A key factor to passing is stamina. . . whilst Carrick is a good passer, he does not get himself in positions to receive the ball often enough, therefore he will never impact on the passing charts.
I disagree.
Nobody does it better than Carrick when it comes to passing the ball and making himself available to receive the ball.
Carrick's only flaw is his gentleman nature. He does not tackle enough as he relies more on interceptions than actually tackling the player with the ball.

HELL will freeze before Carrick will cop a red card.

Denilson on the other hand is always running, looking to receive the ball and pass it on, thats why he is always near the top of the passing stats.
Denilson is near the top of passing stats because of the way Arsenal play.
Arsenal fanny around with the ball quite a lot more than any other team in the EPL.
United can get the ball to the opponents' box within seconds cos they are direct.  Arsenal will pass n pass n pass n pass before they pose threats.

Lampard hits more KEY passes than Cesc.
I cannot count the number of times Drogba/Anelka have benefited from Lampard's slide-rule passes.
He is direct. He doesn't make 30 triangular passes to set up a goal assist like Cesc.

Go and check past seasons and stop using half of a season to judge how good a player is, Cleverley arrived earlier and scored on his first 2 games for Watford after he arrived and has stayed as their first choice attacking MF since with Lansbury playing wide most of the time.
Go to Watford forums and see what they say about Cleverley.
I won't waste ma time here arguing with you.

Lansbury scored more and assisted more when they played similar positions in different teams last season. Besides in central MF for us Lansbury is behind Ramsey, Merida, Wilshere and Coquelin as he played wide during the FA youth cup run.
Now is the time you can really assess both players.
They are in the same club on loan. . . . .Playing under the same manager under the same condition.
How can Lansbury score 2 with Cleverley hitting 8 goals in the same team?

Suara, did yu miss yur last appointment with your shrink? yu seriously can't be saying this, when exactly did Cleverley start outperforming Fletcher?
Cleverley shytes on Ramsey.
Ramsey is another product of the whole Arsenal hype.
This is from another astute observer(Watford fan). . . .

A United gem unearthed and a real superstar in the making

Football FanCast guest columnist Bill Penrice feels that United have a potential superstar in the making with Tom Cleverley.

While Arsenal are always the team that are heralded for their bringing through of youth, or the nurturing of young players, it is United set-up for me that produces top quality year after year, and where the young gunners tend to move to oblivion when they leave the Emirates, the United kids tend to still carve a living at the top levels of the game.

As an outsider looking in I have always felt that a big reason for United's success over the years has been that the core of the team has always been made up of homegrown players. Scholes, Giggs, Neville, move on to the next era to O'Shea, Fletcher, Gibson and in the next coming you have the likes of the Da Silva twins, Welbeck and Tom Cleverley; the latter in particular is a potential superstar in the making and a player whose versatility will give Ferguson an embarrassment of riches.

I'm a Watford fan and we have benefited a lot from United over the years and Cleverley has arguably been the pick of the bunch.
Once again today at the Riverside he struck the winner, his 5th goal of the season already, but his all round game was absolutely immense once again. They say there is a huge gap in class between the Premier League and the Championship, and whilst this is true, the difference between the players is just as vast and there has not been one team that has been able to handle the kid this season and he is absolutely a class apart.

There is no question that Cleverley is going right to the top and Ferguson has a real talent at his disposal that will help United maintain their dynasty in English football. There isn't a chance that Sir Alex will let him fall by the waste side, as not only does his versatility give United a variety of options, but for me he seems like one of the finest young talents to come out of United in years and there is no level to what he can achieve in the game. This isn't an overreaction to a few games in the Championship, hey he proved it for England U21s in the past week and United fans should be getting extremely excited about him, because as I said at the start of the piece that they have potential superstar on their hands here.
Nuff said. grin

P.S. You need to brush up your knowledge about the prodigious talents in this country.
I know em like the back of me hands.

Lansbury has never in his life played as a striker, he can however play all MF positions and has even played RB at Watford this season, Cleverley has always  played directly behind the striker and that wld explain why he's gotten more goals and assists than Lansbury (Lansbury had more goals and assists when they were both in League 1 last year).

Ramsey has joined the usual hype that accompanies every young player in Arsenal.
Due to the disgusting strength in depth in Arsenal, young players are thrown into the lime-light more often than their peers elsewhere.

lampard had 80% pass completion while cesc had 78%. It tells us as much as a fat pig's fart. Like nateevs illustrated with mikel and lampard, pass completion is useless if the passes are sideways & backwards. The number of killer balls cesc produces in one season is more than the amount lampard will manage in his entire career cheesy
Lampard makes more forward passes than Cesc Fabregas. I know that much.
This is why he leads in the KEY passes statistic. Passing sideways and backwards cannot constitute a KEY pass.
Get some perspective.

how many players ranked higher than denilson last season? Did u forget to check? cheesy
Paul Scholes and Mikel Obi on the top of ma head recorded a better pass completion than Denilson.

