    Mikel moreso for me, id just like to see kalou leave to make room for a top class striker more than anything else. Mikel is rubbish, hes i liability with and without the ball, his passing is poor and his tackling is even worse, particularly for a player in that position.

    Youd really want Van persie out of the club??? He was injured most of the season. I would love to see him at Liverpool think hes a quality player. His movement with control with the ball is class to watch and his free kicks alone...

    Anyways...Liverpool

    Tauren, you'd want rid of Brown? He has been very good this season, hardly put a foot wrong and proved a very good replacement for Neville. So much so that Neville was hardly missed.

    3 out:

    Kuszcak- didn't do anything wrong as such, but probably never be more than emergency backup
    Saha- as others have said his persistent injuries make him a liability at this stage. Could still be a good player for another club if he can get himself properly fit again.
    O'Shea- has gone stale at United and only being used as a bit-part sub. A move to a club like Villa,Blackburn,Everton might put some life back into him and be good for Ireland to have him playing instead of warming the bench every week. He's still a capable player though.

    3 in:

    Messi-The dream replacement for Giggs. Feck all chance of getting him, but with upheaval on the way at Barca it would be worth chancing your arm. No harm in trying! He'd cost a fortune though.
    Ronaldinho-Sure why not. He's leaving anyway it seems and while he'd be a risk for sure, he is still in the top 3 or 4 players in the world if he could get his form and appetite back.
    Miroslav Klose-He'd be just the kind of goalscoring centre forward that's needed, and his style would be well suited to the premier league.

    I have to admit my 3 choices are all a bit unlikely. But really the United squad doesn't need much more other than a goalscoring striker. One or two of the papers reporting that Fergie is eyeing a move for Michael Owen. I'd have mixed feelings on that one, his best days are probably behind him and he's still on massive wages.

    In fact his time at Newcastle so far works out at 800,000 pounds per game that he's actually played. Ouch.

    Seems to be almost unanimous agreement on who Liverpool should get rid of, though I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Kuyt. Great workrate and all of that, and yes he nabs the odd vital goal but he isn't good enough to play for Liverpool if they're serious about really challenging the top 3.

    Neville hasn't been missed because Vidic and Ferdinand have been absolutely immense this season - they are the rock our success has been built on, not Brown. He is an average footballer, who is not good enough to be first choice right back at United. If he was up for sale in the summer would Arsenal or Chelsea buy him? How about Liverpool? I would say Spurs would say 'no' to. He is a decent squad member, and solid enough to fill in at right back as long as the rest of the team is strong. Just look at the other side of the pitch - Evra is an example of a 'top top' full back - 10 times the full back Brown will ever be, and I would prefer someone of close to his quality on the right side instead of Brown, and Neville, who I think has been going downhill since before his injury (but was still better than brown)

    What has Evra done this season that Brown hasnt?

    been better - he is far more of a threat, and part of our attack going forward than brown is.

    Statistics disagree. 4 assists and 1 goal compared to Evra's 2 assists.

    statistics can prove anyting - 80% of people know that, Kent.

    Evra is arguably the best left back in the world. Brown isn't even close in terms of the right back role.

    Well Brown had more goals and assists this season.....

    So you think he is better than Evra?

    Hell, do you think Brown is better at right back than Richards? I don't.

    Sagna or Hutton either. Glen Johnson at Pompey is better going forward too imo. Essien is also a better right back than Brown. Have been more impressed with Hargreaves playing there as well.

    I never said that. You said Evra was more effective going forward. I beg to differ on that point.

    Never said he was better than any of those either. To want him out after the season he's had is ridiculous though.

    Evra is far more involved in our attacks, and gets involved a lot more. I'm surprised he hasn't got more assists but if i had to pick one of brown or evra to be sold in the summer i would say brown - and i'd be genuinely shocked if any united fan said different. As for the season he had.... it has been average imo. there are many right backs who would have had a similar season if they had been playing for us, and a good number that would have improved us. I want United to sign a right back, and I think Pique will be a better CB than Brown, so if it is 3 in and 3 out - those are the choices I make. In reality Brown will stay but hopefully we will sign a top right back and improve the team.
