    It looking like Clyne will sign for us.
    So basically, if Evra were to get injured (has to happen some time), then Clyne, a RB, would be our first choice LB?

    I really really hope that's not the plan.

    He is a RB but can play Left.



    Considering he won't play, quite high.
    Is he banned?
    Thinking as a sub TBH.

    retarded comment

    snore...your comments have been shít all season so I wont pay any heed to this, if anything you are vindicating what I said by disagreeing with it.

    If Tiote and Caybaye were signed by United in the summer would you guys be disapointed in that we didnt sign anyone more high profile, I think they would be perfect for us and are exactly what we need, caybaye is the more creative of the two but can also tackle, there are actually 4 newcastle players that would walk into our team

    Tiote
    Caybaye
    Krul
    Cisse

    I would have DDG over Krul and it's far too early to make any kind of judgement on Cisse. Looks great so far but let us see how it goes. I'd prefer to let Welbeck and Hernandez develop atm.

    Cabaye and Tiote would be interesting, though.

    Did I hear Ferguson say somewhere that he is only going to buy a full back for next season and that's it? Apologies if I'm wrong though.

    Tiote and Cabaye are exactly the types of players than United need. Whether it should be those 2 players is another question,

    Question for everyone....

    If you had to choose between being in our current position and Chelsea's current position, which would it be? Being in the CL Final would be great of course, but if they lose that then they are royally fúcked.

    Current position, because our team simply wouldn't beat Bayern.

    If we didnt have Chelseas suspensions or the equivalent... had Vidic, Fletcher and Cleverly flying fit then it would be very tempting tbh.

    I'd still pick current one though, just.

    Cisse to UTD this summer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,721 ✭✭✭Al Capwned


    Tiote
    Caybaye
    Krul
    Cisse

    .
    Cisse? Maybe

    de Gea >> Krul


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,273 ✭✭✭racso1975


    Cisse to UTD this summer.

    don't care where he goes in summer so long as he scores a hat trick Sunday! Such a shame they have 3 games in 8 days


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,369 ✭✭✭UnitedIrishman


    Yeah but Neville, Johnsen and O'Shea didn't cost anywhere near what Jones cost. He could turn out to be a great player for Utd, but huge improvements needed.

    Just on this: A hell of a lot of clubs were meant to be in for Jones last summer and we were forced to make a move. The price was the result of a lot of things - age profile, English, other clubs interested.

    If we hadn't signed him and he'd been performing brilliantly for Spurs (Harry was keen to sign him) we'd all be complaining about "we missed out again, typical". We can't have it every which way. He's performed decent enough this year, but looked to have lost a bit of confidence since January.

    Also, it's a bit unfair to change our tunes from seeing him as the future center back of our club and potentially the young player of the year before Xmas, to being a jack-of-all-trades player.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,061 ✭✭✭tvercetti


    I said it a few days ago that Tiote and Cabaye style players are exactly whats needed for next season, I would prefer Modric over Cabaye, obviously he would be alot more expensive but that hopefully won't be an issue.

    This. Not allowing myself even a smidgen of hope. City aren't going to piss it away from this position. No offence to Newcastle, they've been brilliant this season but City will beat them Sunday and it's not some anti-jinx thing either.

    Anyway, last home game Sunday so I'm assuming there will be a Fergie message and lap from the players after full time.

    You can't compare Jones to O'Shea until he has done this.

    Until it is mathematically impossible, never give up hope.

    I think we'll win our two games but so will City.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,825 ✭✭✭Mikeyt086


    It really makes me uneasy seeing how many people are convinced Newcastle are going to do City on Sunday, both on here and on Facebook I am seeing far more optimism for Newcastle v City than I did City vs United. I honestly reckon City will go out and win 1-3.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,906 ✭✭✭✭PhlegmyMoses


    Absolutely. Newcastle's form against the traditional big 6 this season has been very hit and miss. 12 points from a possible 33 including tonight. Not exactly something to hang your hat on.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,097 ✭✭✭shadowcomplex


    At this moment in time Krul is a better Keeper than De Gea, Im sure in the long term De Gea will eventually be better but Krul has made Zero mistakes all season ,in fact he's been the best keeper in the league making saves he's had no right to

    hes about 3 miles offside there and the look of disbelief hes gotten away with it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,906 ✭✭✭✭PhlegmyMoses


    Krul has of course made mistakes. You just don't see them because his profile is not as high as De Gea's and also because you don't watch every single minute of Newcastle's games like yo do with Manchester United.

    Clearly being played on, no? :confused:

    I think he was more surprised that his feet had done what they did.
