Manchester United Thread

I suspect Moyes will take him out the limelight, it's a bit of a worry now as the 'cat' has got out the bag its not just informed United fans who will be excited for his every touch but every muppet reading a paper like The Sun will expect miracles and expectations have gone through the roof along with the added microscope of everything he does.

will be up to the likes of RVP and Rooney take the pressure off him.
 
I saw the match against Sunderland and to be fair IMO he had a rather disastrous first half...might be me, but James Richardson had exactly the same opinion on Football Weekly.

Let's not forget that he is just a young guy and don't expect miracles from him yet...maybe he just played his best match of the season...He needs tie to develop in to a seasoned player...
 
All. I see is another diver to join the league. He was carded not for tackling , but diving. That's the cons of a dribbler -_-

Januzaj?!

He was our best player in the first half IMO, I thought Nani was the only other player of note.

He was also excellent with the reserves on the Monday which earned him the start.

I actually think there is no Kosovo national team.
While i obviously would want him to play for Belgium, i sincerely hope all this nonsense about the national will not disturb him. He has everything to become a great player and i will enjoy him no matter for which country he plays...i will see him always as a Belgian youth product, while Valon will always see him as an Albanian and other people will see him as from Kosovo...in the end all this does not matter at all.

It's also kind of ironic that a Liverpool fan can be that crazy about a Man Utd player...but that is a good thing too as i don't like all these moronic tribal wars between rival football clubs.

What's the situation with Kosovo's national team?
Click to expand...

Kosovo NT has apply to be part of UEFA but platini refused it always , it's mostly because of country's like Serbia and Russia who do pression and don't let Kosovo be part of Uefa , whole FIFA it's kind of agree having Kosovo as part of it but you can't be part of FIFA without be accepted from Uefa , it's all politics no body cares for sport they care more about politics ... But our teams lose much from this , no sponsors and no investment on our football because of this .

@gerd I was Albanian before than Liverpool FC fan , for a country like us was very important being "nacionalist" if wasn't for this we will be gone long time ago , when I was 9 I (all we from Kosovo) were forced to leave homes , leave country , when I got back home was burned , all city was burned , even mosques , a lot of people died , so if wasn't for love of our nation we will not exist today !!!
 
It really is sad how sport and politics are pushed together. I think any country with the ability to field a sport team and enough money to organize a FA should be part of UEFA. Only political side should be that the FA must be supported by the Government.

And I agree that people should play where they call home. If they born there, grew up there, then it should be their home and their choice to play for which country. I see many people who can't make it to their national teams and go to another country just so they can play regularly and despise them. Especially when there are some who choose their own country and cannot play because of stupid politics.
 
Valon, i understand you. i have no idea what it must be to grow up in a country like Kosovo, other than that it must be horrible. That is also why i don't say much about Januzaj's choice. A country like Kosovo or Albania needs a national symbol, a role model...Januzaj might turn out to be that role model.

If you think about this rationally, then it would be better for this world if Januzaj would play for thje Kosovar (or Albanian) national team than for our national team...only fans are not always rational. It's strange but our national team is becoming an important symbol for all the Belgian people who oppose a Czechoslovakian scenario...we want a multi-ethnic national team in a country were the north (the part where i live) is becoming more and more nationalist and at times even racist.
But compared to what happened in Kosovo this is a luxury problem.
 
and since we had this OT here , i'll post this pic , this is what Kosovo NT will look like! thats not a bad team at all!

I don't think that team can get you into the WC yet, but it can be a dark horse messing with other team's attempts and maybe after a few years, be what Belgium is today.

Hope that one day that team can be fielded for an official UEFA or FIFA match.

Dunno, Januzaj and Shaqiri are beasts they'd win it by themselves!

Come on...
Imagine this team against Spain, Brazil, Germany...
Some of these teams (and yes Belgium too) are overhyped.
Januzaj and Shaqiri are very good players, but they can't win tournaments all by themselves.

Which country will win the world cup ?
One of the following: Brazil, Argentina, Italy, Germany, Spain.

One of these 5 teams will win the world cup.

There is not a single team that comes close...other teams, the so-called dark horses like Colombia, Switzerland, Belgium or this fictional Kosovo team might eliminate one or two of the above mentioned teams, but in the end one of the 3 other teams will win it.

As for our national team: i'm not even sure if they will participate...they still need two points. Tonight they play in Croatia and i see them loose that match.

Sorry for the off-topic.

I was exaggerating. I do like the look of that team, though but I don't genuinely believe it capable of winning a world cup.

I think next year will see the best of Germany, either way unless they come up against each other before the final my bets are firmly placed on a Spain vs Germany final.

Of course knowing my form, they'll both get knocked out in the group stage and France will win it somehow.
 
haha, my post was to get INTO the WC, not talking about winning it at all. But I do agree with all your posts. This weekend's games are very exciting to watch.

You can't really blame us for being so off topic...there's nothing going on with club football and the only Utd news we have so far is that Rooney's happy again, Fabio and Hernandez might leave in search for first team football
 
very cool from Ronaldo.

Van Persie got a hattrick for Netherlands which is promising as he hasn't been quite the same the last two matches for us.

hopefully he can kick on with that.
 
RVP would be banging them in left, right and center if the team actually got the ball to him.

It's not really his fault if he's completely isolated up front. That said, he should've scored against Sunderland, no idea why he chose to take that one on one like he did.
 
Aye when you have the likes of Robben providing your assists (aka a consistent winger) it's amazing what that does for a good striker huh;)
 
so Januzaj want £100k per week .... wow seems like united gonna be in trouble , I bet city can give him this :P
 
Where did you read that up? He is most level headed guy you can find in United squad.

definitely he knows 100k is a lot for youngster like himself (he has done nothing yet, to give him that kind of cash).

If that's true he can f*ck right off. He's played 1 match, and has proven nothing at this stage.

I'm hoping it's just paper talk, because if that's true of a kid that's always seemed pretty reasonable, I need to give up on football even more.

He should get exactly what United always offer youth players that move up into the first team.

As Fergie used to say (and ex-youth players): you can get very, very rich playing for Manchester United, but you have to earn it.

(except Ashley Young).
 
Why is Young still allowed to pull on that Number 18 shirt that Paul Scholes made legendary?
At least Valencia had the decency to ditch the Number 7 shirt after a bad season by his standards, Young should fuck right off now!
 
well its all over Albanian newspaper , they say that his agent is asking that if not he'll leave on january!

I don't know if I can believe that since Januzaj looks reasonable guy as u said but hey you never know!

how much young get paid ? get rid of him , give Januzaj his wage + wage they planed to give first to him and it will be alright :P
