uptheos Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Several years ago you would be hard pressed to find anyone in Thailand wearing a Chelsea or Man City shirt on the street. No one knew who they were, they hadn't yet purchased modern fame. However, Man U and Liverpool shirts have been worn for ages, their fame has been around for a very long time and didn't just 'buy' it. Strangely enough you don't see many O's shirts being worn, despite their class. (Note the Sponsor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRed Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Well done on the win. Lucky first goal from Rooney. That was your first forage in our half and I think even you lot will admit it was a mis kick. The last goal was never a free kick in the first place but hey ho.

Man City manager talking about Man U could go in either I suppose. City are more expensive that's for sure, but I'm not convinced they're better than Man U otherwise they wouldn't be 6 points behind. Sounds like you have lost confidence in the manager, whereas the Man U fans have every confidence in theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will just have to wait until the end of the season again. TBH. I have never had total confidence in Mancini, just hope. WRT SAF, I think we are all agreed is a differenet kettle of fish altogether. Although United fans often give him stick about his team choices. I bet I wouldn't have to go back more than 2 pages in this thread to see some critisism of his choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must of been listening to us then instead of playing Giggs and Scholes too much i hope he sticks with Cleverly now and also gives Powell and Jones more game time,the pensioners are legends at the club but United are bigger than any individuals and there time has been wonderful for 20 years but now they should be used very sparingly at the end of games to slow down the tempo and control the closing of games. No manager is exempt from criticism even the greatest of all time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rijit Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) [ And me, we don't want him. He's neither good enough or consistent enough. That's one opinion , but he's quick and can finish, given a fully fit season IMO he'd return you 15 maybe more. And Zenger has consistently said he expects wallcot to develop into a central striker and if your strikers lack one element it's electric pace on the break. who knows, what ever position he'd play for sure imo it would give you another option and pull you away from your rather one track neigbours. And If utd did sign him IMO it would be a huge psychological statement/blow placing arsenal firmly further down the pecking order, so much so tbh, i would be surprised if Zenger allowed it, but as often per contract discussions these days he's not in the driving seat Edited December 14, 2012 by rijit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellbeck is as fast a striker around at the moment! Walcott would have to change if he came to United ....Fergie wouldn't put up with any shit from him so! maybe it would improve his consistency but he would have to.I don't think Fergie wants him and to be honest we have Valencia who is right wing and the best around in that position.

Notstupid30 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) Well looks like we want be signing anybody in the next window but no real surprise really ???? Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson not planning January signings Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed he will 'definitely not' be adding to his Manchester United squad during the January transfer window. The United manager invested in his squad during the summer by splashing out to bring in Robin van Persie from Arsenal and Shinji Kagawa from Borussia Dortmund. Ferguson also recruited Alexander Buttner as cover at left-back and snapped up the highly-rated teenage midfielder Nick Powell from Crewe Alexandra. However, there has been speculation that Ferguson will try to make further additions in the New Year in order to cement United's position at the top of the Premier League table. Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski and Arsenal winger Theo Walcott are among the players to have been linked with moves to Old Trafford, but Ferguson is not planning for any new arrivals. "I will not be bringing anybody in, in January, definitely not," Ferguson told the Mail on Sunday. Instead, Ferguson is expected to send some of the club's fringe players out on loan, with Italian striker Federico Macheda among those tipped for a winter move.

carmine Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 If Vidic, Smalling, Jones and jonny nippon are fit why would he want to sign anyone. As i said before, teams are normally going to have to score more than two goals to beat Utd which will be highly unlikely when the defense is fit again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
