@Xerxes
LMAO!!! very true, Hunter will be a great addition and he will be cheaper than Benzema/Berbatov.

a right back that can double as a center will surely solidy our defence line. i kind of like the Valencia guy. we probably might need someone in the mould of Hleb to add a bit of flair to our game. lets see how it goes.

I agree Hunter, Tevez, Rooney and Ronaldo will kill off anyteam in the world!

By the time Man u gets all the players we are craving for we would pobably have 2 teams that can chase titiles in all fronts.
One team chases tha FA cup and Champ League, while the other one goes for the EPL and Carling Grin Grin Grin Grin

Anyways we all know that the RB position is a priority and Fergie Knows that.
Come to think of it we don't really need to spend big this summer if manucho is recalled, all we need is a RB and Out and out striker in the mode of The HUNTER.

Well guys these all kind of speculations until the deal is done and these guys put pen to paper and wear the United jersey, People like RA are looking around to splash money on players other clubs are eyeing Grin Grin Grin Grin .

Moscow will be hot, and i still believe Fergie will start the team that played Westham, if there is going to be any alteration Hargreaves might start ahead of Carrick.

@ tkb417,

We have got Nani, Ronaldo and Anderson to run the wings for us. Valencia doesn't look superb.
He is a one-trick pony.
Fergie must get Huntelaar. . . . .Offer Saha and little cash for Micah Richards and we will retain the title AGAIN.

@ Coded guy,

With United pocketing 50 mil for winning the Prem and maybe 27 milla for keeping the UCL, we are bouyant and must match our rivals to compete next season. Fergie got lucky. Has any manager ever won the Premiership without an out n out striker before? I don't think so.
How Rooney and Tevez managed it must be the 8th wonder of the world. I wouldn't want to rely on that luck again next season.
Roman Abrahamovic is getting impatient and will be spending BIG this summer to take Chelski back to winning ways.

Like the ARSES will always says 'spending big does not guarantee trophies"
We have also pointed out here that a Huntelaar, Rooney,Tevez, Manucho combo will be hot for any defence.
Fergie got away with only Rooney as the fit striker because of the very Rich midfield that we posses, Gush, that midfield would make Derby County strikers score 20goals a piece through the campaign. We also had a bit of luck, well who doesn't  Cool

Let RA spend big, at the end of the day he needs a very astute coach to manage whatever big names he would buy, at the end of the day the players still have to show their worth on the field of play. if you have too many BIG names in your team sometimes it may lead to ego tripping.
loved the push chelsea gave us this season and i think we need a team like that to keep both Fergie and the boys aware of the danger.

As for Le Arse we would wait and see Grin

« #18756 on: May 19, 2008, 04:11 PM »

ive been scared all tru the season because we have only two strikers. Rooney and Tevez aint the Drogba kind of of strikers, yet we were able to come out unsctached.
we need an out and out striker for next season. anybody will do. be it Fabiano, Hunter, Berba or even Ashton(LOL)

we still ave a game in hand, my fingers are crossed as usual.

hey guys, wht time will the game come on?
Russia is not a time friendly country. i hope the game wont be when im at work

@ Coded guy,

Spending big has worked for Man Utd. I cannot imagine that United team without the FANTASTIC FOUR players we bought last summer.
Remember how those Gaynners were bleating like billy-goats on heat when we signed Tevez? Even Loyika said buying Tevez was an overkill.
Who woulda thunk Ronaldo will be suspended for 3 games, Saha will be out till eternity and Rooney will break his metatarsal in the opening game?
Fergie knew what he was doing splashing 60 mil. . . . . I expect him to splash anutha 50 mil this summer.
United's beautiful football in the last 16 years brought em to this level. . . . We can spend our money as we so wish.

@ tkb417,

Den Ashton is anutha SAHA. He is too injury prone. . . . It's like egging Ferguson to buy Robin Van Rapist.
Are u aware Van Persie has never scored 12 league goals in a season in his entire career? His constant injuries wouldn't let him score.
HUNTELAAR is ma choice. He is experienced. . . . he has led Ajax as a captain and he is a poacher(a complete goal-poacher).

The match will kick-off at 7.45pm UK time.

@Xerxes

I get your point but i also think we had to spend big last summer, no doubt the fantastic Four have definitely make the difference for us this season. The point am trying to make is that those Big summer signings are quite young in age and we should use them till they start dwindling in form or become injury prone.

We have been talking bout signings and we have only been talking bout a RB and out and striker, which other department do you think we need to Buy?

Strikers Rooney, Tevez, Huntelaar(if we get him) manucho
Midfield  Fletcher,Nani,Anderson,Carrick,Ronaldo,Hargreaves, Park, Scholes and probably Giggsy
Defender  Rio, Vidic,Brown, Evra, O'shea The new RB whoever, Pique(if he does not go2 Barca) and Silvestre

This line up will make Wengay Faint anyday Grin Grin Grin Grin

The defence is probably where we need some backup most, both RB and LB i presume.
Is sylvestre going to bordeaux?

« #18759 on: May 19, 2008, 05:03 PM »

Mikael Silvestre may leave this summer if he wins the UCL.
There will be nothing else to motivate him to stay with United as he would have won everything as far as club competitions are concerned.
However, have u forgotten the Brazilian teams are joining this summer. Fergie stopped em playing in Brazil so they don't cop any injury.
Trust me, Fabio and Rafael will excel here. I saw them in the last under-17 and Fabio shone like a billion stars.

First we need to DO chelsea in the CL.

Was it Dynamo Kiev we thumped 4-0 in the CL earlier this year? when we were on a four goals spree earlier in the season.

