Haha, ask Sir_Didier_Drogba, he plays for his beloved Hannover 96.

In his case I have no problem selling. The guy had some talent, and maybe should have been given a shot when Welbeck was on loan, but you didn't need him. You should be more upset about Zieler who looks amazing and would have been free instead of £17m.

I'm surprised how good Zieler became. At that time, Ferguson was relying on Kuszczak and Foster to repace VDS. Another academy player we should've kept is Shawcross. I think Jones and Smalling are better than him but at least he would help during our defensive crisis.

I think some guys respond well to a challenge and it looks like Zieler is that kind of player. He didn't get the opportunity to step his game up at United, and so he just never did. I agree with you that Shawcross isn't as good as Smalling and Jones, but he WAS a lot cheaper. Hmm... I wonder what the "let them go" team looks like

Diouf-Rossi
Richardson-Pogba-Gibson-Tosic
Fabio-Pique-Shawcross-Spector
Zieler

A couple duds, but that's a Premier League team anyway.

Stop talking like you didnt gift Hummels and missed Kompany

:mad:

The Kompany thing really makes me mad and I even knew it at the time. We bought Van Buyten from Hamburg and were like "better luck next time Hamburgers (H)" and they were like "cool, we'll replace him with Kompany" :(

It happens everywhere, we can't include 50 players in our squad.

Actually Fergie is so loyal to home made players ... if not, Wellbeck and Evans didn't have the chance to play in starting XI.

I don't know why you guys are pointing to these youth selling ... there is no doubt about Fergie reputation and his academy trust.

Well you know us Die Roten Ultras were a little skeptical with the transfer at first but are cautiously pleased with the start he's made, however when you've followed the '96 as long as I have and seen so many players come and go you know that sometimes a new signing can fizzle out and be a flash in the pan....... oh well, we'll soldier on.

Titles are won on the ability to nick the points in games like this.

yeah, but it was worst Aston Villa in years and they may be relegated, we shouldn't always do it the hard way ... but it's a mentality boost for us and against teams we play.

I saw a tweet the other day that he's accounted for something like 16 goals in 20 matches.

This is ridiculous. This would make me kill someone if true. But it's probably not, since it makes no sense. Any transfer rumour should be considered on 3 fronts before even contemplating if it's true, and those are:

i. Does the move make sense for the player?
ii. Does the move make sense for the selling team?
iii. Does the move make sense for the buying team?

Now, this doesn't satisfy point 3, because Dortmund don't want to sell, but they might have to, so let's ignore that one. It doesn't make much sense for point 1. Sure, Lewandowski wants to leave for a bigger team in a bigger league, but seriously, ManU? For at least the next 2 seasons, assuming no one gets sold, he'd have Rooney and RVP in front of him, in a team that sometimes only plays one striker, with Chicharito and Welbeck breathing down his neck, as well as the form of the wingers and attacking mids like Young, Nani, Valencia and Kagawa who, depending on formation, would also be competing with him. He's a starter at a top club in a top league and there are other teams who would love to have him and who could offer him actual playing time (like, any other team barring perhaps City and Barca, even Madrid, with their Higuains and Benzemas have less competition in the ST role than ManU).

And point 2 is tied to the one I just discussed. Seriously? You JUST bought RVP. Rooney still has many years in front of him, and they're both arguably (quite definitely) better than Lewandowski right now. There's also Chicharito who has 7 in the last 5, and Welbeck who... I dunno, but he's definitely too good to be 5th choice. This is all makes me think that this is just lazy journalism, but if it is, why not link him to Chelsea? Or Spurs? Or even Arsenal? This makes so little sense, that I'm starting to think it has to be true. Why else would it pop up? After all, City did something similar when they got rich and exclusively bought strikers (consider that this summer they had Dzeko, Tevez, Balotelli, Aguero, Adebayor, and Santa Cruz on their books, and that's AFTER selling at least 3 other forwards who were bought in th last few seasons).

Bascally I'm just astonished that this even a rumor and deathly scared that it might even be true. I want me some Lewandowski in blue. I wanted me some RVP in blue and some Chicharito in blue in the summer. So **** off you bastards. Buy a ******* midfielder (but not one that we might want).

Haha. Lewy? Why not? (H)

---------Lewy---------
RvP--------------Rooney
-----------------------
---------Kagawa--------
----Cleverley--Carrick---

I think this can work but why would we waste Rooney and RvP on the wings? I don't believe this rumour because it makes absolutely no sense.
