I turn 30 in 2 weeks! Enjoy your 20s ****ers

shadowcomplex · 20-03-2014 08:12PM

Whoever we get, we are going to have to play 3 midfielders in every game. Rooney is going to have to play deeper than ever. Id personally like this formation, getting the central 3 to press at every oppourtunity

Dea Gea

Rafael

Vidic/Rio

Jones

Evra

fellaini

Rooney

Cleverley

Nani

RVP

welbeck

No doubt we are going to need 3 in midfield. Don't see Nani could possibly start. Not due back for another week or two so won't be up an running by then. Don't see what Cleverly offers. Also think Jones has looked suspect, assuming Evans is back, he would slot in for me.

I would personally go for below, it does lack a bit of pace but Kagawa should help control the tempo. Never going to happen tho:

Dea Gea

Rafael

Vidic

Evans

Evra

Fellaini

Kagawa

Carrick

Welbeck

Rooney

RVP

Backstreet Moyes · 20-03-2014 08:36PM

DDG

Raf Vidic Jones/Evans Evra

Fellaini Carrick Giggs/jones

Wellbeck Rooney

RVP

vidic is a no no for me anymore....not fast enough and doesnt have the same positional sense as rio.... jones or smalling must start with evans if he is fit. cleverly should be no where near starting 11 anymore proved it time and time again not good enough.

bangkok · 20-03-2014 08:58PM

just seen there that Schmelzer is also missing for dortmund got injured last night and will be out of the next champions league match.........

Vidic is a level above every other defender we have. My only reason for not playing him would be because he is leaving.

bangkok · 20-03-2014 09:09PM

i dont think he (vidic) is the same player any more since his cruciate.... i think johnny evans is a top player and the sooner he back the better.

was just looking at the 8 teams that qualified for the last 8 last night... is it the first time in champ league history that all the teams that topped their group got through to last 8?? also getting to the last 8 guarantees man utd at least another 6-8m in revenue....

also, not that man utd need it, but any potential transfer target in the summer looking at the final 8 and seeing man utd still there can only be a good thing no matter what happens in the last 8 games. that comeback last night would have gone all over european newspapers as another classic man utd comeback....

The_Kew_Tour · 20-03-2014 09:11PM

Its been 3 years since we have got this far.

Feels bit weird.:)

DM_7 · 20-03-2014 09:13PM

Imagine if Chelsea decided that they were not playing Drogba when he was leaving.

Vidic is still an important player, a brilliant defender and is still captain, for me he should continue to play.

Lord TSC · 20-03-2014 09:28PM

He should play if the only options are him and Rio.

He should not be captain; how can the rest of the team be expected to follow a leader who has already signed a contract with another club?

In fairness, the other option for captain is someone who leads by not putting in a proper shift on the pitch.

Vidic is still our best CB. Smalling Jones and Evans should be rotated together for all the PL games as we have nothing to play for. In the CL, everything is to play for and we have to start our best 11, we cannot get hung up on principals. Jones, Smalling and Evans (to a much lesser extent) would be ripped apart.

Is Rooney not an obvious choice. He would be well able to **** a player out of it if he wasn't pulling his weight.

Would the cost of sacking Moyes potentially be £30m considering he has 5 years left on a £6m a year deal?

Would imagine that there is clauses to cut him for cheaper if he fails to hit targets

He has lost lot of pace though and is very easily turned so if he plays it has to be with likes of Evans beside him to cover his possible exposure.

Nah, United aren't Chelsea

I'd be surprised if he did tbh. Most top clubs don't operate with clauses like that. Most likely he'd get paid as normal on his current contract until he finds a new job.

No but a contract is a contract!

Assuming there are no performance related clauses allowing United to terminate his contract, and he was sacked, he'd probably settle with them and have roughly half that paid out, allowing him take up another job.

Alternatively, he could go down the Roberto Di Matteo route, and continue to get paid as before, but preclude himself from taking another job. If he did opt for the latter, he wouldn't be paid off, but paid in instalments as per his salary over the length of the contract

Will I Amnt · 20-03-2014 10:49PM

I would be very surprised if there are no stipulations such as minimum requirements that would allow him to be sacked without having to be paid off so much.
If nothing else, the Glazers are very good business men.

While I agree that that would be logical, I can't think of another instance in football where that has been the case
