Manchester United F.C Thread [2009/2010]

[1966+2006]

To be fair, Manucho hardly ever played.

To be fair, Manucho hardly ever played.

I get the distinct impression he was overrawed by the Premiership.

 

[kp41]

How many times did you ask that?

I was absent for few weeks, didn't check all posts? so what's the answer bro?

 

[cfdemarco]

I wonder how much City paid for Viera.

We could've used a good defensive midfielder like him.

Hargreaves, I'm not entirely convinced that he's really ever coming back.

 

[Pogba4Now]

Lol vieira is a joke. He's clearly past it plus we are not in a good position to pay his high wages. We don't miss a DM. Carrick and Fletcher are doing fairly well in that position. What we miss is a creative attacking midfielder to replace scholes.

 

[cfdemarco]

That's why we should've gone after Snjeider this past summer.

 

[MikeyM]

That's why we should've gone after Snjeider this past summer.

I still can't believe we didn't. He'd have been a great weapon at set pieces too. Mind you when Owen Hargreaves does come back (and he will, they're just making sure he doesn't run any risks by nursing him back) We will have one of the best DM's in the game. I assume then that Fletcher will play further up (which of course leaves Carrick in limbo)

Another Sun story (well two)

Wayne Rooney will take over Club Captaincy if Nev retires (great choice for the role)

And if the Birmingham match is called off, Sir Alex will take the team to Dubai because he's fed up with the snow disrupting training at Carrington.

 

[cmc211]

From Birmingham's homepage, they say that the match will be played although some bad conditions.

To be fair, Manucho hardly ever played.

After his big impression, he couldn't show his potential here (this season). He should be loaned to other club to gain play experience because in current situation, he's nothing more than 5th option in the club. I've heard that Bologna and Zaragoza is interested in him.

I thought we sold him permanently to Real Valladolid? Or are you talking about Diouf here? I think Zaragoza would be a good place for Diouf to go, Bologna have Osvaldo and Di Vaio up front who he would probably struggle to get in ahead of tbh.

I wish we'd gone for Sneijder tbh, he said he only wanted to play for Real Madrid but went to Inter in the end and Utd are certainly better than Inter. Wouldn't have got as much cash for Ronaldo though is the way of looking at it I guess.

Apparently Vieira is on 100,000 p/w and I heard he cost 10mil. Never worth all that imo.

 

[Pogba4Now]

lol I think he got confused between Manucho and Macheda. Macheda is wanted on loan by Zaragoza and Bologna.

By the way Vidic has been injured. He's coming back in 10 days. We will have 3 central defenders in the meanwhile (Brown and Evans and Neville as cover)).

Again through the Sun, Rio may be fit sooner than expected. Are the Sun camping outside Carrington this week or something?

Hargreaves Takes Giant Step Towards Fitness

There's been little trumpeting about this but the official website reports that Owen Hargreaves is closer to a return than ever before: he started full training with the Reserve squad which means he'll now do ball work and will soon be ready to join the first-team squad again.

Will he ever be fully fit again? That is still far from certain but at least he made a huge step, a step he had been hesitant about, according to rumours. He has to overcome considerable mental obstacles after spending 16 months on the sidelines but he's a strong enough character to emerge triumphant.

There is of course another pressing issue: how did his injury affect his game? Hargreaves' football was based on his great dynamism and mobility and these could be severely restricted by such a long-term knee problem. If he loses this edge of his game he'll end up an ordinary player, far from the one we had such high hopes (which initially, during his debut season, seemed totally justified as he was performing very well) for.

But at least for the time being we can look ahead with a little optimism and anticipation: it would be marvellous to see Hargreaves on the pitch again.

[RockShow]

its the sun, they have one basket full of paper slips with player names on them and another basket filled with sensationalist headlines. they pull a piece of paper from each and write their story.

 

[mnj2x]

This is ridiculous..we hv been pretty much playin without our 1st choice back four all season long. Tell me another team that can do that and still be in the title race.

 

[Pogba4Now]

Just shows how a great tactician Ferguson is. He can win games with any 11 players.

 

[cfdemarco]

We will be in the title race every season if our regulars play or if our reserves play, as 75% of the table has no chance of competing with us.

I mean let's be honest, every season there are only 4 clubs that actually have a shot at the title.

 

[kp41]

Good to hear that Hargreaves news, fit Owen can really help us.

We have a good chance to climb of if we win today which is not easy at all, Birmingham's form is really impressing.

I hope Rio-Vidic don't miss Milan matches.

 

[mnj2x]

Lucky arse...snatched a draw. needed 2 deflections.

 

[Pogba4Now]

Where was Kuszczak for that goal? Crap. Expect Birmingham to play 10-0-0 now.

 

[mnj2x]

They were playing 10-0 before the goal and now that they have scored. Cant believe it. We havent had any luck with injuries and not having any luck with games as well. Absolutely battered them and the scoreline reads 1-0 to birmingham. Abit concerned about brown too. He looks shaky. We have to go all out attack now. Will be a big blow if we dont get 3 pts today