Klass of course is class. lets get him and let us have another RVN in our folds.

@ tkb417,

Huntelaar all the way.
Lets hope Ferguson turns in his direction.
Hunter bagged 33 goals in 34 appearances this season. . . .It seems other managers must be blind or there's something unattractive about him.
Besides, he is just 24. . . . . He will be the perfect mix to Tevez(24) Ronaldo(23) Rooney(23) and Manucho(24).

Re: The Undisputed Champions of England:The Red Devil's Zone
« #18764 on: May 19, 2008, 06:07 PM »

Fergie will buy Berbatov - given the success with Tevez who had premiership experience last time around, that is who he will go for.

Huntelaar may be attractive in the long run, but Fergie will buy local for a striker.

I suspect that there is something unattractive about Huntelaar though, because even Real on their raid of Holland last season took Schneider, Drenthe and co, but didn't even sniff at him, I wonder why. But all in all, Berba will be Fergie's choice. Then someone to own that defensive slot Wes is filling in for right now.

Y'all should calm down about Manucho - he is essentially  unproven yet, he might as well be Tresor Mputu right now  Grin Grin

Re: The Undisputed Champions of England:The Red Devil's Zone
« #18765 on: May 19, 2008, 06:16 PM »

erm, ive been asking maself that question. why is everybody avoiding the guy
The guy has been on a scoring spree for 2-3 seasons now and yet hes not been rushed after like the others.

Even Luis Fabiano is commanding more in the transfer market. If i Benzema was available, he would be my first choice. if not, Berba and Hunter in that order.

Manucho? i think the guy has all it takes to be a success. i don't expect him to break into the first team next season. He will have to learn the ropes for a season at least. some appearances in the carlings and also when we need to rest some big boiz will be enough for the lad in his first season.
lets see how it goes. maybe the tourney in Africa will show us what hes got up his sleeves

@ Debosky,

Go away!!!!
Who needs Dimitar "Le Sulk" Berbatov to fondle with the team spirit in Man Utd? I don't like Berbatov at all.
He is anutha Nicholas Anelka who only plays well when he starts games.
Ruud Van Nistelrooy didn't need any Premiership experience to set this league ablaze.
SPURS won't let Berba go on a cheap and i see no economic sense paying 25+ million for Berbatov. . . Its sterling FUCKERY!!!!

Manucho is unproven? What other applesauce would u spill again today? A player that copped 4 good goals(without penalties) Shocked Shocked
The same Goncalves that took Africa apart with his subliminal skills in Accra scoring mouth-watering goals.
Angola didn't make it to the final but Manucho made Africa's best XI unseating African legends like Etoo, Drogba, Yakubu and Kanu.
Manucho is the real deal. . . . . watch him take the African player of the year next season. Tongue Tongue Tongue

What economic sense was there in buying Hargo at that price given his persistent injuries and all? He is like the improved version of Global Deception Sahaonly that he is English  Grin Grin

Berba is a better choice IMO, established skills and an outstanding player. Huntelaar is getting old in Holland with no suitorseven with the dearth of top class strikers in Europe right now, instead all the teams are grooming young sharp shooters. I think he has some major flaws.

Berba is affordable, Huntelaar would cost similar because he just signed another 5 year deal.

How is Manucho proven? Cos he got some 'African XI' award? All the strikers underperformed at that tournament, Kanu was injured, and the top African striker Ade was not even in attendance. Mputu was the highest goal scorer in the CL for TP Mazembe, so he is now a sublime striker?  Grin Grin

Lets see what Manucho can achieve in Greece first. I still believe that Berba will be fergie's choice. Even CR was moody whenever he didn't score as he wanted, so no biggie  - Fergie can handle moody players.

@ tkb417,

Quinton Fortune was great while he was here. I liked his work-rate.
Eric Djemba-Djemba was a waste pipe. . . . .no technical ability, no technical nous, no visible skills.
The only good game he had was when United went to Highbury in 03/04 season and got a draw.
He overpowered Vieira in that game but everything came to nothing. . . .

@ Debosky,

Berba is a pseudo-prima donna. I don't like the way he broods on the pitch plus his lackadaisical approach.
Wazza and Tevez hustle the ball with pace and tenacity!!!!! Berbatov will be too slow to react to United's traditional counter-attacking football.
Huntelaar is proven. . . . He is by far the best out n out striker in the whole Europe.
Under normal circumstances, he should have won the European golden shoe but Eredivisie is multiplied by the 1.5 factor compared to EPL's 2!
Huntelaar cannot be more than 15 mil with Saha and O'Shea as part exchange Grin

Manucho is the top dog. . . . .You can hate all u like.
I saw few of his training sessions on MUTV and he was outjumping Neumanja Vidic everytime his aerial ability was questioned.
Fergie saw him for 15 minutes and asked CQ to pen a deal ASAP. Manucho will be a hit. . . .10 times better than Drog and 24 times better than Ade.
Premiership. . . . .BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Ruudie
before a player gets signed, all those will be sorted. the incoming player knows the quality in United and wont be pertubed to spend time on the bench.

who is above the United bench? nobody
you can name those who have spent time on the bench this season
Scholes, Hargo, Tevez(when playing 4-5-1), carrick, Anderson, Fletcher, Saha (perpetualy), Park, Nani. Even Ronaldo was on the bench against Chelsea at the bridge

If Klass comes, staying on the bench wont be out of order.

However, the pitch is not nice at all. . . . . .Playability is average and its below standard compared to the pitches here in England.
Chelsea would use this as an excuse to lump long balls to Drogba. . . .Pity----United don't have a big, strong striker upfront to aim balls at.
