Robert Peston from the BBC has concluded the following from the latest Deloitte annual review:
- If you combine spending per unit of output with success in winning trophies, there is no doubt that Alex Ferguson is incomparably the most successful manager in the UK. United’s wage bill per Premier League point is £1.6m, just a fraction more than Arsenal’s £1.5m. For the extra £100,000 per point, United were runners up in 2009/10 and champions in 2010/11. Arsenal and Wenger cannot argue that they could not afford to spend the extra £20m shelled out by United on wages, at least not on Deloitte’s analysis.
- Relative to United, City’s productivity – or premier league points generated per unit of spending on players’ wages – is relatively low. Our wage bill was less than City’s – from which it generated a vastly superior performance, of second in 2009-10 and champions last year.
- Liverpool were the worst performing club. They had the fourth largest wage bill at £121m, £10m more than Arsenal and £41m more than the next highest spender, Aston Villa.
- Chelsea’s wage bill was a full 31% greater than the second highest payer, Man City.
- Each of Wolves’s Premier League points in 2009-10 cost it £789,000 in wages, whereas each of Man City’s points cost it £2m in wages. Wolves was more than twice as efficient as Man City. For what its worth, Chelsea was even less productive – each of its 86 points in 2009-10 cost it over £2m in salaries.
- Arsenal’s wage bill was the fifth highest in the country at £111m, more than £20m a year less than City and United. In the concurrent season Arsenal came third, and last year we were fourth.

Thank you Sir Alex! Good to see your natural Scottish financial prowess to the fore!
Interesting analysis. But the wage bill will rise this year, unless they don’t replace some players and carry a smaller squad, which is unlikely. Signing of Wes schneijer and Cole will also cause a big increase in wages. Think Arse and the dippers will be about the same. So next years 20 might cost alot more in the end.

Doesnt David Gill deal with wages and the like ?
In the last line Scott you used the word concurrent. Has one been entertaining the Prawn Sandwich Brigade or unspecified entity.
Ashley Young on his way to Carrington for a medical. £14.5 million deal completely agreed. Just wait and in an hour Sky Sporets will have it as breaking news.
if anything the wage will go down. 8-9 senior players going with probably an average of £60000 a week wages between them.
replaced by some of the academy, cleverly, welbeck, and 3 big signings. For the record I think Sneijder will go to Chelsea, so we wont be paying his wages
@Sir Shaggsy
Is trying to drum up previously wavering support for a man with power of the purse strings not to mention being father to one of United best youngsters Oliver.
Oooooh this won’t go down well with the doomsayers.
“For the first time since David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Gary Neville and company sent Mark Hughes, Andrei Kanchelskis and Paul Parker hurtling towards the Old Trafford exit door in 1995, Ferguson has chosen revolution, rather than evolution, as the narrative for his summer rebuilding programme.”
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-united/8564873/Sir-Alex-Ferguson-preparing-last-great-Manchester-United-team-as-he-approaches-his-70th-birthday.html
Fuck me……
Chelsea spent the most on wages (£174m) with
Manchester City (£133m) replacing Manchester United
(£132m) as the next highest spender. In the first two
seasons after they were acquired by the new owners
in September 2008, Manchester City’s total wages
have increased by £79m in aggregate.
Only a 1M in difference in wages?

@Fletchtheman
Signing of Wes and Cole??
Which cole are you wanting to sign mate I hope you dont mean Joe Cole, or Carlton Cole, or Ashley Cole. Infact id rather have Andy Cole back than any other Cole I can think of.
@Goat doomsayers not having a good year,firstly glaziers paid of the 200mill + on the loan,then all the ‘fans’ calling sir alex and gill liars and puppets about having money to spend are being proven wrong,haven’t seen to many on rom lately because things are going well for the club.they are no better than trolls wishing ill will on utd and only show up when things are going bad,one trick fucking ponies or phonies whichever you prefer negative cunts not fans.
nice article smartalex. Not sure hes preparing his “last great Manchester United team” though. He’ll die on the bench, Im sure of that and like my granddad will go on and on and on and suck dry my bloody inheritance. These old folk today are like duracel bunnies.
Fergie on the bench in his 80′s, I can see that.
listen guys SIR ALEX is building the NXT generation of stars basically his last team before he retires so he can leave the next manager with satisfaction and confidence of settlin into the role imo FLY is that tru A YOUNG for 14.5 mill not on SKY SPORTS yet dou
@wayne
Ive always been one that if Im not privilidged to information (from the inside) then I have no right to criticise. I didn’t criticise the Glazers, I didn’t criticise Bush and Blair and the whole Iraq business. Im not a sheep that follows but at the same time Im not overly critical or a believer in conspiracies. The Glazers have their own money invested and have built up their empire and know what they are doing, far be it from me to say they are in the wrong.
GoatinaUnitedShirt, I hope Sir Alex is still on the bench in his 80′s. The fans of other clubs (fuck them!) have spent most of their lives waiting in vain hope for him to go. Love it!
Extracted from wiki:
- The 2001–02 season was to have been Ferguson’s last as Manchester United manage
- In February 2002 he agreed to stay in charge for at least another three years.
- After winning the 2007–08 UEFA Champions League Ferguson had stated that his intention to leave Manchester United within the next three years, meaning that he would be gone by the summer of 2011
Summer of 2011 is here!
@Goat, According to financial experts, United’s business model has improved under the Glazers substantially. We are tapping up markets in Africa, South America and the like which are places we never had a foothold in before.
Sure, to a certain extent they may be sucking the fans by increasing the ticket prices and merchandise prices, but their overall contribution to the growth of Manchester United as a business and a global brand is pretty good from what I’ve been reading.
So, it is time we stop piling everything at their doorstep. Sure, like any other United fan I’d be glad to be rid of them (just to be rid of the debt) but who’s to say the person who takes over is any better.
@Goat we can all hope someone will come along and make the club debt free but to wish utd ill will on the pitch which some people do is just wrong,utd have had alot of success under the glaziers mainly because as you pointed out their good business men,leave good people alone to do the job and no interference on the football side.have also increased utds worth as a global brand,wakey for years has tried to tell people the long term plan of the glaziers is solid but the doomsayers have tunnel vision.i wonder if the hatred for the glaziers in some quarters is more to do with them being yanks or jews more than anything else.
@smartalex
Ferguson is the type of character that is born to do a particular job. He does not need to try (in the context of over exerting your abilities) it all comes natural. At his job (that he wouldnt see as a job – more his pass time) he is comfortable and in his element. To stop being manager of Manchester United for him it would be like the rest of us lying on our backs, crossing our chests with our arms and holding our breaths.
A job to him would be like a checkout person at a supermarket. Monotonous and done because of a need of money and something to fill the time. Being Manchester United manager is not a job him, he doesnt need the money and if he was to retire he would be the greatest armchair manager of Manchester United, he wouldnt be anything else. Its similar to Donald Trump I guess, he wouldnt stop buying buildings and investing and sell up one day because Trump is Trump. Sir Alex Ferguson is Manchester United and will end his days like Trump the emperor of a massive empire.
@Goat Trump is a total self promoting phoney cunt,just a disguting vile human being,prick wasn’t self made his dad had money and has been bankrupt god knows how many times,please don’t compare sir alex to that piece of shit
Goat – At least Fergie has a genuine head of hair. That aloof Trump has a fucking wig and won’t admit the truth. Maybe he can’t handle the truth!
@Balaji
Your right, the Glazers are business men and they have done a massive ammount of good for this club as well as in some peoples eyes alot of damage. They did take a lot of debt to buy the club BUT if you raise the revenue of your investment to cover those costs then there isnt really any harm. Its similar to buying a house on mortgage that you can ill afford BUT seeing a potential to renovate and invest so remortgorging on better terms or even a sale at a later date far outweighs the dark side of the original loan.
As for ripping the fans off for higher ticket prices I have to say this is NOT the case. Yes the ticket prices have gone up, but everything else around has also gone up in the last ten years. Social benefits, pensions, minimum wages have all gone up as has the other things we need. I dont believe that in relative terms a Manchester United ticket is any pricier or unaffordable than anything else on the market. I agree that a football ticket should be inline with other comestibles (food, mobile phones, clothing etc) and like them if you cant afford them then you should work harder to acchieve them.
Personally, I have respect for the nonmedling ways of the Glazers and what theyve acchieved and do not want them to go. The debt that still remains is not a debt of Manchester United evn if it was on the books (not sure if it is or isnt) because a Company (the Glazers) cannot bankrupt or put into liquadation a subsidery (Manchester United) whilst being rich and successful in other areas and raking money in. So if the debt was to be a problem then it would mean the fall of the Glazers, they have many eggs in many baskets and this is highly unlikely. They are a dynasty.
As if more proof was needed about how big a genius of a man Sit Alex is….
Best part of the article……. ‘ Liverpool were the worst performing club. They had the fourth largest wage bill at £121m, £10m more than Arsenal and £41m more than the next highest spender, Aston Villa.’
Dumb fucks
Young’s agent is at United concluding the deal for him to join the champions. 19 baby, ya gotta love it!
smartalex
Make that 85 buddy!
Afternoon all true REDS
@wayne and willierednut
I compared Sir Alex and Trump not as in an individual point of view rather how their acchievements are their lives rather than a part of their life. I could have meant any businessman of Trumps magnitude but wanted to say a person who everyone reading would know who I was talking about.
@wayne
Agreed about Trump.
Ashley Young is at O T As we speak. With the addition of a goalkeeper is that the spending over?
Glad to see others seeing what the glazers are doing. While I’d love to see the debt gone and fan ownership of the club, so I joined MUST and put a few pennies in, I’m getting tired of the negative crap aimed at the owners. There are a lot of spoiled fans around. The success we have had under the glazers and now they have shown what good business men they have been since taking over and raising revenue in a difficult period, while also keeping tickets low compared to other teams I think it is time to give them a break and get behind them and the club. Of course should things change, then we should get on their backs, but so far all is ok.
Apparently, we’ve signed some 16yo striker named Ruairi Croskery. They say he’s a deadly finisher.
GoatinaUnitedShirt
Fortunately Sir Alex has his wonderful wife Cathy to keep him grounded! Some SAF quotes:
- I told my wife I had a match but she said it was a friendly and that I had to help her.
- She told me I wasn’t resigning. It’s the only time I’ve ever been bullied. That wife of mine bullies me. She throws me out of the door at seven o’clock every morning.
- When Alastair Campbell phoned to talk to her about my knighthood she said to him, ‘Do you not think he’s had enough rewards?’
- You’ll not find a thing about my career in the house. My wife Cathy is fed up with the whole thing. She’s unbelievable. I can’t even take a football book home. If I bring one in she will say, ‘What are you doing with that?’
@Goat, My fear with the Glazers is only to do with the debt and given what you’ve explained about that, I am, and always have been OK with them.
Whenever my Red mates ask me about the Glazers, I ask them, Who would you rather have? Roman Abramovich or Glazers. IMO, Glazers are much better in any sense. Their business knowledge is good and they leave the football to Sir Alex and David Gill which is even better.
I also understood you reference between Sir Alex and Trump.
Personally, Sir Alex is a visionary in the world of football. If it were upto me, I would grant him immortality. I agree in that the only way he will leave is if he departs from us altogether. The mere thought itself gives me shudders and chills. May that day never come.
Betting suspended on Ashley Young. That’s a good sign.
@wayne
“i wonder if the hatred for the glaziers in some quarters is more to do with them being yanks or jews more than anything else.”
Wow, I think in part you could be right but to explain that here and give any justification/explanation or the like would go on and upset way too many people. There does seem to be an anti american feeling prevelant in todays society (not just Manchester but the whole of Europe and every other continent except North America with the exception of Canada and Mexico). And the Jew “issue” is an old issue dating back hundreds of years spread throughout the whole of Europe and is not really exclusive to the jews. The english are not well liked in much the same way by the Irish, Scottish and French. (I would include the Welsh but Im not sure how deep their misstrust is).
If you want to discuss this then on your head be it.
Good afternoon CedarsDevil!
Let’s split the difference, and settle on 90, shall we?
Goat – I’d give that a miss. You don’t want the RoM police on your ass.
Behind every great man is a great woman.
@Saad
A woman with a strap-on amirite?
…..Sorry.
smartalex
Fair enough, 95 it is mate…………… Loved those quotes by Sir Alex on his wife Cathy…. She sounds like a bloody tough cookie !
Saad – Or a horny woman?
@Balaji
IMO as well who would you rather have, a set of owners who have “allowed” Sir Alex to get us to 3 European Cup finals in 4 years (only to miss out on the other by the away goals rule), better than Barca, and have excellent success at home despite money being thrown around like confetti. OR Abramovich with way too much personal interest who sacks a manager of Anchelottis ability. He sacked Mourinho who has gone on to win it again afterwards and is getting closer to Barca and will probably win it again. Abramovichs medling may have invested hundreds of millions in players but hes also hindered hundreds of million of pounds of players ability.
Colbert
LOL
What abour Sir Alex and Martin Scorsese?
@smartalex and Cedars, No wonder Sir Alex values family so highly given that he has an absolute gem of a soulmate.
Best quote has to be about his proposed retirement: “She told me I wasn’t resigning. It’s the only time I’ve ever been bullied. That wife of mine bullies me. She throws me out of the door at seven o’clock every morning.”
Somehow the image of that never fails to bring a smile to my face.
God bless Sir Alex and Cathy for eternity.
@Saad
Its going to be a long Preseason for United. Still many more to come.
The only plus point of the Glazer’s regime is that they never interfere with the working of the club. Whether its the new signings or the wage demands of the players, the Glazers leave everything to Sir Alex and his team. They are already willing to offer a large budget for buying players even though they are drowned in debt.
@Saad
Saad says:
Behind every great man is a great woman.
And still they want to push to the front and exclaim to the world their equality.

