Hi guys I am feeling more despair now than when we went out of Champions league. it looks like Ronaldo and RVN are probably leaving - our rivals are signing players like Rosicky, Shevchenko and Ballack and what are we doing? Trying to spend 14 mill or so on Carrack?

Why not Gattuso? Why not Buffon? All we have done is of load Howard on loan whilst the other big clubs are rubbing their hands in glee at their new signings.

Can anyone give me reason to have hope?

If the season were to start tomorrow, I'd say the best we could hope for is 4th place, a run in one of the domestic cups and scrambling through a few rounds of the CL á la the bindippers/arse. I just don't see this current squad (even with no injuries all season) having enough to finish ahead of Chelsea (ofc), Liverpool or even Arsenal. Quite frankly I'd be a bit worried about Spurs as well. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Agreed. I thought you saw nothing to worry about in Arsenal? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

That was back when I misguidedly believed we'd significantly strengthen this summer. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

yeah well if the situation is the same come first game of the season i'll quit and support Leicester City.

Pique definitely needs to go out on loan. Evans being touted as going out too is a little bit of a surprise, but shows just how highly-rated he is at the club I think, and he strikes me as the type of player who'd really seize the opportunity - he's got a hell of an old head on very young shouders, as anyone who saw the game on Saturday will have noticed. An 18 year old stepping in and leading the back four, telling the likes of Wes Brown when to push up, great to see.

Who'll take our penalties when Ruud goes?

Ronaldo? Or is that too much pressure to heap on him? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

The lad wanted to take Portugals 5th pen. Stepped up earlier in the competition and netted with ease. Its no pressure at all.

Its between him and Scholes for me as our next penalty taker.

Have we all been taken for mugs? Renewing/getting season tickets and thinking that we would plunge into the transfer market. It's looking like Carrick/Torres aren't coming, nothing has happened in the wake of the Italy scandal, Fergie now wanting to keep Ruud (wonder why), saying Ole/Scholes/Gaby are like "new signings" yet still having a tiny faint hope that we will sign someone, meanwhile Chelsea/Arsenal/Liverpool/Spurs are boosting their squads. I reallllllllly think we will struggle next season.

Matt, can I join your club?

Mika, can I join your club mate?

I'd take that if Carrick was replaced with Someone else, the scoring possibilities there would set EPL on fire.

Rooney had to rip his shirt in first game, imagine Tevez wi his fat neck

Nothing will happen on Saturday, the majority don't care and will still sing "Every single one of us" he's sold out big time, he could have stood down when he was "opposed" to the takeover and gone down as a hero, instead he stayed and is killing his legacy/

need to order that at some point \O/

last night - awful first half, credit to the defence for just about coping with the bizarre tactical setup of our front six and subsequent failure to maintain any level of possession. Ronnie the only saving grace, was inevitable he'd play a part in any goal we got, cracking finish from Louis even with the deflection. pretty comfortable after that really. great to get over the the away game CL hoodoo, now for Wayne to score against Copenhagen to get rid of the other monkey on our backs plz.

mom - Ronaldo

2nd - Gabi - huge improvement from Saturday, great to have the real Heinze back

We'll probably buy Cole back in january as cover. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I know that was a joke but i'd fecking love it if we got Cole back. He might be well past being of any use but he was my favourite player during his stay.

You can only play the back up players you have, so Fergie has no control over the quality of the players coming in now (although you can argue he did during the summer). But he does have control over how many of them play, and changing 5 in one match just seems such an unneccessary risk. Why not 2 changes tonight and 2 at Boro, say?

Lets hope we get away with it. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

You can do more than argue that - it's a simple fact. And not just during the summer - the squad itself is the result of a good few years neglect, particularly in the midfield department.

Rooney kissed the shirt again today I think. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Depends what you believe with regards to our transfer budget.

In awnser to Westandred Ive only ever been to about 7 games. These were usually just games that went on general sale. Ive always been a One United member except for this year, which I dont really know why. But only being 17 and living down south I have had to rely on parents etc for transport. hence only 7 games!

and BBB, I agree about the lack of players signing, debt etc but for some reason Im on middle ground over the Glazers at the moment.

Really pretty annoyed that fate has conspired to keep JSP out of this game. If we have to play 451 to flood the midfield and protect the full-backs our man from Korea would be ideal, especially with Fletch not being quite back to full fitness yet.

Now we have to use Ole, Richardson or Rooney out wide really if one assumes that Scholes/Carrick/Giggs will be our 3 centre-mids & Ronny the other wide man. Smith up on his own and Rooney/Ronny in from the wide areas with Saha/Ole to come in late on? If only we still had Henke...

He is right though. If we had to play Chelsea next weekend i think they would have slaughtered us.

Some quotes from young Youssouf saying United wanted to sign him were picked up by the BBC (I think)…nothing to actually indicate we had any interest whatsoever in him mind.
