he could turn out to be if he doesn't develop his game.he is a great poacher but a mediocre footballer

no steel in midfield(playing 2 attack minded players in central midfield),4 central defenders already injured,over elaboration in play,playing far far too narrow.
the positives were kagawa and de gea.also offensively valencia is zero as a fullback.

i know,just banter.
if evans is fit i would play carrick,anderson and cleverly in midfield.allow kagawa to sit on d bench and watch d madness of EPL closely before throwing him into d deep end.

he gets more exposed in a 2 man midfield these days cos 1)he never was a good tackler 2)he is an old old man in footballing terms.roy keane covered for him in terms of his defensive deficiencies,one has to remember he started as a striker

lol.maybe kagawa? but actually scholes in a 3 man midfield gives us all d merits of scholes without his demerits.imagine clev nd ando doing all d donkey work while scoles as a luxury just comes short and starts pinging d ball 60 yards to nani and rvp.
his preseason dispay against barca was a clinic of spiritual long range passing

hmmm montelik,i wont want to start 4-4-2 against everton especially in their own stadium and with carrick in central defence and with 2 forward runners(cleverly n ando) in central midfield.i tink its better we start a 3 man midfield or a 4-2-3-1 and switch things if necessary in d 2nd half

no evidence or rumor that rafael is burnt out.if sandro of spurs(and d same brasil) could start and is not burnt out then i don't see why rafael should be burnt out.
having said that fergie has played valencia at right back during pre-season quite a number of times so its obvious he sees valencia as an option at right back.
pls lets try to keep things civil

DDG
rafael evans vidic evra

carrick anderson

valencia cleverly nani

rooney

the guy seems to be technically sound and good going forward cos it seems he plays both leftback and left midfield.however all the videos i have seen show him in the attacking half of the field,no evidence of his defending ability yet

wingback from vitesse apparently.i tink he is a left wingback.au revoir to baines maybe?

alexander buttner to United?

Song signs for Barca

please get him out of ur mind o!

chamotex: Seems like niggaz are on their periods - e never reach fight na

We will get 'our' trophy back = basically as the defending champion losing the title to Citeh, we want the trophy which is now in their hands sort of.
We were the last winners before Citeh won it, so we want t back!

thanks for d explanation bros.i tire for guys o,taking nitpicking to olympic levels

much ado abt nothing. we will get our trophy back,we will get your trophy back,we will get a trophy back or we will get an trophy back! how does it affect you chelsea or arsenal fans? if you don't like it then don't click on d thread and keep walking.abi?

chicharito needs to step up his game cos fergie will be less patient with him than he has bin wit welbeck.one reason is cos welbeck is a lil younger and 2nd reason is cos welbeck is united bred n english.hernandez is probably 4th choice striker now IMO

also arsenal don't have alex ferguson,lol

chelseabmw: Hope you are not among last season's trophy less manutd team......... Drogba is a legend,a demi god at chelsea
He has won 11 trophies.Do you want me to name them for you?

hahahahahaha...You talking about preseason...hmmmmm....if you want to judge with preseason it means that Arsenal and spurs are suppose to be winners of the league every season.... preseason matches are to gain fitness not a do or die affair... before i forget manutd united lost to a team enyimba of nigeria will be both home and away anytime any day(Ajax cape town) and i believe they drew with the other team or so

weather we change coach or not, for now i am a proud chelsea fan.....Home of Fa cup and euporean cup champions

United lost to Ajax Cape Town? i guess you watched the match while carrying your TV on ur head its either that or you were peeping through a wall crack to watch it at a viewing centre

If u hv bin following this thread u would hv realised dt most united fans were not enamoured wit d idea of moura from d onset.most of us would prefer a central midfielder e.g a modric or moutinho or sahin or martinez

i am actually happy dt PSG got lucas moura.we didn't need to spend all that money for an unproven winger out of brazil,especially since we have 3 decent to good wide men and even more especially since our limited funds should be spent on bolstering our weakpoints(central midfield and left back).

Ravel Morrison sent on loan to Birmingham City after failing to make West Ham's squad for the season
it would be very sad if this troubled boy pisses away his talent.

i can't disagree with DK on this one.only a modification,robben is way way better than ashley young

montelik: Ashley Young really needs to learn some new tricks. lol

you can't teach an old dog new tricks

if d moura signing does take place,one should just hope he turns out to be a kaka rather than a robinho or pato or diego.a lot of d expensive signings from brazil have not exactly set d world on fire

several sources are saying the same thing.30million pounds for yet another winger,especially one thats unproven in europe is a bit too much.

according to manutd.com irwin is a united legend and according to fcbarcelona.com txiki is a legend! those are d official mouthpieces of the clubs so i think that settles it.and how can u say butragueno isn't a madrid legend? ur standards are too high and seem to be incongruous with the feelings of the fans of d clubs in question.
of course achievement is very high on the list but u hav to consider ability,character,personality,loyalty,connection wit d fans.not saying d player has to hav all of those but sum total should be somtin dt d club nd d fans connect with(cos at d end its d club n fans dat decide who is a legend and who is not)

and ur comparisons are unfair cos legends are legends in their own right,its nt d ballon d'or.
txiki beguiristain being a legend doesnt stop iniesta or xavi from being legends,dts nt how it works.some good players dont even become legends while some average players become legends.its not just about skill or on d field ability,but longevity,team success,rapport with the fans.these r d factors

thats not the issue,nobody is comparing eras here.the issue is he is a UNITED LEGEND.nobody is calling him the best in europe,but in d history of united he is a legend.Dixie Dean,'Chopper' Harris,Lofthouse r legends in their clubs for different reasons.d era in which they played is never rily d issue,wts important is dt when they were there they contributed significantly to that club.

thank God u mention PEAKING.Irwin joined d club half a dozen years before the guys u mentioned and peaked long before them.when irwin was winding down his career keano n neville were at their peak.
irwin's mates are those guys i mentioned cos they are abt d same age AND they came at about d same time when fergie was clearing d club of d "old guard" dt he met at d club e.g paul mcgrath,norman whiteside e.t.c
anyway the argument is irwin is in d top 10 in terms of games played for united ever,at a time when United were dominant in England and he won lots of trophies so in my book he is a definite legend.i am sure all true United fans will agree,at least the club's official website agrees with me

ferguson not travelling to Norway with the squad,said to be away on other club business.i pray it means a signing is imminent

irwin,paul ince,,brian mcclair,pallister,kanchelskis(to a lesser extent) can be said to be the same set not stam who joined d club abt 10yrs after them or neville who was still in d youth/reserve team 4-5 years after they joined
