Manchester United Thread [2011/2012]

Rooney or Kagawa should've got it I think, but they both refused it. What can you do? Thats why Fergie gave it to the best player of the moment: Valencia. Nani probably has more talent but isn't consistent enough.

Besides, this number might give Valencia even more confidence that will make him improve his game. A player like Nani would've got more ego.

I hope it doesn't work the other way around. I just looked at United facebook, some fans went so crazy on this, writing a petition against this decision, that's so far, I think getting that number back is not right at all now.

You don't know what you're talking about (as usual). Valencia won the players’ and fans’ player of the season, as well as our goal for the season.

I don't know about that, Nani is one of our best attacking threats we have if arguably not the best, he creates from nothing.

They have similar stats with one glaring advantage going to Nani... he scored double the amount of league goals then Valencia, (consistently better over the last 3 years.) And that from playing on his weakest side and notoriously not playing his best.

Fortunately for Valencia some of his game time has been more memorable.

Not that I care about numbers.

someone needs to get the 2012/13 thread going, I think their back in training now.

 

[1966+2006]

What does it really matter who gets the 7 shirt anyway? Our last 7 was Owen FFS.

You're more than welcome to open a new thread. Go ahead.

So who is gonna create it?

No point of creating a beautiful first post because no one is gonna read it. I never even edited the first post. What a waste of time.

If any of you guys wanna make a thread, make sure you mention it in this thread just so that we don't have 2-3 people creating the same thread and wasting time.

I don't have much hope in Cleverley TBH. He's 22 this year and has 0 senior appearances for us. If he was really that good, he'd feature in Carling Cup. His goals for Wigan and Watford don't mean much. Remember how Kieran MopHead impressed for West Brom too?

Looking back at the first post, I just noticed this post on the first page. Wow, how stupid does this post look like now. Cleverley has clearly exceeded expectations. Never expected him to blend so well into the team at the beginning of the season.

The reason why he played 0 senior games for us is that he spent 3 full seasons on loan. I didn't realize that.

Haha I'm glad someone read it

 

[1966+2006]

I'm not even that convinced of Cleverley, yet. He started well but he hasn't proven anything, yet.

Really, what's the point of making the first post that complete, it's just a waste of time for sure, somebody should break that stupid epidemy.

 

[Pogba4Now]

Looks like Zeki Fryers has agreed a deal with Spurs. WTF? Morisson, Pogba and now Fryers? Why are so many youth talents leaving?

 

[Pogba4Now]

Park has been heavily linked with a move to QPR. Looks like he's on his way out too. He will be missed. He played a big part in our recent success e.g. 1-2 years ago when he was called the "big game player". That win against Chelsea in 2011 was his best game in the United shirt.

 

[Dipanjan]

Exactly. It sucks to see so many of these great 'prospects' leaving us. These guys wanted much more than SAF thought they deserved. And we all know what happens when SAF thinks you are overvalued.

And, I will miss Park. What a great team-player. We've now lost two team-players in two successive seasons. First O'Shea and now Park.

"prospects"

 

[adedawson]

I wonder if this is something to do with Tyler Blackett... he's rated very highly, Looks amazing.

There again there will be hundreds of these Bardsleys, Simpsons, Fryers etc. They get given game time and unfortunately if they don't preform with the little time there given...

I dont think any of them have been good enough... just look at all the massive hype Brown and Oshea got when in the academy and reserves. Then the hype they got breaking through, a lot of you would argue they were not great players so what hope do these lads have. They don't cut it.

Equivalent ages, Brown, Oshea, Cleverly, welbeck, fletcher and even Evans were doing so much more.

 

[kp41]

we lost Pique and Rosi in a stupid way.

 

[Pogba4Now]

Park has agreed to join QPR... Good luck to him and thanks for the memories. United legend. Good move by QPR. They are not only signing a quality player, but this will make the club grow in terms of international recognition.

Really? Welbeck clearly had talent for years before being given a real chance with the team. I could have seen him leaving.
