Manchester United Thread

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

try to bend your mind around this one alright?: tim howard didnt have the pressure in his first campaign, why should he? he was just an ordinary american golkeeper (like all MLS golkeepers) living out the most extra-ordinary life a golkeeper could dream of: playing football at the highest level club-wise (and i dont mean manchester united, i mean CL, premier league, WC etc). he was told to just be himself in the first season and that's why he seemed to be a good fit. united had ferdy playing well and howard was just being himself (as i said earlier).

but in the start of his second season, the line of defense in front of him became drastically weaker, to a point where a 19 year old fellow american had to be called on for several nights to clear the balls ahead of howard. the pressure also grew because golkeepers tend to need a year to fit in, and now that that year has expired, he has got this new sense of pressure piled on him.

thats just my take ;)

Brown snubs United deal
Alex Ferguson has told Wes Brown he can leave Manchester United on a free transfer. The shock news comes after defender Brown refused to sign a new deal with the club. Brown is the lowest-paid first-team player at Old Trafford on £20,000 a week. But United’s new contract offer over four years was barely an improvement on those terms. Brown was furious and turned it down flat. Now boss Ferguson is ready to let the England international go when his current agreement runs out on June 30. Fergie said: "It is his decision. No more talks are scheduled. I would like to avoid the situation of him leaving on a free but if he wants to try elsewhere that’s up to him. But if he wants to stay and enjoy what he’s had for the last few years, that’s fine."
Neil Custis, The Sun

This is sad,Wesley Brown is one of my favourite player at United.I hope he stays cause he is a proven quality player.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Apparently Carroll has also snubbed a contract offer. Crap...just what we need. :(
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

i have seen the article on brown, is it confirmed that carroll has followed suit too? i dont know about the rest of you, but ive never valued wes brown as much of a fullback anyway. we have a good cycle of them in ferdy, silvestre and oshea.

but carroll is a very capable golkeeper, ready to pounce into action like he has now. he would be sorely missed

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Brown isn't happy at £20,000 a week? Does he deserve more than that? I really don't think there are many teams that are willing to pay him higher than that for his service.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Sorry but we need Brown fit and with a contract, IMO I think he is one of the best natural defenders in the country, sometimes not vocal enough but the performances against the Arse last season show us what we could stand to lose. O'shea lacks the concentration to be an acomplished CB and he's struggling abit at the mo IMO. This would be a major blow to lose Brown lets hope the fans let Fergie know this!
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

yeah i wouldnt like to lose Brown
when he is fit he is a very reliable defender and provides great backup as he can play well at either cb or at right back
same with carroll, he is a decent keeper
be a shame if we lose them but thats the way it goes

i completely agree with that and if im not wrong you had the highest post war average attendance before the prem even started but you cant deny that without your dominance of the 90's and your marketing team a lot of your 'fans' would be no where to be seen. you probably have atleast as many die hard fans as any other premiership club (probably more) but also due to your succes you have a ridicolous amount of glory hunters without the same sort of attachment to the club as yourself. perhaps it depends on where you live but im sure you must notice all these arsenal and chelsea fans coming out of the woodwork now there starting to have a bit of success.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Thanx stifler, I forgot to mention how highly I rate Carrol. Lets be honest I cannot think of a time he has let us down and the worst goal he has conceded was againt Lyon? The Chyrou goal, I would like to see him given a 5 - 10 game chance! But also is anyone noting the heroics Steele is performing at the Cov? I really hope this young English talent is given his chance, whenever I have seen him he has shown real quality! unfortunately we never seem to give the young promising English keepers a chance! I saw Williams(Really rated) and Jowersy(too short) both perform well against Sunderland last season, and where are they now!

Lets hope McShane makes it, anyone with MUTV must know that he has a REAL quality about him! He is the best CB prospect we have had since Brown!
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

i like brown and i seriously hope he stay. the only decent backup for cb and g.neville.

You say that after one crap performance against one of our bogey teams, Boro (though we have been poor this season) after hammering Fenerbache, beating Liverpool, and beating Spurs?

Let me ask you a question: What other manager do YOU think would lead us to "glory"? :roll:

Oh shut up! Pathetic post, not a pathetic team - sitting 4th (in the most competitive Premiership yet in my opinion), top of our Champions League group, and have signed some exciting new players over the last few seasons. We`ve had better times, but we`ve also had much harder - also, Fergie is and has been the man for United past and present.

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Anyone got one reason to play John O'Shea in the midfield? Keane plays DMF, and O'shea did absolutely nothing in attack whatsoever. To levae him on for that long is basically just wasting 1 of the 11, i dunno what SAF was trying to prove. Also wonder about Rooney, first time I'd seen him, looks like he should only be playing for about 70 mins. After that he didn't run with ronaldo's runs down the wing, nor play through the middle, just looked tired really. Good boro goal though, awful defending by Neville (who had the worst game i've seen him play in a while) and at least a point, it wasn't looking all that hopeful.

What's that now, 9 points away? Some of the united players other than Ronaldo need to pretend they care.

Fergie is playing with 2 holding players in midfield for some reason, Keane and O`Shea, probably as Keane is not the player he used to be.

How can you judge him on 2 matches? He was sublime on Tuesday, and played some nice football in the supporting role today. Its jealous assholes like you that make me laugh. I love to see a brilliance from all players around the world - people like you are just obviously hurting because you take time out to (1)Check teletext for Rooney`s performances (2)Come into this thread posting crap about the player, like you did. We had all the "Ronaldo is crap etc" rubbish last season, I love it, keep it up, sucker. :mrgreen: with envy, by any chance? Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha :lol:
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

kev, what satisfaction do you get from posting stuff like that?

anyhow, i dont want to see anything about how crap roon is in here, we (man utd supporters) have been through enough of that shit about c ronaldo, so quit it

your just jealous cause he's younger and earning more dough than you. eat that noich noich shit.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Apart from the goal and the bad miss we were all over them and played some good stuff. A great deal of credit has to go to Boro's defending though (especially from their youngsters). Rooney had a decent game (despite being marked by two players everytime he got the ball). You can't expect him to score hattricks every week.

When we had Ruud, Giggs, Ronaldo, Rooney and Smith going at Boro's goal, we were creating a chance every few minutes.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Pretty much what I expected yesterday, I was suprised he played Rooney after Wednesday, Smith would have been a better bet to start.

It reminded me of last season, Ronaldo had a great 1st game against Bolton then had a mare against Wolves.

I dont know WTF Sheasy was doing in midfield, he looked out of place, why Fergie let Butt go to let Sheasy play there is a mystery...

So I was disapointed but happy to get a point after being 1-0 down for most of the game, Boro played well had enough to win the game IMO, Southgate played really well.

We made a few decent chances and hit the bar but it was one of those days when we looked off the pace, hence it being a good point in the end.
