He's going to be devastated when he completes his masterpiece (he's not working ffs, we all know he's taken the day off to lovingly prepare it), presses submit and it gets immediately locked

so you are looking for a young viera sort of player. ivory coast had a leggy centre mid didnt they?

but then any players who did even half decent at teh WC will have had their values doubled.

maybe an african nation that didnt get to the finals? nigeria, cameroon? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

yeah you get my jist. doesnt have to be african tbh. but just not someone expected or that has been good (not amazing) at the WC so they wont cost loads and loads and could turn out as a gem. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

im still puzzled as to why we arent offering the 8m that it would take to get hargreaves to come. especially seeing as he is english, nutty, box to box, hard working, persistant, always giving everything, fast etc etc

on a brighter note:

Gennaro Gattuso's agent admits his charge is yet to make a decision on his future.

The Milan midfield general has always maintained his loyalty to The Rossoneri cause, but a number of sides are still gearing up to test the resolve of the Serie A giant.

Manchester United are thought to head the queue for the former Rangers ace, who must decide whether to stick with Milan - who avoided demotion to Serie B, but were deducted points meaning they will not be in Europe next term.

"I am going to sit down with Gennaro now in order to discuss the implications of all of this," his agent Andrea D'Amico told The Mail on Sunday.

"Only after this in-depth chat can we decide what will be best for his future."

Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed he is keeping an eye on the situation Italy after Juventus, Lazio and Fiorentina were relegated - and all three along with Milan were ruled out of European competition.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> John O'Shea has rubbished reports of unrest at Old Trafford following the World Cup histrionics involving Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney.

Much has been made of the spat between the pair following Ronaldo's involvement in the red card Rooney received for England against Portugal in the World Cup quarter final.

At one stage in a summer of unrest it looked as though Ronaldo may have played his last game for United as Real Madrid hovered but it has now been confirmed that the precocious wide man will remain in England.

With the opening Premiership games less than a week away, O'Shea has laughed off reports of a dispute in the camp and, on the contrary, has spoken of a united front.

"There have been no problems between Wayne and Ronaldo," O'Shea told Sky Sports News.

"It's actually been quite funny at times the circus that has gone on.

"Obviously, they weren't team-mates at the time, they were trying to do their best for their countries.

"But they're back now, they're team-mates again and they are looking forward to the season starting.

"Look at the way he (Ronaldo) has come back into training, and with some of the goals he has scored already in pre-season.

"It's just been fantastic to see him back in action and I feel he is going to be a big player for us this season, a major threat.

"I know he has been vilified, but so have other players over the years. The club are used to dealing with it.

"He has had so much pressure on him anyway since he came to the club because of the price the club paid for him.

"But he showed at the World Cup what a talent he is, and he should have won the Young Player award."

O'Shea is currently with the Republic of Ireland squad as they prepare for a midweek friendly against Holland who, to the midfielder's surprise, have omitted his former United team-mate Ruud van Nistelrooy.

The prolific Dutchman has endured a miserable last few months as he was first shown the exit door at Old Trafford, and then dropped by Holland, but while O'Shea is quick to praise the striker, he insists a replacement can be found.

''I had been hoping to meet up with Ruud again. I was sad to see him go, not just because of his talent and the goals he scored, but as a friend too,'' he concluded.

"As the manager [sir Alex Ferguson] always says, though, the club move on, and we've brought in Michael Carrick who is going to be a great addition to our squad.

"Look at other players who have left the club, like [Eric] Cantona and [Roy] Keane.

"People said they were irreplaceable, but different players come in and add their qualities to the team.

"You have to move forward because if you keep looking back then you would be into the season and you could lose a few points." </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

None of my siblings were United fans. I just used their names to get an extra membership, and therefore an extra application (you can still only apply for one ticket per membership I assume?). If your United mates sign up and get allocated a ticket, surely they'll want it themselves.

Ryno · December 2, 2006

Don't know what is was today, but I was very disappointed with our performance despite the win. After such a good start this season where we don't sit on the scorelines, we have started to go back to doing so. First against Chelsea last week and now again against Boro.

