Smith does not score enough, Saha is just a injury prone watse of money s o we need a striker. Rossi is to inexperienced i think.

lol Smith is never given a chance to score enough especially only getting to come on for last 10minutes to run down the clock in midfield. Saha i agree with you on that point aswell as rossi looks too small and inexperienced. What i dont understand is why are United inactive in the transfer market?
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Owen wants move!

I watched the game and these are my thoughts.

Van Nistelrooy looked very sharp! Great to see him back on form.

Rooney was great as always.

Park is good however he does not seem to show the type of lethal finishing that

Rooney and Van Nistelrooy have, but then again he is not a striker.

Scholes had a great game as usual.

Where is Rossi and how come he does not play at senior level yet?

The only one player on the pitch that looked a bit shaky was Fletcher, but then again i have never rated him highly.

The same goes for Silvestre.

Gary Neville was quite impressive also!

Ferdinand was blasting runs up into the attacking half of the field and helped to start some great moves!

Overall a good game which you can take positives from there were worries of the bad finishing last season however, i must say Sorensen was excellent!

What a shot from Scholes too! Just curved away!

Highlights are in the Football Highlights thread..!

Rooney 8
Van Nistelrooy 9
Fletcher 6
Scholes 7
Keane 7
Park 7
Ferdinand 8
Silvestre 6
Neville 7
O Shea 7
Van Der Sar 7
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Owen wants move!

Fletcher actually got man of the match so he must be doing something right to be in the starting line up 3 games in a row now.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Owen wants move!

Yeah hes Scotish how do you think Chocy still has a job!:) Thought it was quite a good performance from you lot yesterday, Ruud looked hungry but his touch and hold up play wasnt the best, Park was excellent! MOM imo!
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Owen wants move!

We are currently still interested in buying Cicinho it seems.What I didnt understand was,if we were so interested,why didnt we get him before Liverpool showed interest in him? In the article,its good to know what the player had actually met and spoke with the gaffer.With Cicinho and Ronaldo on the right side,we could actually turn defence into attack literally in a matter of seconds.Read the news about Robben lately? He isnt quite happy to play the bit part,rotational role at Chelski,that poor lad,he should have come to us..hahaha.

REDS RIVAL UNITED FOR CICINHO.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Owen wants move!

hahahaha, Robben is gonna get a beating by Mourinho soon..lolz, just like Carvalho!!

hm..cicinho? he would be a GREAT addition, but will we get him?? we are quite inactive so far...especially after selling 2 players, we should be getting at least one back...well, out of the 3 on the list. As for Fletcher....HAHAHAHAHA, sorry, really really can't see him doing well...he did some things really nicely but most of the time...sorry...hahahaha,
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Owen wants move!

only 10 more days of transfer window...

No news from the United camp. Although I read that Ballack has been given 6 weeks to sort his life out by Bayern. I think he's a lost cause, but still can hope. Our first XI is still great, after the Arsenal Chelsea match, I'd argue the best first XI in the prem. But, we have no depth in certain key areas. I guess Rooney can play at the apex of the top 3 if Ruud is hurt, or behind them if Scholes gets hurt, but what happens when Rooney gets hurt?
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Owen wants move!

smart saying....i do think as well that if Ruud is hurt, we can still play a 4-3-3 with the front 3 being Park (giggs?) Rooney, and then C.Ron

but then when Rooney gets hurt...Smith?? lolz, i have way more confidence in Smith than in Saha or Rossi...as for Solskjear...come on Ole...get fit!! we need you!!!!
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Owen wants move!

sorry, a little off topic, but i was wondering, anyone know how FC United have been doing?? i can't find any info on them!!! any pics or ANYTHING on them???
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - So Obi is coming to OT??

Either this kid is confused or he's being mis-represented:

Latest twist in the Mikel saga - he's joining us?
Monday, August 22, 2005

"It was nice when I went to United, everybody welcomed me and I stayed there for over two months, the manager was very nice to me. After that I went back to Nigeria and then I went to Chelsea and stayed there for almost a year and things did not work out and I had to go to Manchester United again. Well, Man U officials have been visiting me secretly in Oslo and nobody knew about it, they kept asking me if I was still interested in Chelsea and, kept pressurising me and won my heart over Chelsea, and then everything happened so fast after that. Everything went that way due to the fact that Chelsea officials didn’t come on time for the deal. Yeah, that’s the way it went, many agents are in touch with me and there is no one that has a complete hold of me, that’s why it happened that way. But I am happy the way the transfer was handled, despite the fact that Chelsea will be hurt. Chelsea is also a big club with big money and any player would love to play for them, and they just won the Premiership, which is any player’s dream but all the same, I am happy with my deal with Manchester United. I was told to wait and play with Lyn, instead of moving immediately and training without a game, the rest of the season in Norway will help me get more experience and maturity, while watching Manchester United games. That’s why Man U officials told me to remain at Lyn Oslo, that is no problem, I am happy that I have to be here for this season and may be by December I will move and start playing for Manchester in January.” To play with such world stars like that, I am very happy to be with them and it’s going to be fine. I hope to learn from them"

