Hi Guys
I would like to wish all the Eds and all the posters a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Lets hope the Reds make it a memorable 2015.
Manchester United Banter Archive December 24 2014
Use our rumours form to send us manchester united transfer rumours.
24 Dec 2014 21:15:51
If you could have one player as a christmas present who would it be and why mine would be Clyne because he is one of the best young english right backs and Rafaels rashness and overall injury record are bad
{Ed004's Note - Godin/Hummels/Laporte any of them. I can't think of any rb that is 'world class'. Coleman seems injury prone and defensively poor though excellent going forward. Clyne seems a good player but a bit overrated. Isn't great defensively. Cuadrado seems a possible transfer but he is a right winger primarily so would take time to adapt. Alves is over rated. Haven't seen enough of the young right back at Milan to judge him.}
24 Dec 2014 21:42:07
Despite our defensive problems it has to be Ronaldo back for me, he's the best player in the world.
Pig a, because he's not far off being the best in the world for his position! Him Herrera and di Maria in a midfield three would be immense!
24 Dec 2014 23:20:50
I would go for bale! He's already been ahead of where Ronaldo was at his age, can change a game in a couple of seconds,pace to burn, can pick a good pass, as a previous left back he picks up good defensive positions and knows where the net is! I can't realistically see him in Jan,maybe the summer If the rumours are true. I'm more hopeful about hummels though,it's a position we need a leader in and in my personal opinion is a player we must go all out to try and sign.Dortmund are in a bad position at this present time and are never going to get close to cl football next year whereas we most probably will so that is on our side. Plus who wouldn't want to walk on to the old Trafford pitch wearing our might red shirt week in week out. Please Santa give us hummels :). Merry Christmas lads have a good one.
Meant to say pogba!
24 Dec 2014 23:54:26
Matic. The guy is just a monster and we've been crying out for a player with his presence and he's infinitely better on the ball than big wig
Pogba

Hi edds,
Any idea as to why Guillem Balligue keeps shooting down the possibility of Madrid even contemplating the sale of Bale if as you say Madrid have a map planned out which includes the sale of Bale if possible ?
Personally think he would be an amazing signing for us, his pace is frightening, imagine him and Di Maria with Falcao. For me he's currently in the top 5 players in the world.
Being welsh myself I'd love to see another quality welsh man come in as we had one the last 20 years
Thanks
24 Dec 2014 22:00:13
Because Ballague doesn't know half as much as he makes out? Remember the herrera saga.
24 Dec 2014 20:02:04
Merry Xmas everyone. God Jul. I'm stocked up on fine booze and some outrageous cheese. I like my cheese like I like my women. bring me out in a rash. Don't tell the wife though.

Og God Jul til dig, Supasub!

Merry Christmas to everyone who visits, posts and edits this site. It has filled many a boring afternoon this year.
Beast, jred and red_sky, we have argued many times but deep down we all want one thing and the one thing we have in common, success for the team we love. I hope all you'd Christmases are fantastic.
A special mention must go to chris the redman and his family who have had a tough year and will be enjoying their first christmas with their newest little red. The outpour on this site earlier this year was amazing to see and I'm sure every body on here wishes you the best Christmas ever.
I am not going to even try and name everybody because it will offend but AJH, nomidfield, Sydney, deeps, Shahram, Stevie and Jake have a great one and I'll see everyone on the otherside ready to beat the magpies.
24 Dec 2014 20:17:53
Happy Xmas, mate :)
24 Dec 2014 20:22:29

24 Dec 2014 17:54:46

24 Dec 2014 18:41:10
Hooorraaayyy the Beast is back. Have a great Xmas.
24 Dec 2014 20:19:52
Happy Xmas, Beast. To quote someone I can't remember, 'don't let the ba$tards grind you down'. Hope the missus is reaping the benefit :)
The beast is out of the cage!e
Beast, welcome, back, get back to posting regularly my friend, ignore those who don't even consider your arguments. Have a great Christmas
Merry xmas Beast.
24 Dec 2014 15:55:10
Merry Christmas to the Eds, all the posters, and the previous posters, and the self exciled posters! We're all one United family. All the best.
Have a good one NM, still think you should get a new name for Christmas!
24 Dec 2014 23:28:30
Happy Xmas, NM. Sh1t year for you, I know, but hope you and the family enjoy this Xmas as best you can in the circumstances.
Thanks guys. We're coping ok. But sad nevertheless.
Ajh i can't bring myself to do it. Get pogba in and I'll call myself "midfield-orgasm" if eds allow such filth!! Haha
24 Dec 2014 15:13:32
Merry Christmas everyone hope you and your families have a brilliant day tomorrow and a very special one to Chris Redman and his missus and their baby boy
24 Dec 2014 17:07:58

