With RVP potentially needing surgery I am hoping young Wilson gets a run in the team, I watched him rip City 21s apart - he was very impressive!

Blind could shock a lot of people IMO, Although the lad is not classed in the same league as the likes of Vidal and Strootman - he is still only 24. Plenty of time to establish himself as a top player. Also don't like these comments about him being a "Glorified John O'Shea" as much as big John was a good all-round player - I think this lads is a lot better and as we all know sometimes the big names just don't work out, Seba Veron for example. Anyway I am delighted we have the lad on board he is better than what we have and I thought he had a very good World Cup.

I do think we will turn things around, obviously we wanted a blistering start but it will take time, the advantage the likes of Chelsea have is that Jose knew where he needed to strengthen last season but still had a squad who could compete, We unfortunatly didn't have such a luxury and now like LVG said we have to re-build.

Van Persie did alright at the WC and yesterday needing an operation. Perhaps it will keep until the summer?

What I mean is if he has to undergo the surgery and he is out - then give Wilson a run in the team, although I have a feeling there could be a striker potentially coming in.

Perhaps what will keep until the summer Syd?

John O'Shea was a great layer for us and deserved better than some of the comments on here. Disgraceful

Saying "a glorified John O'shea" is'nt pulling JO down its simply saying he can do what John does but a little better.
Some people need to lighten up a little.

I'll never forget o'shea's chip and the amazement on his face that it actually went in, not to mention he megged figo!
