Posted by unregistered user: DeadRevelagreed about first touches. So many times this season attacks have broken down, possession lost…. painful to watch at times. Main culprits – Hernandez, Rooney, Welbeck, Giggs, Jones.
But Berba whose first touch is incredible never gets played… go figure.

Cleverley and anderson did that at the start of the season, until injuries and Burger King took their toll.
Remember that goal against City in the Community Shield? That sort of creativity ended in September and never really started again.

“Eden Hazard has stressed that he is still not ready to deliver news on his destination. In an interview with Gazet van Antwerpen, he stated: “I do not know when a decision is made about my future club. Anyway, it will be between Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea. The final choice also depends on how much play I would get and the position where I’m played.” The Lille star says his favoured role is the ‘No10′ just behind a striker and he looks set to fulfil that position for Belgium in the next two friendlies.”Hmmm… I wonder if that’s a snipe at United and City….
City because he might not play very much, United because he might be played out of position.
Still reckon City are favourites but he does genuinely seem to care about more than money. In a way that makes it worse if he picks City over United.
Am I the only cunt who doesn't want this pissflap anywhere near our team? he sounds like a right smug big head who will be nothing but drama! Do you think Fergie will guarantee him a starting place and his favourite position?? No chance. Let's move on.
Earnshaw???

Would you rather someone who's just in it for the money?

You've compared Fletcher to ToureKnobhead won't be happy
And he shouldn't be... that's like comparing Park to Silva.

He's a cocky little sod, no doubt... and we don't want that sort at United... no sir... no more Ronaldos, Cantonas, Rooneys...
Come on Brian... I can guarantee, that most of what you read about him is encouraged by his agent... if he's really that good... and knows it... then why not play the game, and get EXACTLY what you want...???
I admit, the money part gets on my nerves... players of his calibre will earn money by the truck load, playing for ANY of the top clubs... but I can understand him wanting to explore the type of team he'll be joining, how they're going to use him and how much he'll play... makes perfect sense to me.

Member Posted by unregistered user: Brownin 2years time, Paul Pogba will be much more outstanding than most of these players we have been ranting about including Mr Hazardous. We didnt do enough to keep the lad, he should have gotten more games this season. Juventus!!! ridiculous, something really isnt right here. Hope he doesnt come back to haunt us. I would have loved to see him blossom at united. Fergie should sign Fellaini to cover for kagawas defensive frailties.

Member Posted by unregistered user: Denton DaveyComparing Toure/Fletcher is valid in my opinion because both guys have been the integral component to their team’s success.
When YaYa was in Africa the Bitters struggled; when Fletcherinho has been missing TheLads have not been able to contain a pressing opponent – and have lost most of the time.
So, the comparison relates to value-to-the-team and NOT actual ability or playing style.
Like I wrote earlier, Hazard good; Kagawa better; but Fletcherinho BEST ! His absence is the elephant-in-the-room. NoFletch/NoWin – look it up.
In terms of the preceding discussion, I’d have to come down on Calvino’s side – adding Sandro would be a HUGE step forward. A massively under-rated player. Most of the other likely-lads – Gokan Inler of Napoli, M’Vila, Javi Martinez – require a better “scouting vision” than I possess. But from what I’ve seen, Sandro (or maybe Johan Cabaye, for different reasons) are the two EPL players who would add a lot to this UTD squad. Of course, YaYa would add more – but he wants to go back to Barcelona !

Member From sky sports Reports emanating from France are now claiming Chelsea are now at the front of the queue ahead of Manchester City and Manchester United for Lille ace Eden Hazard. This transfer saga should be concluded soon with the player set to make an announcement on his future next week
Hope he goes to us though....I know my pitch to him: Big club, big brand, big name, and you'll be our marquee player to bring us back to glory times...

By the way, Hazard has suggested that he will play on a team where he is the no. 10. So unless SAF plans to sell Rooney, that's that.I think he was referring to his No. 10 role with Belgium
But that's OK, I don't think any less of you (and it's difficult to get much less than zero anyway)

Baloo – the question/answer was far more about his role than the nominal number. He wasn’t to play as a ’10′ – the role Fergie has identified for him, with Rooney moving back to number 9 etc. I watched Lille half-a-dozen times in the past season and never once saw him play there, but apparently he does.

Ed - yeah, I saw a few quotes relating to the actual 'position' but then saw this quote on Red News (not sure where it came from - it's not attributed):
Eden Hazard again scores - this time for Belgium against Montenegro and again says where he plays crucial to move
"I also had the most assists in the League, and I never believed I could possibly come up with such a fantastic set of statistics. Certainly, I could not have made such a decisive contribution, had the coach at Lille not changed my position. It is all down to that. I have always dreamed of playing the number 10 role, and wearing that number on my back, and you can see what a difference it makes from how many goals I have scored and set up for others. That will be a consideration when I decide on my club. Where I will play will influence my thinking on who I should join."
Hopefully, as you say, the literal number thing is a throw-away comment.
Am I an idiot to start getting a weirdly positive feeling about this one...?

Baloo - it will be an excellent victory for romance over money, but until I see uncle Fergie gurning like a simpleton while that Belgian's signature is dried on a freshly cut 5 year contract, I'd hold off on the hope. And the dreams.
And really anything to do with the young man.

Moderator The more I see that we're interested in Hazard... the more I worry about us selling Rooney.
That would be just like the Glazers and Ferguson...
Impress the hell out of the fans by making this great new signing... spending some serious money... £35mill transfer, and £150k in wages... and the crowd goes wild...
Then out of nowhere, Rooney gets sold... £40/50mill recouped, and £200+k wiped off the payroll... and stories suspiciously emerge that Rooney forced the move... which he strenuously denies... but everyone remembers his demanding a move last year so... he ends up looking the bad guy...
And the Glazers come out of it financially better off.

Actually that wouldn't really surprise me that much, not so much because of the Glazer factor, but because towards the end of last season his body language suggested he was becoming increasingly frustrated and disillusioned, even when he was scoring the goals he didn't seem like he was enjoying it, and we already had his little attempted exit last year or the year before (whenever it was) because he was (understandably) frustrated by the lack of big-name signings.
If it does come to be, the way I reckon it'll be portrayed is that Rooney no longer fits into out plans (and to be fair, his form towards the end of last season was pretty poor despite the goals he scored, whether that's due to his frustration at the lack of team investment or some serious distraction in his personal life that's yet to come to light), and that Hazard is younger and hungrier for success. If Hazard does pick United (and that is still a big if) then it would surely show a certain amount of desire and ambition to be part of something historic rather than just going where the money is. I'd be curious to see where Rooney would go though if this did happen. Fergie would never let him go to City as long as he's manager, so presumably that'd leave Real Madrid and Barcelona as the only viable options.
