    I always thought that one of Keane's biggest strengths was that he could make the players around him play better. As for english players i'd say Paul Scholes is the best of his generation. Funnily enough i didn't rate him that highly the first couple of years with utd. Think he was used as a forward if my memory serves me right. As for Gerrard i think he has been an outstanding servant for his club. Dont think he done himself any favours with the fans when he tried to go to Chelsea though. Could never have seen any of the utd lads carrying on like that

    Scholes played in diamond 4-4-2 as they called it playing as Cam, behind Cole and Cantona when he first came in.

    Pretty much developed into a much different player in last 7-8 years alright.

    Does it really matter if a player loves the club as long as he gives 100% every time.

    Colleens partents have irish blood in this, hence the surname so the kid has a huge irish influence from both sides.

    would be class if rooney had a falling out with england and the kid declared for us!

    hopefully he does play tomorrow, we struggle big time without him.

    I'm all for the development of youth but I think the kid may be a little inexperienced to play for us just yet:)

    he wouldn't be eligible though, there's no great grandparent rule

    If homer's right then it's Colleen's parents that would make him eligible.

    And knowing Trap, he'd probably leave Rooney on the bench just because everyone wanted him to play.

    I'd sell Evra anyway. Could probably get some decent cash from PSG for him.

    There's no way 6 players will be shipped out at once.

    The only ones almost certain to leave this summer imo are Owen and Berbatov. I don't think Ando will go, Park and Evra definitely won't. I can see Macheda going on loan again.

    I can understand that, defensively hes been shocking, yet going forward hes been brilliant.

    And on top of that, hes a absolute legend. Love Evra, always will. Don't want him to start every game, but I'd hate to see him leave.

    I just can't see him finishing out his career at OT. If he was going to stay and be happy with a bit-part role it would be fine but he'll head home eventually.

    He has maybe two good years left in his legs and then his attacking days are numbered. May as well get some cash for him while we can.

    That being said, for around 4 years he was our most consistent player and probably the best LB in the world. The extra dimension he has given us from an attacking point of view has been immense. Plus, he's mad as a bag of ferrets.

    Nike have been making consistently **** kits for years. I don't wear jerseys so it doesn't bother me, though.

    Absolutely rotten. That'll be 4 home jerseys in 4 years too :mad:, I'm not shelling out for it regardless of if it looks like something Hugh Hefner would wear or not.

    What do people think of a cheeky tenner on Brendan Rodgers being the next Utd manager. I think if Sir Alex stays on for a couple more years, it might become more and more likely. Although I still would expect it to be Pep or Mourinho.