I quickly read that as a woman with a strap on and marmite. I very nearly started the days pulling session right there and then.

Just answered Saads post, just thought Id give the RoM police something to get stuck into, I dont want to be held accountable for cuts in the RoM constabulary.
Balaji
The mere thought of Sir Alex being bullied seems like a no no and totally impossible… Only Cathy can I suppose, God bless her, God bless them both indeed !
@Goat not trying to stir anything just a personel observation,racists have a way of infiltrating causes and twisting it for their own agenda,like i said before haven’t seen to many anti-glaziers on here lately only come out of the woodwork when things are bad just to cause trouble.have to question if they are utd fans and what their true motivation is.
@Colbert
Good one, mate.
@Goat
Don’t get me started on that.
In all seriousness, women dont need to behave like sluts to get their way. A truly great woman is modest, has a beautiful soul, a beautiful character and can thus bring the best out of us men.
@those talking about the Glazers
The Glazers HAD NOTHING to do with United’s success in the past 5 years. That was ENTIRELY due to SAF’s management and the players he bought. The only plus point for the Glazers is that they never said “no” when SAF needed money to buy players. But you tell me? Which owner in their right mind would ever make an enemy out of the greatest manager that ever lived?
It is ridiculous to credit the Glazers for United’s recent success and thus forget the fact that they leveraged a huge amount of debt on a previously DEBT-FREE club.
Had their been no debt, by now, we’d be talking about developing the South Stand and bring OT up to 95,000.
To be honest lads I dont think the Glazers are to thank for the growing business. I think that would be Gill and Richard Arnold (not that fat puff off gmtv).
Does anybody have a camera outside OT? Is it true that Ashley Young is there now?
@Saad
Well said regarding the Glazers. We have succeded in spite of them, not because of them.
King Eric
How are you my friend? Great to see you posting here regularly again….. Let us not forget the aim of our club which is to match Barca! hahahaha
@King Eric
Ditto on the growing business.
The interested payments were starting to break United’s back. The Glazers were desperate for new sources of income hence the drive to increase United’s commercial revenue.
The retarded thing about City: Wages 133 mill £, Yearly turnover 125 mill £
I think some bit of perspective is needed here…
There’s no issue with the Glazers personally….its just that the business model is too risky and a few bad years may just rip the life out of us…its not scaremongering, just the facts…
For instance, we’ve made almost 65m pounds from getting to the champions league final
80m pounds from selling Ronaldo and another 100m from winning the Champions league and League double in 2007-08 —- just imagine if this heady rate of success had not happened for some reason….(which in a footballing world is completely possible – one bad decision can be the difference between winning a title or not or getting kicked out of the champions league!) and from the 100 odd million in the books, you subtract the above cash flows…and we’re suddenly have no money to spend..
Of course, to give them their due, they have not meddled with team affairs and have increased the revenue stream in a variety of ways, all of it would never have been enough IF NOT FOR SIR ALEX keeping United successful all this while….SO the credit must go to Sir Alex for keeping us going through tough times…
The business model is too risky in my professional opinion, the ratio of debt to EBITDA/Free cash flow is too high in a business such as football. I pointed it out in my articles before and will do so again….nothing personal against the Glazers at all (or against Americans or jews for that matter — I dont know why people need to bring racist elements up time and again)
OKAY…Back to football….Young and Jones tied up it seems then….roll on pre-season!
Ashley Young would apparently get around 100k per week.
I wouldn’t be upset about Ashley Young joining us (I like the idea that we’re getting British and Irish players) but 100k per week for Young is a bit much.
Cedars – Hello my friend. How are you? I am ok. Yeah posting a bit more regularly now there is summat positive to talk about. I just cannot be doing with all the fucking clowns mate. A prime example was last night’s phone in. THREE people all wanting to sign Pastore from “Udinese”. Shame he plays for Palermo. Also some prick called Alex from London said the current strikers werent good enough for Europe! Yeah like you said mate we just MUST go the the next level. We MUST topple Barca. Yawn. Hope you are good old lad.
don’t think anyone is giving the glaziers direct credit but there’s alot worse owners out there and their hands off approach is one of the reasons for utds success and nobody can deny that.
@Saad
You have to give credit for the fact that the Galzers havent said no to sir Alex when its their money involved that shows a great ammount of humility and great understanding of the fact that Sir Alex is who he is. Big money men dont always give respect to those who have earned it.
As for the south stand, anyone who has been on the tour of OT and listened to the tour guide would realise that the south stand is very difficult to develop. 1. It backs onto a canal and railway severly restricting the ability to enlarge within reasonable costs and 2. The roof would have to be retractable if you made the stand higher or the pitch would never get any of the famous manchester sun. The south stands roof as it is now is partly glazed. A retratable roof would have to be the option or no roof, but that would mean a very wet 70 year old manager during many match days.
The debt as I have previously mentioned is a Glazer debt not specifically a Manchester United debt. Yes they take money out to service the debt but even during the clubs time as a plc money was taken out to pay shareholders dividends which is their right on an annual basis for their investments. Its not as clear cut as many would have you believe and really the doomsayers are playing on peoples ignorance of the subject. Much like the labour party, also popular in manchester.
@wayne
Granted…but even that, I think, is because of SAF’s reputation rather than sensibility on the part of the Glazers. And we’ll never if you are right or wrong as long as SAF is still in charge. If it were any other boss, who knows? Maybe the Glazers wouldn’t be as “hands-off” as they have been.
King Eric
Cheers buddy, I am very well thanks mate….. Them dumb fucks no longer anger me, in fact they put a smile to my face….. We just won the league for fucks sake yet you still get so called United fans moaning and complaining! Pathetic really….
Thanks to supporters like yourself and many more on here we can keep a good perspective
When will the Young deal be confirmed? I need my new player fix!
Although I think Young can be a great player on his day, I still don’t fully see the thinking of this purchase.
Trying to second guess Fergie is impossible, and the only things I can see is:
1. He’s English and our quota is down by 3 with Scholes, Neville and Hargreaves leaving. More if Brown goes.
2. He can play on the left, although how many right footed wingers do we need?
3. He might be used as a sub for Hernandez and Fergie is thinking of changing our style of play back to a fast paced, dynamic counter attacking team.
4 It was obvious to any United fan how much of an impact Valencia made when he came back from injury, and Young would maybe help if Nani or Valencia suffered another long term problem.
5. He can be bought cheaply (relatively speaking) as he’s only got a year left on his contract.
But all these have nothing to do with progressing the team, just boosting the squad capabilities.
@Saad glaziers are smart buisnessmen are on the richest men in the world list,understand to be successful have to trust the people running the company,these guys are not like the stupid arab or roman nothing to do with ego,strictly business makes a huge difference.they know thier expertise doesn’t lie in the personnel matters or the day to day running of the club and have no doubt when the time comes will take sir alexs advice on who to succeed him.
@Goat
I’m aware of the difficulty of developing the South Stand, but it is by no means an impossibility. There have been plans for it but they’ve been on hold. And the extra cost to cover the complication of a roof as you described is worth it if we can have a stadium that rivals the Nou Camp, the Bernabeu and the San Siro, not to mention the increased matchday revenue (almost a full 15m per year).
Pay dividends to share holders is nowhere near as detrimental to a club as making huge interest payments. And a significant portion of the debt is leveraged on United, meaning United has to pay for it.
Nevertheless, I’m willing to trust what David Gill has been saying all along that they have a sustainable plan in place and that the interest payments are manageable. I have no reason to distrust David Gill (he’s not as two-faced as Kenyon) and I kinda like the guy. But regardless of how the good the plan is, I still do not like the way the Glazers went about acquiring United. I am not a fan of people spending money THEY DON’T HAVE.
@wayne
Yes, they’re smart enough to stay out of SAF’s hair and the football matters in United. Good for them. Good for SAF.
Phil Jones seen signing a United jersey after an England U-21 training session.
Nice! Some respite for the anxious fans.
@Saad don’t get me wrong mate i’d like to see utd debt free but i’m with goat would take them any day over roman or alot of other a**holes that seem to buy clubs and don’t have a fucking clue,then start interfering at every level
@wayne
So your opinion is based on comparing the Glazers to other owners. That’s fine…that makes sense to me. There are indeed some nutjobs in the business.
There can be better.
“Not that fat puff off gmtv” Quality.
On another note, about transfers, how about this.
To help Phil Jones realise his potential in being a player that can shift from midfield to defence and all that that entails why not do a swap deal with Everton not for Rodwell but for Heitinger. Rodwell fills the place for Everton, they’re happy. We also get a dutch international which could help convince Sneijder to come but also give other options such as cover for Carrick and a two man DM in the toughest of matches where you dont want to risk the inexperienced Phil Jones.
Besides we love a player thats been sent off in a word cup at OT. Its the old everyones against me/us attitude that we thrive on. I think that would be a very sensible move and hes making noises that maybe hes missing out on top flight football.
Alexis Sanchez prefers moving to United because he thinks he’d get more starting chances.
Wesley Sneijder prefers coming to United but the wage details are a hindrance.
@Saad
And the sale of Gibson, Brown and O’shea is stalling because Brown and O’Shea are reluctant to leave. Whereas Gibson is frustrated at United due to lack of options.
Or it could all be a lot of bollocks.
We’re In For some transfer thrillers in Europe this summer! Anything Is Possible!
No wonder he is known as the one line genius!
@Saad
Not aimed at you personally but I do find it amusing that an anti-glazerite, grouped together with other fans who want people to stop going to matches would champion the idea of increased number of seats. Its not some daft ploy to make OT look empty on match days because other efforts have so obviously failed. Funny.
The south stand can always be built up, mankind can do anything but is it profitable and with MUST attacking home attendencies then maybe they have a good reason and sound business mind not to risk their capital in an unprofitable venture. Another hats off to the Glazers me thinks, very sensible.
@Goat
That thought never crossed my mind, truthfully speaking. I just want United to have a grander ground. More seats…more revenue…more noise!
@Briggsy
Hey, just stating them as they appear on the news, mate! Don’t be hating!
@Goat
I’ve never been to OT so I have no idea whether the efforts of MUST are working. The stadium looks full on TV so that tells me that enuf ppl are still going to the stadium to fill it. As I understand it, United have a waiting list of season tickets that’s about 50,000 long. IS that true?
@saad
mate also sneiders wife prefers london
rumours are a fucking joke
nobody knows who wants wat
papers said vidics wife preffered spain well they are happy in manchester
papers have been saying for a week now that sneijder wil come to us for 30 million
thats even more nonsense
i will be surprised if inter sell him for less than 40 – 45million as even the likes of carrol henderson and torres are worth 35 million 20 million and 50 million
@Saad
Me too mate and I totally realise that you personally have no alteria motives behind your support for Manchester United or any organisation that at its core only has the well being of Manchester United.
“Are you reading Boris Johnson, thats diplomacy, thats political speak as it were”
I too want United to have a bigger ground, I want the 100000 barrier breached before 2015, I cant stand the Nou Camp being branded as a mainstay of footballing stadia. I mean for fuck sake its in bloody spain aint it. Who goes to spain, really.
Got to go lads thanks for the chat Ive had a good day on here with my mates, be back later.
@Saad.
Not hating, was just adding to you story. Was saying the whole gibson, O’Shea and Brown story could all be bollocks.
Slightly off topic (but only slightly) … certainly seems the boss is moving in the market this year, big time. From the looks of it, knows exactly what he wants and has set out to get it. Or them. And it’s both bitter and sweet. I am very sad to see some of these players leaving. I am also still waiting for the day for your academy players to come through — that’s what I really want. And I have never been all that excited about transfer speculation.
Yes despite all that, I got to admit, it feels fucking good that the club and the manager are both willing and (apparently) able to go out there and throw our weight around a little. The arse, the dippers, even the bitters, all wanted Jones, but they couldn’t have him. I think that’s a story that might be told and retold with different actors over the course of this summer.
We’ve put up with a lot of shit over the last few years. If you listen to the cunts, we was finished, on our way to a financial Armageddon, even our football was in decline and it was only a matter of time before we were overtaken. But here we are, number 19 under our belt, three CL finals in four years, a handful of hot prospects in the academy, and now out there wheeling and dealing and getting our way (for the most part, anyway) in the marketplace. I tell ya, it feels fucking good.
@StatesideAussie
true mate, seeing player like Oshea and Brown leave will hurt a lot.

