I fear this year might be a re-building year!

For me personaly all the top teams take time to gel before they become championship contenders!

If you look at all the teams who compete each year for the premiership the main body of the team have been playing together for 2-3 years.

I do feel you will see a new Rooney this coming year. Also Berbatov will imrpove, how much remains to be seen!!!

If we bring in 2-3 players we will just have to see how they fit in.

My preference would be Benzema / Ribery & Valencia

Reserve to this would be Valencia / Ashley Young / Aguero

I know Glen Johnsonhas Joined Liverpool!!!!! I would have had him at united big time, he was awsome last year. We have Brown who for me is an injury concern! Will he stay fit? Erm histroy tells us no! We have nevile who is at the end of his carrier with Injury doubts and Rafael who is a year or 2 off prem quality. (good in sperts but we need a more consistant & polished player) We do have MR Oshea but unfortunitaly im not a fan. Dependable defending scores the odd goal but inept at going forward or passing. How many times can the same player miss place a simple pass is beyond me!

Oh.. Suppose if Hardgreaves is back we could play him or fletcher at right back but unfortunitaly i think he is Keiron Dyer Flu or something... I just hope he gets fit!! Its a bloody long time!

Quality pic. On another topic, what's this about our supposed interest in Aguero? A good player, but I don't want another Argentinian who will be a hit in his first season, then decides to fall away the next. Any chance of us signing someone this close season!?

Of course it's their year. Each year is their year, at least until United stops kidding (usually after January)...

It will never be their year if united are still around, breaking records, developing stars, winning trophies and making history.

reina(vds)

johnson(brown) agger (vidic) carragher (rio) aurelio(evra)

mascherano(fletcher) alonso(carrick)

kuyt(park) gerrard(rooney) riera(nani)

torres (berba)

u have to say that their team is on par and even better than ours in some areas. riera>nani torres>berba kuyt>park alonso>carrick agger=vidic

the only thing that sets us apart is giggs scholes.

kapti14 June 24, 2009

lets be honest guys they looked more as a team last season than us on occasions and if it wasnt for spastic defendin against chelsea on corners they might well have knocked barca out and who knows. we have to be very wary. maybe it is their year.

i mean we man utd supporters keep knocking them over saying they r crap but their team is well cordinated and they have two fantastic players in gerrard and torres. people talk about squad depth theirs is not too bad:

arbeloa babel lucas skrtel dossena insua benayoun as i said only thing that sets us apart is giggs and scholes.

as for benitez whatever we say about him he is intelligent and looks like he has a plan.

King Eric June 24, 2009

Kapti14 - I have to disagree mate with some of your comparisons. Agger is NOT as good as Vida, no way near. Riera is NOT better than Nani. Nani was excellent in his first season, bit shit last year but hardly played. Riera is shite mate, even the dippers aren't really keen.

Torres is a different player to Berba so we can't really compare, suffice to say the ladyboy is quality. Kuyt is NOT better than Park. Alonso and Carrick not much to choose between them. The difference is though Carrick will still be a United player next season!

"Benitez has a plan" Come off it mate, the man is a fool. As long as he is their manager United will keep on pipping them. He is way too cautious and if they didn't have to go all out attack towards the end of the season they would still have been drawing games. You give them far too much credit. IF Fletch and Hargreaves HAD been fit against Barca we may have won the lot. It's all ifs and buts.

Oh,thank God I'm not the only one who disagreed with kapti14's comments!The FSW has absolutely no plan,the only reason they came close to us is because we didn't play well enough.

kapti14 June 24, 2009

guys we cant keep being blind we have to admit they have made massive progress.

we cant just keep saying they are crap u cant be bad if u lose only two games in the league. the league never lies remember.

to stay ahead we just have to spend but wisely of course.

Does anybody else think kapti14 might be a dipper?

Losing only 2 is good.Drawing the number of times they did is not.

Log in to Reply

kapti14 June 24, 2009

yea but surely they wont draw as many next season.

dude i hate liverpool every season i put a quid on them to get relegated. but i have to say we better watch out.

@kapti
They won't beat us TWICE next year plus if we can get a half decent start for once then we won't let them get a head start like last season but I do agree they have improved.

true but our won record against top 4 is not that good.some tough places to go this year

@kapti14- mate you're talking rubbish. You're comparing Nani to riera. Riera had many more no. Of games than Nani so the comparison is not worth. And if you're comparing last season then you have to put ronaldo in mix cause he was still one of ours. That united lineup is not even first choice . Also we never really went out of the second gear so here again you're wrong. Add to that we haven't had any new summer signings. And we'll probably have benzema and valencia. So we'll start season stronger than you think.
AND AGGER AS GOOD AS VIDIC;ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND.

kapti14 June 24, 2009

at Manutd forever we have not signed anyone yet.

plus u have to consider adapdation time.

well riera is starting regularly for spain ahead of silva so he cant be that bad.

i know vidic is an institution for man utd fans. but agger is not that far off him as well as skrtel.

of course i cant put ronaldo in the mix bcos he is gone.

