I'm with elampiro on this one, getting vardy in january will be very good.
One thing i also notice about man.utd fans is dat they love to see the board purchase a player pple don't really know and turn him into a world beater, if you ask some of our comrades here to sign vardy or give wilson a chance, majority of them will go with the latter.. And you can't use that system to be up there with the best for the next 10yrs. Barca signed sanchez he din't fit in de way de team expected him to, they sold him nd purchase suarez at an even bigger price not minding if the sanchez debacle awaits him, man.u united sold di maria cause he din't fit in, nd what did they do They went to purchase a 1season eredvisie wonder in depay.. Instead of going for a top player like antoine greizman or Marco reus just lyk barca did.. Now you see the difference between the two teams??
utd didnt buy griezman...but still ended up signing martial!

its possible dat griezman would not be instant hit like martial came to be in just a small time....


I personally as u said to have 'noticed' strongly hold on to the fact that a host of ready made stars that came to utd -with high expectations from the club- end up not having a significant impact for the team....

All of you wishing on united resigning "cr7" remind me of d'banj! Because you are all on a 'loooong ting'! United NEVER does sentimental re-signings of past greats! Check our history 4 confirmation!!

Cr7 was, is and will always be the man, but his united days are OVER! Ask "jorge mendes" the super agent, his next bus stop is @ PSG! "Its all about the benjamins babies" !!!!
when it comes to that, PSG are still babies 4 our side.

they replaced R.V.P with martiaL.. Greizman can't guarentee us of being an instant hit, but its still a risk worth trying.. All the so called elite teams do it. And about the super stars issue the ones i can remember are that of veron, and maybe di maria (though ain't a flop in ma own point me view) i still don't know any super star bought by united that flopped. We don't even spend on super stars. But most of the ones we did spent for brought us glory. Cantona nd R.v.P comes to mind.

perhaps he's not happy playing for benitez....i wouldn't be happy under benitez too. he's a 3rd-tier manager with an archaic philosophy.

ancelotti's madrid can never be beaten 4-0 at the bernebau. that's just wrong......real madrid need a new manager asap. they shoulda gone for klopp!
Another explanation is old age.
The only blemish on benitez record was his time with inter milan
Ancelotti's madrid lost by four goals to At.Madrid.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by weedtaker: 4:17pm On Nov 22, 2015
madrids problem is not benitez, dia line up against barca looks like dat of fiorentino perez.

benitez never won a league title in england. he fluked a UCL title though - but that was after he gave up on chasing the league title & concentrated the club's effort in europe.

benitez is a disgrace, abeg! ronaldo still has about 3-4 years to give at top level. he's a machine. he's 30 in the real sense but his body functions like a 25 year old player. let's buy him abeg.....

I don't think you watched the match...

You may have been correct if Madrid lost by a scoreline like 4-3, or probably If Bravo was a genuine candidate for MOTM.

Aside those two saves from Bravo, the Gk was virtually on Holidays yesterday..

Real Madrid's attack wasn't better than Watford's.
real Madrid attack wasnt there cos there midfield was not existing, abi u no watch hw barca they transition?. their midfielders kept supplying there attackers while benitez kept playing Sunday league football.. defence 2 attack against an equally good in d air/tall pique and Matthieu....saw a gif on FB, at a time there wasn't any Madrid midfield player in midfield, just 4 Madrid defenders and the rest players were in or around Barca's 18yard
leave wetin u wan talk 4 dat game, in as much as credit must b given to inesta and barca for being so flawless, benitez goof big time.

Jones own tire me. He can't play 2 consecutive matches.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by raumdeuter: 4:55pm On Nov 22, 2015
I dont blame Benitez, He caved to management pressure to play an attacking lineup vs Barca and got eviscerated

A normal Benitez would play Casemiro and drop one of BBC

When he was in Liverpool, players like Alonso, Mascherano, Sissoko, Hamman Biscan and hustlas were his favourite

One can argue we played with 10 men in both games.


1996/1997 season
Date October 20th 1996
Newcastle 5 Manchester United 0


That's a well built team by SAF. Built over the years. Within 33 minutes we were 3-0 down.

This was the same solid United team that beat Ipswich town 9-0 in a league game in March 2004. United lost the first leg at Ipswich earlier in the season. Football can be crazy. City losing 1-4 is no news. Without their spendings and policies they wouldn't be any different from West Ham. Middle table team.

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 5:52pm On Nov 22, 2015
Before we forget so soon how Man City became a giant and a feared team.

The team was taken over by the rich owner in summer 2008.

2003/4 they finished 15th with 49 points.
2004/5 they finished 8th with 52 points.
2005/6 they finished 15th with 43 points
2006/7 they finished 14th with 42 points.
2007/8 they finished 9th with 55 points.
...........


After take over:
2008/2009. 10th 50 points
2009/2010. 5th 67 points
2010/2011. 3rd 71 points.
2011/2012. 1st 89 points.
2012/2013. 2nd 78 points.
2013/2014. 1st 86 points.
2014/2015. 2nd 79 points.

AdeLaNa1, is this what you call a temporal success? E don tey I know say you no know ball.

How many goals from Kane now? Maybe he's not going to be a flash in the pan. Time will tell sha
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 6:17pm On Nov 22, 2015
Man City most prominent players 2007/2008 before they were taken over.

Joe Hart , Vedran Ćorluka, Micah Richards, Richard Dunne, Michael Ball, Javier Garrido, Stephen Ireland, Gelson, Dietmar Hamann, Martin Petrov, Elano , Darius Vassell, Onuohah, Geovanni, Sun

Below are the players they brought in over a period of four seasons before the could win the league. Their trial and error paid off.

Meanwhile season after season I prayed we signed Aguero. I have been a fan of his since 2007 when shone like a million stars in the U-20 world cup.

chrisley024:
fact is that top players are egocentric; Ronaldo, Rooney, Bale, Neymar, Messi Zlatan, name them. The issue is how the manager handles it and sets up his team to bring the best out of them.
Yes. Most players are egocentric. But of all those players u mentioned, Both Messi and Neymar dint let their egos get in the way of the ultimate price. Which is winning titles every season for the team.


Someone even said he shouldn't be bought cos he can't track back. cheesy does Messi or Neymar or Suarez track back?. The problem with Madrid is they concentrate on stars not having a team. That team has no DM, someone to do the dirty job, (which team does that) and some are surprised why they concede easily.
Attackers need to track back once in a while. But majority of the time, its not their job. That's why teams ve defenders and DMs. Do u expect Ozil to be tracking back, when Coquelin is there to throw in the hard tackles?? The answer is NO!!


As for spending, Barca does it very well and can afford to use their young players with this their attack.
Yes. Barca spends. But do they do it every season like the likes of PSG and City?? No. They've already laid out the foundations with a mix of Old players and young players from their academy. All dat is left to complete the puzzle is a major signing like Neymar and Suarez. Now look at where they are!!!
