    Seems a bit pricey. I'd be surprised if they didn't try to offload Ferreira (or maybe Belletti) as px in the deal.

    this is actually the worst thread i've ever seen,
    people name 3 reserve player's who you might get 1 million for at a push,
    and then name 3 30m rated players.


  • Users Awaiting Email Confirmation Posts: 15,001 ✭✭✭✭Pepe LeFrits


    Better than naming good first team players for no real reason, I guess.

    Still, this thread makes my eyes bleed.

    realisticaly, if even.

    pool out:
    alonso 15-20m
    pennant 4-7m
    Crouch 7-13m

    in:
    Barry 10m
    bentley 15m
    silva 10-15m

    would something like that make sense

    out

    park (no way good enough for utd)
    carrick (not a fan)
    saha

    in

    berba
    xavi
    another winger


    why do people want o shea out. not a first team player but a good sub just incase of injury

    scholes is 34 now and Anderson is not ready to take the mantal. And no way is carrick good enough to fill he's shoes

    central midfielder is needed


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 8,176 ✭✭✭Unearthly


    Personally think all the Brown out talk is ridiculous.

    He has an excellent season in my opinion


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,283 ✭✭✭Smegball


    I still don't see how people so often criticise Carrick,he's such a underrated player IMO.

    So Carrick has 2 prem winnners medals in his first two seasons, playing central midfield, and he's not good enough? Are you for real?

    Carrick is a fantastic player, his positional sense is great, his passing is superb, and he's tackled alot harder this year than last. He's also played in all of the big matches since christmas. I will say that pre-christmas he was not playing well, since then he's been outstanding.

    AS for 3 in 3 out, ~(****ing stupid) ya lets get rid of dong and get messi/kaka in.

    What has Alonso done in the last 2 years to justify you suggesting 15-20m??

    Then you go and rate Barry at 10m. Barry is a better player to have in a team/squad than Alonso.

    Him having a couple of medals is neither here nor there, Ji Sung Park has a couple of prem league medals now aswell, as does John O'Shea. Does that make them great players too?

    Carrick has done ok but using words like fantastic and outstanding is stretching it imo. I'd rate Hargreaves a better player, albeit in a more defensive role.

    If Carrick was really 'outstanding' he'd be a threat to the likes of Lampard in the England lineup. He isn't which tells you he's not quite at that level.

    He's Rafa in disguise. Ridiculous post.

    Actually this is a ridiculous thread.

    Out:
    Knight: 20m
    Harewood: 25m

    Rio Ferdinand: 10m
    Kaka: 15m

    Easy!

    Man United:


    Out -

    Louis Saha - Might get 8 million for him? Same as his hospital bills this year.

    Michael Carrick - Don't rate him at all. I'd take 8 for him too.

    Rio Ferdinand - I dislike him immensely (imo lacks passion for the club, too casual on the ball as a centre back, loses concentration at times) although he has had a great season this year, big factor in winning the league. However, that means his value is at its highest. Might get 30m for him from someone or other.


    In -

    Gennaro Gattuso - Getting on a bit, arguably not as effective as he once was but a change to the Premiership would be as good as a rest and he has the sort of bite that we lacked this year.

    Dirk Kuyt - Almost illegal to like a 'Pool player but Kuyt is such a hard worker, I think he would be a great addition to the squad and surely he wants to win the league someday?

    Dean Ashton - I think he could go very far with the right manager/coaching. Possibly not really a spot for him in the current squad but with Saha out there's at least a place on the bench down the pecking order.



    With Ferdinand gone, there would be a big gap at the back but I would have to look around for a good centre back to replace him with.

    I think that would worsen the united squad, Ferdinand has been imense this season. Carrick has also played his part.

    Nobody would pay anywhere near 8m for Saha or 30m for Ferdinand, your living in a dream.

    Just as well Sir Alex wont be taking your advice on board.

    Never asked Ferguson to take my opinion into consideration, my sum total management experience being a mid table astro league finish. These are my opinions, I'd honestly prefer players with great passion for a club or for football than a more talented but less pssionate counterpart. Carrick and Ferdinand lack the sort of passion that the likes of Tevez and Vidic have in abundance. Ferdinand is almost certainly more talented than Vidic as a footballer but I know which one I would prefer at the back of my team.

    Barry is not a better CM that Alonso.
    Bentley is about the same as Pennant and Silva vs Crouch is very hard to call

    Ferdinand and Carrick are more elegant players, thats their style, not every player is a "braveheart" type player. Ferdinand doesnt lack passion, he dishes out some rollickings when somebody's not pulling their weight.

    Even though Ferdinand and Carrick are proven winnners two years in a row now, your still not happy with their contribution to the team.

    11 players on a pitch with "passion" will not be as effective as 11 players with talent and passion. The right blend is needed, thats what makes Ferdinand and Vidic a great partnership.

    Maybe if you considered this when managing your next team, you might be more successful than a mid table finish.

    i'd rather have the talent of Rio than the passion we had with Heinze. thought he loved the club and the fans. the dirty traitor.

    Compare Barry's contribution in CM to Alonso's for the last 2 years. Barry was unlucky not to get in the team of the season this year.

    Barry has 9 goals and 10 assists in the league this year, what has Alonso done???

    Bentley is a far better player than Pennant, thats why he's rated at 15m and he's being linked with big moves away from blackburn. He's also started for England while Pennant has done what exactly???

    Well according to Wikipedia, he is not illeterate
    Personal life

    Following a domestic disturbance in July 2007, Pennant was arrested for a Section 5 public order offence — using words or behaviour likely to cause distress — for which he had to pay a fixed penalty fine.[10]

    Off the pitch, he is good friends with Chelsea left-back Ashley Cole from their time together at Arsenal.

    Pennant is not illiterate.[11]

    Until January 2008, Pennant was dating Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe (Mercedes McQueen).[12] He formerly dated topless model Amii Grove.

    Seriously, the person who said Ferdinand out Kuyt in was either taking the piss, coked out of their head or both. Oh and IrishMike, come on, Bentley > Pennant.

    Mikael Silvestre
