Because hes not good enough for United

I wont mind Young as our 3rd choice winger. We won lot of trophies because of our quality squad not just first 11. He would be starting for most of the teams week in week out.

He is good enough to be a squad player for sure, not to forget he is versatile too.

Good news for phil jones, cheekbone intact

Apologies if its been posted already

Fantastic news. Would have been a huge blow to lose him for six weeks like those Twitter rumors suggested.

homerjay2005 · 23-12-2011 2:08pm

i actually wouldnt be surprised if jones did break his cheek bone, but has decided to play anyway.

really has been an incredible signing so far,and while he has his faults at times, he is just one of those players that just tears into everything.

a cm of him, cleverly and carrick in the 5 man games, would be oh so good IMO with valencia and nani out wide.

valencia back on form lately is excellent for us. for all the talk about carrick being a big reason for us playing well, valencia should not be forgotten either,he has been smashing in the past 2 or 3 weeks.

What do you all reckon to Milos Krasic, who you nearly bought last season?
Does anybody rate Cahill, or is he a poor mans Jones?

Cahill's good with the ball at his feet but lacks a bit in defensive positioning and skill, a bit like David Luiz imo. Krasic has looked decent whenever I've seen him but that's only been a couple of times in the last 2 or so years...

I really dont rate Cahill at all. Bolton have been terrible lately which may sway my decision but I still dont rate him, especially for some of the prices floating around.

I have been watching Krasic quite a bit lately. He's a very direct player who has great acceleration for a tallish guy. Rumours of 10million would be a decent price for him. He had a very good season last season, slightly down from this, this season but I really rate Milos. He is most similar to Valencia at United.

In fairness Sgt. everybody else is just a poor Phil Jones.

Smegball · 23-12-2011 4:39pm

Whats the craic with us being constantly linked to wingers? We have an abundance already!

Gary Cahill is probably the most overrated defender in the PL.

Even a poor mans Phil Jones would be a sight to behold.

Thanks for the sig mikey that's awesome, I'll wear it with pride

Just to answer Sgt, if the price for Cahill at 5-7m is correct I don't think you will be going too far wrong. He seems to be a pretty decent player, and as is the case with a lot of lower teams it's hard to shine in a team that is quite poor in general.

I reckon he would slot in seemlessly for Luiz beside Terry and do a decent job there. Saying that if Luiz could curb his attacking enthusiasm a bit and concentrate on defending the pair could strike up a decent partnership with the pace, comfort on the ball they both have along with the quite decent positional sense which cCahill seems to possess.

Take a bow son(although it clearly should have been van Persie:p)

http://www.skysports.com/tv_show/story/0,20144,12384_7393506_12384,00.html

He didn't, unfortunately. I actually paid attention to this last night on Redcafe. Apparently, RAWK tried to rig it so Suarez would win so then Redcafe tried to rig it so Nani would win and it looked like they succeeded but there was a deadline and Suarez was leading at the time so RAWK launched a mini-campaign which included a Youtube video and sending Tweets to Chris Kamara. That must've done the trick because Suarez was deemed the winner. It was funny watching the back and forth between the two forums trying to rig the poll, wasn't friendly or anything but funny all the same.

None of the two of them deserve it anyway, Van Persie has been the best player this year.

Ive got a few tricks up my sleeve for these sigs. Some will be novelty, some will be actual sigs. I'm thinking about re-making my Nemanja sig, an honor I could only bestow on the broad shoulders of Phil.

Just wanted to say to those who PM'd me, I havent replied to any of them, I have about 15 so far, but if you PM me I will make you a sig and I will post it in here, so dont think I'm ignoring you!

well, our width has been one of the not so secret reasons we have have so successful over the past 20 years, fergie just loves his players who can take a man on with sheer power and beat him.

and fergie just loves pace also. with valencia, nani, rooney, young, welbeck and jones, our pace going forward can be frightening.

Mitch Connor · 23-12-2011 6:49pm

I hope we are not after Krasic to be honest, we don't need him at all and he has been rubbish for Juventus - wasn't he recently voted flop of the year?

We need a central midfielder, not the striker, or winger we are inevitably going to be linked with.

As for Cahill, another player we don't need - and another over rated player at the same time imo. As others have said, he is a good footballer, but not a good defender. We have Rio at the moment, Vidic will be back next season and we have Jones, Smalling and Evans at the moment too. I wouldn't be against signing a new CB, if it is someone we have identified to replace Ferdinand, in the squad, from next season onwards, but I don't want us panic buying a centre back just cause Vidic is currently out.

Giggs could carry on

Ryan Giggs says he is enjoying his football "more than ever" and will sit down with the club in the coming weeks to discuss his future.

The 38-year-old produced yet another vintage display in the 5-0 victory at Fulham and kept up his incredible record of finding the net in every top-flight season he has been involved in, 22 in all. For the last few years Giggs has opted to assess his future each season and with his current one-year deal set to expire in the summer says he will do the same again in the near future.

"It's almost that time when I'll sit down with the manager and see what his plans are [for the future] and I'll see how I'm feeling," Ryan told ManUtd.com. "At the moment I feel really good and I'm enjoying things more than ever. We'll just have to wait and see."

Giggs was in top form at Craven Cottage on Wednesday night, pulling the strings alongside Michael Carrick in the centre of the park.

"I love playing there. I've made no secret of that and it's probably my preferred position now," he added. "I said the other night it's a joy for me and Michael to play in midfield when you've got the movement in front of you like we had at Fulham.

"It makes our job so much easier when you've got three or four players making great runs when you're on the ball."

Hope he stays on.