WHAT IS THIS SHIT? Every day I come on this site looking for news of top transfers but all we do is sign players with a future and make tons of cash while making our ‘rivals’ look like cunts! This is absolutely disgraceful!
WHY HAVEN’T WE SIGNED CROUCH, DJOUROU AND BOA MORTE YET? How are we supposed to beat Barcelona without them? We NEED them or we will get slaughtered by everyone. And what about Yapi Yapo from FC Basel? Not only is he a backup for the Ivory Coast national team, he is setting the Swiss league alight with a series of uninspiringly average performances. How can we afford to miss a world-class player like that? We have to sign him before City do or we’re doomed. Doomed I tell you!
PLEASE FERGIE SIGN YAPI YAPO OR I WILL NEVER INVITE YOU TO MY BIRTHDAY PARTY AGAIN! No cake for you mr bigshot millionnaire football manager.
And which one of you lot has been putting gin in my porridge?
COME ON WESLEY!!! DO THE RIGHT THING!!! even your wife wants you to join us. Don’t listen to Chelsea. United is the ONLY place for you. Thank God for the Phil Jones signing. Sky sports have said that the Ashley Young deal is underway as young’s reps are already talking with United. it’s a GREAT GREAT Summer. also FUCK BARCA. this isn’t about them and LMAO at Cyril Sneer that was funny.
Sorry has our new home Jersey come out yet? and how much does it cost?
I agreee …………
@Fred, Hi, how did You know of Sneijder’s wife being a United Fan
@Briggsy
Sorry, misunderstood you the first time.
United apparently LOCKING HORNS with Arsenal for a player named “OX”-lade Chamberlain.
How far away is August???
Why do the ppl at ManUtd.com have to be such dicks??? Can’t they such announce the signings already???
Jerks!
dandivine. Wes’ wife wants him to go to London. SHUT UP WOMAN!!!
Now Wesley Sneijder definitely has to come to Old Trafford. The new United away kit looks almost like the Inter home kit!
@ dannysoya – Yeah it is mate – prices starting from approx £40 (short sleeve adult)
Yay excited with the buzz and all the excitement and talk and ……….WHATEVER!!!
the 100,000 barrier is excitng to me though, hope we can get there and give OT the noise and atmosphere it deserves, just imagine 100,000 capacity OT filled to the last square inch with Mancunians decked in Red roaring Pogba,tunni and Morrison on. Ladies and gents its going to be grand,absolutely grand
Looks like we are really going for nasri.
rumours that we already have agreed with his agents.
want to see whinger’s face when nasri tells him he wants to to go United and nowhere else
We won’t pay sneijder’s wages.
@Saad,Relax, You’re very funny hahaha, I think They want to complete the Young deal too and then announce both together. Stuart Pearce has confirmed the deal along with Henderson to Anfield are done…
Is it pissing anyone else off that so-called Manchester United fans are questioning the signing of Phil Jones, Ashley Young etc and are thinking that the central midfield won’t be improved?! Are they fucking thick or something?! Just been on F365 and some of the comments made by supposed fans are absolutely diabolical. I’m ashamed to call them fans of this club and be thought of in the same manner.
@dannysoya, ‘SHUT UP WOMAN’ I Like That!
@BerbaGod
Thats a rough place to go looking for anything constructive about United. The whole thing is set up that way. i mean the say manyoo to describe us like they’re handing out candies.
Don’t go looking for Eskimos in the middle of the desert.
The reds are all here…in RoM.
@slim
You are shady.
@ slim – Don’t get me wrong I know how F365 are with their general opinions on Manchester United, and they are not constructive, but other sites too, where supposed ‘fans’ are talking absolute bollocks. Just one of those things I guess, don’t worry mate, I’ll get over it…
Gooners are feeling a bit nervous about the possibility of Naseri moving to United.
Not heard ‘owt about the South stand extension for a while, but the Council have just closed Sir Matt Busby Way to traffic for safety reasons. That Fans HQ should be good too.
Am I wrong to expect more transfers after De gea, Jones, young?
Hell NO!
more unexpected transfer by Sir Alex soon…
Nasri? Sneijder? why not?
same old arry. he tries again to sign Rio.
Why the hell should rio play for a club which can’t compete in the CL?
WHOA that would be Massive if we get Nasri. I still think that we don’t have a chance in the world of getting him cuz Wenger is stubborn but you never know.
@Saad
got that right, shady as Fuck. Let them quake in their snoods. lol. They’ve choked big time you bet there’s going to be some nervous gooners about
And ffs, I know more than a few lifelong local reds who’d be a bit pissed off to see people here (of all places) calling them cunts for refusing to accept unnecessary debt.
LMAO at harry trying to sign Rio what planet you on mate? BAHAHAHAHA!!!! who in their right mind would leave a starting spot at Manchester United for Tottenham? You gotta be kidding me. You have the audacity to bid for Rio yet you don’t want us to come for Modric i hope we trouble Modric now just to piss off Arry.
Just got back from therapy, have read the first 50 or so post.
Spot on Balaji.
JUNE 9, 2011 AT 11:54
Balaji Sivaraman says:
@Goat, According to financial experts, United’s business model has improved under the Glazers substantially. We are tapping up markets in Africa, South America and the like which are places we never had a foothold in before.
Sure, to a certain extent they may be sucking the fans by increasing the ticket prices and merchandise prices, but their overall contribution to the growth of Manchester United as a business and a global brand is pretty good from what I’ve been reading.
So, it is time we stop piling everything at their doorstep. Sure, like any other United fan I’d be glad to be rid of them (just to be rid of the debt) but who’s to say the person who takes over is any better.
@slim, dannysoya
Le Arse stated it very clearly that Naseri won’t be sold to United…ANYBODY but United.
Yet, the Gooner fans quake and tremble at the thought. See how uncertain they are about their team. See how little faith they possess in the words of their manager.
RoM is the true color of red.
dannysoya – Nasri has 1 year left on his contract, Wenger don’t want to break the bank for his wage demands and if Nasri wants to leave and sign with us what has wenger left to do?
He can’t sell him when Nasri won’t sign at any other club. And let him go for free next year? they would lynch him.
Slim might be Shady, but he kicked Bad, Bad Leroy Browns ass !!!!
Zelh – Whats ya source on Nasri?
Nasri that pulled Scholes’ hair?
I’m sure we wouldn’t give Naseri the £110k a week he wants at l’Arse would we?..
News on Sneijder.
Says again he doesn’t want to leave Inter.
Seams to be the same like the Vidic-rumours.
I think wesley is no option.
@xol
Nasri did what???? When did he do that???
SOB can stay in Gooner hell. No way does he get to wear the United jersey.
Hey Zelh any questions for me today? Any personal comments or attacks toward me. I’m here to respond. I’m 49 and have chose not to learn computer skills until I became a football fan. So 3, 4 years ago had my 10 year old nephew teach me how to get on line and search out football sites so I could learn more about the game from people that had grown up playing and watching this great game.
I’m dyslexic and have to typing or spelling skills to speak of. The other day I was in a hurry to boot and both Modric and Sneids does not make sense, the point I failed to make was Roman would buy to keep players from Man Utd and maybe Man Utd could pay them back.
Zelh from your posts your bright and love MUFC and have insight. Then at the end you bite with a sarky spiteful smart ass comment. Like Zibbie get a life. You have tossed 3 to 4 of those my way. Anything you want to say I’m here for the day on and off.
willie – only twitter. but the guy was right about jones from the beginning when everyone else talkes about him having medical at liverpoo.
said he was told that nasri’s agent agreed with united but can’t confirm that.
so let’s wait and see.
willie the story with 1200+ comments is on the second page now.
Cut me willie.
A bit of fun
http://www.redforcerising.net/2011/06/09/breaking-news-liverpool-sign-bent/
Zibbie – I’m sorry that I insulted you that day. Just had a piss poor day and was annoyed by all the tranfer rumours.
Arsene wenger has proven he’ll sell to anyone that puts in the right offer.
Cole-Chelsea
adebayor, toure – Man city
hleb- barca
henry-barca
Wenger is a business manager not a football manager, he balances the books at arsenal so they continue making a profit. If Nasri draws offers of £20 mill & Chelsea bid £25 mill, Wenger will sell in order to make a profit & Buy his replacement for around £14-18 million.
Who the fuck would want nasri anyway, good player, inconsistant, lacks respect for others & has never perfomed well against good opposition apart from us in 2008 & has a poor goals + assist record.
@Dandivine7 – I made it up.
I’m dyslexic and have to typing or spelling skills to speak of.
“no”
haha I suck on the keyboard.
Hello Zibbie aka Mickey Rourke? One more round!
Agree with much of that about the Glazer plus points but it does make me chuckle. It’s like the Chris Rock sketch. “Hey I look after my kids”, ” but You’re SUPPOSED to look after your kids!”. ” Hey I LOVE my Wife”, “You’re SUPPOSED to Love your Wife”. ” I send my Kids to School”, “but you’re SUPPOSED to…”. “I never hit my Wife”, ” But you’re NOT SUPPOSED to hit your Wife!” Maybe what I’m trying to get at is that the Glazers haven’t eaten Children or indulged in Ethnic Cleansing therefore they’re top notch owners. Although they may have inadvertently invested in some questionable things with all the money the banks and financial institutions are making from their ownership of a club that could self sustain itself and give to chariddy.
Young, De Gea & Phil Jones —>Come to Papii, Who doesn’t Want to be part of the United Family
Fuck Sneijder if he goes Chelshit ….on the other hand Fuck his Wife !……Who Wouldn’t !
Zelh no worries mate, silly season has us all a little crazy, and my lack of typing skills can be madding to people who are so good at putting together the English language.
I have gone off 2 or 3 times for no good reason on RoM in the last week or so as well.
You have many friends here and I understand why. Thanks and my bad as well.
willie lol sure man…………
Please, Papii. No more shagging other men’s wives. We’ve had enuf of that!
I would be happy if we sign Sneijder’s wife.
for the sake and the balls of our team
xol – That sketch is fucking quality lol.
Stateside, this will be a busy summer for player moving out and coming in and promoted from the youth. SAF told us as much when he mentioned hard moves like Butt and Phil Nev. O’Shea would hurt me, In SAF, MUFC and fan’s do trust.
She so hot.
Saad, it was this season during a fracas. The game where Wilshere also fouled scholes late after he’d volleyed a pass up field to the left wing. Can’t remember which game – they all merge into one delightful victory!
True Say Saad
We Don’t want a Bunch of John Terry’s
It would be very Baad.
I reckon rafael will get our number 2 .
Phil jones 4
de gea 1
Maybe young will get 18 ?
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11667_6976928,00.html
Sky running with the Nasri story now. Still seems like an unlikely deal.
Mmmmmm
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,,11670_6976928,00.html
oh please God No
Man.united step up naseri persuit
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_6976928,00.html
The Naseri rumours are gaining momentum especially on twitter. If he ever comes to United he will be least accepted by the United fans. He is good in first half of the season but completely dissappears in the other half.
haha 3 people
same story linked
Enough of the links! lol.
He’s big, he’s bad, he’s Wesley Sneijd
The snidest man in all the town
With thinning hair – beware!
Come and have a go if you dare!
B)
just sign him to take the piss out of every fuckin gooner.
‘Nasri is seen as an ideal replacement for the retired Paul Scholes’
Fuck right off, there’s no comparison. Scholes is a genius footballer with just enough of a nasty streak to make people think twice about fucking about with him. Nasri is a snood-wearing mummy’s boy.
Hey, where’s the smiley with the sunglasses?
Wenger’s worst mightmare….He lost Jones and maybe Fabregas, then to lose Nasri to United?
Oh, it’s “8″, not “B”.
here’s the link to the sneijder interview
http://www.fcinternews.it/?action=read&idnotizia=49125
says there is no reason to leave Inter and that he loves the city.
Nasri 5/4 on to join United, so it says on sky
Us signing Nasri is my worst nightmare too, Willie!
Nasri isn’t a bad player. If he’s going cheap, why not? So he plays for arsenul. Fergie won’t sign him if he isn’t up to it
@xol – it was the 2-0 FA Cup win at Old Trafford. Loved the midfield that day: Rafael, O’Shea, Gibson, Fabio.
“The talented French schemer’s reluctance to engage in contract talks with Arsenal until he is satisfied their transfer targets are of the required standard to mount a title push next season has alerted Sir Alex Ferguson to his possible availability.”
More like, “…has alerted Sir Alex Ferguson to what this despicable mardy-pants is all about”
Seems like wacky wacky times.
The comment yesterday was that Phil Jones was to have the No2, end of Rafael then?
Doesn’t make much sense that. So we are all clutching at straws then.
Click Manchester has a quote from Nasri’s manager that he is coming to United. De Gae shopping for houses in Manchester then he says he has not had contact with the club. It is all lies! How does a right minded red stay sane?
Probably best just to keep low and post softly while carrying a big stick, some will likely just come back in mid July. Funnny if we are still up in the air about Nasri, Wesley Sneijder, and de Gae by then! Funny, but painfully so!
RedLife – he’s a fanny and you know full well he is. DO NOT WANT.
Fred – I don’t him want either, but I heard through the grapevine King Eric is all for it.
Cheers Fred. Oof. Da Silvas on the wing. 7 defenders. Great attacking play. It’s all coming back now.
@ fred They are all fannies these days, Barca has a team full and they get on alright. As long as the team has a spine of strong players, we can afford a luxury of Nasri if he’s good enough.
FletchTHEMAN – I don’t get how Jones getting No. 2 should be the end for Rafa?
IF Sir Alex has been ‘alerted’ to naseri, it is only to upset Whinger, and force his hand.
No way we are signing naseri.
willie – Too right mate. I would just LOVE to see that despicable cunt in a United shirt. Not fit to lace Paul’s boots.
I know this is silly but I’m not happy about Jonesy getting the number 2. Would have loved to see Rafael and Fabio get 2 and 6, like Cafu and Roberto Carlos.
Jonesy could have had the number 4, like Stevie Bruce. 
Seems that is who Sir Alex wants, lets wait and see. Question is can He play in a two man midfield…IT IS WELL
Fred, lol
Bad, Bad Snedie Brown
@King Eric – he’s not fit to lace Obertan’s boots mate. Typical stuck-up Arsenal fanny cunt, with no backbone, no heart and no loyalty.
Almost as if a 14-year-old playing football manager got hold of the OT strings. Would never have imagined us being linked with Nasri. Jones was a good one though and will support Young 100% if/when he joins.
Another song for Wes Sneijd, a reworking of Roy’s Keen
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_3guDyMfEY
Wes is snide, oh Wes is snide
Wes is snide, oh Wes is snide
We’ve never seen a snider
Man named Sneijder
Thank you, thank you.
Sam played his part, no doubt.
http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/allardyce-backs-phil-jones-to-succeed-at-manchester-united-2295230.html
One of the Craziest summer for United. Never expected we’l go till Nasri in the summer market. I think Fergie sees him as a cheaper option than Sneider and Modric considering he has only one year left on his contract. But personally i dont see Nasri fitting at United.
Also, trying to fit in 3-4 new players into the first eleven might be tricky.
Big Sam said:
“His mental strength and the abilities to cope with the pressure of the Premier League at such a young age stood out.
“He wasn’t fazed, didn’t look too nervous and was quite calm.
“That is very important going into the biggest league in the world at such a young age.