If carrick is a better passer than lampard yet lampard continually murders him in just about every passing statistic, what does it tell us about actim, castrol etc?
Lampard does not murder Carrick in every passing statistic.
Apart from Scholes, no English midfielder comes near CARRICK in passing the ball.

go and look up the actim index for last season and tell me how many midfielders ranked higher than denilson.
Actim Index is deceptive because it lays too much emphasis on the number of minutes played.
Denilson played more games than his peers last season thus his ascendancy in the Actim Index.
The ONLY way to know a better pass is the pass completion percentage.

Let me ask u, who is a better passer of the ball, lampard or carrick?
statistically, who passed the ball better last season, lampard or carrick?
Statistics are useless in football!
Carrick SHYTES on any English midfielder bar SCHOLES as far as passing the ball is concerned but then you need more than passing the ball to be a complete midfielder. Gerrard and Lampard earn their money because apart from being a decent passer of the ball, they can shoot from any range, hit free-kicks, deliver decent crosses and other indices.

Carrick still needs to hone his skills in the other aspects. His passing of the ball is WORLD CLASS - I know that much.

Why exactly did Denilson qualify as a special talent and Ljajic does not?
Try and grasp the basics before jumping into an argument.
Denilson is a Brazilian with possibly a Portugese passport.
When we signed Da Silva twins, their Portugese passport made it easier for them to jump the Home Office hoops.

The rules changed recently. . . .I dunno what the exact criteria were in 2006 when Arsenal signed Denilson.
All i know is to cop a UK work permit. . . .A player musta played at least 75% of his country's Grade A games or qualify as a special talent.
Llajic fell short of that and United did not pursue him again.

besides why didn't Manure at least make an appeal? did they even make an application or only made enquiries? why the initial excuse of having better youth in house? it is your turn to read between the lines after taking off those red tinted specs yu've got on.
United decided not to pursue his application because
(1) United have emerging talents like Gibson, Cleverley and Pogba. . .
(2) There's no point pursuing a player who hasn't shown any significant development in the past 12 months.

If that doesn't look like excuses to you, I wonder what will.
If it stings you too bad, tell Wenger to sign him.
United paid £5 million of Llajic's transfer fees when Tosic joined. Had he copped a work permit, he woulda joined Man Utd.
That is the gospel TRUTH.

Lampard in a flat 4-4-2 is 10 times worse than Gerrard. Lampard needs AT LEAST two other CM's by his side to mask his inadequacies.
Stop watching your football on a Black/White TV.

Gerrard is a far better passer of the ball than Lampard. He attempts more killer balls than Lampard, who only picks out passes Stevie Wonder could make, which is why Lampard has better passing stats.
The object is to keep it simple.
Gerrard attempts 50 hollywood passes with only 2 or 3 going to the intended player. . . . . .That is not good enough.
Lampard keeps it simple. He spots Drogba and he makes the eye of the needle pass with the required weight and it's BINGO.

As a matter of fact, the only thing Lampard has on his side is stats, which are EXTREMELY DECEPTIVE!
The same kind of stats that rank Denilson among the 5 best players in the EPL. . . The same kind of stats that rank Henry the best player in the world. This isnt basketball, in soccer, stats go out the window.
I have seen Lampard co-ordinate Chelsea's midfield when it seemed there was no real leader in the TEAM.
I remember Barca 2-2 Chelsea at Nou Camp. Lampard stood tall amongst the best midfield players in Europe.
Gerrard is just a small fish in a tiny pond and i am 100% sure he is not in Lampard's category.

Who said Denilson is amongst the 5 best players in the EPL?
Denilson is not in the top 15 midfielders in the EPL.
I challenge any NL analyst to prove to me Denilson has a better stat than the usual suspects.

P.S. i have watched Lampard play 499 games and he's FAILED to dictate play in 500 of them.

2007–2008 Serbia U17 9 (1)
2008–2009 Serbia U19 10 (4)
2008– present Serbia U21 10 (1)
So you don't understand playing for the NATIONAL TEAM? Who reckons with U17, U19 and blah blah blah.
The only reason that can be waived by the Home Office is if Llajic qualifies as a "special talent" and he does not.

Biram Diouf has only 1 cap for Senegal and I'm not even sure that didnt come after he signed for Manure.
1 cap for the NATIONAL TEAM. The Teranga Lions not the age grade teams.
Grab a book instead of branding someone a liar with your blurry and shaded perspective.

This can be easily explained - it depends. If the player acquisition was done in June 2008, it would already be reflected in the 2008 accounts, but if after that date it would show up in the 2009 accounts.
We bought Berba in September 2008 for £30 million.

Secondly, payments can only be put on the accounts as they are received. If Utd for example decided to pay for Berba in three installments over three years, only a third of the figure will be seen in each financial year. For example, Portsmouth defaulted in it's installment payments to other clubs and is being docked for those.
Daniel Levy took all the £30.75 milla from United with Citeh breathing down our necks ready to pounce.
Nobody takes instalments from United. U will see a massive difference in the accounts in few months' time.

Reports indicate Utd received cash upfront for the Ronaldo deal.
Which reports?
Ronaldo's deal was done before 30th June 2009.

The accounts are as we see them now, all that will be gained later on is more granularity but the headline figures remain accurate.
It's a bit hazy.
Besides, this is the GROUP statement of account.
Last April, the club printed the 3 individual accounts.
MUFC, RFL and RFJV.