24 Dec 2014 14:59:19
Happy Christmas, great work done by the eds, ye keep us sane and grounded when it comes to united, happy Christmas to all posters from from near and far,
24 Dec 2014 14:53:19
Merry Christmas to my UNITED family! May we keep agreeing and disagreeing, having fun and winning! Have blessed holiday y'all!
24 Dec 2014 14:44:25
Just like to wish all the Eds and all the people who contribute to all the sites a Happy Christmas.
Much respect to all of you, have a top one.
24 Dec 2014 14:26:41
Happy Xmas to all the posters, Eds and readers on this great site.
Especially those regulars who've had a difficult year in one way or another.
I think, as Utd fans, whilst appreciating there's a long way to go, we're all a bit more optimistic at the end of this year, than we were at the end of the last one. The green shoots of recovery are showing :)
Take care of yourselves and your loved ones over the holidays, and thoughts going out to the people of Glasgow at this terrible time for them. Hope you're ok, Bond.
Lol Stevie, we still smell but not as bad as last year. Have a great one, looking forward to seeing the team gel and stride on next year.
24 Dec 2014 14:23:19
Merry Christmas one and all! Hope you all have a happy one and then we follow it up with a big January!
24 Dec 2014 23:30:02
Happy Xmas, Fresh. Stay off the site during January, mate :)
24 Dec 2014 13:53:16
Just wanna wish all a marry christmas and a happy transfer window. Hopefully we'll get some nice presants, come january!
{Ed004's Note - Same to you. Hope everyone has a good Christmas and we have an even better January. Can't see many signings though}
24 Dec 2014 13:34:21
blind back in training
Great, he is a good squad member.
I rate Blind a lot, I believe he will be a very important player for us over the next few years, I just see something special in him haha. Have a good one lads, all the best :) RD
24 Dec 2014 12:09:37
Merry Christmas to all the friends and EDs. May God Bless You All. Have a blessing year.
{Ed002's Note - Bir hıyar daha büyük takmayın.}
Did I just read that right Ed?
lol
24 Dec 2014 16:22:02
Keep up the great work Ed002
24 Dec 2014 16:22:17
What's it's mean? I can't get it Ed002.
Haha! That's Turkish for something! I find my missus saying that a lot!
24 Dec 2014 12:09:17
Merry Christmas lads. It's been a fun year so far, and let's hope there's plenty more to come!
Spare a thought for me, at 32 years old this is my first year away from the UK for Christmas. I'm sinking a weisse beer keg and thinking of friends and family in the UK!
I haven't been posting as much as I'd like to, but that's probably a good thing as I do wind some people up with my viewpoint! Merry Xmas to all the Editors too, you lads do a smashing job and keep us all informed.
Hope you all have a great few days, peace out!
{Ed002's Note - Have a great holiday season Red Sky. Jista Labradoodle tiegħek żżomm snien tiegħu li lilu nnifsu fil-futur.}
24 Dec 2014 13:29:28
All the best Red_Sky, the site wouldn't be the same without the arguments and differences of opinion so keep the posts coming.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
24 Dec 2014 10:46:04
Hi all posters, readers, and Ed's
I wish you all a merry Christmas and a peaceful and happy new year.
Eds thanks for all your insights humour and hard work. Have a great holiday season.
{Ed002's Note - Fie pinguini dumneavoastră vă menține cald acest Crăciun Ken.}
24 Dec 2014 10:36:11
Merry Chrostmas to everyone, I wold try and list you all individually but I did that last year and forgot a few which was a tad embarrassing.
None the less, I'd like to see Beast back sooner rather than later, it would also be good to see Jono and Pea come back. Welcome to all the new 1st time posters, don't fret if someone gets all hissy because they disagree with you, it can get like that.
Finally, Facebook keeps telling me everyone had a great year but I know a few on here didn't. I hope 2015 is kinder and brings you all health and happiness.

All the best Tony mate.
24 Dec 2014 13:30:04
Merry Christmas Tony, looking forward to an exciting new year.
24 Dec 2014 14:28:00
Merry Xmas, Tony, lad. Hope the job hunting's going well, mate.
24 Dec 2014 10:02:39
Hi Ed002, just wanted to ask how long you think it will be until people start asking bizarre questions about adidas really wanting United to sign Bale and agree to part fund the deal???
Merry Xmas
{Ed002's Note - Why would they do that?}
24 Dec 2014 09:55:53
Would just like to wish everyone who frequents this wonderful forum a fantastic Christmas and a very happy New year.
And would like to thank the editors for all their hard work and priceless info they give us.
Merry Christmas 😁🎄🎄🎄
{Ed002's Note - Enjoy your holidays.}
24 Dec 2014 08:28:20
Merry christmas to all and a happy new year we've had our disagreements and nobody ever agrees with beast but that what a banter site is for football argumeents
24 Dec 2014 09:33:24
Wishing everyone a very merry Christmas, thanks to the eds for the excellent Job you all do. Here's hoping for 6 more points and some players back from injury please Santa!
{Ed002's Note - Enjoy the holidays.}

Happy Christmas boys, it's been a strange year, three managers in a few months who would have thought it! But we have come through the storm (almost) its great to escape reality and come onto the site there's has been great debates on here and an unbelievable effort from the ed's again this year, so thanks lads, have a great Christmas and hopefully three points against Newcastle Friday.
Merry Christmas to the Ed's and all fellow posters.
9 points and a few Falcao goals would be great.
