Doesn't really matter we have so much quality in the middle now with a good balance.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - 68' 99' 08' European Champions!!!!!!!!

Could be another Forlan - I remember a similar highlight video doing the rounds when we signed him. He does remind me of a (slightly shorter) RVN though.

Some of those passes / crosses / through balls by the RCM & RM were top drawer though. :TU:
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - 68' 99' 08' European Champions!!!!!!!!

I'm looking forward to this season regardless of who comes or goes (although Quieroz would be a huge loss)

But in your opinions during our most successful period which decade have you lot enjoyed the most, 90's or 00's

Okay we've won everything there is to be won in both, but interms of playing style, teams, players, paticular games..

what stands out..

My 90's team would be

------GK The Dane-----

RB Parker CB Bruce CB Pally LB Irwin

RMF Beckham CMF Robson CMF Ince LMF Sharpe

------ CF Cantona CF Hughes ------

Subs Kanchelskis, Cole & Yorke

00's Team

--------- GK VDS -------

RB Neville CB Rio CB Vidic LB Evra

RMF Ronaldo CMF Scholes CMF Keane LMF Giggs

------- CF Ruud CF Rooney -----

Subs Stam, Ole, Veron

That player seems like a good finisher, personally i would prefer a all round forward. i dunno why Eto'o hasnt been mentionend it seemed to be a no choice but for me he has everything, height, pace, finishing and it seems Barca are happy to sell at 15M-20M.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - 68' 99' 08' European Champions!!!!!!!!

I'm surprised you kept Veron on the bench, Vann. I cant really remember him doing much in the red shirt. Carrick has already done more for me in 2 seasons than Veron did.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - 68' 99' 08' European Champions!!!!!!!!

Veron wasnt good but he wasn't bad either and that wasnt good enough when you spend 30M.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - 68' 99' 08' European Champions!!!!!!!!

In the champs league veron was breathtaking at times.

we should have won it that year leverkusen done us in the semi!! awesome side, smashed juve 3-0 in their own backyard.

seba in the champo was everything.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - 68' 99' 08' European Champions!!!!!!!!

Veron was a really good player but he wasn't happy in England. He said so himself and that does play a major role in success or failure.

well he helped us win a title..

but in terms of technique and ability, I've not seen many MF better than Seba.

Maybe its me but certain players have to be seen in the flesh to appreciate how good they are...

Carrick is similar, his passing is top notch, and defo does more defensivley...

With Veron it was just bad timing, and Keano has since admitted that he was too hard on him.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - 68' 99' 08' European Champions!!!!!!!!

Don't know about you lot, but I'd love it if we got Drogba. He such a prescence up front that he can completely occupy the defence and leave so much space for the players behind him.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - 68' 99' 08' European Champions!!!!!!!!

Still think if we had Veron today hed be alot more successful. The system we played then didnt really suit his style of play. He was either shifted to the right, left or just behind the striker.

Yup. He would have been amazing at Carrick's role.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - 68' 99' 08' European Champions!!!!!!!!

I'd rather have John Hartson than Drogba. And totally agree about Veron, everyone says he was shit but it's not true, he was pretty good, and if he was playing now he'd fit in more, especially with Querioz's 'European' influence.

Yeh me Met, Should be great, where you gonna sit? Marukomu are you kidding about Drogba, rather have Hartson as Jumbo said. Veron didn't suit our style of play agreed but then again maybe he just didnt suit the league? he didnt hit of at Chelsea either.

Ordered tickets to Ole's testimonial, anyone else going ? Should be a great moment!

yeah they let me have my usual seat...

not that big a team to play against (although they are decent side)

but the chance to see Ole in the 20 shirt for one last time was too big to miss!!

I just think we need a strong player up front, like Hughes. Someone to really piss defenders off and bully them.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - 68' 99' 08' European Champions!!!!!!!!

We had that in Alan Smith and to be honest it worked quite well especially against Roma in that second leg. Then again both Rooney or Tevez could play that role.
Not going to Ole's testimonial but my brothers trying to get us some tickets for the Juve match.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - 68' 99' 08' European Champions!!!!!!!!

No official news about that solitary signing for us yet.Seems like we are keeping it under wraps while other clubs are making raving news about their transfer targets.Funny how the story about Quieroz wanting to leave us for the Portugal post when he was the one who came out saying that Ronaldo should stay at the club.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - 68' 99' 08' European Champions!!!!!!!!

See what your saying Maruk but we IMO already have two strikers who dont give up on a ball all game so for me if we get a tall, fast, and good finisher id prefer that than someone who's good at holding the play up and smashing defenders around, i like our more flamboyant style for now :)
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - 68' 99' 08' European Champions!!!!!!!!

Yeah, it would affect our style but I think it wouldnt be a bad idea to have a player like that for our Plan B. I dont mean a big name, just someone who's willing to do a job for us.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - 68' 99' 08' European Champions!!!!!!!!

Didnt we sign Manucho for that though, I can see us buying Berba though, i think we'll end up paying up.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - 68' 99' 08' European Champions!!!!!!!!

Think Berbatov would fit right in, with Rooney and Tevez both doing what Ronaldo did last season. I can see United going for a 4-3-3 next season, with Berbatov, Rooney and Tevez all in attack. Would like to see Anderson play off the strikers.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - 68' 99' 08' European Champions!!!!!!!!

Thing is we would lack width which IMO is vital in the league, but that formation could definitely work wonders in Europe.
