The Manchester United thread 2006/2007 - featuring BBB leaving early

[pjburrage]

So now that Torres has finished his little outing in the Fatherland how soon before he at OT?

[JulesMUFC]

Its so not happening, even Fergie cant be stupid enough to pay that sort of money for that midget.

Reds reject Ruud bid

United have rejected a bid from Real Madrid for Dutch striker Ruud van Nistelrooy.

The 29-year-old forward has been strongly linked with the La Liga giants since admitting that he wants to leave Old Trafford after five years in England.

Speaking after United's pre-season win over Kaizer Chiefs, Sir Alex Ferguson revealed: "We have received a bid for Ruud van Nistelrooy from Real Madrid, which we have refused.

"As it stands, Ruud van Nistelrooy remains a Manchester United player."

They managed 3rd with Morientes last season to be fair, Bellamy will score more than he did.

[Coldberg]

Kleberson couldn't adapt because when he wasn't injured he never played him in his proper position

Carrick gonna play at the Amsterdam tournament \o/

WC players won't be travelling

Ok I feel like a futile night discussion.

If we had to sell 5 first team squad members, who would they be and why? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

1. VDS - Great keeper and all that but plenty of back up now

2. Silvestre - Any reason needed apart from 1 million left backs in the squad and he's pap

3. O'Shea - As has been mentioned, not Man Utd class

4. Miller - Does he count as First team squad member?

5. Smith - Getting hard to sell players now and personally think that a better striker would be a better option than him

[gonch19]

trezeguet a player ive always thought is MASSIVELY OVERRATED. just typical we make him our no.1 target to replace ruud.

[Taz & The Devil]

Just been on a few Newcastle forums and they arent happy. None of them have seen Rossi so dont rate him and dont like the fact that if he does well for them it only helps us in the long run.

Are Newcastle some major rival of ours that i just didnt know about?

[Taz & The Devil]

We were great again yesterday. So nice to see us playing the Manchester United way again of going out to score goals rather than going out to keep a clean sheet without the personel to do it.

MoM: Gary Neville, thought he was great and the bugger should have scored.

2nd: Scholes. The lad makes us tick.

Mentions to the rest of the starting XI.

Blatantly Keith.

haw Jonny, meet us at the big timetable thing.

Oh and Keith requires at least some of that £30 from Liverpool as the daft twat has brought the wrong credit card, silly bollox!

[ACou2000]

let's not get carried away.

they are forging a great partnership and will hopefully continue to do so for a long time

but as it stands Vidic has only been in the side and playing well for what, maybe, 25 games?

Rio has been strong, consistent and on many occasions a match-winner for us over years now.

[Mika]

And the last time that we drew Villa in the 3rd round, we won it

[Coldberg]

Can we all just take heart in the fact that Martin has looooooooong journey home.

Serves him right for basically going around saying 'Hi I am Martin & i'm going to West Ham' for the last 2 weeks.

[James07?]

2nd January for the new series of MH

[Taz & The Devil]

I've been watching a very stop start stream at best but from what i saw it seems its another game where our only threat is Ronaldo.

I dont know why but whats happened to the starts where we went all out at 100mph for the first 20 mins and blew teams away? Now we just stroll about, do **** all and get **** all for it.

[BBB]

Yup, he thinks he's the best player of the season so far

[Scatter]

we'll beat the mourners and the geordies.

If he was in better form, there might have been more of a chance of seeing Heinze at CB. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

assuming Agbonlahor plays, i think i'd take Mickey over even an on-form Gaby purely because of his pace.

although saying that, either Agbonlahor is a bit knackered or his pace has been hyped to high heaven because not only did Paddy outpace him a couple of times last week, he was also matched for pace by that reknowned speedster Darren Fletcher :/

The thing is, no disrespect to Portsmouth but the biggest fear I have in these sorts of games is what Fergie will do with the team. He's generally been better recently but there's always the chance that he'll shuffle the team about and play the likes of Richardson and O'Shea. We'll see I guess.

[AndyPolack]

"Its on."

[Nick OGS20]

it was from that game, yeah. 92-93, when norwich were at our heels in the title race. might dig that season dvd out, there's nowt on the telly until MOTD

anyone know if tonight's game is being shown on a dodgy chinese channel?

*i live in china and have legal access to the chinese tv channels showing EPL games, but i don't know if they show european games and i don't have a tv guide*

only if we didn't have a goalkeeper at all... one save was a beauty, one was straight at him. he couldn't not save it.

For all gartside's talk of Anelka "going nowhere", rumour is they're looking at getting Cisse in as a replacement, possibly on loan, in case he buggers off to a CL team. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

They're trying to get Cisse on the cheap though, which I can't really see the scousers going for given their stated stance towards Marseilles. I'm pretty sure he'll stay there tbh.

</div></BLOCKQUOTE>

They want him on loan, and he wants to leave France either for Spain or to come back to England, according to rumours. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

iirc Liverpool have basically said to Marseilles (who also want him on loan) that they need to pay up for him, and that he's not going to be 'lent' for another year. So I can't see why they'd accept a loan offer from Bolton but not from Marseilles, especially because Bolton could theoretically be seen as a rival to the scouse.
