Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread- '“I THINK I’ve found you a genius.”

Some "cuttings" from manutd.com what the papers say.

ROSSI

Rossi Is Scholes No.2
Sir Alex Ferguson believes teenage striker Giuseppe Rossi can be the new Paul Scholes. Ferguson has big hopes for the US-born Italian, who reminds him of Scholes in physique, finishing ability and calmness in the penalty area. "Giuseppe Rossi is the most natural goalscorer we've had come through this club since Paul Scholes, no question about that," said Ferguson. "He's a wonderful finisher. He's not dissimilar to Paul in a way because when Paul first came to the club, he was a centre-forward too. Then he started to learn the game and dropped into deep positions behind the strikers and scored a heap of goals for the youth teams. Giuseppe can play right through, like Paul, and can also drop in. But the big similarity between them is Giuseppe's cool head in the box."

Ferguson Plots Raid For Davis
Sir Alex Ferguson is lining up a £3million swoop for Aston Villa midfielder Steve Davis in January. The Northern Ireland international has come to the attention of Manchester United's veteran boss after earning rave reviews for club and country. Davis, 20, has been one of the few success stories for David O'Leary's side this season and is Villa's top scorer with five goals.

Fergie Hunt For Kid Greg
Manchester United are ready to make a £750,000 New Year raid for Colchester wonderkid Greg Halford. Old Trafford scouts watched the versatile Halford score twice in Saturday’s 5-0 demolition of Gillingham. And that was the THIRD time Fergie’s talent spotters have checked on Halford this season.

Thats what im thinking because if i remember correctly RVN has a wife. But it looks convincing. Its either some really good photoshop editing work or rvn is getting down and dirty with another guy. I doubt its real to be honest.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread- '“I THINK I’ve found you a genius.”

LOL, u surely aren't considering it's real!?
It's a just a well done photo editing or some guy that looks like him.

Mike Riley keeps his record on awarding us penalties at old trafford up.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread- '“I THINK I’ve found you a genius.”

Rossi did good yesterday. He's a better dribbler than I thought.

I'm pretty sure it's some guy that looks like him. I got the picture from yesterdays football365 mediawatch. I think they have had other pictures of that bloke on there before.

Very good lookilikey though! :D

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread- '“I THINK I’ve found you a genius.”

Great...Chelsea have been contacted about Ballack. Good job SAF, i'd sure hate to have him around. F($$in eh. So annoying. I just don't get it, he would walk into any squad, and should walk into United's. Scholes is back to his best yeah right...SAF is damage controlling his comments about Ballack earlier. I love scholes, he was great for years, but I'd take Ballack anyday. But no, we'll bring in someone really proven quality like Ribery. Or lets hope on hope for some other as of yet unestablished player. We need quality NOW, not optimism.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread- '“I THINK I’ve found you a genius.”

You have to remember ballack isnt exactly young hes reaching 30 same as scholes and he wouldnt come cheap either, his wage is packet would cost us millions for a player who doesnt have many years ahead of him.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread- '“I THINK I’ve found you a genius.”

Whatever you say, ballack in your team would make quite an impact in the next 3 years at least. He can still play high level fotie for quite some time. You seem to think is career is over or sumtin.

No i dont think his career is over, im saying the signing wouldnt be a worthwile investment as we are trying to build a new team with young players with years ahead of them not old players who are reaching the end of their careers plus there are other positions to be looked at where United need strengthing. To be honest i would be happy with ballack in the side no doubt he could help us, but i can also understand SAF not wasting time with ballack. I mean whats he going to say to scholes, oh mate your getting too old and your not same player you use to be, then bring in ballack who is same age to replace him dont make sense.

The new Man United kit?! Could it be? What do you think? I loved the Vodafone shirts :(
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread- '“I THINK I’ve found you a genius.”

I wouldnt reckon O2 being our new sponsor...it has to be relatively a bigger company than vodafone.Its likely to be a huge american company or an asian electronics company.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread- '“I THINK I’ve found you a genius.”

I'd love Sony Ericsson. Sony are so cool.
As for that black kit, I hope its real. I'd prefer that over the blue one any day. Makes our players look more aggressive. Suits players like Rooney and Ronaldo.

And I got to watch a rerun of the Carling Cup game and I have to say, Rossi is kicking ass. Was very unlucky to not score. He hit the post early on which would have capped of a great passing move by us. He also set up a Saha goal which was wrongly ruled offside. But Saha got another anyway.
The team is starting to pick up their form now which is great to see. But I'm starting to worry about our defence. Its a bit shakey and get exposed and broken down too easily by even the smallest teams.
But I like the direction that the team is going in. Sir Alex said that he doesnt expect much from this side this season cuz we're lacking experience. So its kinda like we're trying to build a team and pick up whatever silverware we can on the way. And then have a real go at every competition next season after we get those mystery signings to complete the squad. Plus the many injured players who need to be 100% like Solskjaer and Heinze.

Cant wait for Ole's return. Its gonna be very emotional for him being back after 2 years.

Lol yeah the black kits are always the best, i remember last seasons one against arsenal at highbury and we looked so imtimidating lol. Defintley agree about our play being more fluid, we begining to look like the team of old with slick smooth direct passing creating openings again. Rossi should also get some oppptunity to play in the first eleven or should be on our bench at least for the next game after that performance and the goal he scored against sunderland. Apparently solskjear will be getting a run out on monday for the reserves. Should be good.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread- '“I THINK I’ve found you a genius.”

'Ole should start or play against Liverpool,' Ferguson told the Manchester Evening News. 'On Tuesday he hadn't trained with the first team at all but he has trained with us for the first time and he looked absolutely terrific.

'I am really pleased about this and there is some light at the end of the tunnel now.'

Ferguson also revealed Ryan Giggs will return for tomorrow's encounter with Portsmouth. EVEN BETTER NEWS
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread- '“I THINK I’ve found you a genius.”

Apparently them blokes at football365 have plenty of time and so do you rockykabir.Thanks anyway but since you're at it and since now Brown has a new haircut...more comparisons please?
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread- '“I THINK I’ve found you a genius.”

I'm still optimistic about Ole getting back to full fitness cause I fear for the worse for the legend.Hope all his hardwork will pay off eventually.Finally we have 4 strikers on rotaional duties now that Rossi is hitting top gear plus the return of King Louis.I'd love it if we play play 4-3-3 this way come tomorrow.

Less in terms of wingplay more in terms of directness,attacking thru the centre.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread- '“I THINK I’ve found you a genius.”

Thats a good idea there. England used it against Wales with Rooney in that same position and it worked well.

But when you think about what that does to your bench, its not really worth it. First of all, you're using all 3 strikers on the pitch, meaning if one gets injured, you dont have a fresh replacement so you'd have to go back to 4-4-2 anyway. Secondly, this formation means you cant use Ronaldo, Giggs, Park and Richardson. Try telling those guys that they all will be warming the bench because of the formation doesnt needing them. Another thing to note is that if we use those 4 players as subs, you're basically taking up space on the bench for nothing.
And the most important thing IMO is the fact that the wings will be so open for the opposition to exploit. You have to remember that just cuz Ronaldo and Giggs are attackers, it doesnt mean that they would just stand there if an oposing player ran at them with the ball. Sometimes its important to have wingers just for the sake of slowing down THEIR wing play.

Also Giggs is back now and will definatly play some part of tommorows game,

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread- '“I THINK I’ve found you a genius.”

Nope. He's suspended for tomorrows game.