“I think he made his (Premier League) debut against Chelsea and was man of the match.
“His mental strength was always going to be good enough and that is one of the biggest factors if you are going to be a top, top player.
“I think eventually, with a little more experience, which is going to gain more quickly at Manchester United, he will ultimately become an England defender.”
Interesting.
Harry Redknapp said: “He’s good, that’s the key.”
Haven’t seen a lot of Gooners games this season, but can Nasri play as CM in a 4-4-2? Because if not, I don’t see how he will fit in our system. But my guess is that all the fuss is probably created by his agent in order to get Arsenal to extend his contract.
sneijder-man, sneijder-man,
Does whatever a sneijder can…
@Robinhood Savage – cheaper alternative alright. He’s cheaper because he’s vastly inferior to both.
Love it Cyril!
Transfer muppet-ry on high alert
Bloody broadband – hope is well on the high seas of the ROM ship
G’day to you all – my dear Reds
And agin Goodbye…
Until we meet again some sunny day – always wanted to say that
Coastas – he can barely play as part of a three, never mind a two. He’s gash, mate.
Costas, not Coastas! Sorry, pal.
De Gea– De Heya
Tally me Bananas, DAY–O DAY–O= DE GEA , DE HAY-A
Right lads, I’d like to see Rafael 2, Fabio 6, Jones 4, that would do nicely.
Just saying that some of the rumors have been so shallow and wackey, crazy times.
Fred, I’ll reserve the songs for when Wes Sneijer puts the pen to the proverbial paper.
Couple of crackers come to mind.
Yo Wes! Come to United. We’ve got the best songs mate!
Do you remember when we were linked with Raul Meireles? I didn’t want that twat either. I hope this ends the same way as that did.
I love Gergie’s laugh on Sky Sports.
Wow how fun and exciting to make her laugh between the sheets and that smokey ass voice wow HARD ON !!!! tmi !!!!!
George’s
Auf wiedersehen MG.
wow low blood sugar time to eat.
What are these conflicting reports we keep getting about Sneijder? One minute he has his heart set on moving to United (or City), the next he’s going to Chelsea, then I hear his agent has been talking to Barca and now he says he’s happy at Inter? He, his agent and his wife seem like a bunch of cnuts tbh.
@Fred
Reckon Sneijder will either stay at Inter or go to Chelsea.
fifa12 cover has been released
http://twitgoo.com/2bxq2g
LOL!
Sneijder is more confused than scooby doo.
Word on the grapevine there is another shock signing on the way. That’s all I’m saying.
Nasri rumours gaining momentum. Always liked the lad. Welcome to United, son.
The inevitable backtrack Fred?
I had to do it with the Young signing.
@Fred
Thanks pal. That’s what I suspected.
If Fred’s shocking news is naseri, those grapes would have to have to be hemorrhoids,
because he’s talking out his ass.
Oh, I must add. Hilarious non-story in the Evening Blues: “CITY SWOOP FOR SANCHEZ BACK ON!!!”
Based on a quote from Udinese that no deal has been agreed with Barcelona (yet.) According to the MEN, this somehow has opened the door for a move to City, despite the fact that he said he doesn’t want to joing them (something which was conveniently ignored in the article!)
Allegedly, his only choices now are to stay at Udinese or sign for City (yes, because no-one else wants to sign him, do they?) 
smartalex – the shock signing is NOT Nasri, mate. Don’t shoot the messenger!
Marlon King to Birmingham. That is a shock!
@fred is it william prunier? or joey barton?
Thanks Fred, otherwise I’d have had to eat the grapes of wrath. Or make whine…
@willie, Well, Scooby Doo, no matter how much confused he is, always seems to get it right in the end. I don’t expect Sneijder to do it because either he will stay or he will join Chelsea. So, you’ve just ended up insulting Scooby Doo.
Have we thought of a song for Naseri yet? I don’t think his cuntish name fits into any of our usual tunes.
The one battle we always seem to lose is the WAG battle. So far, in the current team, only Nani’s GF to the best of knowledge is hot. The others I have no idea about. If we sign Sneijder, that might help even the odds a little. Whaddaya think?
BREAKING NEWS!!!
United sign Joey Barton….
if carlsberg did nightmares, this would probably beat the one where you have your dick chopped off by a fat girl with a rusty knife.
WHAT THE? Why are we going for Nasri?
LMAO redlife. Heskey signs for Arsenal now that would be great news.
There goes Marlon, if we aren’t quick enough we might lose Marcus Bent aswell. Get a grip Fergie!
Rumours are gaining momentum now that we are for Nasri Wenger want to strike back and tries to sign bellion
Arthur Daley(Kings I think lol) says Crouch is staying at Spurs. We’ve missed that one…
WTF is Fergie doing? Matt bell has now signed for Mansfield. we should have gone for Bell a long time ago. DAMMIT FERGIE!!! wake up.
Matt Bell? Doesn’t ring true.
willierednut – it would be brilliant if united signed fabrigas, probably the perfect CM to play alongside carrick, especially on what we need
if we get Fabregas i’ll show my arse in Boots window.
Song for Nasri:
Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide,
No escape from reality
Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see,
I’m just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,
Because I’m easy come, easy go, Little high, little
low,
Any way the wind blows doesn’t really matter to me, to
me
Mama I just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he’s
dead
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh, Didn’t mean to make you cry,
If I’m not back again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine, body’s aching all the time
Goodbye, ev’rybody, I’ve got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooh, I don’t want to die,
I sometimes wish I’d never been born at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me
(Galileo) Galileo (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo figaro
Magnifico I’m just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He’s just a poor boy from a poor family,
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go (Let me go) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Oh mama mia, mama mia) Mama mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me
[guitar solo]
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh, baby, can’t do this to me, baby,
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here
Nothing really matters, Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters,
Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows
Nasri
willierednut – Hello mate. My trade mark comment is beetroot cunt. I think our good pal King Eric called him Arthur Daley. Shit, we have missed out big on that fucking freak of nature. By the way, Fuck off Nasri you snood wearing mincing goofy cunt. Your despicable scumbag nature is not welcome at our great football club. Evra, please don’t enourage him.
Fergie is gonna ‘swoop’ and shock everyone with a dramatic bid for Heurelho Gomes.
Sources in the Daily Mail and TalkSport are reporting that Gomes is seen as the new Peter Schmeichel and Fergie is ready to ‘break the bank’ to bring him to Old Trafford. Despite Arry Redknapp’s claims that ‘I ain’t sellin’ Gomes guv, ee’s a top geezer innit’, it is believed a bid of around 75 million will be enough to secure his services.
Gomes, 48, is rated as one of the world’s top goalkeepers and is expected at Carrington for a medical tomorrow. Wayne Rooney confirmed this on Twitter this afternoon. he tweeted: ‘Gomes on his way, fuckin’ sweet.’
Briggsy – you will be suprised by young, I think many will who have doubted his abilitys. I have said this plenty of times, young I see has a first 11 player, he has a bit of everything for a wide player and something that valencia and nani lack, their ability to take set pieces and the ability to take deadly free kicks. What young also posseses, his ability to score penaltys, so if we lost rooney to injury young can step up to the plate. Young is a poor mans ronaldo but that is not a bad thing, but he offers us the same options has ronaldo done, he can play on the right and left, and also has a striker, so if we decided to go 433 he will be a dream for the manager.
Kings – It’s just rumors mate. Wouldn’t want him at United myself.
Everyone seems to ignore the most valuable player out in the market that has the most value.
This guy is a pacey winger, with rocket of shot & free kick.
This man was surprisingly released from a “big” clubs youth system & has gone on to win many trophies with his former Club.
Of Course By Now You Should Realise Who Im Talking about.
The Powerhouse —————– Sebastian Larsson ————————-
Fergie Fergie Sign Him Up.
Queen, closely followed by Kings!
Welcome, regal friend!
willierednut – Oh I know mate, just felt like expressing my dislike for him!
Fred – Thought that was smartalex lol.
Kings – alright mate, you know who nasri looks like, my sisters ex LOL
dannysoya I’m with you mate. Unless Nani is off. In which case we would need another player starting with “N” …………………….for balance………………errrmmmm or something
fergie is the boss – Hello mate. Oh, so I take you won’t want him at United then!
FITB – I think Fabregas is going to Barcelona if they pay the money.
@fletch the man. I know mate. but Fergie isn’t stupid to let Nani go. the boy has some serious game and he’s not even at the peak of his powers yet. Nasri and Young are a bit similar so i’m not sure where Nasri would fit in. As it stands our midfield is already Jampacked.
Are we signing Matt Bellamy or not? If this is a wind-up, I am not aMused.
willierednut – even I thought it was me!
Kings – LOL well if he wants to come to united then its hard not to hate the prick, but the question is? can nasri play in CM in a 2 man midfield esp if united once again come up against barcelona. No question if united signed nasri united would play 433, with nasri carrick and fletcher in the middle, and maybe a 3 man attack of young rooney and hernandez
willierednut – many have called young and jones overpriced, but the question is? the way fabrigas has performed in the last 2 years is fabrigas overpriced now. has unlike ronaldo’s value to how united once played esp 2008, fabrigas is not that crucial to arsenals set up anymore. They already have wilseire and ramsey who were impressive against united, so really fabrigas should be priced at most 35 million, but saying that, many will say carrol and torres cost 35 to 50 million
Nasri’s future will be revealed at nine according to his agent
Piss off
@Faddy, LOL! Imagine if the rumours were actually true. Mind you, I don’t want them to be, but imagine if by some unforeseen end of the world event that it actually were?
I’m especially interested in what King Eric, Kings and Fred will do in such a scenario.
For the record, I don’t think the rumours are even close to being true. They are more like when people say that the world is going to end in 2012 IMO.
The only thing that i know is fact is that Skybet are shortening the odds every hour of Nasri being a united player. Also hearing that his agent has agreed personal terms but the clubs haven’t agreed a fee. That’ll be the snag if we genuinely want him
Balaji – Has nobody told you? the world IS going to end!
For fucks sake, I said piss off
Faddy is a legend – If united are really interested in nasri, it could because players like modric and schneider united’s first and second choice targets are costing 38 to 50 ot even 60 million. It helps the guy in interested in the new generation going on at OT which is exciting him
So thats de gea, jones & Young
Again Im Jones-ing for another signing Please Seb Larsson Join !!!
Balaji – Worlds ended mate, this is purgatory……inbetween the end of the season & Beginning
LOL Balaji!
His agent will reveal his future at 9pm? You couldn’t make this stuff up!
Obviously he has decided to stay at Arsenal, thank God. 
The bandwagon is a rolling!
Quick people, get into your bunkers. The world is going to be nuked any moment.
Faddy is a legend
Are you telling us that United are tapping up Nasri?
His agent has said this can you offer a link to where you got this info
Yup, when some arse fans are calling Nasri a cunt you just know he has got to stay there just so those ‘fans’ are left with egg on their face.
too many people with half a story on here.
mean while i have proof that we are signing steven gerrard…..as our mascot so he can get near the premiership trophy at least once.
Guess I am gonna have to get violent with you… I already said piss off…
Stupid mosquito
@Cedars
Is that me you’re telling to piss off for passing on information about a topic everyone was already discussing on the blog??
Nurse!
Kuszczak told France Football: “For me it is very clear either I play in goal for Manchester United, or I leave the club.”
http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2896/premier-league/2011/06/09/2524969/manchester-united-keeper-tomasz-kuszczak-threatens-to-quit
Goal . com are unreliable, but the quotes of Kuszczak are probably true.
Proceed at your own risk.
woow missed the spat between Zibbie and Zelh…… looks like they are back in love though…..
NEWS JUST IN
FERGIE has been seen crawling around Cardiff begging to be allowed to talk to Craig Bellamy……
conversation goes as follows……
oh aye come to OT we need you lad…..
Yeah Mr Ferguson, always wanted to play for your super team…..
who said anything aboot playing ye cunt…. I need the shit-houses cleaning….
Faddy is a legend – Hell no, read my post at 19:32
Willie – lol….. You do get me mate!
hahahahaha cedars send me that Nurse please…….Im stuck with a fucking Murse FFs
willierednut at 19:36 made me roar with laughter!
Kuszczak, clearly thinks very highly of himself. Enjoy playing championship football Thom
TonyBee
LOL
Papii – Switch to purse and the nurse is yours! hahaha
@TonyBee, Just gave me the biggest LOL for quite some time.
I am not sure how many people do this. But I actually picturize the scene in my mind and imagine those dialogues being spoken.
It is too awesome to explain in words.
Faddy, Cedars is just getting worked up so that his aide gives him his injection early.
Early and often.
Me, I am staying out of this one!
Nasri. No No No. If he signs then I will feel like a hypocrite. Maybe SAF can See something other than an over rated Zammo Mguire lookalike. Its a funny ol game with all sorts of twists and turns. Oh Roll on August.
@Cedars
I missed that post at 19:32, that clears it up then. I take it the majority of you would prefer Sneijder and Modric to Nasri??
Phil Jones fails medical and now Nasri joining United? Payback!
@smartalex
And nothing of value was lost. Bye Tom.
Faddy
I prefer to squat the fuck out of this annoying mosquito to be honest, the bitch is driving me crazy….
NURSE
@Willie
Yeah i know some of the reports about Nasri are fake to try and wind the Arsenal fans up, but there is genuine interest there from us.
Sorry about this, know i’m becoming a bit of a dick, just to let you know that Nasri isn’t involved in the France game with Poland. Evra starts again however.
FletchTHEMAN
You read me perfectly buddy! lol
I like Tomasz Kuszczak, and hope that he plays excellently and regularly for the rest of a long and fruitful career. With Edwin’s retirement and Lindegaard’s arrival, the goalkeeping ‘group’ has already endured upheaval, so no one would be surprised if Tomasz leaves. Who knows? All of us, soon enough.
i don’t think nasri is really as bad as is being made out to be.. he’s nowhere near scholes or even sneijder for that matter.. he’s just financially affordable.. does pass well…
having said that i will find it diffficult to accept him in a red shirt if it happens at all
If Kuszczak stays, Russel leaves.
I sniffed a hint of smartalex here…. Is the legend still around?
Jordan Hederson moves to the slums. Rat on the Menu.
Faddy – He’s injured. He’ll sign a new deal at Arsenal.
Watching a food channel where Nigella Lawson is the host…. Not sure if I am drooling over what she is cooking or her gigantic set of tits!
Brucie to Henderson,
Are you ready to play for a big club?
Excited Henderson
United have bid for me as well??
Nigella Lawson is NOT 50 yrs old. That cannot be true. DAMN!!!
@Cedars, If you’re drooling at the food, then that stupid nurse of yours is not doing her job.
i’d rather bop carol vorderman. Nigella is all talk.
dannysoya – You and I are not on talking terms till you change your user name, you have cost me a fortune in sushi buddy! hahaha

