The Official Manchester United Thread [2006/2007]

What does the fact that you're a Bolton fan matter in the way that you think?

 

[theo]

So is Carrick really up for the #16 shirt, judging by his performances?

 

[Daz]

Carrick has been great, he's slotted into the team nicely and works well with Scholesy to balance out the midfield. Some of his passes to Ronaldo and Rooney have just been incredible, his vision and pass accuracy is immense.

 

[Daz]

Bardsley is going off on loan to Villa after we've played them in the next 2 games. Will be great to see him hopefully playing consistently in the Premiership with Martin O'Neill. Future Gaz replacement

 

[phrase]

Carrick is performing at his expectancy.He is silently confident in holding our midfield together.Notice who wicked his corner deliveries are? Ryan Giggs is piss poor at times but still gets the nod over Carrick on corners.He is really confident of his skills and did not see the number 16 as a burden.Roy and Micheal are totally two different players,one a true defensive midfielder,a general on the field and the other a deep-lying play maker.There you go...

 

[Crusad3r]

Beckham leaving Madrid probably, so Real Madrid is linked with lo of right wingers like C.Ronaldo or Ribery, thats all.

 

[dubcrazy]

Roy and Micheal are totally two different players,one a true defensive midfielder

wat are u on about,,,a true defensive player is makelele,,,roy scored plenty of goals,,,surprises me how short memories people have

Danny Simpson is a much better player and probably doesn't give it large or acts like bit of a twat in public. Bardsley was given an opportunity at Rangers, Le Guen put alot of faith in him to do the business and was handed an immediate run in the side, only to have it thrown it back in his face. The fact that he couldn't be arsed to give Roy Keane a simple call to say he'd been offered first-team football at another Premiership club says a whole lot about Bardsley. Might not be a bad thing if he stays at Villa.

If Neville can't sort out his recurring injury problems then I can see Simpson being given a chance to make the right-back position his next season. The defence cannot build an understanding if one position is chopping and changing every week.

I personally prefer the way that Bardsley plays; the aggression and bravery he puts in reminds me of Gaz and i like that in a player. And the two most suited people around to sort out attitude problems are Martin O'Neill and Fergie, and he's now working with both of them. Though Simpson also looks like a great prospect and having him as an extra choice at full-back will be a huge benefit - similar to having Gabby and Evra on the left who both offer the team different things. Though Wes is a reliable replacement at Right-Back when Gaz is out at the mo tbh.

 

[Kulixs]

I think Simpson won't make it as a Man Utd player.

 

[Daz]

I'd like to see more of him before i make a judgement, but i've heard alot of great things about him.

also, any news on Dong? is he staying with the first team for the rest of the year or is he still out at Antwerp?

 

[d3adly]

johnny evans and shawcross future solid cb pair for united.

 

[untouchable]

What about this Craig Cathcart I keep hearing about. Evans and Cathcart, two Northern Irish dudes.

 

[mnj2x]

seems that darrent bent is up for sale... but he's injured. could he be one of the 2 signings??...

Hmm, we have loads of strikers atm, 2 defensive minded midfielders would be ideal.

 

[buzzer555]

It would be pretty cool if we could get Hargreaves and Bent in this window but both of them arent in the best of shapes. I wonder who Fergie has in mind right now

 

[mnj2x]

i will be damned if its another 30 over year old personnel..

The two possible signings are Bale and Hargreaves, but that's based on all the speculation,

 

[phrase]

The thing with Gareth Bale is he is a left back,now why would we want ANOTHER left back?
