Hi Guys

Just a quick point i'd like to make. I think its unfair some of the stick dm is getting but the comments that he is coming out with is not helping his cause.

'We don't have superstar players' 'we can't win the champions league' 'we need players to come straight in to the team' etc.i think all this negativity is one of the main problems

The players were used to unrivalled support from sir alex publicly even when things weren't going well or when the team was playing poorly and now they don't seem to be getting the same protection which I think is changing there attitude on the pitch and they don't seem to be giving 100%. just my opinion

cheers

He can't rate Rooney and Van Persie that highly.

Rooney and RVP are the only two world class players at United.
Moyes knows that, the problem is half of the team are just average.
Young, Cleverley, Anderson, Nani, Buttner.
Rio looks desperately slow now, Vidic is coming upto 33 and slowing down, Evra's defending is just terrible and get's worse with every game.
Carrick is knocking on for 33 now and Fellaini has only just joined the club and has to adapt.
We need at least 5-6 new players to come in over the January transfer period and the summer transfer period, and they all need to be real quality players if were to stand any chance of the Premiership or the Champions League.

Vidic is 31 and he is world-class.

5-6 new players, you are talking nonsense Simmo.

He said we don't have enough world class players.

Rooney, Van Persie and an aging Vidic are the only world class players in our squad. Michael Carrick could be considered world class by some( when it comes to controlling posession and setting the tempo of a game, he is the best in the league by a country mile ) but he cannot play 8 games in a month without being rested nor can he play to his best without a decent partner.

But what we do have are players with world class potential whether it's in the near future ( Kagawa, Rafael, David de Gea, Fabio?, Jones, Smalling?, Evans, Nani? ) who, if not given a fair chance, will not reach their potential and some great young talents who can reach great levels with time ( Januzaj, Zaha, Lingard, Keanes, Henriquez ).

But what we need right now are players who can improve the squad, while also not blocking the development of youngsters.

At left-back, we only have Fabio who has any talent to speak of, but he hasn't done enough to merit a starting place ( neither has Evra in any case ) and we need to invest in someone.

And the other area is central midfield. We have no up and coming talents whatsoever to realistically challenge for a first team spot ( Ekangamene, Ben Pearson and Davide Petrucci are either too young or too unlucky ) and we desesperatly need a central playmaker in Carrick's mould ( pace setter ).

Vidic is a very good central defender he is not World Class Sydney.
He was World class 2-3 years ago.
Your statements get better and better. remember the one last week about being top by Christmas, do you still stand by that one?
We do need 5-6 players and I will put my house on it that David Moyes buys that many over the January and Summer transfer window.
We need new wingers, at least one or two more midfielders, a left back and a central defender.
This will be Rio's last year, Vidic will be 32 nearly 33, Smalling and Jones are constantly injured.

Appreciate the feedback!

all man u fans + dm know's we are short in a number of area's but coming out and saying it?! just don't think that was the way to go

Vidic is world-class Simmo. He is 31, not nearly 33. Rio used to be world-class, but no longer is. Evra used to be world-class and no longer is, Vidic is world-class.

IMO we will buy 3-4 first team players between now and the start of next season. Obviously a CB, LB & CM will be signed. I would hazard a guess at us signing a left winger too.

There isn't a central defence on the planet that Vidic wouldn't get into. That means he is world-class.

9.) 30 Sep 2013
Wow simmo, vidic not worldclass? pfff the man is one of the best cb in the world mate u need to get off those funny pills

United have some world class players clearly As a non supporter I would class Rooney, RVP, Vidic as world class. The rest are average (at best) and I include DeGea, Evra, Chicorito, Evans, Jones, Carrick. The others wouldn't get in most PL teams and I include Ferdinand, Giggs, Young, Welbeck, Nani and all the other young lads. Liverpool on the other hand have Suarez, Sturridge, Gerard, Coutinho, Agger, Skrtl, Toure, Mignolet, Enrique, Johnson, Lucas ably supported by loads of young guns all proven at international level, including captaining their country at U21 level. Sterling, Henderson, Wisdom, Aspas, Ilori, Moses, Sakho. i'm afraid Moyes has a LOT of work to do

11.) 30 Sep 2013
Sydney, sorry to say it but it's not simmo who is talking nonsense. I'd go further and say its more like 10+ new players needed.

Valencia, nani, young, ferdinand, cleverley, evra, Giggs and anderson all eight out straightaway.

Carrick, RVp and Vidic while still quality are all over 30 and will need replacing in the next couple of years.

Its possible you could also add wellbeck, buttner and fabio to that first list.

Tel, our squad is FAR better than Liverpool's. Far better.

13.) 30 Sep 2013
Sydney, there's only you that actually believes it now. United have players in their squad that quite honestly would not be bought by ANY team in the league. Let me name just some of them: Ferdinand, Evans, Giggs, Evra, Nani, Cleverley, Anderson and Young, that's 8 yes 8 first team players, and you and I know there's more! None of the young lads would get a game in any premiership club yet. There is some potential there, I accept, but no more than most clubs have on their own books. For example none of them compare to say Coutinho or Sturridge. Bury your head in the sand if it helps Sydney, but facts are facts. We all know united has an ageing squad that should have been replaced 2 or 3 years ago, but Fergie persisted with playing Scholes and Giggs because he couldn't find any better players? United have made the classic mistake i'm afraid, by delaying in replacing good players with even better players.
The last batch Fergie bought, were just not up to Uniteds standards, and you know it i'm sure.

Tel, Juve were looking at Nani recently, so I dare say he'd probably get into your all-conquering team of world beaters.

Can you please tell me what he has done over the past two seasons to warrant "WORLD CLASS"?
He's been injured alot, I've seen Vidic get torn apart in quite a few games over the past couple of seasons.
This name "WORLD CLASS" is just banded around so much it's embarrassing. Very good player but world class. nah not for me.
