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

[Ratinho]

Nah, from a couple of guys I know down in London, i'm 95% certain that he's spoken to United once already, and wants to move to England. Was interested in Arsenal, and I suspect that may have happened had Henry left. He'll be in England next season anyway.

[Blaine]

You have to laugh (just seen Mika's post), if you didn't you'd cry.

Good luck to anyone not in the loyalty pot trying to get an away ticket this year. Saying that, not sure how long the loyalty pot will last now either. Absolute **** take.

[snipersdream]

Mail claims we'll convince Cristy to stay, sell Ruud to Real for £16m and use that cash to Buy Carrick and Kuzscak.

But then the Mail keeps Peter Hitchens fed and clothed, so who cares what those c**ts say?

Why is it much different from boycotting products sold directly by United?

[BBB]

I'd love to know just how many away tickets the one season ST holders have had.

we've applied for every game and only got Blackburn and iirc James' parents are in the loyalty pot and were chubbed for Villa.

utter shambles.

I may take them both.

[ACou2000]

Well even if its meant to be 442 its not really gonna be is it.. with the way Rooney and Ronnie wander about there'll probably be times where nobody is up top

But I'd imagine the general idea is, Rooney furthest up through the middle, Ronaldo "supporting" and drifting.. Richardson left, Fletch right.

And thats before we get to the O'Shea and Silvestre predicament further back in the team...

argh

didn't even stand up and cheer when O'shea scored, just sat there shacking my head.

[mrgrapefruits]

The charity game is just cover so they could get lippi at the negotiating table at OT without the press getting wind of whats going on. [/conspiracy theory]

[Weststandred]

Mint shirt Nick, how much did it cost? Because those shirts would be pretty hard to get hold of, im thinking.

VDS thought it was going wide and it rattled against the post. He quickly jumped on it though.

[Confused Clarity]

ahahhahaha,

I was about to reply to Mart saying "matt'll say that because the fans are idiots" refreshed first and low and behold.....

[Pickles]

Oh and might have a ticket for Chelsea away Bloke I got my ticket off tomorrow knows Wes Brown and has been promised 4. \o/

[Confused Clarity]

Bale is young enough that he could easily convert to a left midfielder.

He's a very skilled player on the ball from what i've seen of him, he's a very astute technical player for his age.

I don't think he's ever going to be a Ronaldo type, but he certainly has the ability to be a Beckham type player with his ability to deliver good quality balls. He also has a bit of pace too.

Would love United to sign him for the long term. Could develop long term into a very good full back or winger.

Neville/Brown Vidic/Brown Rio/Silvestre Henize/Evra

Ronaldo/Park Hargreves/Carrick Scholes/Fletcher Giggs/Nani

Rooney/Anderson Smitch/Rossi/Ole

</pre>

We have a B team like Chelsea now. 25 man squad.

And O'Shea can cover for everyone really.

So Richardson can go, Saha is gone, dude is injured too many times.

If we can get David Villa that would one of the best team ever.

If we needed to sell Smith to buy someone better then I wouldn't hesitate, but not otherwise, as then we would still be short of a reliable backup.
