Ruud + £60m?

Well it was a bit of a dream , but Gattuso's realistic right?

[Daz]

i'd deffo welcome a part ex involving Gattuso

 

[april__29]

And why is that......the truth hurts?? :boohoo:
SAF is a f*cking idiot, chasing players away all the time, the board should wake up and replace him. One of the best strikers in the history of the club and it looks like he will never wear the MU shirt again even though he says that he wants to stay.. it becomes clear when you read between the lines and look at his face when you bring the MU issue up.
What players did MU get right now??? And Chelsea??? It's time for SAF to leave finally, the board should've hired Guus Hiddink when they had the chance...

yeah obviosuly SAF is a '******* idiot' thats why we finished the season with a points total that in most other years would have brought us the title, which lets face it is a huge accomplishment when you consider the fact we didnt really have any sort of midfield for the whole season and have had key player missing for large chunks, and we won a trophy ok its not seen as a major trophy but hey uin Enlgand its one of the few trophies that can be won and you know other teams would want to have won it too.

frankly all you SAF bashers piss me off, i mean last season i think was a great success, its just unfortunate that Chelsea have the means in which to go that little bit further i mean come on they already splashed loads of money on players but thats not our problem and its not gonna change unless roman leaves.

as for siging players i think the problem is that the players chelsea have signed they were going to anyways , where as the targets were after the clubs they are at are unblikely to sell before the wc as they might have a great wc and thus b able to ask for more money. because with chelseas targets it doesnt matter how good a wc they have cos well chelsea as they have proven over and over again will pay daft amounts for anyone, we cant do that because we have a transfer budget.

and lastly yeah we'll just get rid of the best manager to ever grace this club and argueably england to replace him with guss hiddink or matin o'neil? ******* hell some of you need to get a clue.

reet thats my rant over

Well said

 

[Silencer]

Well said my @ss, SAF remains a f*cking idiot, thanks to him Jaap Stam left the club, thanks to him Keano left the club for unknown reasons, the best captain ManUtd had in years , thanks to him Becks left the team and probably Ruud is next. Why don't you get a clue and face reality.
SAF may have a great record but he f*cked up with these players.. I still find it unbelievable that RvN wasn't allowed to be in the same stadium when Keano had his farewellgame One of the best strikers in the history of the club...explain that to us SAF bashers

 

[Thelonious]

Well said my @ss, SAF remains a f*cking idiot, thanks to him Jaap Stam left the club, thanks to him Keano left the club for unknown reasons, the best captain ManUtd had in years

Keano had to go , after what he said he was too old anyway. You got to look at the results we weren't that far off Chelsea despite everything so you have back SAF. If you don't like him you **** off.

 

[Silencer]

The results were good considering the fact that Chelsea was well ahead halfway the season so I agree with you on that point. It has nothing to do with disliking him cause I've always respected him but the man is not God
and he makes mistakes as well just like any other coach for that matter.
Keano was too old yes and he would've left anyway but the way he left leaves a bad taste and this will be surely the case when RvN leaves the club.

I think it's about time that MU is getting some reinforcements, look at Chelsea, they were almost unbeatable but now it's even harder with Sheva and Ballack. It'll be even more of a challenge to beat them though
MU can forget about Huntelaar though cause he is staying with Ajax and he is not for sale, he has just signed his dreamcontract with the club he adores from his childhood and he is very content as well. I think it'll be more likely that Ajax will break open his contract and give him a better one so if RvN leaves, Huntelaar will not replace him and what striker has the same class as RvN??? Drogba maybe?? I mean he will be sidetracked now cause Sheva will be the first striker I'm sure of that.

 

[Daz]

Pippo Inzaghi

i know he's getting on a bit now, but if RVN goes to Milan then perhaps we could get him as part of the deal. The guy could fill the spot for a couple of years whilst we get a more long term replacement.

I'm not arguing with what Sir Alex has done in the past, and if he was still at that level then I wouldn't be speaking out. The fact is that Man Utd have now gone three years without a Premiership title - the longest since 1993. We have to accept that Arsenal and Chelsea have raised the bar in recent seasons - hell even Liverpool won the European Cup in that time!

The problems are in the quality of players he puts in the team and brings in too. But also is it any secret that we lose points against the "lesser" teams and that has to be down to the manager not being able to motivate the players for the non glamorous matches. Also the way he treats the media reflects badly on the club as a whole. Look at BBC's anti united stance now. That's down to Alex not granting interviews over a documentary.

I'll level with you, if in May he is lovingly cradling the Premiership/Euro trophy in his arms, then I will agree that he is still the right man for the job. But I, like many United fans need some convincing at the moment.

Fergie is past it and should leave, I feel sorry for the blind who can't see that.

no!! well, at least i don't want to see we have more offside than foul in a single game

i don't think he can fits in epl style. probably will get out muscle by most of the epl defenders

 

[ngyc]

Fergie is past it and should leave, I feel sorry for the blind who can't see that.

i have mix feeling on fergie. sometimes he did well against good team (how many season we own arsenal?) but incredibly sh!t against mediocre team. he got guts to drop big name player but his sh!tty rotation and player out of their fav position tactic always bring us pain.

or may be some one should bring a bottle of wine to mourinho and ask him replace fergie even though what he said is usually harsh, but i admit he is a tactical master

 

[MikeyM]

Skysports.com is linking us with a move for Nigerian striker Obafemi Martins of Internazionale. Only 21 years old too, could be one to watch.

Well, thats one of the many reasons I want him to leave. Is drawing and losing to teams like Blackburn, Birmingham, Man ****ty etc. Chelseas fault too?

 

[MikeyM]

Well - all that speculation about a press conference for Monday the 5th came to zero in the end. Absolutely no news on the transfer front (again)


I really hope that Fergie isn't going to turn around in August and say "We didn't find anyone suitable and we are confident the squad is strong enough - especially with my boy Darren Fletcher being world class "

What is it about Fletcher that the guys on MUTV find redeemable?

[Daz]

Dude stop being so damn cynical, have faith for once goddamnit.

 

[ladylover]

Worrying for nothing

 

[MikeyM]

Unfortunately I am cynical and yes I worry. I hope to God I'm proven wrong, but I can't help but feel we'll fall further and further behind Chelsea. Their money is limitless, they are untouchable in the transfer market and United's team needs improvements. I also think it's risky waiting till after the World Cup as all the star players' prices will get Carlos*ed up to the N'th degree and Chelsea will probably just buy the best ones anyway

Who said that we are waiting till after the WC? And every top team in Europe has to deal with Chelsea's limitless spending. Who ever thought that Sheva would end up with Chelsea, not even Milan saw it coming. Stop whining until you see some results, the board promised us new players, they have been saying it for months now, and I am sure that they will keep their promise, even though Chelsea look scary with their new players I am not scared of them, who knows what will happen next season, money doesn't bring in results, look at Real, buying the right players brings success, for example Barca, they didn't buy a new team to win the CL, they invested into the right players, Ronaldinho, Eto'o and Deco, the rest where already there, Real tried with buying a lot of new players, but look where they ended up.......

 

[shrekiejai]

Oh no, we'll lose Rooney!
Apparently his scissor kick in England training pissed SAF off...
