With all this talk about having little money for transfers and going for young english talent then i cant understand why nobodys considered victor moses? for me he's been wigan's best player for a long time.
Add him to some 2 or 3 of these lads and a possible CB and i think we'd be an all round improved team:
Barkley
Clyne
kagawa/gotze
hazard(unlikely)
benzema(fergie big fan)

Outs: Berbatov, Kuszcack, Diouf, Owen, Macheda

I really hope we dont sell park, really underrated in my opinion.

MUFC NOW AND ALWAYS

Here we go with another list of names that only the likes of stoke or Wigan should be linked too, we want to challenge barca, real Madrid etc not end up like arsenal

If you want to challenge barca long term we need good young english players, especially with the home-grown rules coming into play. only pogba, tunnicliffe, morrison looking good enough atm. theres always another luke chadwick to come along. haha

I think Welbeck deserves a mention for Mr. Consistency. Has he ever had a bad game?

Percy

So does welbeck deserve the 60k rather than the 45k? 4 me i think he does, ppl say when arguing about rooney's wages(regarding morrison and pogba) when he came to united he had a year of premierleague football and was an international, likewise welbeck had that with sunderland and is now an england international he deserves his wages if not more

I agree, he deserves a first teamer's wage. He's been outstanding this season, keeping Berbatov and Chicharito from the side.

Percy

I think Welbeck has been awesome for us this season, does he deserve 60k a week? umm i think a compromise is the best solution, he still picks up a fair few knocks so i'd say 50-55k a week and maybe a new more important shirt number to show our faith in him would be good. Either the no.9 or the no.11 when they become available in the summer.

Shappy

Should have scored a hatrick, hernandez would have

Hernandez would have been good at finishing some of the chances that were created, however i think sometimes he tends to go missing and when in possession it's like we have 10 men, against a team like arsenal i think Welbeck was the better choice. Played well on the whole, had a few sloppy (Giraffe leg) moments when infront of goal but they did defend well, koscielny had a terrific game.
My man of the match was Valencia purely because the goal that gave us the edge after a long good spell. Evra also played great obviously.

Ozwald

Great British talent is Welbeck, Hernandez for me though every time.

PJ

I doubt he would have actually. United also wouldn't have been as dominant because Hernandez lacks the technical ability that Welbeck has.

Percy

I think come end of the season he will get the contract for 60k. But i'm wondering against Liverpool Hernandez has caused liverpool defenders problems with his movement. A couple of liverpool fans say they don't like to see him start a game against them. We got players coming back, Cleverley and Young. our defenders are back fabio and rafael as cover i see jones out for maybe 2 weeks. But everything looks good for the rest of the season. Gotta give credit to valencia he been outstanding last 10 games. And evra played well today and showed many doubters even me he still can do it.

SSP

Hernandez just isnt able to hold up the ball in the same way Welbeck is. Don't get me wrong he's a fantastic striker and finisher but against the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and City, Welbeck is the man to play

Possible good news, Jones may just have a twisted ankle.

22 Jan 2012 16:54:57
Hopefully Jones won't be out for too long, looks very similar to Hernadez' earlier on in the season and he was back within 3 weeks

Tbh i'm not very impressed Fergie has opted for Giggs CM, should have gone Rafa at RB Smalling Evans CB and pushed Jones into CM with Carrick where he flourished before he got injured

As much as a legend that Giggs is I'm getting a little annoyed with his below par performances this season. Pogba not even on the bench annoys me even more, I can't understand it.... HERBIE

Furthermore Jones injured due being ran by walcott. Rafa should have started and jones cm.
Ajp

I'm thinking maybe Fergie has doubts with starting Rafa because a majority of the games he starts he goes off injured. Great player if he could just stay injury free.... HERBIE

Yeah that terrible Giggs who has been our best player in the first half and directly assisted our goal!.......stop being douchbag fans

Giggs has been poor most of the season, he has the odd moment of brilliance but thats not enough.... HERBIE

Herbie if it hadn't been for Giggs's "odd bit of brilliance" we'd be about 4th in the table rather than 2nd, he might not always run the game but when he makes a contribution its often the differance at the end of the game.

Andy B

I hate to say it, but it's about time he moved on... He's a legend, but not only is he poor at the moment, he's also blocking youngsters coming through.

Percy

Definitely can't be hating on giggs! He hasn't been poor this season at all. He's inspirational for the younger players while he's on the pitch. What's with simple minded fans that think if a player doesn't score or completely dominate when they play that they're 'below par'?! Stupid. I'm glad he played today, he's played so many matches against arsenal and always knows it's a challenge so he's always got the right mindset for it. Rather than maybe some of the younger/inexperienced players underestimating them because they haven't been great this season.. THINK.

Ozwald

Well said Ozwald! Some people are just determined to rip into our own players rather than getting behind them and supporting the team and manager. I don't know what pleasure these people get out of following the club because they just seem to constantly slate the manager or Giggs, Evans, Carrick, Evra or Rooney even if we win!

Andy B

Giggs has been my favourite player for as long as I can remember, and even I get extremely frustrated watching him play, and watching united play in general. It's not about slating united players, its about being realist.

His play is pedestrian, other than the old glimpses of magic, on numerous occasions this season he has been wasteful in possession, and less than concerned with winning it back. The real problem though, is that there isn't anyone to put there.

He isn't the player he was, he certainly shouldn't be playing 90 mins, in the center of the park, but not a chance he should be got shot of..

Have a feeling Pogba may make the bench.

Sydney!

Would have been good to have seen that syd... but all the pensioners are in......

arsenal play chamberlain and pogba does not even make the bench....

when he looks at other youngsters getting opportunities elsewhere no wonder he is reluctant to sign...

oxred

Good luck to Pogba if he leaves, Id do the same in his position.He'd actually make the bench at a different team - but enough of that, let's have 3 pts today!

1-3 United, goals from Rooney, Welbeck and Hernandez off bench.

RED_SKY

I agree wilshire proved he could handle the prem at 18 all be it out on loan pogba bound to be scratching his head and eager to play and prove his worth elsewhere

Wow wow wow syd was wrong now that doesn't happen everyday no sorry it does to us mere mortals I wonder if he is ok not being right the only reason I bring it up is cause you can be a right smug giy every post that you don't agree wit cause of your insider info an friends an the training ground could tell you s&t maybe now you can come down off the high horse come on there is loads Of room