From the land of Cedars to the land of leprechauns, I will bill you for every torn muscle I suffered after reading your post!
So has Heskey signed yet?
Nasri is 8/11 to sign for United! It can’t be true!
Cedars – Right back at ya mate!
So the Deloitte people have confirmed that Manchester United spend what they earn properly and manage the club well.TQ.
The Glazers have not intefered in the running of the club cos they trust Gill and Fergie.
But they have had an impact on commercial deals .thus increasing our revenues.
They listened to Gilland his team about the initial buyout and reduced the risk as much as possible.
When they bought the club and did the risky buyout,it was cos they had done thier homework.
They knew we were well run, and they had seen that if they use thier American experience in the commercial area,they wud be making huge profits.
Thats why they took the risk. But its going to be interesting when we find out exactly how they paid the PIKS. Expect our debt to be paid by 2017,all of it.
Fergie is getting his wish,bigger stadium ,bigger crowds,more noise.
bigger stadium? did i miss something?
Good evening Costas! Heskey couldn’t find his reading glasses, so he’s off to fetch them.
DaveMalaysia! We’ve bought her a round-the-world ticket. CedarsDevil has her itinerary, I expect she’ll be with you soon.
@RedLife: the slow wheelsof that process is turning,some stuff goin on around the stadium ,including the new fans center,closure of the busby road . Slowly the issue of the railway will be adressed and the 2 more quadsrants expanded.
Hi Smartalex! He better find them quick, or we might sign Marcus Bent instead.
Marcus Bent just passed his medical and will sign for United in an hour or so…. Sir Alex has claimed that this is the best signing he has ever made…..
Please No Nasri PLEASE. Go for a PROPER midfielder like barton or Lee cattermole.
@smartalex; no fair,me want first,she vely the hot one, good in da kitchen and in da bed!
besides Cedars got meg as nurse.
Cheers Dave
@RedLife: Cheers dude! Hold yer glass of tuak up and scream ‘we love Nigella’
Dave Malaysia – I hate the glazers, but I do expect the debt to be paid off in 6 years time. Unlike some others, fergie has got the full use of our signings since the glazers arrived in 2005. So it is only fair now that he gets a new set of cash to breath new life into the team, and in de gea jones and young its money very well spent
nasri said to french tv tonight that talks with arsenil are ongoing.
In shocking news from Old Trafford, it appears that Marcus Bent was actually Darren Ferguson in disguise. Officials became suspicious when ‘Marcus” signed his name on the table, completely missing the contract.
i dont know why people think us or chelsea can get wesley for 30 -35 million
even carrol is 35 million and torres is 50 million
so wesley is 50 million definetely plus 180000 a week
so thats a HUGE SIGNING and with FFP coming inn ithnk he is staying
plus spurs are fed up selling to us and modric wont leave
so only players avaialble at realistic prices in this crazy market are those with 1 year left on there contracts like young nasri de rossi
Just thought I will post this link:
http://mufcfans.com/paulscholes/
Love ya Scholesy aka The Ginger Prince..
@ fergie is the boss: well dude, the animosity towards the Glazers is winding down,for us I think its a huge sight of relief thats we are ok and doing well.
Because the only thing we had to hold on to when they took over is that they were business people,they took the risk ,theres has to be a gameplan, just as major corporations do the big buyouts. Risky like hell but if it works bountiful for the owners.
Thats why i have such respect for Gill and Fergie,dont think we just realise how much we owe them for guiding us thru this and still being successful.
Thank God.
If fans take a breather and the club fix the ticketing system, its possible we have a long waiting list again, and no more advertising for the main games. All those pissed off season ticket holders may come back.

