The Manchester United thread 2006/2007 - featuring BBB leaving early

[pjburrage]

Heard something about Fletcher yesterday. He's apparently confided in friends that if he isn't starting regularly from next season, he'll leave for Rangers next January.

Fair enough. Can't blame the lad. I wonder if he'd feel differently though if he were ahead of O'Shea in the pecking order - still not first XI, but the first choice back up as it were.

[pjburrage]

Oh and its no wonder Premiership players have a whole load of hangers on, apparently they pay them upwards of £30k a year to just be their personal drivers etc

Oh and Good luck Theis. Seems like you're having better luck finding an accounting job than I am

Agreed, he's at an age now where he needs to be starting regularly, and is good enough to be starting more than he is so all the best to him if he were to go. Should we sign Hargreaves then he's as good as gone.

[Taz & The Devil]

With Fergies talk of youngsters making a bid to push out some of the senior members of the squad next season who would you get rid of to allow those youngsters the chance to step up?

<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">

Van Der Sar, Kuszczak, Foster

Neville, Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Silvestre, Heinze, Evra

Ronaldo, Park, Scholes, Carrick, Fletcher, O'Shea, Giggs, Richardson

Saha, Rooney, Solskjaer, Smith

</pre>

[pjburrage]

O'Shea, Richardson, Smith, Silvestre, and possibly Brown.

[alilaw]

I'm a bit slack and don't know enough about our youngsters coming through to know which area of the team we're strongest in there. But Lee Martin's got to be better than Richardson - in fact I know he is, by virtue of the fact that he can pass a ****ing football. So KR can gtf. Move O'Shea to the 'defenders' part of the squad to cover left back. Silvestre goes, Gabby too (probably for the best, he's too good to sit on the bench ), Simpson promoted to reserve right back, get Pique back as reserve centre back. Rossi in as an attacker, no-one out unless someone else comes in. Another central midfielder in.

Sorted.

[James07?]

Keep

Van Der Sar (but allow to leave on a free next summer)

Foster

Neville

Brown (borderline)

Ferdinand

Vidic

Evra

Ronaldo

Scholes

Carrick

Giggs

Rooney

Solskjaer

Sell if the right offer comes in and the money is used on new players

Kuszczak

Heinze

Park (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Fletcher

Smith*

Saha*

*Assuming a new striker comes in one of these would move down to the next group

Look to get rid

Silvestre

O'Shea

Euthanasia if nobody is stupid enough to bid.

Richardson

That’s all based on very good offers for the 2nd group and assuming the incoming players will be better (obviously).

[gonch19]

ferdinand out, jonny evans in in a 95'esque style shocker

[alilaw]

Keep Saha, he's fb when match fit. There aren't actually many better options out there if you're looking for someone who's quick, got good movement but can still hold the ball up and is decent in the air.

Honestly, if he was a more instinctive finisher he'd be MILES better than Ruud. As it is, he's only a tad better.

[gonch19]

oh no ali what have you done?

cue a page of 'ruuuuuuuuuuud' posts and youtube clips

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> David Beckham will be back at Old Trafford next month after being named first on the all-star Europe XI squad list to face United in the Jubilee Charity Match on 13 March.

Beckham, who gave eleven years' service to the Reds before departing for Real Madrid in 2003, will be joined by Liverpool pair Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher.

The special match marks two jubilees: Manchester United's half-century of involvement in European competitions; and the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome, which laid the foundations for a united Europe. It is being staged by the Manchester United Foundation and UEFA, with support from the European Union. All the proceeds from the celebration match will go to charity.

David Beckham was the first to accept his invitation to the match and is excited about the prospect of returning to Old Trafford. He said: “I'm happy I’m going to play on March 13th. It will be something special to go back to Old Trafford, and I’m really looking forward to it."

He will be joined by former England team-mates Carragher and Gerrard, also named in the all-star European squad selected by Italy’s world champion Marcello Lippi, who will be head coach of the Europe XI.

"It is an honour for our club that two of our players have been selected to represent Europe,†Liverpool boss Rafael Benítez said. “I know that they feel very privileged to be in the team and that they will enjoy playing alongside the top players from other clubs."

“I’m looking forward to the match,†said Gerrard. "It’s a pleasure to play alongside the top players – especially if the match earns some money for charity.â€

Carragher added: “I feel proud that a coach like Marcello Lippi has selected me for the European team,†Jamie Carragher comments. “It’s a real honour.â€

</div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Neville to break Carragher's and Gerrard's legs please. (only if he plays ofc.)

Talking of Beckham, I was looking through all my old junk the other day and found my 'David Beckham King of all Cockneys' flag, it's about 8-9 years old, but it has no stick.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> Eric tells Ron: Be like Giggs

Cristiano Ronaldo has been told to use Ryan Giggs as inspiration and keep on playing at Old Trafford for years to come.