The ref was awful imo, booking too many of our players and letting the Boro players get away with fouling all the time. Downing should have been booked for the foul on Ronny and Schwarzer for the pen foul.

Scholes was just immense today and you can so easily see the difference in how we play when he is on the pitch.

MOTM: Scholes

Runner Up: Giggs

Saha · December 6, 2006

well a 4-4-2 hasn't resulted in us being 0-2 inside fifteen minutes for at least a few weeks so i can understand acou's complaints?

who's to say 0-1-4-2-3-1 wouldn't result in us being 87-1 at halftime?

From an outside perspective I'd say you could get at least 10 wins, I guess points are always dropped unexpectedly and things happen that you don't expect, but I don't think it's ridiculous to suggest that you could go on a run.

Seriously speaking we really 11pts should be too much to gain, but you never know, beat us at Anfield and it's down to 8, and 8 last season was enough to get the BBB's of this thread thinking there was a title race on. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Well you have to factor in the relegation battle, and that its never easy playing these sides at the end of the season. Example would be last day of the season v Charlton at Anfield. If they need something to stay up they will fight like dogs, and if we aren't at 100% then we may drop some points.

So many twists and turns yet to come - its football ffs

I live 2 miles from Adams Park, so went to watch Wycombe. My dad got me season tickets from age 7 to about 16, then i got my own for two years before I went to Uni. But that's cos they're my hometown club and I support them

My dad is only United, but goes to watch Wycombe cos he likes football. So when I came along he got me into United too - whenever he went to OT he took me and hence I supported United.

Would it be a problem if Wycombe were back in the Ryman League and hadn't got to a Cup semi final twice in the past 6 years? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Not wanting to drag up an old debate, but I am honestly curious, because like others I can't wrap my head round the concept of supporting two teams. For example, I was born in Davyhulme; my mam was Salford born and bred and a United fan her whole life, but I've always lived in Derby. I have a certain fondness for Derby, but it's always United and only United for me. My question is that you say you wouldn't expect it to be such a big debating point if they were a non-league side; well what if they got into the Premiership? Or if one of their great cup runs saw them drawn against United? Where would your loyalties lie?

rading a piece on Soccernet, the bloke at the game last night was labelling the 4-2-3-1 as our 'most potent formation' on recent showings

Are we to hail its return in the hope of 2002-2003 run in style football with Smith-Ronaldo, Giggs & Rooney in place of a striker-Ole, Scholes& Giggs from 4 years ago as a Carlos Q tactical masterstroke?

Gill: Spending may now stop

Manchester United chief executive David Gill has confirmed the club have done the majority of their summer spending in the past 24 hours.

The Premiership champions announced deals to sign youngsters Anderson and Nani on Wednesday evening before completing the capture of England midfielder Owen Hargreaves from Bayern Munich on Thursday.

Although United are sure to be linked with further summer signings, Gill insists that more arrivals at Old Trafford are unlikely, having already paid out in the region of Â£50million for the midfield trio.

"We will see what happens over the next two or three months but by and large that will be the major element of our business," Gill told MUTV.

"If a player comes up that Sir Alex (Ferguson) is convinced will make us better, I am sure we will find the funds but that is a major bit of business we have done this week."

Meanwhile, assistant manager Carlos Queiroz believes Nani and Anderson can link up with Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney to form an unstoppable attacking force for years to come.

Both players still need to undergo medicals with The Red Devils, but Sky Sports News understands Anderson (pictured) is on his way to England to complete his switch.

"It is really worth stopping to imagine what an attack formed by Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani and Anderson could do," Queiroz said.

"They are players who blend creativity and magic into football.

"It really is wonderful to be able to mould and enhance their capabilities.

"I have always worked with players in this formative process and this is a significant investment in Manchester United prospects for the next 10 years." </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Sauce, baby.

Might be a bit skint for Torres now (and Daniel Alves :[)
