Manchester United Thread

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

Welbeck is that rare combination of awkwardness and beauty. One moment he looks like he's going to trip over himself, the next he's brought down a long pass with his toe and impudently flicked a perfect ball to a teammate.

Consistency will come. He's definitely a 'United' type forward. Mobile, strong, brave...will be interesting to see how he turns out. Easy to forget how young he is.

Sucks that he's slightly injury prone though.

Hargreaves to City...

Where the hell did that come from?
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Listen, I was alright with the £1bn dumped into City.

I'm alright with Carlos Tevez doubling his wages by jumping across the town.

I was okay with the big blue banner, especially as it showed how small they can be.

I was fine with Carrick's charitable assist in the FA Cup to Toure, and the over-celebration that came with it.

I'm even getting there with the press all jumping on the City bandwagon, ignoring where funds are from, presumably in exchange for nice lunches and cushy seats in the briefing room.

But stay the hell away from my curly haired love. No athlete should have to suffer what he has in the past 3 years, and to then be swept up into the City squad?

So transparently just another attempt for City to 'one up' United. Leave my Hargo alone.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

This guy is about to hit the jackpot AGAIN!! :LOL:

People will argue about his 'bad luck' with injuries but he's also very lucky in sense that clubs will come in, offer him a hefty salary per week for making a total of like 150 passes during a season! :LOL:

The Canadian-born is a rich rich man despite having spent most of his time on the bench or in the treatment room.

Don't know why City want him. I wouldn't go for him. Not because of the United link, because he's just not worth it. Not unless there's a pay as you play deal which I very much doubt. Knowing City they'll probably give him some ridiculously modest salary!
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Ive got mixed emotions about owen joining city...

If he was fit, why didnt we sign him, no sorry why did we let him go??

Could be a great buy for city who look v.v.good right now and must be faves for the title on current form regardless of our freakish result vs arsenal,

Now if lfc make a serious push for the title (aswell) it would make for a very interesting season indeed,,,
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

It must be fair to say that the youtube workout video worked . We all laughed and now he got 130k a week gig .
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Hahha probably more!! lol

Which vid is this tho? I never saw it.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

probably he will get best deal he could have while playing nothing there just as all those national players who are there for wages... what will happend to Johnson, Millner etc.. Tevez omg.. this can´t last forever.. players need motivation for places, not being happy to get paid after a while.. but whatever..
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

What I find more disturbing is that City are allowed to keep senior players and just loan them out. As with the weekend - Spurs couldn't field Adebayor. Wherever Bellamy goes, he won't play against City.

Loans were designed for youth players, not for City to get around their obscene squad.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

yeah, loan deals are crazy this days.. there should be age limit and it would be better for everyone...

City might sign another 20 players that never play for them... the football world is sick right now...players are not people anymore, they are property..

Funny... We loan out sanchez to Leeds and he played, gave us a hard time too :LOL: MCity could do well it`s cheaper than buying players like Chelsea did. MCity plan A was to defend (park the bus) to all the big Clubs and win all the small and get into CL- Worked! Now, loanee to hurt other clubs and leave them vulnerable versus them...interesting concept .

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

He's a much better player than Barry, when he's not injured of course.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Proberbly just a wind up like mutv in HD or something..

I don't agree. I'd take Gareth.

But it doesn't matter anyway because the fact that Barry has consistently played in over 35 games a season and is rarely injured alone makes him far more useful than Owen.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Ugh, he's actually signed. Just when my loathing of City couldn't get any more, they take my curly-haired love away from me. Would have loved to see him at literally any other club.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Yep. Even them. Though, for similar reasons it would annoy me - I want him to play if he can. He is being bought as cover for cover. What a waste.

That's a premier league rule, nothing to do with us. You weren't complaining years back when Howard was loaned to evertone and Foster was loaned to Watford, meaning you got 12 easy points playing teams without their first choice keepers.

If you're going to make an argument to justify your largesse, at least get it right.

We had sold Howard to Everton by the time we played them that year (in a clutch match). There was confusion around the contract, and he didn't play because of that. But technically we weren't allowed to have anything in there about him not playing us as he was a full Everton player.

Foster was loaned to Watford in the Championship to gain experience - as he'd not had a professional career.

That is the point of a loan. To give players experience.

Perhaps you'd like explain why Santa Cruz, Bellamy, Adebayor etc need loaning out for experience?

Face it, they're only City players because no one else will pay them non-market wages.

So I dreamt that second season where he was their player of the year?

:TTTH:


As for the Howard situation, it was clearly a "Yes Alex, anything you say Alex' situation. But Like I said, it's ok for your lot to do it, but when City abide by premier league rules, we're taking advantage.

I don't understand how you don't get this, foster was 22/23 when we loaned him out to gain experiance, where as city are loaning out proven players like adebayor and santa cruz, who cost it's just a waste, fair enough boyata, weiss, ibrahim etc. are loaned out as there young and upcoming players. 42.5 million of players with just adebayor and santa cruz, difference is we don't spend that kind of money to loan out players just to keep the numbers down. :TTTH:
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Im not bothered about Hargreaves deal at all. City did it for a laugh, Hargreaves gets a good wage. both camps happy.

I doubt he'll get a game all year.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

That's besides the point. Its about principle. Its always frowned upon when someone moves from one club to their rivals, nevermind a local one. But in this case we're talking about someone who played what 30 minutes over 3 years for us? All while getting paid £80k or whatever he was getting. We could have got rid of him a long time ago but stuck by him during his injury and got him back into the shape that he's in today.

Atleast Tevez' move was understandable. Tevez is a world class player and arguably deserved what he was demanding from us.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

you should be happy for Hargreaves

a guy who suffered injuries at your club, let go by the manager to potentially be out of football. to be desperate to show the world he can still do it

city pick him up, regardless if he plays or not he will be training with the best players in the world and feeling like a player again

plus he is getting paid.

good luck to the lad, certainly what he has had after a bad run of it
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

We paid a transfer fee to sign him. He was also paid during his injuries. We treated him and helped him in his recovery. Most clubs probably would've gave up on him a long time ago in our circumstances, especially with the debt over the owners head. But we stuck by him where others probably wouldnt have. So in that sense, we dont owe him anything.
So the least he could have done was not gone to our rivals.

The dumb thing is, not many people see the big deal because "it's Hargreaves" and people believe his arrival isnt going to hurt anyone including us. If this was a top player who could've improved City's squad then a lot more people would be moaning. Which is what I find stupid, cuz I dont see why the quality of the player should matter in an issue of this kind.

Moot point. Your initial beef was that City were loaning players and they couldn't play against us...I simply pointed out that when the shoe was on the other foot, you lot didn't cry bout it like you are doing now.
