Manchester United Thread

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Good lord...

If we didn't have Fergie I'd be worried. But have full faith in the old master. He'll get us through this summer.

I keep waking up hoping for a day like two summers ago when Nani, Ando and Hargreaves were just announced together. Out of nowhere.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Were obviously waiting for Ronaldo to be officially be a Real Madrid player. I think 1st of July will be when things kick off.

Good point. Imagine if we had spent all the money and then Ronaldo turned around and rejected the Madrid contract.
(Well actually that'd be awesome with all the extra players plus Ronaldo.:P)

That avatar wont change until someone fills his void.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

...cuz he's too good and i gave me too many emotions for the Champions League final! :P


Please, cardboard fans, don't come to us. Follow Ronaldo's trail :) Theeere you go. Lookie - Beckham's there too. Atta CBFan!
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

So it looks like Benzema wants to stay at Lyon for atleast another year before moving. I think we already know how this is gonna go. He'll string us along for a year and then f*ck off to Madrid. Either that or he'll have a bad season and a bad World Cup and then come to us and say "You guys still want me, right?"
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Well I'd hope we get some form of deal in place, whereby he stays at Lyon this year cause he wants to, then comes to us after the WC.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

You mean like the Ronaldo to Madrid deal? :P
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Hahahaha..thats a catchy tune..maybe the Stretford End faithful can come up with new lines if our Mercedes Benz-ema decides to play for us?
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

7.11 Perhaps the biggest transfer tabloid story of the morning sees the Daily Star claiming Manchester United are ready to make a £45million bid for Atletico Madrid's Argentine striker Sergio Aguero as Sir Alex Ferguson looks to improve his attacking options.

That'd be quality for Utd, can see that happening as well.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Kun is quality, but I'd be surprised.

I really think Fergie is going to try and do this with what he has and some relative unknowns. Just to show how pimp he is ;)
Plus if it doesn't work out, he just sold the best player in the world at a ridiculous profit, and no one wins the league 4 times in a row. Bit of a win win.

I'm beginning to get more optimistic that Tosic will be good enough to at least contribute this season. He's not a world beater, but plays intelligently and skillfully, in a Serbia side that is pretty woeful (at the U21s). Will be very keen to watch him in preseason.

And it goes without saying that Nani is another one to keep an eye on. Not sure if I can back it up with stats, but saw on another forum that in their first two seasons at United, Nani and Ronaldo amassed almost exactly the same number of goals+assists, despite the fact that Nani played almost half as frequently. Imo Nani definitely deserves a shot at playing as our starting winger. Lord knows he'll contribute more of a threat than park...
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

You do kinda feel that Sir Alex didnt give Nani the attention Ronaldo got. Maybe things will change for the better now.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Kun is insanely talented, but would he work well with the guy we need to get the best out of, Rooney?
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

It's stupid to even think Nani will ever be as good as Ronaldo.

Nani for me, has the potential to be a very good, maybe like Simao (though I doubt it). He's very average ATM.

Benzema should be the one for you. You need to replace Ronaldo's goals, and Benzema's got potential to be as good as that.

I totally agree with you about Nani. He just doesnt seem like he has it to be the world's best or anywhere near it.
But then look back to Ronaldo when we first signed him. He was a little smaller physically,( had a funny haircut lol,) had lots of raw talent, made the wrong decisions on the pitch like shooting when needing to pass, only used to play about 15-20 games for the first couple of seasons I think. But look at how much he has changed in the 6 years here. He physically looks very different to before, mentally a different player, his influence on our game has improved by like 4 times, the diving has been cut down, overall he's just a different person.

IMO, the only real thing that Ronaldo has over Nani is the desire to be the best. Nani wont improve over a year but if he can motivate himself and is willing to learn then he can be (almost) as good as Ronaldo is at the moment.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

But Ronaldo was only 17/18 when he joined and you could see alot of improvement when he turned 20+

I know Nani hasnt been given much of a chance but he his 22 now and besides a few belters of a goals from him, he isnt and I dont think will be half as good as Ronaldo, which is a shame. If Nani didnt improve while Ronaldo was at the club I doubt he will improve much more now that one of his closest pals has moved on. I hope Im proved wrong on this by the way!
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

He's 22? I thought he was 20 and we signed him at 18 or something. I guess he can still improve at 22 though. Whether he'll still be at our club when he reaches his peak is another question.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Wow, what kind of world has it become when you're 'done' developping at 22! Zidane/Lampard were rubbish then...

Nani isn't going to be as good as Ronaldo - I don't think anyone will be. I honestly believe with his talent and ambition (and work ethic!) Ronaldo will be the best player to have ever played the sport. Too bad about him being a prick, but no ones perfect I guess!

What Nani can become is a very effective, talented winger. And I'd be just fine with that.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

I've been as guilty as anyone at bashing him, but if he can keep to the simple things (for now) he could be quite effective. At 22, yes he still has lots of room to develop. But when you see others around him (ie Anderson) doing the business, people are going to question him.

Maybe it was nerves / pressure to blame for his poor season, as he seemed OK in his first. He is more than capable of putting in a good cross & corner, and we all know he's willing to shoot from anywhere. He just needs to look up and see that there are other people around him!
