Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

To be honest even if Berba had lit the Prem up whilst he's been with us I'd probably take 20 million for him right now.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

When we bought Berba...the backroom staff didnt quite agree because he didnt have a resale value because of his age.To be honest I would grab the chance to sell him at 18-20mill pounds if the oppurtunity is there.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Welbeck looks a special talent, I do wonder how he develops over the coming season.

I don't think he's in Fergie's plans. Welbeck has looked genuinely class throughout preseason and for parts of last year. We've got Rooney, Hernandez and Owen as well.

I think Fergie is moving away from 442 into a 4231 or 4411, and Berba just doesn't fit in.

Personally gutted cause I love the Bulgarian, but can't deny that would be great business (£20m for a 30 year old with 1 year on contract?!)

I hoped he was gonna stay, defo 15-20 goals a season player, not to be sniffed at.

but we aint gonna turn that type of money down, technically he's got two years left as the club have a clause to extend a year if they want, so really the club have him for two years.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Carrick missing the CS. I hope in a way this turns into a bit of a wake up call to Fergie to strengthen the department, even if it means City bossing the midfield a bit
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Were trying for Sneijder so its not we don't have a target.

Cleverley and Anderson will play, the same midfield which played Barcelona I guess.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Mixed reactions after watching highlights of Scholesy's testimonial.
He will be sorely missed but its another door open for our promising youngsters.
One in particular is Paul Pogba who looked the part.He is as tall as Chris Smalling and the latter's height is anything but normal.
Scholes is staying with the club as a coach amd that is a huge plus for the kids.
Thank You Paul Scholes for your fantastic service with the club since 94.Respect.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Pogba's a talent but its definitely a season to soon for him at the least.

Cleverley and Anderson in midfield looked interesting against Barcelona (Only a Friendly I know!) so I would like to see how that pairing does in a a couple of competitive games.

If anything I do think Scholes performance showed the level he is still at on his day and we should be trying to push through a deal for a player.

Suprised we've got rid of Obertan, thought it would be a loan but I guess not. we've got 4 top options outwide so it kinda makes sense.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Yeah, I'd be really surprised if we sold Gabby outright. we should do the new (ridiculous) Barca method of sales: sell him but with an option to buy him back for peanuts if we want to :)

*tear* the last ever Paul Scholes screamer. What a legend.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

fantastic goal by Scholes..he could still play..but i imagine him wanting to rest if he knows he can´t give 110% anymore..

but yes, he will be important for United as coach..and imo he has all the personal walues for making a great coach...

maybe even of the first team in future.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

yep bad day for him, but this happens, he´s just a new kid in town.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

haha, what dedication from Nani until the final whistle!

I do have to comment on Anderson...always liked the kid, but I thought he did well this game, better than Carrick, and he just needs to improve his passing...it gets intercepted a little too easily.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Wow, glad I got up to watch the second half, that was awesome!

So glad we won - if only because City were so poor. That much money and their tactic appears to be to use an uber-defensive formation and score of set plays. They're like a 10x spending Stoke.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

it´s just comunity shield, but this could mean much more for both the teams..
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Cleverley was particularly impressive! :CONFUSE:
Smalling's overlapping runs were spot on too.
De Gea could use a bit of adaptation time of course, no pressure on the kid. :)
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Yes, cannot believe how good the second half lineup looked:

-----------De gea------------
-Smalling-Jones--Evans-Rafa--
--------Ando---Cleverly------
-----------Rooney------------
---Nani-------------Young----
-----------Welbeck-----------

I could be wrong, but isn't Rooney the oldest player there, at 25?

On hindsight, perhaps the most important thing about us not losing was that hopefully De Gea's slight lapse will be forgiven. Some of our 'fans' are so fickle it hurts.

Young is 26 but still a fascinating young line-up... and it was interesting to see Rafael wearing the captain's armband after Evra left. :D

Hahah I love how Rafael KEPT the captain's armband instead of giving it to Rooney or someone lol.

That 2nd goal was super $exy!! Breathtaking!

Welbeck reminds me of a young Thierry Henry and Cleverly IS Paul Scholes' replacement.
