Starting XI
I don't think they are good enough, at least not just yet. But I'm sure they are better than the likes of Danny Pugh, Paul McShane, Jonathan Spector, David Jones, etc.Help?;2331721 said:

Lets just wait and see what is the outcome of Sir Alex's decision to recall all his loan starlets back to OT.I agree about not having a proper back up for Neville but Phil Bardsley and Danny Simpson are natural right-backs and it would be interesting if either one of them or any of the returning starlets gets drafted into the first team like O'Shea,Richardson and Fletcher,a couple of seasons back

FOR SALE
EXCLUSIVE: Glazers will listen to offers for United
By Martin Lipton Chief Football Writer 25/05/2007
THE Glazer family are ready to consider bids for Manchester United - potentially throwing the club into off-field turmoil once more.
Less than three years after Malcolm Glazer finally won his controversial takeover battle in a deal that cost £831million, United's future is up in the air again.
Boardroom figures are privately conceding a sale in the short-term is likely after the Glazers realised United was not the cash cow they believed it would be.

If they sell, there is bound to be a period of uncertainty just as manager Sir Alex Ferguson would be aiming to build on the Premiership triumph.
Financial sources in the City last night confirmed feelers have started going out from Old Trafford because the takeover was proving so costly.
Malcolm Glazer paid £790m, plus legal fees of £41.3m, to win his drawn-out fight for control of the world's biggest club.
But to do so he borrowed a staggering £559m from City institutions. Last year, a refinancing package, organised by merchant bank JP Morgan, only came after the amount owed to hedge funds had grown by another £71m, leaving a total debt of £660m.
JP Morgan's fees for that transaction came to £90m - the cost of three Wayne Rooneys - and the club now faces annual repayments of £62m. That burden is wiping out the bulk of United's profits.
Despite the capacity of Old Trafford increasing to 76,000, escalating player wages and the need to continually invest in the squad - the Glazers promised Ferguson £25m each year plus an extra £25m one-off for a star signing - account for a huge chunk of income.
Fans were outraged by ticket prices for next season going up 14 per cent and the cost of home cup ties rising.
The relationship between the club's management and the Florida-based owners is becoming more and more of an issue and with Glazer seriously ill after a stroke last year and having to put control of the business in the hands of his sons, it seems he is increasingly looking for a way out.
United chief executive David Gill was said to have been in a "really bad mood" before United's FA Cup Final defeat, preoccupied by affairs at the club.
One well-placed City source said: "What we're all hearing is United hasn't turned out to be what the Glazers thought it was. When they paid so much, they were convinced a lot of money was to be made.
"Buying United wasn't about owning a football club, but a business decision and from an investment point of view it's been little short of disastrous."

interesting to say the least. and were bing linked witha £27m bid for berbatov including sending sick note saha to spurs, frankly i would love to see this transfer

It sounds like tabloid rubbish to me, won't believe it until I hear it from a reputable source.
Glazer has denied it, It was tabloid rubbish. Skysports have the latest.
The reason David Gill was probably upset is that he's had to fly to the far east and call off one of the United games there - costing the club money.
That's probably why nothing further has happened with Owen Hargreaves yet.

there goes another talent.
Well i thought that Bardsley did incredibly well considering the circumstances when he stepped in for Gaz when he was injured a couple of seasons back. I see alot of Gaz's attributes in Bardsley, he's got that great grit and determination that Gaz has that has made him such a United legend.Help?;2331721 said:Is Evans and Bardsley good enough? I mean we hear about all this class youth players that are about to break into the team and replace one of our stars and the next thing you know is they are sold for half a million to a lower division team.

we shud find out about evans after he spends a season in the premier league with sunderland.
as for transfer news ,read on a site we have made a 6 million bid for simao sabrosa and apparently ferguson is going to fly over to spain to try and lure eto to the club. although, it could be true, i think eto wouldn't move.

Eto'o said he would stay at Barca, he'd be my dream signing but I really can't see it happening.

lets hope so...guys, if we dont get eto then who will be your top priority for CF?
Torres or maybe Huntelaar ? I cant see Berbatov coming to us (way overpriced) but who would you like to see wear the 10 shirt next season

There are no ifs or buts, you aren't getting Eto'o.
