I think we'll need a Scholes replacement too. We needed one when he retired last season, his return is only papering over the crack. A new fullback is also a requirement.

I've no idea how much money we have to spend though. We'll get £5-8 million for Berba and will also save a lot in wages too. Another £30-40m will still have to be spent though. Don't know where it's going to come from.

If we can get £10m for Berba that's a great deal (yeah yeah £30m). I would say outs will be:

Scholes
Berba
Kuszczak

Park will stay for a year or two longer to provide cover, Rio will be phased out soonish I'd say and stay on like Giggs being an experienced head. We need Evra to either up his game or Fabio to take over, otherwise a left back is a must. I'd say we need another striker if Berba's going and Owen decides to get tumblr, because I've given up hope with Macheda. Rooney - Chicha - Welbeck is a hell of a front three but we'll definitely need another one.

And two centre midfielders. Carrick and Cleverley should be mainstays next season but I have lots of doubts about Anderson.

Oh yeah, I'd sell off Ando now on the basis of:

1. Pog
2. Injury prone

 

[Milchmonster]

did he not even know that shakira fella

I'd guess he knew him. Not sure, though lol

 

[ElyrionX]

Spot on remarks from Ferguson. Mancini is an utter idiot; never going to play for City again my ass.

And let's be clear about things. I fully agree with Viera with regards to Scholes. It was desperation on our part. Even though it ended up turning out well for us, you can't deny the dire state of our midfield when he was brought back.

I had genuinely forgotten about PIG.

I have very little faith in Anderson. He follows the same cycle every season. Start well-Get injured-Come back fat-Play crap for rest of season. He hasn't really progressed in the 4 years he's been at United. Next season may be his last if he doesn't improve.We still need a new midfielder this summer anyway.

 

[Rad-]

I have always liked Anderson but his injury proneness is starting to get on my nerves. I'd still give him one more season though.

Same for Nani and his inconsistency. He doesn't seem to get rid of it.

 

[Blablurn]

wolfsburg - hamburg is gonna be an interesting game tonight. wolfsburg wants one of the europa league spots and hamburg has to win to avoid the relegation spots.

But the alternative is Ashley Young...

I hate them both, hoping for a draw. MWHAHAHAHAHA.
But seriously, they can't let Magath get a EL spot!

But United GAF told me that Nani is the best winger in the league. So obviously you are wrong with your assessment.

 

[Meier]

Boy, United have an easy couple games ahead of them. Fulham show moments every now and again but that's followed up with Wigan, QPR, Blackburn and Villa. Road is paved with gold.

 

[Wilbur]

But United GAF told me that Nani is the best winger in the league. So obviously you are wrong with your assessment.

When on form, he's top 3 wide players in the league, the other two being Valencia and Bale.

 

[Salazar]

Road is paved with gold.

I'd love to think so. Valencia should lift the number of attacking chances we get. It's to be hoped that Young looks over at him and thinks that maybe he should try a little of the same thing. Which is to say, run forward, fast, and cross, pass, or shoot with attack in mind.

This much should be obvious to a winger.

Like it should be clear to Phoenix Fang that numpty-standard trolling belongs elsewhere.

 

[Phoenix Fang]

I can't recall his name but that player for Swansea who plays on the right flank is better than Nani.

Then make sure that Hannover gets 3 points this weekend!

 

[Wilbur]

Right. Erm... more consistent yes, and Dyer is very good. But he's not better than Nani.

 

[elsk]

We already gave them 3 points. It's your turn.

 

[Blablurn]

no problem!

 

[Milchmonster]

We already played them twice this season.

Spoiler

And we gave them 3 points, too

 

[Regulus Tera]

UnitedGAF told me Nani was the best winger in the world at one point. Seriously.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Calm down bro.

Spoiler

Nathan Dyer

 

[Bo-Locks]

I really hate people saying that the upcoming games are easy. It's guaranteed that United and City will drop points from "easy" games from now until the end of the season.

Part of me thinks Scholes might stay on for another year, but I guess it's ultimately up to him. Performance wise if he can maintain the level he's playing at no reason why not.

Berba, Anderson and PIG will go this summer ideally, Macheda too.

If someone gave us a decent offer for Evra I'd let him go too.

 

[Salazar]

Same, plus, this United team could be beaten on any day. With some previous teams I got the feeling we just wouldn't lose at times, now I know we could lose any game.

Before City beat Chelsea I looked at the fixtures and thought, yeah, we've got the upperhand here. Now I look at them and I'm not so sure. No doubt ours do look the better ones but it's all about momentum.

Sinclair is the Swansea winger you couldn't name.


What happened to Fur_Q?

Sinclair plays on the left I think, Dyer on the right.

And Fur_Q? He stopped drinking.

New Old Barca kit on the way, plus my troll kit.

Can you imagine if Mancini had gone off on one like Fergie has. People would say he's doing a KK.

I'm not sure if you quite remember the utter vaudeville of what Keegan was like.

Can you imagine if Fergie had said a player will never play for him again and then relented? People would say he's weak.

[Phoenix Fang]

oh my god

Like I said it seems United fans are the ones with a hard on for Nani.

 

[Wilbur]

Do people actually think Nathan Dyer is a better footballer than Nani?

 

[Phoenix Fang]

Do people actually think Nani is that impressive to put him on the top three in the PL? Only people who seem to think that is United fans and my proof is in this topic alone.

 

[Wilbur]

Who are the alternatives?

 

[Salazar]

Do people actually think Nathan Dyer is a better footballer than Nani?

Just people whose interaction with this thread is limited to trying to get a rise out of folks.

Kompany not going to be fit for Stoke. He hopes to be ok for Sunderland.

 

[Wilbur]

I don't think anyone's disputed he's not in the top three anyway. One or two of us, probably me included said he was the best, and people disputed that. But if Valencia and Bale are the two best wingers, and Silva tends to play more centrally than wide, who is a better wide midfielder than Nani?

 

[Manager]

Who are the alternatives?

I guess David Silva? Not a classic winger but still placed there.

edit
Ah you added him above

Huntelaar price is 20M. Very cheap for a guy with 38 goals in 37 games.

To see heart rate, pulse etc. They use it to calculate how to use the maximum force of individuals.

He's 28 though.

I thought they tracked movement, speed and what have you. Could of swore I watched a video about it, could be wrong.

You're probably right, got them mixed.

This is apparently heart:

 

[José Mourinho]

You're probably right, got them mixed.

Wouldn't be surprised if they do both. I just vaguely remember seeing a video about some sort of monitor and at the end they had the laptop screen that displayed various runs players made and the speed they travelled etc.
