ah ******** nick. I've been to many games, especially away from home when he's just looked uninterested. Yes, that might simply cos those around him were simply not up to his god like standards, but it was still deeply annoying. Times when he’s just trotted around the half way line gurning and flinging his arms about. OK he’d normally bundle a goal or two, but his overall contribution would be negligible.

Like I said its good to see some heat generated over a contentious issues, I think you're doing it an injustice comparing it to a "petty squabble".

saha will get 25 at least in all comps this year i reckon.

so... given that we've sold ruud who has topped that mark quite comfortably in all bar one season with us, would that be a suitable return to justify the sale of ruud? that's in purely footballing terms, leaving all other emotion out of it. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

i'm guessing it will be in europe that we'll miss ruud the most

though we've been crap in europe for ages anyway

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Van der Sar is United No.1

Edwin van der Sar will officially be United's number one goalkeeper next season, after the Reds confirmed the team's squad numbers for the new Premiership season.

Van der Sar, previously No.19, takes the jersey occupied last term by Tim Howard, who will be spending the season on loan with Everton.

Italian teenage striker Giuseppe Rossi is expected to be a much more prominent figure following the departure of Ruud van Nistelrooy, who's No.10 shirt will be vacant this season. Rossi will wear the No.19 shirt.

Other additions or changes include Tomasz Kuszczak (29), David Jones (25) and Michael Carrick, who, of course, wears Roy Keane's old No.16 shirt number.

Premiership 2006/07 Squad Numbers:

1. Van der Sar

2. Neville

3. Evra

4. Heinze

5. Ferdinand

6. Brown

7. Ronaldo

8. Rooney

9. Saha

11. Giggs

13. Park

14. Smith

15. Vidic

16. Carrick

17. Miller

18. Scholes

19. Rossi

20. Solskjaer

22. O'Shea

23. Richardson

24. Fletcher

25. D.Jones

27. Silvestre

29. Kuszczak

33. Eagles

38. Heaton

49. R.Jones </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

He really really really really really really really won't, you know.

Keyser's right, neither are United class tbh. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

nah fletch has the potential. he ran his socks off in midweek, i was really impressed. just hope it gives him some confidence and he can continue </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Anyone can run their socks off. I'm looking for tangible hints of talent rather than 'trying hard'.

He took his goal far better than I thought he was capable of tbh. But, based on his general play over the last couple of seasons, he is severely defecient in the skills neccessary to be a top class central midfielder - like I said earlier, his passing is erratic, he's not particularly strong, his first touch is as bad as O'Shea's and he lacks any pace.

What sort of things indicate to you that he has potential? I know he had a good performance in the 04 semi against Arsenal, but then average players have good games on occasions. Nothing suggests to me that he can make the grade.

ok so straight choice.

tevez or rossi - if we sign the former and he does well between now and christmas we sell rossi to the geordies. in this hypothetical situation who would you prefer? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Rossi, we could sell Tevez to Chelsea for squillions. Could do the same with Rossi back to Italy I suppose but we'd need to keep him for those quota tingys UEFA are introducing in the CL

but we're not signing anyone so it doesn't matter

oh and Taz in singling out Carrick shocker </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

The radio has singled him out as being awful with his passing. In the absence of Scholes you expect him to step up and control things.

And whats wrong with asking, i was curious as to whether he was just being crap with his passing or unlucky. So far it seems its the usual go with the flow thing rather than stepping up to be counted in a time of need. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Carrick sits deep. That's his position. You can't just tell him to go and play as an attacking midfielder and expect him to run a game.

by the way i fail to see how booing one of our own players can be seen as a good thing, whether he's **** or not (which he clearly is) that is so cityesque its untrue.

booing our own players + fans leaving early (even in a game as amazing as that) = bad </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Richardson really is that bad though. Even Ferguson must realise it now.
