Manchester United Thread

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Rio to Barca??

I'm not really a big fan of Downing. I know he's supposed to be good but I still dont see him as a player for Man Utd. We need someone REALLY good.

What worries me is that Chelsea are already a really tough team to beat yet they're still considering signing big names like Adriano.

Unless we go out and take all the good players like Essien and Vicente, we're not gonna win anything. We need players as good as Rooney and Ronaldo but in every position.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Rio to Barca??

A bit off-topic: The first thing I do when playing as Manchester United in Football Manager '05 is buy Delgado and Downing. :p
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Rio to Barca??

I buy Vicente and Diego of Porto.

The problem is that I don't think we should 'settle' for Figo. Fergie should be going for THE best wingers in the world. We missed out on both Duff and Robben, we should either get Vincente or Downing, depending on our tranfer budget.
What I really want though is for fergie to surprise with new talent, like he's done with Ronnie and how Wenger has with Cesc. Although it is unreasonable for me to expect that.

have you ever heard of rossi?
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Ruud to stay??

Rossi is gonna kick so much ass!
Cant wait for his real debut.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Ruud to stay??

I think you guys really have to regret selling Beckham. True, he wasn't able to skip past defenders (he was never comparable to Rivaldo, Figo in their days) but he provided the crucial deadly accurate crosses for RVN. Nistelrooy never really recovered since then.

You probably would have won the league at least once since then and Ruud would have scored a lot more goals and there wouldn't be all this talk of him leaving (allegedly) - and they'll definitely not be any talk of Nike thinking of pulling out of the record sponsorship deal. I really hope, as a fan of football, that Glazier doesn't ruin your team as it's always sad to see a team to go no matter if they are scum ;)

Ironically though, it was arguably the arrival of Beckham that catalysed the demise of RM......(!)

Moral of the story. Don't fix something if it ain't broken!

Thats what I've always said about Beckham. I really hope Glazer would insist on buying him.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Ruud to stay??

I would love it if we could get Beckham back but would he play under Fergie?
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Ruud to stay??

What do you people think of Pedro Mendes? He has been linked to Man Utd, (and porto, but that's almost impossible).

BTW, i think ruud will stay... watch out for him next season... with proper rest now n possibly a few new players around big ruud, he'll be banging in the gols like good ole times... don't put him down so fast. he just came back from injuries...

No excuse for the body language tho!

And the demise of RM was sacking del Bosque.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Ruud to stay??

I hope we really get Park Ji Sung.Hes a lightning fast workaholic and could be a useful addition to the squad.He'll provide cover for both flanks,with him around,we should have 2 wingers for each wing,provided Kieran returns to us,next season.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Ruud to stay??

I hope we're not just buying him to break into the Asian market. We are going on an Asian tour in a months time, remember?

I'm a bit sad to hear that Essien wants to join Chelsea. I think this whole Glazer thing is slowing down our negotiations which is pissing me off. We're going into next season knowing it could probably be the last for a lot of players if things go wrong. But we still arent looking like we'll actually sign anyone.
If Glazer doesnt fix things up, I'm get a bunch of lads and organising an assassination.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Ruud to stay??

Yeah,breaking news.Not the keeper everyone expected but I'm pretty sure he still can do a superb job as our new number 1.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Ruud to stay??

I said back in January we should have signed him and im glad now we have.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Ruud to stay??

Van Der Sar should be great for us. Rarely do we let in goals because of poor defending cuz its usually down to bad goalkeeping. Van Der Sar has been a great professional for many years and I'm sure he wont let us down.

So thats the GK problem solved for atleast 2 more years. Now lets talk about the midfield. Park Ji Sung looks very likely so thats another player we could expect to see. But it looks as if we've lost Essien. If we try one more time for him, we probably wont need another signing.

Van Der Sar, Park Ji Sung and Essien is all we need really considering the great players we already have.
As long as Sir Alex picks the right teams on his games, we wont have much of a problem. I feel we just need to really go gung ho against our opposition like how Arsenal do it but with Silvestre at LB and Heinze at CB.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Ruud to stay??

Would have liked Given, but more than happy with this signing, quality keeper who has played at the highest level.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Ruud to stay??

Perfect signing as hes a top class keeper with experience.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Ruud to stay??

Hopefully, he'll be on the Asian tour so we could get an early preview of his performances under Sir Alex.

If theres anything worth seeing, I'll make videos and post them here cuz ALL Man Utd friendlies are shown LIVE on MUTV.

Rooney will win you the World Cup
Gerard Houllier is heading home to France - but the man who once helped his country to World Cup success is convinced Wayne Rooney will lead England to football's ultimate prize next summer. Former Liverpool manager Houllier, unveiled as the new coach of Ligue One champions Lyon during the week, believes Manchester United striker Rooney has the talent to become the English version of Pele, Maradona, Zidane and Ronaldo at Germany 2006. And he said: "I think next summer in Germany will present England with their best chance of winning the World Cup since they last did it in 1966. This time, England have a player who can strike fear into teams in the way that Ronaldinho and Ronaldo do for Brazil. His name is Wayne Rooney - and I think next summer's finals could be remembered as Rooney's World Cup. This boy is very, very special. He is one of those rare talents capable of rising above even world-class players."
Simon Mullock, Sunday Mirror

Anyone think Rooney can win England the World Cup?
We saw what he did at Euro 2004.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Ruud to stay??

finally a proper golkeeper!!! we have been chasing Edwin since his JUVE days, now we finally get him. All we need now is 2 more worldclass midfielders n maybe just 1 more striker... everything will be all fine...
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Ruud to stay??

A squad is composed of 23 players. It's not gonna be one player that will win it! It's gonna be all.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Ruud to stay??

Thats obviously true but every team has one very important player that can win them a competition like Maradona for Argentina.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Ruud to stay??

Van der Sar, good signing for Man Utd.
