    anyone else feeling very optimistic about this season? 4th should really be our target but i fancy us to get 3rd

    It would be folly to get too excited until we see what happens against Chelsea, City and Arsenal imo. But I'm liking the fact that there seems to be a plan, something is clearly happening.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,902 ✭✭✭MagicIRL


    I think we'll beat Arsenal. City and Chelsea on the other hand... a draw would be brilliant.

    It's good to see LVG being so honest in post match interviews,he sees problems and isn't afraid to talk about them.He clearly wasn't happy with how we played in the 2nd half against Everton and was keen to work on fixing the problem.
    Makes a big change from what we heard from the management last season.

    Derbys can be all over the place so the City result could be anything
    Chelsea will smell blood and put ye to the sword and win 2+ goal margin
    Arsenal will beat ye ,its only top 6 sides they have trouble with.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,986 ✭✭✭Spazdarn


    Arsenal are the most likely to beat, but they've still got the likes of Sanchez who could do serious damage. I'd expect City to be marginally stronger in key areas and Chelsea... pfttt Diego Costa :(

    Good thing we are in 4th so and havent finished behind them in years.

    The real crunch match is against our real rivals, southampton and west brom.

    What a signing that would be.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,205 ✭✭✭Lucas Hood


    Bit soon to be assuming all them players will be available for free in the summer. I'd expect a load of them to sign new deals with their clubs.

    They might, united could also make an offer of a few million, or a better contract, something new to end their career on.

    Nothing stopping them from not signing on and leaving.
    Cheilini would be the best for a while and Khedira as a squad player.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,181 ✭✭✭Crimson King


    Interesting to see if Terry does a Lampard or does he feel he has a few more years left in England.

    Heard before he is actually a United fan.

    remember reading at the time, and a few times since, that United had a deal in place to sign him and lampard from Chelsea just before RA took over - that obviously scuppered the deal.

    We haven't done badly since though, tbf.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,958 ✭✭✭KH25


    Khedeira and Marcello would be good additions I think.

    Didn't M'Villa only just sign with them?

    Khedira is the standout for me anyways. Would love him at Liverpool.

    Indeed - Arsenal will bag him for Flamini exit.

    Gerrard, Flano will get contracts, Suso possibly. Johnson off to QPR (retire!)

    Can't believe agbonglahor is only 27. Seems like he's been around forever.

    True, however United midfield of Scholes and Lampard would have been amazeballs.

    On the flipside signing Terry would have meant possibly no Vidic and that would make me sad, regardless of how good a player Terry is.

    Blind breaks up play and covers space and actually passes the ball forward in ways cleverly could only dream of......Head, Sand....etc etc

    United have 2 games within 48 hours too after Christmas.

    Good thing the first game is a home game.

    Blind looks like he could be a very good signing. There have been some great instances of play from him so far but just as many times when he didnt play that well. I think a lot of people are basing their view on him at the world cup. IMO he's an upgrade on what we have (bar maybe Carrick) but he hasn't played his best just yet. I think getting Carrick back will help a lot. I think they'd be a good partnership.


    IMO they have the same role in the team, except Blind does it a lot better. So what im saying is its prob gonna be one or the other, not them both. Im in the Blind camp after the dirt iv seen from Carrick last year (and other years, we all know he had 1 good year that everyone keeps going on about).

    If, it's probably a big if, we do resign Ronaldo, we would definitely want to keep Rooney considering how well they played together before.

    If we are selling any forward, not that we should or will, it would be best if its RVP. Rooney>RVP.