"true but our won record against top 4 is not that good. some tough places to go this year"

at least we struggle against the top four, like how all good teams are supposed to, and don't drop points against the lower sides in the PL, like the rest of the top 3 did last season. But you're right, last season we were nowhere near excellent, even thought we managed to bag 3 trophies. a striker, benzema, and another, macheda/welbeck to be brought into the first team. we need to keep playing with 3 or 4 strikers because we will need a lot of goals next season. valencia would do the job and and getting an attacking midfielder, possibly costa, would be the icing on the cake.

Off topic - I nearly crashed my van on the way home. I was listening to TalkShite and the topic was "Is man City spending all this money a good thing for football?" A Citeh fan called "Mick" called in and he was deadly serious. They really do think they will win the league next year and we will drop out of the top four. He said they will be playing football to the standard that the Premiership has never seen! He said that over the next 6 months huge things will happen. Fat Danny Kelly said "Give us a taste of what we can expect" He said "Well , you know the Kaka deal fell through, well at the same time our man was in Spain and he may have done a deal for Messi". Yeah right. He said Uniteds success was based on our fan base! He said "When Citeh and Chelsea were in Div 2 the rentboys got 12,000 a game and Citeh got over 40,000 attendance." Yeah course you did mate, you can't even fill Wastelands now, thats why you have to give under 16 free admission and half price for cup games. All done on a tacky radio advert. He said "I can't wait to see United's fans faces when we sign Tevez". Yeah cos most United fans give a shit less Mick! Finally he said "The news of Ronaldo going has made our summer". So then "Mick" our selling of a player is the highlight of your season! Fat Danny Kelly was mocking us and going along with him! These ABU fuckers are what we are dealing with!

Sorry to bore you all with this but I was fuming, they are more deluded than the dippers. I cannot wait for next season, and hope we win the league (AGAIN) to shut these cunts up!!

@king eric - i can understand mate. These abu's talk all crap. I don't have to go thru a lot of this shit because i live in india , But we still the we get to see steve mcmohan week in week out and believe me he is just utter nonsense . He was good till last season but this season he has been all bull shit . Always taking crap about us , never giving us credit for anything, hell he even called Saf coward at one point of the season(i think it was post aston villa game where we won 3-2).
PS- Drive carefully next time.

Benitez has just blown his transfer kitty on a dodgy right back. Now he needs to sell his best passer of a ball to get a some fund to splash out big on maybe hmmm... a 3rd choice keeper? Yea, he has a plan, big plan, we should be worried

he got us last season humiliated us 4-1 at OT.

dont fall in the oldest trick in the book: underestimate yur opponent especially one as treacherous as liverscum.

Don't get me started on Steve McMahon.The most ABU pundit ever.His only redeeming feature is his honesty.Everytime he was asked if Liverpool would win the league,he would reply no.Now he'll probably be saying this is their year.

Steve McMahon was a thug. Again linked to Citeh, there was nothing better than seeing his face when we hammered them 5-0 with Eric and Co in I think 94/95 season!

This year Benitez REALLY can't say 'its the money they have & spent' as they've just got Glenn Johnson for 18.5mil. & we've not yet spend a quid.
It will be L'pool's year(trophyless), again!

If only Messrs. Ronaldo and Tevez are as loyal to us as Messrs. Gerrard and Torres to Liverpuddle.

The fact remains that we are weaker without the two and believe me that the prospective replacements to be bought from the GBP 80 million, will not be of the same quality and chemistry.

I'm sure most of you will agree with me that realistically, United will not win the Premier League for 2009-2010 season. I do hope that I'm wrong.

@Kapti14
You keep banging on the 2 games we lost to Liverpool. But you seem to forget the fact was that we played on 2nd gear for almost the whole year whilst they seem to be in top gear, and we still got away with it. More chances that we can move up a gear than them finding another gear. This is not called overconfidence, this is call trust. Chelsea is still a better bet for a good challange. Lampard was magnificant, heads and shoulders above Gerrard if you ask me.

Spot on Marq , I keep telling him he gives the dippers too much credit!

lets hope we can find that gear u r talking about without little cristiano.

but on another subject i think we need another assistant manager who is a bit more modernistic in his approach.
