Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - 68' 99' 08' European Champions!!!!!!!!

Just got back from watching the news and Calderon said to the press they would never give 100 million for anyone and that the so called "Ronaldo Case" is "finito" because ManU doesn't agree with the transfer idea. So it seems you will get a revolted guy, specially if he gets the World Best Player award..
His life will never be the same in ManU, imo.

Well I want to see how you will cope losing a player who scored 42 goals last season for you, thats a BIG hole to fill...:DD

Thats exactly my point, everyone wants to see how we'll do, I think a striker will fill that void, do remember our attack is build around Ronaldo so that does help but obviously replacing 42 goals is gonna probably be something that everyone will have to chip in with rather than 1 sole player.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - 68' 99' 08' European Champions!!!!!!!!

The thing is, if Ronaldo stays and we win the Champions League again, it'll just be like last season all over again. If we do it without Ronaldo, it'll feel that little bit more special cuz a lot of people have been saying we wouldnt be where we are if it wasnt for Ronaldo. Its that feeling of a new challenge that me and YoungGun are looking forward to.
To be honest with you, I'm not gonna miss his tricks or his freekicks, or his amazing speed, etc. What really impressed me about Ronaldo last season what his timing off the ball and the ability to be in the right place at the right time. Not all of this goals last season were about tricks and skill but more about his awareness and thinking ahead. Just goes to show how much he has matured here.

Great post Rune, pretty much summed it up, also would be sweeter knocking him and Real out on the way ;))

That was what I was thinking, but I worry sometimes what Real can do.

Big teams/favourites will be eliminated each year in the CL.Before we won it,I thought we had the best run in,since 1999.I think the 'Galacticos' Madrid team only won the CL once...Its all about the drive,teamwork and passion with a good bundle of luck to win the CL.And thats that.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - 68' 99' 08' European Champions!!!!!!!!

I may sound a tad over confident but i really reckon were a lot better side than Real, Ronaldo would bridge the gap but even then i think were a better side.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - 68' 99' 08' European Champions!!!!!!!!

I think they have better individuals but yeah, we're probably the better side.

I think apart from Sergio Ramos vs. Nev we have better defenders, not sure on the goalkeeper though Casillas is awesome. VDS is a true great.

Midfield wise (at least with Ronaldo) I think we're better, but they do have better strikers than us for pure goals.

They've won it more times than that. 2000 and 2002.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - 68' 99' 08' European Champions!!!!!!!!

The 2000 win wasn't under Perez though.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - 68' 99' 08' European Champions!!!!!!!!

Watched a game of United today and realised, our play wont change AT ALL if Ronaldo leaves, he isnt even hardly involved in our build up play BUT what he does is create so much space due to him roaming around and carrying defenders with him, the other thing is he's used as a break away when were under the cosh and obviously making his late runs and great awaraness. So basically what we need is a player with Pace, good movement and a eye for goal. obviously sounds easy to say we'll get a player like that but i wouldnt say its impossible to find someone like that either.

Really? I think your whole play is revolved around Ronaldo. The Tevez-Rooney partnership only worked as well because of Ronaldo IMO. They're both players who like to play in the hole, and they would drop back to get the ball, drag out defenders, which would leave space for Ronaldo to move through and cut in from the right (hence why he can hardly be called a winger). Easy to say if you can replace him, but it's going to be hard find a physical monster like Ronaldo for the role. I could probably see David Villa performing that sort of role though, but I don't think there are that many.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - 68' 99' 08' European Champions!!!!!!!!

Personally, I don't think Villa could play the same role to be honest. I definitely think he could fit in with Rooney & Tevez in a forward 3, just not playing the same role as Cristiano.

His second goal against Russia and the one against Sweden for example are just the type of chances Rooney always misses but him and Tevez are quite capable of playing the passes for that type of goal that Villa can finish off. I don't think Fergie could go far wrong making an enquiry. Maybe he already has, Valencia said they've had a few offers from teams not being reported in the press.

Exactly, mentionend this a while back Villa with Tevez uptop with Rooney given more of Ronaldo's free role.

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - 68' 99' 08' European Champions!!!!!!!!

Anyone watch last nights game on BBC should have heard that the russian number 18 Zhirkov claimed that he's signed for us, dunno how true it could be but he seems like a good player from what i saw yesterday, he's apparantly a left sided winger and also can play as a full back. also nicknamed the "Russian Ronaldinho" :LOL:
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - 68' 99' 08' European Champions!!!!!!!!

To replace the other 'Jerk off' that's going to Madrid? :D
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - 68' 99' 08' European Champions!!!!!!!!

Naa i doubt it, I think Maybe SAF doesnt think Nani is the right replacement for Giggs, this guy seems more like a traditional winger, Probably a big money move to replace who know who :)
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - 68' 99' 08' European Champions!!!!!!!!

From a guy who posted at teamtalk's rumour room.

"Yuri Zhirkov has agreed personal terms with united.Just a fee to be agreed.Also united are going to bid for Berbatov.But if a deal cant be agreed they will switch attention to Pavluchenko.Also Saha to stay and Manucho to go on loan in europe till jan.While his permit gets sorted.The truth."

Quotes from Guus Hiddink himself.
"'I know what I will get from Zhirkov and he will never let me down.'"

Would be nice to have another Russian winger at united after Andrei. :)

I'd love to get Pavlyuchenko -- another great young talent who will surely shine under Sir Alex's tutelage.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - 68' 99' 08' European Champions!!!!!!!!

I could be completely wrong here but I think Ronaldo is going to stay. No matter what he says I dont think United are going to budge on whatever Madrid have to offer. Hes simply the best player in the world you cant replace that no matter what the money is, we've seen it before with Beckham, Stam, Ruud but this time its a little bit different because Ronaldo is that good for United

Metallica mate i think you missed the point, I've also had that feeling for a week but id rather not comment on him as i dont think anyone has on him recently in our thread, just let the new season start and see what happens and look to see who we could get to replace him;))
