The Manchester United Thread

[manutdfan]

Yeah if Fergie signs him he'll sort him out, take him into the Manchester united family.

[squirrelbo1]

He's more or less gone mate, from what I have read anyway.

EDIT:
Talk sport, Quinn was on. - quote taken from redcafe.

[TABLE="class: tborder, width: 100%, align: center"]
[TR]
[TD="class: alt1"]Quinn: ''Ya never see Carrick winning a tackle, ya never see him sliding in to win the ball.''

Other presenter: ''But he doesn't get himself into those positions though. He sniffs out attacks before they need a last ditch tackle.

Quinn: ''......Nah, he's the invisible man.'

What a fucking mong, not only is his commentary shite but he is a complete idiot who doesn't understand that modern game, bet he gets off to the "brave" Scott F'n Parker

I hate this country so much! The Italians and Spanish actually appear to rate Carrick, unlike us.

Teach you for listening to talk sport. Also I don't get your dislike for parker. He's s great player

I can't see us signing both Hazard and Kagawa,both are in the same position.It would be too much.

The reason I don't like Parker, is that he embodies everything wrong with the English culture.

Take this example I saw. Parker in midfield, tracks back and makes a crunching tackle, he wins the ball, the commentators go crazy and the crowd are obviously happy with his effort, the commentators then label him 'brave' and are delighted with him.

But in reality, he was firstly out of position, if he wasn't in a stupid position he wouldn't need to make a stupid tackle, slide tackling in reality isn't what you want to do, it should be the last resort. The reason it annoys me is the same people who go off and wank over Parker are the same people who will say "Carrick doesn't do anything" the reason it may seem like that is because he actually has good positioning and reads the game really well. (Also applies to Rio and the 'brave' 'lionheart' .. constantly out of position, see Germany game for reference, John Terry)

Also Parker's passing is distinctly average, compared to Carrick he is very poor at passing, in comparison. (However he does keep it simple as he knows his limitations, which is good.)

I'm not saying he isn't a good player, I do rate him, I just find it hard to get behind a player so over hyped beyond his capabilities, I think he would actually be magnificent in a midfield 3 of Carrick, Parker, and Lampard. That could do some serious damage.

So to summarise, I don't dislike him, I think he is a good player, however I find it ridiculous how overrated he is.

[manutdfan]

That was a dodgy story in the mirror yesterday Rio blaming Fergie for him not going to the Euros, cause Fergie said he couldn't play too many games in a short space of time.

Gill - United can compete

"A player coming to Manchester United has the benefit of working under Sir Alex Ferguson, playing in front of 76,000 every week, and there is our history and heritage and the commercial spin-offs.

"We shouldn't be shy or embarrassed or worried about not being able to attract top players because I firmly believe we can.

"You can play with great players in a fantastic environment. That's a very good package so why wouldn't you choose that?"

Sky Sports

[LC77]

Pogba beasted it! If he goes, boy you've lost a talent.

Really, never heard of him.

Gill has done nothing but shout his mouth off about competing with City in the transfer market, makes you wonder if they have got Hazard. I don't mind Hazards attitude, he's obviously very confident, just like Ronaldo was/is.

Speaking of Ronaldo, did you see his "only god knows" line on Sky.... must be contract negotiation time.

[manutdfan]

Yeah that's right Ronaldo had a big ego, Fergie managed him well got the best out of him, even persuaded him to stay another season.

[Tutankhamun]

Speaking of Ronaldo, him to Sky Sports:

"I saw the last goals in the last minutes, I did [have] a bet that Man United would win the league so I lost, and I am disappointed as they are still part of my heart," he said.

"City have fantastic team but I think Manchester [United], they will continue as the king of England."

I've said it before and I'll say it again, someday Ronaldo will return to United.

Another potential option, Michael Carrick, was not considered after the 30-year-old had asked not to be included if he was to play only a bit-part role. Carrick is effectively now retired from international football, though he would be available in extremis in future if required. "Michael had made it clear in the past he didn't want to be involved [as a fringe player]," Hodgson said. "As it is, I'd have to be convinced he was better than the four I've selected, and that he'd be happy to come out of retirement, if he was to be considered."{

Yeah I can see that argument. I used to say similar about jamie caragher. And I agree with that lineup, but with gerrard captain it cant happen. I would be playing parker, barry and lampard, then young welbeck and theo (rooney to come back) but gerrard capatin, means he is going to play. which HOPEFULLY means lampard isnt. as much as I think he would be better they both cant play, and we have to play a 4 3 3 style formation. its a shame half the england team are scum, and the rest arent leaders . If terry was captain then there wouldnt be this problem.




also 33x yeah i heard him say that, basically carrick didnt want to go and be on the bench, which is fair enough, BUT that may have been the role he would have been asked to play, and if he wasnt prepared to fill the sqaud then thats his perogative.

Is Phelan United's Luca Brasi?

Owen departure marks the beginning of Sir Alex Ferguson’s rebuilding programme

Ferguson is set to make at least three new signings as he bids to return his team to English prominence and make a genuine challenge in the Champions League next season.

Manchester Evening News

[manutdfan]

Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes.

[John25]

Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes.

So will Pogba too most likely

Manchester Evening News

That will be a new rumour of another summer signing... here I come twitter. Look for me. LC77_ITK

So for the huge game today, who do you want to win? I hope Blackpool do it, great to see Holloway back in the PL.

[Tutankhamun]

Presumably, Manchester Evening News are a little more reliable than any random person on Twitter. I can see three signings, would line up with our business last summer. Keep in mind Fergie have confirmed Scholes and Giggs are retiring after next season so if he feels the players to replace them are available now, I think he'll get them.

Yeah would be best to replace Scholes and Giggs this season give the new players time to settle in then.

[LC77]

I'm starting to hate the summer transfer rubbish. I'm dreading the 1st July. The press will once again be camped outside the local hospitals and twitter will be in full flow of more idiot ITK's.

And good luck to Bayern tonight.

[manutdfan]

Yep come on Bayern!
