Cambiasso? Remember the time when Veron played for us? I maintain that only tough tackling Argentines i.e. Heinze can make it in the EPL. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Hargreaves is vastly underrated player simply because hes not seen day in day out. Much prefer to see him in centre midfield than giggs and fletcher

as for your comment about Cambiasso icon_rolleyes.gif uhm try opening your eyes son, when watching a game of football ffs, Cambiasso is a tough tackling Argentine icon_mad.gif

Smith, Scholes and OGS count as three of those 4. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I doubt Scholes will return to his best.

Alan Smith is not good enough to be a key player for Man Utd

OGS will never be a Man Utd class player again. He's been injured for too long.

The first team is looking very good but the lack of depth is a cause for concern. Only two signings, one which cost A LOT more than it should have. Maybe if we bought Hargreaves and Senna instead of Carrick, but then again Carrick looks impressive and seems to suit the way we play.

I would have preferred another midfielder, since I don't believe O'Shea and Fletcher have progressed at all. I feel sorry for O'Shea though, he would have been better off leaving and getting a regular place in a team rather than being used sparingly as a utility player to fill injuries/bans. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Only Rio Ferdinand played more games for United last season than O'Shea. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

really? icon_biggrin.gif iirc no Arsenal player played more games that Flamini last season. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Indeed, it is true icon_biggrin.gif, the exact number is in membership book which I can't be bothered to get though, was about 46 IIRC. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Flamini played 49 times.

We played well against them last season, they also did well during the match.

However, that was last season. Both sides have changed since then and so trying to apply what happened last year to what will happen this year seems pointless to me.

I think that Chelsea have a good side that will cause us more problems than most teams. However, i do feel that we can be strong enough to cope with what they throw at us.

I also feel that we have a strong enough attack to cause problems for Chelsea, enough that i believe we can get a good result from the game. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Title race ended now, Liverpool will win everything possible, a raft of injuries will leave us only able to field Richardson and O'Shea, who will also sign new 5 year contracts. A failed summer transfer window will see us bring in only Emile Heskey for £25m, revealling the Glazers true crippling debt - which will in turn cause us to sell the ground rights to the scouse oil consortium, who decide to rename the ground to "Anfield YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE Stadium". Man City will climb above us in the Euro rankings after relegating us from the Premiership in extra time, with a blatantly offside goal. MoTD will review the game with Alan Hansen saying "ABSOLUTELY DIABOCHLICAL" 3 million times before reassuring the viewers he was referring to Man United in general and not the offside decision, to which he gave "the benefit of the doubt" to who ever United were playing, the ****ing c**t.

*sigh* just doesn't quite cover it

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> Kieran Richardson has vowed to fight for his future at Manchester United after revealing he has the backing manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

The versatile midfielder has made just five starts this term, which can be attributed to the form of the evergreen Ryan Giggs, the resurgence of Paul Scholes and star quality of Cristiano Ronaldo.

England international Richardson admits he has found it tough watching on from the sidelines this term, but is determined to forge a successful career at Old Trafford.

“I will be staying at Manchester United and fighting for my position,†he exclusively told skysports.com from a photoshoot for Adidas' F50+ clothing and footwear range.

“The gaffer does not want me to go and if the gaffer does not want me to go then I want to stay.

“The gaffer always tells those who are not playing that it is hard because the team is playing so well and it is hard to bring you in.

“We have a 23-man squad and we are all internationals so you are going to get people who are not playing and at the moment I am one of those people.

“But hopefully I can get through it and earn my place.

“You sometimes ask the gaffer ‘why am I not playing?’ But he tells you he wants to keep you involved and to keep going.

“And that is what you do, you need a good 23-man squad to win the Premiership and hopefully we have got that and hopefully we can win it.â€

Richardson burst onto the international scene in 2005, but he is aware that he needs to be playing regularly in order to catch the eye of England manager Steve McClaren.

“Always playing for your country is a main aim," he added. "But obviously you want to get your club sorted out first.

â€If you get your club sorted, playing for Manchester United, then the international thing will take care of itself.

“There is no better honour than playing for your country.â€

Reyes was **** here and didn't settle </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

My point is Reyes signed a 5 yr contract, claimed he was happy and settled in England, and only 8 or 9 months later he was practically mailing himself to Madrid, so I wouldnt look too much into those Ronaldo quotes.

Though this is probably just wishful thinking from me.

Gonch just spot on about EVERYTHING at the moment icon_cool.gif

rgifb. The sheer number of highs he's given us over such a long period of time is just unbelievable. And it's a testament to his ability that as he lost the raw pace that so charecterised him, he's adapted his game and still remained a potent attacking threat for us. Yes, we all know he can and has gone off the boil quite spectacularly, but there's very few United players, or players in the world, that I'd rather watch in full flight.

There's an amazing 10 minute compilation of him on youtube somewhere which I'll dig out when I get home.

Are there really Man Utd fans posting in this thread saying that they wouldn't mind seeing Ronaldo leave if it was for big money icon_confused.gif?

I don't like Ronaldo from what I have seen. I think he is a selfish, petulant, immature, diving on the floor, foreigner.

Having said that, I also think that he is also one of the best footballers on the planet. His ability on the ball is simply fantastic and his end product has improved beyond belief. To add to that, HE IS A WINNER.

I'm a Spurs fan and think that Lennon is great now and is only going to get better. But he is nowhere near Ronaldo at the moment. Any of youn who would be happy to see Ronaldo go for huge money and then shell half of it out for Lennon must be off your rocker.

Forget about the hype and the diving and the winking and everything else. Ronaldo is a simply gifted footballer and you would be mad to let him leave, whatever the price. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

He just struggled yersterday on a difficult surface that didn't suit him.

I'm a little surprised he started at all.

Dont understand why you guys are now attacking half of your players.

Now, I am not a ManU fan (infact I am AC Milan fan) but these kind of games come atleast once a year (for any club)where you are totally outplayed and your players look like a bunch of cr@p......but than next couple of games everything comes in order and you will see that they will all preform great.....including VDS and Giggs and everyone you just attacked </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Thing is, those games all seem to congregate when we play a decent side away from home in Europe. There's something more deeper lying than us simply having a poor game tonight.

Who do you think you are? Juni? icon_biggrin.gif

Personally I'd go for Barnetta of Leverkusen, impressed me last year in the World Cup, and has done well when I've seen him playing for Leverkusen this year. Two footed, quick, and young. More of an out and out winger than I think Nani is.