Sir Alex please sign me no matter the broadband issues
ROM REDS and MG Presents
20 and The Barca Protocol
plz sign justin fashanu
Sign Nigella. And Tanya from EastEnders.
SAF pls sign everybody
I prefer John Fashanu.
I want Fergie to sign this Tshabalala guy who scored the opening goal in the WC.
sine cos tan adds sum value
Nobody answered my idea from earlier.
Has anybody got an opinion on Heitinger.
He wants out of Everton – the replacement for him Rodwell is now deserving first team regular status.
Hes dutch and could hep with the signing of Scneijder.
He offers reald DM cover for Carrick or even the chance to play a 2man DM.
He offers training and ideas for the new boy Phil Jones as they are both CD DM.
Everton want Brown so the price would be reasonable.
He got sent off in the world cup and we collect them dont we, lol.
@Costas
Meh, I feel Justin would add just as much as John to the team.
I want us to sign Brett Favre – Could be our very own version of Rory Delap.
Justin Fashanu failed the medical on account of being dead. John Fashanu can’t join as he is the manager of Fash FC. Awoooooooogaaaaaaaaaa!
Sign Shaquille O’neal..He wants to play football now that he’s retired from basketball..Can be used as a power CF or CB..
Brett Favre has a tiny cock. That simply will not do.

