I know were the bigger club and a bigger brand but I also know I'd rather have Sneidjer on my back than Ganso
Dear unnamed poster
I would prefer Paulo Henrique(ganso) than sneijder anyday

Ed my friend, any news on what's happening with N'Zogbia it seems he wants to go to Villa but I think he'd much rather perfer us, I think top priority at the club must be if jags goes 20 million would sign Scott Dann, N'zogbia and the signing I think we need to add pace to the right hand side LEWIS HOLTBY three quality signing but we'd all perfer to sign somebody with Jagielka staying with the toffee's {Ed007's Note - Are you on the right page mate?}

Instead of having one defensive & one offensive, why not have two that can do both. Pogba & Tunnicliffe can do both.

Sydney!

naah man..the 4-4-2 diamond can never be out of fashion ...no matter what century it is

Not posted in a while bit I thought I'd pipe up

Just to re-iterate, didn't SAF say after UCL final that he wanted to replicate Barcelona

Now he didn't mean going out spending silly money on players to match barca straight away he intends to bed together a group of players from youth and with what we have already so like barca have years of playing together regularly, that's what he is doing buying and bringing through youth to replicate then for many years

I like many would love sneijder to arrive but who knows maybe Tom cleverly will turn out just as good if given the chance which he won't be given If we bring in ganso, sneijder, cambiasso, de Rossi etc..

Trust SAF Sign anyone else or not we will still be the team to beat

Diouf is quality, Said it from day one and he looked brilliant last night.

Everybody who's been on his back must now think slightly differently...yes we weren't playing the best side in world football but we can only beat what's put in front of us, his technique, movement and finishing was good.

Anybody know what's happened with him going too Blackpool? I haven't heard anything about it since the weekend?

Oh, btw is there anything i've missed? I've been away for a few days...

Guys does anyone think dat we rushed into signing a new goalkeeper. Lindegaard looks top quality and de Gea is very very young.

I'd much rather sign sumone in Mid 20's

United were sharp and clinical in a game against one of the best sides in America, who are halfway through a season and are match fit. Not a single player looked bad. Cannot wait for Saturday to see De Gea, Cleverley, Welbeck, Jones & Smalling in action. Mind you Lindegaard was flawless and Amos was very good too. Anyone with any keeper worries need to watch our latest game in America, our 2nd & 3rd keepers were immense.

Any give anymore information on Obertans performance last night, I have seen the goals and he had a hand in a few and scored too. From what I saw he looks a totally different player.
also looks like he has beefed up alot too, similar to how Ronaldo did.

Thought/Opinions anyone.

I think Obertan needs to be sent out on loan to progress. So far in pre season he has looked good, but for him to go back to reserve team football would be a waste as he will not progress. He should really have been sent out on loan last season along with Bebe.

I think he maybe able to make it at Utd IF he knuckles down and goes out on loan otherwise end of next season he will be gone.

Hoping Cleverly and Wellbeck come good for Utd too theyve done well at Wigan and Sunderland so now they need to prove it at Utd along with Macheda.

Potentially it could be a very exciting season for us. Maybe even Pogba and Morrison gettting some Carling cup games and maybe FA cup games too.

How good was Gabi Obertan today man he is awesome an insanely fast.

The emergence of Nani

Cue the fastest progression of a premiership player since Frank Lampard Nani, who seemed to take the rise and rise of surprise acquisition Valencia as a personal affront. Transforming his frustratingly na ve approach play, often lacking in basic positional awareness and decision making, into one of the top three players in the league this season, contributing to a staggering 41 goals in 43 games. It has perhaps been this statistic more than any other which has helped Berbatov re-discover his scoring touch. Great credit must go to Phelan and the coaching staff for this change around, as well as the forward line adaptation. Here we can see a typical Nani performance as he constantly penetrated the Blackburn defence, putting the hapless Chimbonda to the sword on numerous occasions, but vitally, coming inside and varying his approach (Nani has worked hard on his left foot in the last 12 months, and this is now paying dividends in the form of goals and assists).

A must read for all Berbatov lovers/haters www.stretford-end.com/blog/2011/02/berbaflop-or-berbarotica-the-essential-analysis/

i don't know if this is the best time of night to say this but here goes.
I have said a couple of times that if we'd have lost the league last season then we would have lost in on our away form, i feel we did so poorly away from home because we don't have anyone to boss the centre of the park. In saying this though i feel the role of a defensive midfielder has changed, no longer is it the tough tackling war lord ala Keane but a more tactical approach that is needed a DM is required to make more interceptions now and shield the back four with good positioning rather than crunching tackles whilst still retaining a physical presence, also a DM is expected to have more of a role in starting and helping with the attacking play as well. I disagree that we need an attacking midfielder as i really expect Anderson to have a good season we also have Giggs Cleverley and Morrison who can play that role, also to play with an AM then really you need a midfield three which would mean dropping either Rooney or Hernandez which also considering were abit overloaded with strikers i would expect us to play 2 up top more often next year. So what we really need is a presence in the centre who can be creative and can play as part of a 2 or 3 in midfield, also unless they are gonna be world class then i don't think it worth spending the money on them as we have Fletcher and Carrick as well as Jones now who can play that role so whoever we buy should be an improvement on these 3. Thats why i've narrowed the list down to Arturo Vidal, Javi Martinez and Moussa Sissoko. These three offer everything we need and are world class players, if we can't sign any of them then i feel it best to stick with what we have rather than bring mediocore players in who will just get in the way of our youngsters.
Let me know what you think.
