pjburrage Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I like the kit Saha But his tackle was a bit wild, but the ref let worse ones off without a booking. So just Mikael of our players in the Final, and he probably will not play even though Abigail was atrocious last night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Jimlad Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Has anyone go word of the full breakdown yet for the Carrick deal? I was under the impression it was £14m + £4.5m but today I'm hearing that we're closer to £16m + £2.5m. @Taz: Yes its more money than he's worth for the perceived standard of player that he is but barring any medical hitches or the bank's putting a stop payment on our cheque he's going to sign on as our player. Fergie wanted him and despite Spurs playing hardball in negotiations (which they are entitled to do with him being their chief playmaker) we've persisted because he thinks he'll add something postitive to the team so lets reserve judgement and let him show us what he can bring to the table.

Young Jimlad Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 This will probably come out quite long on the page even though its only 7 paragraphs so, y'know, skip it or type tl;dr if you want. Here's the jist: We are all guilty at times of being overly critical with regards to certain players. I'm saying that really the reality of the situation is that we could be in a much worse situation with regards to the way our squad currently looks. Its not that we don't have a right to be concerned or demand better, but we're kidding ourselves to some extent if we think the grass is markedly greener with regards to the standard of players at other clubs. I'm not talking elite players of which there are very few, but overall top-flight standard players in comparison to those who regualarly come up for criticism from certain corners. Y'all know who they are. - - - - - - - - - - Does nobody else recognise the upside to the fact that even with what most people would consider to be, on-paper at least, our weakest squad for sometime, damn near every one of the established 'pet-hate'/expendable players in the ranks of our first team squad would find a place with everyone outside of last years top five Premiership sides? (Yes, even Liam Miller - obviously I'm thinking more down to the likes of Fulham, Watford et al. but still, Premiership). I don't think that it's in any way a stretch of the imagination that those players are on the whole more than capable of holding down a regular first-team spot at those clubs. Obviously as a rebuttal one could say "well who has flourished after leaving OT" after being deemed expendable? So as a qualification I should note that I'm basing this argument on the basis of 'on-paper' ability. Attitude and adaptability to deal with leaving Manchester United and going to a 'lesser' club are entirely individual and pretty much impossible to assess accurately. Another reason why we shouldn't really be so keen to decry the squad as a whole is that really, and again I'm taking an 'on-paper' assessment is that when it comes down to it our squad doesn't really have any more deficiencies than our main domestic rivals. Please note that I'm not saying that our squad is perfect, I'll freely admit that our squad and 1st XI isn't really equipped to be dually successful domestically and especially on the continent, but this isn't FM where we can easily construct a 25 man squad with two first XIs that can manage such a task (as well as having a glittering array of future superstars happily populating our youth teams). Even Chelsea, for all their money and strength in depth prior to the thinning down of numbers that has recently taken place, have show that no-one can easily construct & manage an ideal squad. All I'm saying is that while pursuit of the ideal isn't something to be abandoned, and although we have the right to expect high standards from all the players representing our club, lets not just criticize for criticism's sake. I know we've all been guilty over the summer months of, at some time, being ****ed off with our squad and the way it was/wasn't shaping up, but I think that we should realise that while there are question marks over Richardson/O'Shea/Fletcher/Silvestre/Evra et al. as long term members of the first team squad, the reality is that we could be in a much worse position as far as the balance and make-up of the first team squad goes.