That is the thread that has the brilliant Phil Jones quote willierednut just mentioned.
Some reactions:
- Seriously without trying to be bitter I’m loving the thought of a Wisdom-Kelly partnership for England keeping him out of the team
-Right, so what your kinda saying is he’s a fortune teller? And a glory hunter?
-if thats his attitude they’ve just wasted alot of money thinks hes made it at 19
Well, he has made it! He’s made it to the greatest club in the world.
Scotch and ice, at the bar!

Now, I go to sleep with happy thoughts in my mind and literally laughing to death.

Did Jones really say that? If so, to who?
@willierednut..No problem Mate..
@Zibbie – iam watching lol
Colbert – It was doing the rounds on twitter, so who knows if it’s true. It pissed the dippers at least lol.
@Colbert, I highly doubt it mate. Lad’s not given a proper interview yet and I don’t expect someone like him to make such a statement.
Probably United fans on twitter winding the bitters, dippers and whatever.
By the way I don’t think that Jones actually said that..Who ever made it up certainly got the L’pool fans riled up..
@Balaji Sivaraman, Pleasure is also mine! That thread reminds me of Eric Cartman!

5 Mexican players test positive for drugs at the Gold cup. Is Hernandez out there? I don’t think he’s one of them…
All I know if sir alex signs nasri be a lot of fuckers on here eating crow it’ll be the funniest thing to hit rom in years a whole lineup of the usual suspects,lol
No, Chicha is not one of them.
Five Mexico players test positive for drugs. Javier Hernandez having to retake his test, could only manage a little pea!!
No he’s no actually one of them.
That thread is hilarious, I love all their deluded dreams of winning stuff. ‘we’re on the up and showing intent’, ‘Fergie will go and he balance of power will have shifted’, ‘we’ll win a trophy and United wont’ and my personal favourite ‘we’ve got Kenny’. Ha ha ha, dream on rat munchers.

willie – they’ll never learn do they?
City tried to throw money at Young and he turned them down. How small time are shity? Deluded cunts.

That is really bad news about the mexico players getting banned. Could lead to them needing to reneg on their promise to only use Javier in the Gold Cup. Might need him for the Copa America. If so, he will need a break at the start of the season and no preseason with the team.
Mail are furthering the naseri nonsense. I won’t link their baseless article. There are no quotes, or any reference to sources, vague or otherwise.
Naseri is not a United target. It’s all gamesmanship and bullshit.
City are like a rich old man who can’t get laid even though is willing to pay for it,ends up with all the disease ridden skanks and still costs him a fortune
FletchTHEMAN – possibly these players will not be banned.
“The cause is believed to be because of (eating) beef or chicken between May 17 and 20 so an investigation will be made with the food suppliers. For the time being we don’t see any negligence by anyone, not even theirs,” De Maria added.
“We know there is a health alert throughout the country because of food contaminated with clenbuterol and that will be taken into account for the investigation.”

DAMN!!1 the sun is in United overdrive today. Now they claim we’ve got Young i just hope nani does not go. Please Fergie don’t do it. don’t give in to them. Nani is a United boy thru and thru. let’s keep it that way.
Burger King saves $ on restaurant placement they just put one with in a certain radius of a McDonalds. Many scouting departments follow that same reasoning and go after Man Utd transfer targets.
dannysoya – I like nani but he is just frustarting, he holds on the ball to much and he still goes down far to easy, if inter are interested united should do a cash plus player deal, swap nani for schneider and 30 million.

Brian: What?

“I mean what have the Romans ever done for us??”
Starting to doubt that we will see De Gea between the sticks for us next season. Nasri would be an amazing signing and still there is no confirmation that Jones has signed.
Mirror Mirror on the wall, do you tell the truth at all? Probably not, as they say “Wayne Rooney, who picks up £250,000-a-week.” which is surely wrong.

