Park was getting into the box last season came up with a few goals. I remember talking about it with gan. Was hitting good form till he left for asia. Carrick i still think undervalued but I see why, fletch didn't he got an assist on his return game? Tis true there aint much left of them but still think they will raise as the kids get stronger. With clevs. The team does improve going forward. We need someone to rotate with him though. Aye we shall see.. ..constantine..

I am disgusted SAF didn't go out and pay 35m for Andy Carroll when he had the chance. I'm afraid the old man has lost it where King Kenny has knows class when he sees it.

I'm telling you now, we must be all aware of the resurgence of Liverpool! They have wisely spent 100m which has resulted in last year they were 7th, but this year they have progressed to...oh 7th.

Come on boys, this is a United page. If you would like to mock the Liverpool fans then atleast go and do it on their page where it will be appreciated more ;)

best keeper in the prem they said... maybe even the world..

oh well s**t happens !!! {Ed004's Note - Man Utd fans can't say much can we. We all claim De Gea is the best young keeper in the world yet he made 3 mistakes in two games. Ok if he isn't the best young keeper in the world then Neuer is... but he also conceded a shocker in his first match... *sigh*. All players make mistakes. I saw Messi miss a chance I would score, does that mean he isn't one of the best in the world?}}

Red man bud. still don't think we on decline. we've had some iffy results sure. The back is starting to shore up though. But hernandez smalling cleverly jones de gea and lingarrd have all become key players and young too. In the last two years this has happened. While we are looking for a central componant we are still improving other areas. Benefit will be there for years. The club is getting stronger in brand terms, we are still in the mix for a few trophies iffy europe but then we are in transition. What happened to liverpool was a decline arsenal had slide and they are in danger of declining. But still in the bigger picture I don't think we are there yet. couple of bad results but we haven't dropped a level yet. Bigger picture we are still strong with potential and as much as we could go up a level with the right creative player we are not dependent on it. We can still win the 1-0's. If we weren't doing that. I'd say we were in decline. Teams don't fear us so much but that can play into our hands let man city have there little time, while we hang in there bring in and establish the youth and when it clicks and holds we will see incredible football again. chess not checkers. Just perspective I guess. ..constantine..

Ronaldo's my hero. I hope he gets the Balon'd Or and i also hopes he comes back to us one day soon! :D

It's not rocket science, Jones gets on the edge of the 6yd box and scores. Why can't our strikers realise that is where you score goals from. Not outside the area as Mr Rooney seems to believe. The amount of times i saw our wingers look up and see that no one had made a run into the box so they had to turn back on themselves and lay the ball off. They should be beating their man and whipping the ball across the area for a striker to finish. I don't think R.V.N ever scored a goal outside the area and boy was he some striker. RAINFISHTROMBONE

how about bringing in jamie o'hara as a squad player in january, knows the league, gives his all, good shot. If were getting rid of the deadwood like gibson, park, kusack, and other fringe players, that will free up some money.
cheap reliable, could be a new nicky butt. He want be the answer, far from it, we will still need that marquee cm like eriksen, martinez, but someone in january to add numbers and contribute. either him or rodwell

as much as i think a great all round footballer he is, i think rooney would score more goals if he just stay up front most of the time and not come back to cover for wing back positions, think using nani behind him with valencia and young as wingers again in midweek would not be bad

with chelsea apparently willing to let a few senior players leave in january does anyone think we should sell owen and maybe bring in drogba? hernandez is injured aswell so it would give us more options and i think drogba would bring something different to our attack. he wouldn't be a bad fourth choice striker now would he, rather have him than owen...

Looking for everyone's opinion on the last 6 weeks or so at United. Is it a case of bad form, injuries or a lack of quality in the squad? Personally, while form and injuries are legitimate causes, I still don't believe we have the players at the club needed to compete with City's big transfers. There's a reason why certain players are bought for 15mil (ashley young, valencia, etc) and certain players are bought for twice that (Silva, Aguero, etc). As good as SAF is at finding value, you don't get points on the scoreboard for fielding a cheaper team, and even if you spend 30mil on two players instead of one, you can only play 11 at a time, and depth, while useful, doesn't improve your starting XI. We have so many decent players at the club, but how many are guaranteed starting XI? Rooney, Nani, Evra, Vidic? Look at teams like barcelona, real, city, and they have the majority of their starting XI automatically chosen for them. They have depth to cover injuries, but they don't rely on squad rotation. We seem to be clueless as to who deserves to play, and its impossible to improve our chemistry with a different lineup each week. I still believe we are 50-100mil worth of players away from being able to compete for the #1 spot in the world, and while Im hopeful about players like Cleverley, Jones, Smalling, etc it is not currently enough to mount a credible challenge either in the league or in Europe. I am grateful for all that players like Fletcher, Carrick, Rio, Park and Giggs have given to our club and achieved with the club, but if you think players like that are going to trouble City or Barca, you're sadly mistaken. What would you do going forward? Do you agree with me, and if not, that's cool, just tell me how you would proceed.....

We r 2 quik t give up in r players wen they not in form! Carick not gud enuf 4 utd n neva has been! Does a job but not wat a utd midfield wiv fletch in needs coz fletch is not in form but wen he is he is a workhorse in mid so please no more get rid of fletch! Clevs is a perfect fit as a utd midfeider vision awareness n playmaker but a full season 4 utd is a lot harder on a players fitness so we need another player t step in as is showing now? We always have 2 players 4 each position so it wudnt harm any progress if we buy the finished article 4 big bucks ie modric, wesley, ozil, even kaka? Ravel n pogba will b great but same as wiv clev will need time but wiv s**tty lukin close to us we dint have time! 1 player will take our very gud squad miles further. + if david vila is available surely we wud get him rather than let him add t suarez bein a waste of a gud player at a mediocre team?