So by the sounds of it the lad is gonna be at United in Jan, he'll be a much needed addition to the midfield, apparently the lad is the real deal and won his permit under the "outstanding talent" rule...

Decent performance on Saturday but I was happy to have the three points regardless, saying that their keeper kept them in it or it could have been a silly score, Ruud has found his scoring boots and Rooney and Ronaldo keep getting better..

All we need is too qualify for the CL and it'll be a good start to the season...
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - So Obi is coming to OT??

Vann - I feel like those comments were made right when he signed, before all the controversy. I know the date of the article, but I've read those things before. I still think the juries out. Anyone who follows Lyn, is he back?

Your right, they we're printed in a Nigerian paper yesterday so I thought they we're new...

He's not back at Lynn, yet they have complained to FIFA...
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - So Obi is coming to OT??

If what was said by Obi Mikel is true...its good for us,otherwise I'd think that he said all those rosy words just because Chelsea has got Essien! But why does he has to wait till January?
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - So Obi is coming to OT??

To clear it up, nothing new on whether or not he's actually coming to United. Those comments were made before the big Chelsea v United thing, not recently. He's been ordered by FIFA to go back to Lyn, since our deal with him didn't see him move until January. So in theory he has to play for Lyn til then, after which time he'll come to United. But at this point, who knows really.
I'm wondering if he's even back at Lyn, or hiding somewhere, sucking his thumb, whining about his gold tipped bottle and wiping back his tears with a chelsea scarf...
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - So Obi is coming to OT??

hahaha, so, what are the views for the game tomorrow??? will Giggs play???? lolz, or will SAF go easy and since we have like a 3-0 edge already, put on young guns?
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - So Obi is coming to OT??

taken from skysports:

Real Madrid have stolen a march on Manchester United by agreeing an option to sign Sao Paulo defender Cicinho.

United thought they were leading the chase for the highly-rated right back after Sir Alex Ferguson spoke with the South American during the player's recent trip to Europe.

However, Real are now firmly in pole position after brokering a deal with Sao Paulo.

It has been reported that the agreement allows Real to sign the 25-year-old in the future, even though they appear well covered in that position with Michel Salgado and Carlos Diogo competing for the role.

A five-year deal has been agreed for Cicinho and he will become a Real player as soon as the Spanish giants decide to complete the transfer.

The Brazilian is obtaining an Italian passport which will smooth his passage to Europe.

Baptista, Robinho and Cincinho along with Carlos and Ronaldo already!!! lolz....if they all make the starting line-up, that's 5 out of 11 brasilian members!! hahahaha, well, they will have lots of co-operation and team work for sure!! lolz...

as for the game tonite...GO MAN UTD!!! i'm hoping of a great game and huge win against them!!! hahahaha, i'm waking up in the midnight to watch, so hope it won't be disappointing!!

well they do have an brazilian coach remember. But i agree i hate when teams steal players like real and chelsea.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - So Obi is coming to OT??

man...they just have money and they just STEAL!!! argh....what happened to the years when Man Utd and Arsenal were big teams and get the players that they want...(for the proper price that they are worth)....

now, players just get inflated to prices that don't even match their worth!!!
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - So Obi is coming to OT??

Madrid havnt signed him yet! They have just got first option! Im sure they bought a new young right back earlier in he summer!.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - So Obi is coming to OT??

Hes bound to choose real instead of united, hed rather work under a brazilian coach with fellow brazil players. It just pisses me off when a club gets interested in good player and makes press, chelsea or real have to butt in.lol You just have to look at what happened with Baptista.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - So Obi is coming to OT??

Wanderley Luxombogo (or however the fuck you spell his name) used to be the coach at Sao Paolo.

I'm sure he was the coach of Santos. Which is one of the reasons why they got Robinho. I'm not 100% sure though.

And I'm not sure if any of you know this but Sao Paolo is supposed to be one of Man Utd's feeder clubs. But then again, if that had mattered, we would have had Kaka in our midfield.

PS. I'M BACK! YAY!
