Sad thing is tbh Id take nicky butt back. We should never have sold him in the first place. And as it stands hes better than half our midfield.

If Ronaldo goes we need 3 midfileders. Simple as that. Think we can take carrick as done. But Im not convinced there'll be two more. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Nothing at the minute suggests the Carrick deal is anywhere near done.

Seriously though, if you can get Senna you really really should - from La Liga/Champs League he is awesome - what are the rumours on his cost?

Carrick for £14million sounds a bit excessive - maybe bring in Senna/Graveson + Winger and persuade Ruud to stay, and you don't look in too bad shape.

I also think Ronaldo will probably stay, surely most ManU fans like him more now because he's so hated, and it makes you feel important again.

Hopefully we'll get to see more of Park this season as well, looked impressive last year.

Oh - and although this dosen't top the awesome "Bring Sol in at CB, and push Rio into midfield', I think I read in the paper Evra may well be your first choice LW next season.

I really hope not.

It's the only reason Fergie doesn't have the resources he would have had under the PLC or with a sensible takeover. Not saying for a minute I'd completely expect Fergie to spend a bumper transfer kitty that wisely.

Just never gets going for me. Click the play button and it says 'media opening' for a few minutes, then says 'ready' upon which i press play again and it does the same thing. irritating. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

What version of Windows media player are you using? As it needs to confirm the licsense with the PC you're using. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

WMP 10. It's weird, I got one of the highlights clips working randomly, but now they don't work either, and the live feed has never shown any sign of working. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Check within media player within the options - security if "run script commands and rich media streams when player is in a web page" is ticked.. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

the option says "do not run script commands and rich media streams when player is in a web page" and it's unticked at the moment.

By the way, a footnote to the Rooney/Scholes bans:

Ade Akinbiyi was sent off at the weekend playing for Sheffield United away at Sparta Rotterdam. The incident was included in the match report by the referee, but then not sent on to the FA by the Dutch FA. Is it any wonder we feel a bit hard done by and that there's one rule for us and one for the rest? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Even with your new contact at the FA too.

Not utterly useless. But then it was near impossible to be utterly useless in defence against a team not attacking?

He managed to look shaky on the few occasions play came near him. Like somebody said a couple of nervy/poor headers.. with VdS clearly being much less sure of Silvestre in front of him than Rio or Brown.

He's just not good enough for CB.. and Evra looks like he could well move ahead permanently for LB.

Anyway all my mates are busy or away today and my sky has been cancelled :\

Do i go to a pub on my own? never done this before and my local is closed for refurb so i can't even go somewhere that im known icon_frown.gif </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I watch most of the games that way. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>On your own?

Don't you feel overly conscious of your self? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Not at all. Most people are there to watch the footie, you're just doing the same. And since i've been going regularly, i've got to chatting to a few other reds in there as well. But i have no problem going to a pub i've never been to before and watching it.

I've even done it in in Sheffield pubs near Bramhall lane while we were actually playing them, while i was at Uni there. At least for the times i couldn't get tickets in the away end, as the one thing where i would draw the line i think is being an away fan in the home section.

Actually, just thinking about Europe, there’s only really one tie – Real Madrid/Bayern Munich – where I’m not 80% convinced of who’ll get through. On current form I’m edging towards Real for that one & looking at who I think will get through, over two legs its going to be tough to make the semi-finals. Obviously I’m getting ahead of myself a bit but it’s in my head so I may as well post it.

Obviously just a guess but likely quarterfinal qualifiers IMO:

Us + Barca, Milan, Chelsea, Inter, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Lyon.

Milan and Real are probably the “easiest†potential ties for me, but Milan’s experience and Madrid’s recent doggedness could be issues if we drew them. Chelsea and Arsenal over two legs would be a real pain & I doubt it’d go our way so really wouldn’t want either of them. I don’t think we’re there as far as beating Barca goes. Inter started this campaign in Europe terribly but then they stepped up massively & having a big lead at the top of Serie A means that they can focus a bit more on the CL with their huge squad if they want. But then the fact that its Inter means anything could happen. That leaves Lyon, who I think, purely on the strength of their European performances which have looked really focussed, might just be favourites over two legs with us.

Obviously this is pure conjecture, and arguably anyone can beat anyone at this stage in the competition, but there are too many teams we could draw after/if we beat Lille who are going to be very problematic or have a slight edge over us to think that we’ll get past the last eight.

Much rather get the Prem back anyway this year.

I was going to say that it doesn't matter as he'd play a second team anyway, but on reflection we have so many injuries that we would probably have to put a decentish team out in the replay. It's a tough one.

And to chime in on the Rossi Tevez thing. Leave the poor kid alone, what he quite clearly meant to say was:

"Tevez is great and has been doing his stuff at the top for a good few years now but after watching Rossi play, especially his stint in Italy, i believe he has the potential to reach the level Tevez is at right now."

And i agree 100%. Well said nathan.