Since joining the Reds in 2003, the 22-year-old Portuguese winger has gone from being relatively unknown, though full of potential, to being considered the best player in the world by Sir Alex Ferguson.

There has been speculation of his future in recent weeks, but one of his friends, former Reds midfielder Eric Djemba-Djemba, says Ronaldo is enjoying his football.

"I speak to Ronaldo on the phone all the time and we meet up for a coffee and go out a lot in Manchester,†said the former Nantes midfielder, now on loan from Aston Villa with Championship side Burnley.

“I've been telling him to stay in England, not to go to Spain. I think he understands that, I know he does. He tells me he is not leaving. The manager at United likes him, the players like him and the fans like him. So why go?â€

During Djemba-Djemba’s time at United following a £3.5million move to Old Trafford, the Cameroonian looked up to Giggs.

Just three matches off 700 appearances for United, the Welshman is an inspirational figure at the club.

“He should use Ryan Giggs as an example,†says Eric. “When United played against Villa this season I went into their dressing room and said to Giggs: 'You're 33 and you're still as quick as ever. How do you do it? You're amazing'."

"Cristiano is settled and everything is going well for him now, but who knows what might happen if he changed clubs and went abroad?

"He is one of the leading scorers in the Premiership, which is fantastic for a wide player.

"But I think he can wait to move to a club like Barcelona or Real Madrid, he is still only 22. If he wants, he could move in three or four years and still have some good seasons there.â€

And Djemba-Djemba feels there is every reason to stick around, with success just around the corner for the Reds. “I think United will win the Premiership this year,†he says, before adding: “I hope they do.â€

Eyebrows will be raised at the assumption that the Spanish duo are a bigger club than United, and Sir Alex Ferguson's record of keeping hold of his prized assets is excellent - unless he has a fall-out with the player concerned.

Just **** off you prima donna flop.

[gonch19]

viana simply scarred by his memories of english football. who wouldnt be after playing for newcastle.

oh and gerrard and carragher

in there to drum up some kind of interest?

[Saha]

fo with any saha or ruud hate whatsoever. both are like sunshine and rainbows.

will be gutted if fletch does leave, but as a couple of you have said it'd be best for his career

[Mika]

Ahahaha such rubbish. Love all this rewriting of history now Ruud has gone, some people have such short memories it's untrue.

Given me a good chuckle anyway so wp

[Mika]

As for selling Park, regardless of what we think of his quality, we're far too thin on the ground on the wings to consider selling him either way imo.

honestly though, whenever those four letters are even mentioned you get your knickers in a twist and become so uppity. chill out, hes gone and hes never coming back. accept the banter for what it is ffs, i dont think anyone here really believes saha is better than him.

[Mika]

I hate this, I don't see why I'm not allowed to mention "those four letters" without the likes of you jumping on me and saying "oh he's gone get over it", it's the most ridiculous response ever. I'm perfectly over it, doesn't mean that I can't respect him and mention his name in the thread, in the same way that Taz praised Kanchelskis the other day.

There is so much nonsense said about Ruud and if defending him is uppity to you then frankly I don't give a toss. If I think you're talking complete rubbish, I'm going to point it out whether you're serious or not.

[James07?]

Blimey, can we go a page without another ruud bitch fight.

Let's all just agree that he was a great goal scorer but we are better off without him.

[Nick OGS20]

blimey, the Djemba twins making his most important contribution to United long after he left :**)

Viana can f**k off

Ruud i,w,aawbfb

and i completely agree with Matt tbf, if you don't want people leaping to Ruud's defence then don't bait them with the deliberate intention of getting them to do just that. pretty f**king simple really.

As for the squad thing:

Keep

VDS

Neville

Evra

Evans

Simpson

Ferdinand

Vidic

Ronaldo

Scholes

Carrick

Park

Giggs

Rooney

Solskjaer

Sell only if an immense offer comes in and the money is used on new players

Kuszczak

Saha

Rossi

Piqué

Martin

Should probably move on/be moved on for the good of their own careers if we get better replacements AND decent bids

Fletcher

Brown

Smith

Heinze

Actively look to sell

Silvestre

O'Shea

Eagles

Arrange kneecapping for and claim insurance

Richardson

Oops :/

No-one wanted to debate my Danny Wallace comment though

[James07?]

Righto, it’s been a while since we’ve done one of random poll type things…so here’s a new one.

Name the 10 most influential players of the Ferguson era:

So, not favourite or best…up to you decide if you’re going to place more emphasis on longevity or the importance of particular moments / events. Is Mark Robins more influential that Gary Neville? Where do Rooney and Ronaldo fit? Etc etc

List them 1-10 with 1 being the most influential.

Got it?

GO!
