Lahm? Marcello instead of Cole Pique played half a season and has looked pretty shite on a good few occasssions

  22. fergie is the boss says:

    slayer – the defense and midfield when fit are actually ok, its the depth that worries me. That starting lineup against shitty, is has good as anything in Europe, but I would not want to lose DDG evans carrick cleverly RVP to injury. You say the midfield does not hold up, when its caick cleverly valencia and young, with rooney dropping deep, we are a dangerous force,

    as the starting lineup of

    DDG
    rafeal ferdinand evans evra
    carrick cleverly
    valencia rooney young
    RVP

    that starting 11, as a combo of pace, power ceativity, and great control, and that side has plenty of goals, and great width. Pit that side against nearly any side, and we will beat anyone. Hey we have beaten liverpool chelsea and shitty away this season, and 7 pts clear and in the next stage of the CL, not so bad is it

  23. Brisbanefan says:

    Modric is a £15million player – no more.
    RM got caught out paying the money they did for such an ‘average’ player.
    They’ll be more careful when buying Bale – another player vastly over-rated by the London media.

    Hope the stories about UTD being interested in Modric are just BS.

    He’s not a UTD player and never will be.
