Whilst we won the league last season we all know it was because the other teams were not up to scratch, we had a pathetic away record last season."""
dear sir
ngiak is astounded
all clubs in Europe bar Barcelona were not up to scratch?
is this possible?
you would like man united to win all their games
and probably come up with another avenue for criticism
ngiak is truly amazed by these new fangled fans
doesn't anyone remember the 70s and 80s?
do we have the most demanding fans ever?
ngiak wonders where 50% of these people will be if we were 2nd 3rd or 4th in the league...

@ Away record of top 4
Man United 25pts
Chelsea 26pts
Man City 28pts
Arsenal 31pts

Home record of top 4
Man United 55pts
Chelsea 45pts
Man City 43pts
Arsenal 37pts

We won the league because we were the best team our away record was not good but i would hardly call it pathetic.

The papers rumoured united where interested in these players. there was no offical confirmation.
United a in need of CM this season as we all know. A**m and Henderson if United was really interested SAF would have bid for these, just like he did with Jones, both young etc..
i could ask you are you sure united where interested in these players...
as for james bond nothing going on, just same minds may think alike

Jenny"""
dear miss jenny
firstly
sir alex himself has made comments on both a**m and Henderson
and your previous question or statement was that we were "not interested"
which is clearly untrue
second
ngaik hardly thinks you think like James bond
you guys are as different as heaven and earth
gan
ps... no disrespect meant either way {Ed007's Note - None taken Gan.}

Type "nike football johnny heitinga" into google and you get:

One of the most deadly accurate players in the world, John Heitinga plays for Man Utd and wears the Nike T90 Laser III.


Mirror image of that Sneijder thing people discovered-it meant nothing-unless of course we're getting Heitinga

i see we still have a few negative nasri's who wasn't happy with last season.

and cowardly kaka's who give it out at others whilst hiding behind anonymity.

most teams last season had iffy spells. the difference being that we still managed to churn out results and grinfd our way forwards.

Yes it aint pretty, and it aint the swashbuckling style we are used to. But i bet any chelsea, arsenal, city and scouser fan would have taken that if it meant the league title.

The future is bright, and the youth look good as Sydney and Rainfish keep saying.

And i enjoy their little tiffs, very entertaining and very informative.

And Gan is highly entertaining as well.

And a shout out to any regulars i've missed, you keep me entertained at lunch.

The squad has lost a lot of people, but weaker? we will have to see about that really wont we. We will make 1 more signing. The lads we have brought in will do well. And out of what we have lost who really will be a huge loss? Edwin, maybe scholes.

Any way whinging wesley's chin up and Luka on the bright side.

Excuse me for talking about you know who......again, just looking at various websites and the nike football site that prevously stated sneijder played for man utd now says he plays for inter

Just watching Sneijder in Inter's pre season friendly and I have to say he is playing fantastically, he is very comfortable in possession and can ping the ball anywhere.

I hadn't seen him play much before we were linked with him but I have to say he would bring so much to the team.

20 Jul 2011 16:21:30
ed
now moratti comes out and says he is unsure about sneijders future...but expects him to stay at inter...so was this said to make it seem to the inter fans that they don't want to sell? Or would he genuinly like to keep him
DJ {Ed007's Note - I said before that Inter wouldn't come out and say they were selling and Sneijder wouldn't come out and say he wanted to leave.}

We will sign at least one central midfielder mate, don't you worry about that. But I agree if we never, then we have strengthened our squad, but not our best XI. But it's all irrelevant as we will be signing a decent central midfielder.

Rainfish, have you ever thought about joining me & Gan at Red Football Ltd? It's a bigger salary than MUST are paying you?

Sydney ;)"""
dear mr rainfishtrombone
ngiak must be getting old
a hint of respect for ngiak or is ngiak hallucinating?
what is the world coming to...
by the way
since you agree with ngiak that we should stick with the youngsters that we have
what's the deal with constantly bickering and bitching about the club's lack of spending??
confusing times indeed for ngiak

Cant beleive Utd think their "closing the gap" on Barca with the signings of Young Jones and De Gea, meanwhile Barca will get Fabregas and Sanchez which puts them absaloot miles ahead of yous as if they were'nt already Quite laughable

20 Jul 2011 14:01:23
I think we all need to realise here guys that United are not going to be spending 30million plus on any player. The transfer strategy at the moment is that we sign players as Young as possible with a ceiling of of around 20million. I am informed that we may stretch to 25 in exceptional circumstances. The Berbatov deal is the last of its kind for United so all this talk of Pastore and Sneijder is frutiless. United made an enquiry for Sneijder (as he's classed as exceptional)but the price is too high (nevermind the wages). A CAM may come in, but he will be a young player with potential not a high priced finished article.

The Word

Rainfish there is 40 odd days left in the transfer window to sign a player/s. Your so negative. Your the head of the doom and gloom brigade, you're not happy unless your putting the club, the manager or the supporters down. You said United wouldn't spend much money this summer but we've spent 50 million so far and by the looks of things are still in the market for at least another player.

You slag Syd and Gan and anyone else who has a positive word to say about the club they love. I feel sorry for you. I know your a big United fan but I'd hazard a guess and say you havn't enjoyed being a United fan in a long time.

Make hay while the sun shines and right now the sun is shining on our club so instead of looking at all the negatives how about for once, FOR ONCE, get behind the team.

I don't know why we don't appear to be looking at Christian Eriksen of Ajax. Northern European, so you don't have the latin or southern european concerns with the weather, really good attacking midfielder, young, sell-on value. Any views?

20 Jul 2011 09:54:22
Sir Alex Ferguson admits he would understand if out-of-favour striker Dimitar Berbatov chose to leave Manchester United this summer. SSN

Looks like Berbatov is certain to leave Old Trafford.
But if he leaves we will be with 5 strikers, Rooney, chicha, owen, welbeck, macheda.
I dont think we will sign any forward...

We will definitely go for Attacking Midfielder, ..May be Sneijder (Acc.to Ed, 007)

Nasri is also offered £125,000/week by Arsenal.., so he will extend his contract by 2 years, and he will be the captain for Arsenal....

I guess, Ganso or Mata will be coming to old trafford if not sneijder.

We wanna replace 'Scholes'...a heacy name...such a heavy name of football world...so, a big name should come here at OT...it will be sneijder...not schwenstiger...he signed 4 yr contract last summer...
son sneijder is our boy...7 dutch player suit here well too...remember van der saar, nistelrooy, stam, along with van der vaart, kuyt [spelling]....so we r goung to have sneijder...

20 Jul 2011 03:40:27
I think the fact that fergie has come out and said he is keeping tom cleverly means he may be used more and more along with anderson, fletcher and carrick in that central midfield role, I doubt a central midfielder will be bought as there is no value in the market
