just about mate im about to go in!:D

i have a funny feeling fergie wont sign any cm's and come out with the im happy with the squad and signings iv made bullsh*t.

we need to strengthen the midfield no excuses, if we want to be up there with barca and win the euro we have to do this.

united have missed out on modric now simply because chelsea have got involved and united wont get into a bidding war with them because it will make them look like they are broke simple as.

fergie dont leave us down with the cm.

I heard Phil Jones is the greatest 19yr old united have signed from Blackburn this summer. Cheap as chips too.

Well I do think he is going to be a star and if he stays at United and succeeds he will be a future Captain there, he has those qualities you want in a leader on the pitch.

I do hope I'm wrong though.

Fellaini's a dirt tracker compared to Modric, Sneijder or Schweinsteiger.

He's a good Premiership player but not good enough to be Manchester United's first choice central midfielder (in our quest to compete with Barca).

I agree that he is less skillful compared to those lads. But a player can still be tidy on the ball and good enough in that aspect of the game to help us achieve our goals without being as skillful as those guys. They would be excellent, but they would almost be overkill when you consider the price and difficulty of getting them. We don't need someone who can unpick defences, we already have that in Rooney and Berba, we just need someone who can keep us ticking over and link our brilliant defence and our brilliant attack. Then the team will start functioning properly and all the excellent fighting spirit, self belief and skillful players that we already have will really shine.

On the point of our quest to compete with Barcelona, I'd like to point out that we don't need to play like them in order to compete with them. We do need to be able to hold onto and use the ball better, I definitely agree with that. But there are lots of players who could help us do that - not just the world class creative players like you mention.

Fellaini and javi Martinez would be 2 cracking signing,would give our front 4 a great platform to play.

Or maybe Modric and his wife are happy in London and no offer from United will change his mind. The "broke" argument is simplistic and just wrong.

he is a class act,looks to have all the qualities to make it in EPL.Cant see him getting a move to the big 2 in spain anytime soon so england could be a move he would make.

How do you mean?

Are you saying that Rovers will fail miserably next season? I'm not too hopeful tbh with our current manager but failing miserably for us is being relegated. Finishing in the top half of the table is a great season.

I mean I didn't just pick a successful team to follow when I started following a team. I picked a team that I knew somebody playing for and I've stuck with them.

Most people in this country just pick a successful team to follow which is glory hunting really regardless of what age they are when they start following them. Lots do it in the UK too in fairness.

Yeah i meant Blackburn will fail miserably.

I've supported United since i knew what Football was and i'm from that general area so that makes your point moot. Also we didn't win anything for the first 10 years so that's hardly glory supporting now is it?

You say you are from that 'general' area, so why did you pick United then. There are loads of clubs in that general area but you picked the biggest club. I'm not criticising you for it either, its human nature I think to want to support the biggest team. Its just that I wouldn't support a team because they are big or successful, I'd need some good reason to support any team. Like to have lived there or know somebody that was playing for them at the time or something else. It would have to be more personal for me than just that they are big and/or successful.

Lovely new thread yipeeeeee!!

Looking forward to another entertaining season with lots of ups with a few downs.
Hopefully we sort out the lack of goals and creativity in midfield and then we go on and win our 20th title.

Why didn't you pick lesser teams then?

Or were you just attracted to the bigger teams?
