hey guys just wondering had the lad frederic veseli featured for the reserves yet? whats the story with him does he have only until the summer to prove himself? ed syd etc.?

He's feature twice while I've been watching so maybe more. He's been good from what I've seen.

He played central midfield in the game I saw and looks a decent footballer

I think alot of us on here would like a world class striker to come in and play just in front of Rooney. There's the usual names like Llorente, Cavani, Higuain and Benzema. But, do you think that a move for van Persie could be successful?

Its rumoured that he may leave in summer, he will want to be win trophies and he may not achieve that at Arsenal.

So, do you think we could sign him? After all, we did nearly sign Nasri.

Im afraid only RVP can answer that! IF he becomes available I'm sure we'd be interested. But only RVP can decide if he wants to leave, and if so, where he wants to go

Money may be a big factor IF he is open to various offers. But if RVP was to choose a certain club, say United for instance, I'm sure we could offer a decent wage and a fair transfer fee for a player with 1 year left on his contract

So in short, I think the ball is firmly in his court

Theres no doubting if we did get him and a good CM'er we'd be sorted!

I dont think Van Persie would even consider coming to us, i think if he was to leave Arsenal he would go abroad, my bet would he Madrid because i could see Higuian leaving this summer, just my opinion though

L.A.7

Has anyone heard of a player called javier hernandez aka chicharito?

Things learned from last night.. We need to sign a right back, centre midfielder and world class striker to partner Rooney (whose carrying the side this year).. Park and rafael are nowhere near good enough!

Why the sudden dislike of Rafael? He wasn't to blame for anything last night. I think a RB & LB could be signed with Rafael & Fabio remaining back-up?

Sydney!

No name,

You learnt that from last night? How exactly when we played 4-5-1 could you learn that we needed somebody to partner Rooney?
Rafael has one bad game and he is nowhere near good enough?

Love it on here, all you armchair fans
allways talking about we need to sign
someone every day. {Ed004's Note - I think the majority of people on here have stated all season that players need to be signed though. It is obvious we are currently nowhere near as good as Barca or Madrid}

Disagree about Rafael, he's still very young and inexperienced plus he and his brother have had alot of injuries over the last two years. Agree on the rest. Park is useless now good in the big games occasionally, woeful overall. We need a RB two CM's attacking/defensive and a ST. We could also in my opinion do with an actual left footed LM/LW. Anderson, Berbatov, Owen, Macheda, Park and Kuszczak need to be moved on permanently. Personally I'd like to see Medhi Benatia, Luka Modric, Cheick Tiote (or similar defensive minded midfielder) and Benzema signed. Unfortunately I can't see those four coming especially Benzema. I think Benatia would be a cracking signing for us but there's probably about 20 clubs interested in him so it will be a hard one. I hope we'll be after Modric in the summer.

We need a left back aswell...evra is just not at the races and never will be....nor is he a captain...most clubs have senne him as the weakness and are playing down that side...needs sorting big style and Rapahel as been with us 2 years and not learnt anything !!

Sydney....armchair supporters or not we watch Manutd week in week out and its not just last night..its last week , its benfica ,its Basle ,its man city at home , its Liverpool,its Barca twice in two finals..the players are not up to it...some are and some aint and fergie is pulling the same wool over your eyes...we are papering over cracks in the premiership but in europe we are well short..smell the coffee....i mentioned 6 months ago to start blooding the kids ie Pogba/Morrison/Tunnicliffe/ Keane...( we all know Morrison as gone) so let bllod these guys and meantime look to replace Scholes.... Hazzard is a great place to start watch this guy and tell me his no UTD potential

It's very much a side in transition, but signings are needed imo. For me a new LB is needed, at least 1 central midfielder, and an out and out goalscorer.

I think any more than 3 signings can be considered a premium.

Rafael is shocking wtf was he doing against bilbao on the 3rd goal? ball watching hin and fabio can go pogba is staying now hes 1 for the future lets sign inler, hazard, subotic, kyle walker, llorente then we can start to challange for trophies does anyone agree summat fishy is goin on at old trafford alex sais theres not much value in the transfer market yet players such as scott parker were available on loan view to a perm deal i reckon he has been handed money to buy players and has been told wots left when he retires he can keep just my opinon dont shoot me down for saying this but summat is goin on at old trafford and my bull#### detector has gone off

Things we learned in this post.. Bandwagons are well and truely being jumped on.

Hi Ed, do you know of any serious interest in the Brazilian centre back Dede? I heard we sent Stam out there to look at him. {Ed002's Note - Both Milan clubs, Real Madrid, Fiorentina, Benfica and Roma have shown an interest in Dede over the past couple of years but Juventus, Manchester United and Bayern Munich retain a serious interest in the player.}

After missing out on Varane, this lad seems to be the next best thing closest to Rio in his prime.

Sydney!

Dede has been scouted alot over the last few years, no idea if United will go for him though. Good player