rumours that Rovers blocked the signing and demands 25m for Jones.
fuckin hell 25m?!
and if ferguson goes for sanchez I can see Nani leave.
Zelh don’t believe that nonsense. We saw Phil Jones in Manchester. THAT’S IT!!! He will join us what the hell?
All I did was say to my wife, “That piece of halibut was good enough for Jehovah!”
dannysoya – It just makes no sense. buyout clause is 16m so how can they demand on 25m? doesn’t work for me. Yeah he personally agreed and had his medical.
sounds like lots of rubbish but you never know.
Zelh – Not heard any rumors of the deal; blocked, it looks like it has gone through has latest sources have been saying
here is the story on espn
http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/927133/phil-jones-valued-by-rovers-at-L25m,-not-L16m-?cc=5739
Zelh as long as that story is not being reported by Sky sports you can forget about some other idiot.
dannysoya – never said it’s true. just wanted to let you know. heard from lots of sources that’s a done deal.
sounds like the same BS with the failed medical.
Zelh – what could happen is, they look into loop holes to see if they have not fucked up their buyout clause to see if they can get more, but what will happen is, they will realise that is the accepted bid and he moves. The deal I think is done, soccernet does not have any sources seems like a half baked rumor, lets not forget about jones failing a medical where jones has had no history of injury problems. 3 quality signings, all we need now is the signing of a top class CM, is nasri a right fit, only question is? can he play CM?
“All right, no one is to stone ANYONE until I blow this whistle! Even… and let me make this absolutely clear… even if they do say “Jehovah”!
fitb – Imo Nasri isn’t what we need. not a great passer, but more a dribbler who’s looking for the 1on1. don’t think he can play CM. has no defensive qualities.
just my opinion. good player but not what we need.
Zelh – so the question is? will united go 433, nasri I think maybe the best option for an attacking midfielder, has modric and schneider are rpoving awfully difficult to get. I dont think arsenal have used nasri’s best capabilitys, if we get him for 8 million say what you like that is a bargain. But maybe the signing of young is a formation change to 433 esp in europe
could be
de gea
rafeal ferdinand vidic evra
carrick
fletcher nasri
young hernandez rooney
Get rid of the words ‘Spending’ and ‘On Wages’ from the title and you’ve got a headline in itself, it would also be a fact
, In Sir Alex we trust
fitb – 8m would be an absolute bargain but can’t see it happen. And I don’t believe Ferguson will switch to 433 to put Nani and Valencia on the bench.
Zelh – nani I am still not convinced, and his place is in real danger with young signed in the next week. He wont be sold but I see nani has our third choice wide player behind valencia and young, who offer a greater potent threat in our wide positions
I cant see Nasri coming to Utd – its the same shit we saw when Rooney was moving to Citeh, its all media fed bullshit to try and negotiate more money. Infact his agents are playing the exact same cards.
He’s just had his best season by a mile, and with 12 months left on his contract, he has his club with their pants down, bent right over a barrel, and Nasri and his agent are primed and ready for full insertion and a session of sodomising.
He’s been offered £90k per week, and give it a few weeks and he’ll be signing a deal for £120-130k with a typical smile on his face and pledges that he has always been committed to the club.
I hate him, I think he is a twat, but he is a good player. The best thing if this did go through would be all those North London wankers faces as he trotted out in a Utd shirt.
Lets not get any hopes up though…!
Young will be playing on the left.
that’s for sure.
Nani in form is head and shoulders above Valencia. can cross, cut inside, beat his man with ease. just everything.
let’s wait and see.
guys, mexico vs cuba now in gold cup. chicharito just scored with a header. here’s the link:
http://www.goal.com/en/match/58576/cuba-vs-mexico/play-by-play
How many goals had Chicharito now got for Mexico?? I know they play some shit teams but his goals to games ratio must be staggering…
something about 19 goals in 26 games.
I remember when 1 goal in 2 games at international level was considered the rate for the best in the world. When players like Shearer, Owen, Batistuta were at the top. Now you have David Villa banging in 1 in 1 for Spain, and Chicho almost at 1 in 1 for Mexico. Quite something!
dude, france n argentina ain’t shit teams, r they?=P btw, he’s got 17 goals in 24 games for mexico prior to this game.
berbafan – don’t forget his goal against spain
Mojo quit dominating Frankie. Get the hell off the couch you filthy beasts.
@Zelh: espnsoccernet is a pure fucked-up website with stupid journalists. see this link: http://twitter.com/#!/espnsoccernet
that bloke is just crapping rubbish on twitter as he is probably lack of attention. another prove that the website is a piece of junk is this article: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/926875/sunderland's-steve-bruce-bids-L12m-for-three-man-united-players?cc=4716
the website said that brucie has confirmed exclusively to ESPNsoccernet that Sunderland have launched a £12 million combined bid for three Manchester United players but there r no quotes from him whatsoever. btw, why would brucie confirmed his intentions to sign them to that fucked-up website rather than skysports. in a nutshell, espnsoccernet = utter junk n fucked-up website. so dun bother to read their articles anymore.
chicho just scored a second=D
@Zelh: oh yeah, that goal against spain was brilliant. super run n finish. but silva had to steal his limelight in the match=(. btw, casillas was the keeper wasn’t he, n he still found a reason to say that real r better than us when they got spanked 5-0 despite parking the bus. zzz…but silva had to steal his limelight
2 more so that puts Pea at 19 Goals in 25 games. And where does he play? Old Trafford !
mexico have beaten cuba 5-0. chicho bagged a brace n an assist. not bad if he does that for my fantasy premier league team next season=D
Hernandez is on fucking fire!!! 5 goals in 2 games. He better save some of those goals for Utd, we’re gonna need them.
@Fitb
How could guys like you still not accept the fact that nani is one of the best players in our team.I am thankful that our manager is fergie(Like your name says) and not some brainless guys like you.
You will eat your words when nani will again have the highest number of assist in the coming season.
Nani s a class and If he leaves then we are again back to the same situation when we CR7 and tevez left.
Talk some sense.Nani is going nowhere and for sure we are not signing nasri as we have signed young.I would want cleverley to shine with us rather than nasri.
Next season would be the evolution if players like nani,ando and our academy players.
And one more thing I like sneijder but Why should we swap nani for him.Nani is 24 so he still hasnt reached his peak.Sneijder is 27 and is a bit injury prone.
I would like sneijder to play for us but not at the cost of nani.We are a club who will be competing in every competition next season so we need all three of nani ,valencia and young.
CHICHARITO IS ON FIRE!!! please don’t stop and also don’t get injured. This guy is proving himself day by day. Thank You Fergie for this gift. Also thank you God for Hernandez.
OOT:
Young deals : http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3629324/Ashley-Young-takes-Utd-spree-to-55m.html
@Zibbie: sorry to hear about yr back. hope u get better soon. Dont piss off aquaris @dazbomber,he likely put a plastic explosive up yr back!
@Dre.FU= Forever United : Beleive in abundance dude,he will keep scoring and scoring and scoring .
@Ash: I have said it before,Fergie has his plans. Nani is part of it,this transfer talk was started by the media. Our Midfield that earned his trust and new contracts : Fletcher,Carrick,Anderson,Gibson,Nani,Park. Valencia is on his first contract,may get a new one soon.
Bebe may go out on loan.
Obertan has the skills and power but his psychology is the one they have been trying to improve.
Loan or back to france for obertan.
@Dave Malaysia: nani will definitely stay, no doubt whatsoever. young might be played more centrally, if not, then nani will compete with valencia for the right wing berth. i dun think he would mind at all.
I cant see why nani has to leave if young is coming. We have park who will turn 31, giggs 37, obertan who is unproven.. Adding young will provide us with 3 genuine wingers. Nani being able to play both wings will allow us to rotate them according to form or fatigue. Nice move i say
@berbafan: Berba will stay too.
@Dave Malaysia
Believe me my friend i do believe in abundance, i’m just echoing the concerns of most Utd fans regarding a hernandez burn out, i wouldn’t like him to empty the tank with mexico and have little in his reserves when playing for Utd. i know that sounds selfish and im sorry but he is now pivotal a really important player for us now, i would be saying the same thing if it was rooney for engand or vidic for serbia.
also when will he get his month off? he more than anyone deserves a break, will he miss the summer tour of america? the mexican reds will be dissapointed, will he miss the community shield match against the berties? will he miss the first couple games of the new season?
thats what i want to know
@Dave
Absolutely right.Nani is a very important player to be sold.People forget that he along with berba were the players who helped us win #19.
And you are right about berba too.He will stay atleast for one more year.Owen will be going next season.Sir alex extended owens stay for one more year because players like wekbeck,macheda,Josh king and will keane can learn from owen.They all need one more year to be playing regularly and some even needs 2 years to be a regular starters for us.
So we have to Believe in Sir alex and let him do his job.
@Dave Malaysia: definitely!!!=D
Dre.FU= Forever United
Your concern about our hernandez is absolutely right.But I think he will be getting a month break as he is not participating in the copa america.You know what I wanted hernandez to play in copa america but like you said for mare than 1 year chicho has been playing some continuous football.So the lad needs some time off.
I think he will be available for us from the first game.And don’t worry his goal scoring ability is increaing by every game he plays.Give the lad a ball and he will score for you.If he had been given a proper ball against barca he would have scored.
Lad is a genius and Long it may continue Or should I say Forever it may continue.
nasri at 8million is the bargain of the season
@sachu
Tell me one thing where will nasri fit in our team?He is a good player no doubt but he will block cleverley progress.We don’t need him.We need a central midfielder to replace scholes
@Dave Malaysia -Good morning the sun is shinning and we are spending , spend spend ,spend.ha ha ha ha.
@ash
mate he can play CM
there are no top class central midfielders available at realistic prices except nasri and de rossi
@Ash
Thanks man, how do you know that he’s not going to play in the copa america? Is that official or are you assuming, because he’s on fire right now so I’m sure mexico wouldn’t want to leave him out, but I hope your right though.
Please can any one tell me, have United spoke to Nasri or is this all here say?
@Dre.FU
The squad for meixo in copa america has been announced and javier is not there.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Copa_Am%C3%A9rica_squads#.C2.A0Mexico_.28preliminary.29
So he will get a month rest and then can play in the last few pre season matches.Maybe against barca on july 30 he will play.
@sachu
Nasri is attacking midfiellder adn not a central midfielder.I know nasri is a good player but he is not a central midfielder which we need.But who knows anything can happen.
Whatever maybe I don’t want us to sell Nani.He is a class player.
@dazbomber
mate nothings confirmed
but sky say he is our no 1 target
@ash
nani wont go how did you come to that conclusion
@Ash
Thanks a lot for that man, unlucky for mexico that they won’t have him but, he has to rest and I’m glad that he’s not gonna play all summer.
Looking forward to seeing us lift #20 & #4 next season
back and forth, attacking midfielder, no we need a centraL midfielder, no its a Central midfielder who will score 20 – lol at that one, a defensive midfielder comfortable with the ball at his feet.
What type of midfielder indeed.I’ve suggested both attacking and defensive. If we’re going to go in, lets go all in no point mucking about. Lol there could be a fair amount of posters on here with egg on their face if SAF does pick up nasri – my opinion? It aint happening, arsene would rather lose his nuts than sell him to us – not that he uses them anyway.hahahhahahaha
@slim
mate is there any good centre midfielders available
i got a feeling its either nasri de rossi or some unknown guy from antartica
@sachu- thanks, I would never would have beleived it. its a funny old game.
@Ash
“Tell me one thing where will nasri fit in our team?He is a good player no doubt but he will block cleverley progress.We don’t need him.We need a central midfielder to replace scholes”
By that logic any player we get in the midfield will block cleverley progress, he after all a midfielder not to mention pogba and tunni. It surprises me this notion of players not fitting in our squad because their not tough barrel chested players. Berba fit right in, it took a while but he did,i don’t care what anyone says the man is a genius and if United can’t harness his talents that is a real shame. Also nani ain’t going no where. The only way he could leave is if he hands in a transfer request.
arsene wenger is having a tortorous start tothe transfer summer
looks like nasri will go
fabregas could go
liverpool want clichy i dont know why
they lost jones to us
POOR OLD ARSENE
@sachu
thats the thing. at this point it doesn’t matter who it is or should i say what it is. So long as an improvement is made, i’m happy. Having both positions would be heaven. If i had to choose i’d go for the more solid midfield player. In this case as fan i’ll admit its more who. so i’d go for de rossi,players of his mould are very difficult to come by. Defensive mdifield mugs like lass diara are a big no no for me. Aggression shouldn’t be the determining factor in this midfield conundrum we’ve got ourselves into. I really don’t know what the master is thinking. We have to admit, the nasri links is very very surprising but there you go. We all wanted an active transfer season and we sure are getting it
NASRI IS A CUNT
snood wearing bastard
but i have tosay he has the technical ability to succed at any club
he could score us more than 10 goals and assists
@slim
spot on mate
also just to add nasri young and de rossi have 1 thing in common
they all have just a year left in there contracts
and to be honest people who have a year left are the only ones who are available at realistic prices
it will be nice if we can get all three
nasri?
how about fabregas?
him in CL final against barca…
haha…
just kidding…
A.Young 130,000 a week? WTF..
@Dave Malaysia JUNE 10, 2011 AT 5:13
One problem with your theory mate, Gibson is probably on his way to Sunderland so I’m not sure contracts are anything to go by…
@slim and sachu
I think nani will be playing more as a attackig mid fielder than a winger in the coming season.Slim you are right that cleverley would have to prove himself and get into the team.
But I am bit confused over nasri coming here because then we will have 4 attacking players in nani,young valencia and nasri and add likes of cleverley and welbeck to that list.
I have a feeling ando will play as a attacking midfielder next season.He has started to score goals in his last few games for us and that shows he can be useful as an attacking player.
@ Dre.FU= Forever United : Good to see that @Ash has cleared that up. Chica gets his rest and remember ,Fergie will rest him over the course of the season.
@Ash:Good to see we agree.
@berbafan09: Too much invested in each other. Berba;s worst moment for last year at ewood park,when he got booed . This year finally he did his magic,won us games,helped us to the trophy.
I hope next season he steps up again and does better.
@dazbomber: aye mate,the sun is shining , hope we all have a good day. Maybe the confirmed signing of Steven Defour and Rafael Varane.
@badger: damm dude ,that sounded so official i thot u were a police officer!
I agree with u but giving the new contract is an indication of trust and faith.Well we will find out soon enough.
@dave malaysia
mate is defour a top player
i have never seen him play
OMG looks like we REALLY interested in this guy. Nasri? REALLY? Modric did not even commit his future to Spurs. let’s go for him instead. i don’t want this dumbass at United.
@sachu : Defour is a top player,midfield engine,scores goals like scholes use to do ,by arriving at the right time at the top of the box and smack it in.
why are we talking bout this kid,cos Fergie sent him a personal letter ,telling him to keep his chin up basically,after the kid had a serious injury.
So now the kid has recovered and is back in action for several months, our scouts were there to watch him play for belgium vs turkey.
@ Dave Malaysia
Sorry mate, didn’t mean to put the wind up you!
Ash – really, yea like he could not get ahead of valencia and park on the wings for the last month of the season esp CL final, brainless you putting him in the same sentance has CR7 LOL that is one of the brainless statement you can make, you look like a complete idiot, when you say stuff like that. stop overhyping nani’s state of play. Since valencia returned to go alongside park, our game picked up and we were cutting through defences, and I am not a huge fan of nani, he is nowhere near has good has valencia, he goes down to easy, he holds onto the ball to much and he still does not track back at times. He gets bullied far to easy away from home, has the anfield game a perfect example That is why valencia and young will be united’s first choice wide boys, they dont mess about and believe me he will be playing allot on the bench when everyone is fit.
Also Ash I think it would make sense if we moved nani and even do a swap deal with inter or spurs, cleverly many have said he can play on the wide positions. I see a formation change at the club, that is why guys like young is a tactical dream, his ability to play in 3 positions is what the boss wants. Like I have said about nani, much like anderson flaters to decieve. Has nani put in performences like what kanchelskis giggs valencia sharpe etc etc have done no, he racks up assists but he has been effective without blowing sides away, and he was typical of how united have been bullied away from home
@FITB
Look mate I don’t like comparison between two united players.Nani is a class player.He was the one who kept us at the top of the league when rooney was shagging girls and begging transfer to other clubs.
You seem a glory hunter fan.Nani was asked to play in left after valencia returned and left is not nani;s preferred position so his form went bad.Look i like valenci abut that lad hasnt even tried to play in the left side atleast nani does perform.When nani came against barca in last 20 mins we were looking more dangerous.So your point which says nani is nowhere valencia is wrong and which proves that I was right in calling you BRAINLESS.
And again sneijder is 27 so Why would you swap him with a 24 year old guy who hasn’t still reached his peak.
Ash – dont call me aglory hunter, just because I say nani has flatered to decieve which is right. Valencia improved uniteds attack, which nani for me gets bullied out of games allot still. You comment losing nani is like losing ronaldo is the most brainless statement to make, schneider is 26, and he is at the peak of his powers, nani this is the best you will see of the guy. I dont see any improvement in the guy, and unless he improves his selfish ways and stop falling down to easy, and holding onto the ball for far to long. Uniteds best wide players is the ones who run with the ball at accelrating pace, and they track back.
Signs are there, we won’t sign the ones we want as usual. What did I say about the club being the worst when it comes to getting players?
Now we will see us trying to get third tier players from shite clubs and the club trying to build them up as world players.
We need a new board and real businessmen who know how to run a business which is what United is still until the current owners leave even though new suits will buy the club and continue what we see now.
@fitb
I never compared ronaldo with nani.I said if nani leaves it would leave us again in the situation of 09.Whether you like it or nani nani has been one our best performers last season.
And chesck your facts buddy sneijder is 27.Sneijder is better player than nani in current period but I believe nani hasn’t reached his peak.
And I don’t know how you say a player cannot improve now eventhough he is 24 only.Every player has his flaws like nani has his (which you are continuously mentioning) but again every player has his flaws.Nani will improve as some things come with maturity.So keep aside your hatred for nani and love the players we have rather than thinking about other teams player.
