Erm, no offense (and I love Sammie as much as the next guy) but I only asked in the context of him being a United target. Hence this thread, hence the post.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Read this Ryan. Might help. I've only seen him couple times myself so can't quite judge yet and it's too early but dude looked the real deal! Next French Gerard Pique or something. He's gonna be a monster I think and already is quite impressive in many different ways but still so young that you'd forget given his maturity and size, etc.

And the new interesting twist his future has just taken!

Have to say as weird as it is to see a Lens player signing for Lille! It'd be the best move I feel. He should remain in France and with Adil Rami gone, and LOSC on the up, what better place to continue... you can finish your school, don't even have to move out of city! And further develop then move to Man Utd or something in a few years. Of course by then Man Utd or whoever wants him would have to pay more like $30M rather than $10M which is current price... but that's a different story.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

18 so he wouldn't have to registered and I can see Brown leaving this Summer so it could happen.

Exactly what I was thinking. Almost a cheap (presume neutral w/ the sale of Brown) way of adding another spot to our squad limit. Plus potentially a good player.

Fingers crossed then :)

Is the transfer window from June 1st or July 1st?
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

July.

Gib's become quite big on the football blogging scene since he quit stat-editing and stopped posting regularly on here!
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Dimitar Berbatov, had one chalked off by the Dubious Goals Panel on Monday; he is now down to 20 after Manchester United’s second against Sunderland on Dec 26 was credited as an Anton Ferdinand own goal.


So Berbs and Tevez both on 20 going into the last game....

will be Berbs even start tho??

First leg of youth cup final Vs Sheff Utd last night ended 2-2, 30k turned out to watch the game.

Should make for a cracking home leg, tickets will be on open sale and available to buy on the night..

why does it matter or is this another petty bit fans fancy ? Tevez to me has been miles better .
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

and yes would have tevez over berbs anyday, tevez first goal was pretty sweeeet....
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Hernandez named Fans POTY and Nani named Players POTY, Both deserved them I'd say. :))
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

There hasn't been a single standout player for us this season, everyone's played their part, which is a nice change.

Nani and Berba were outstanding in the first half of the season. Valencia, Carrick and Rooney have been great since around January/February. Hernandez has been a revelation since he forced his way into the starting XI.

The two players who've probably shown the most consistency over the course of the season are vdS and Vidic.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

I think Nani and Berbatov's period was the most important, we weren't up to much and them two carried us in the absence of Valencia and Rooney.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Yeah Vidic has had a great first season as captain, especially playing without rio, playing with a young CB (smalling) altho he has already shown that with evans, chipped in with a few goals and was a major factor winning the title..

Thought he would get players vote...

hernandez has been phenomenal this season...

scored so many important and quality goals, but the one away to Valencia is my fave...

Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Maybe scholsey's last game @ OT on sunday peeps...

37, no contract signed, testamonial and autobiography (of sorts) next year.

such a Great player...

so giggs could have started playing before all of em' and finish his career after..
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Yep, it would have to be GK, DMF, AMF. All other areas are covered nicely.
Its almost weird to think that we'll probably start next season without VDS, Neville, Scholes, Hargo, Owen, and we wont even have the benefit of recieving any kind of transfer fee for their departure.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

I thought that, but I was hoping I was the only one...
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

I'm sticking to my 'prediction'. I think we'll sign:

Keeper - De Gea if he agrees, if not Steklenberg
Midfielder - I can genuinely see us trying to get Sneijder
Forward - I think Fergie likes the looks of Ashley Young, and we can't afford Sanchez

We'll also likely grab a few people no one has heard of (the Bebe/Obertan/Diouf model) and offload a massive stack of players, including Nev, VDS, Scholsey, Mickey Owen, Macheda, Wes Brown and possibly Obertan if a bid came in.

Going to be a busy summer in both directions, imo.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

How can we afford Sneijder at the age of 26 but not Sanchez at 21? They'd both be going for similar fee's.

It's too difficult predicting United signings nowadays, De Gea is one I can see happening. Other than that I can throw some random 10-15 names and guess we'd get 2 and even then I might not get them right.

I'll play along though :))

De Gea
Varane
Henderson

GK

CB

CMF/AMF

but if all the players expected to go, do go, it'll free up alot of the wage bill....

ideally id say a SS/CF aswell...

either way its gonna be an interesting summer...
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Ive changed my mind on that again now, :LOL: Lets just say I think the first two will happen and I have no clue who the 3rd player will be.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

I really hope we don't sign Henderson.

He's rubbish.

I was the 1st to mention that ,not the rubbish bit ,but Henderson will be the on mutd squad next season. I`m not even sure Why I even said it I heard 2 old geezer talking about it in Miami airport :LOL: They looked well inform.

I think with Henderson is that, United always try to maintain that strong british presence in the team.Hes a neat player to have anyways,smart on the ball and is a natural central midfielder.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

The new Carrick? Quite similar players imo. Henderson is also a lot bigger than he looks, and has played out wide a bit.

But if Welbeck is in any involved in that transfer, I'll be well pissed off.
