I'm not too sure of Obertan. Bordeaux doesn't want that guy around, he was loaned out this season when they were fighting for the league. Anyway I don't trust youtube clips, as they highlight only his best moments.

Well, it's not like we're buying/expecting him to straight away make an impact in the 1st team. It's one for the future, and for 3m, it's quite cheap in todays market for a supposedly top talent a while back. While youtube clips do tend to show those moments only, it does highlight that he does have the ability in him that we can work on.

It's not a slight on him he was loaned out. We loaned out Rossi to Newcastle once and he couldn't get in their team. Then went on to Parma and helped them avoid relegation. We can only judge him if we've seen him plenty of time I suppose, which I'm sure none of us have watched him other than a couple of clips. Let's just wait what lies in store for us.. maybe we're gonna be the first to witness him in United colours. Looking forward to it.

I'm not too sure,  most likely I would say.

Anyway, has there been a tastier man than this guy?

to me what we need to sign now is another solid backup defender..i doubt the fitness of gary+brown..
maybe brown can be fit this time on,but i still think that we need a good prospect centre defender
maybe sakho?howedes?or another young italian,who knows ;P
fergie does have reputation for capturing "mini" azzuris

You may be right to be worried if it was the Wes of old, but apart from last season where he was unlucky to get a long injury lay off, he's been fine. Not as injury prone as he was before. Options for CB: Rio, Vidic, Evans, Brown, O'Shea. Defence is the least of our worries. Those above along with Rafael, Gary, Evra, Fabio and the other reserve defenders.. we have more than enough.

RB = Wes, Rafael, Gary, O'Shea
CB = Rio, Vidic, Evans, Wes, O'Shea
LB = Evra, O'Shea, Fabio..

9 players for 4 positions. Adding more would be overkill..

in my opinion,fergie will adapt to 442 for the start of next season.to me adding another cm will not be good for players that will need games to grow in our team such as andy. carrick is already a 1st teamer.only one place to fight for andy+fletch+scholes n even giggs. hargo lagi (if he heals faster than we expect) ;P
In my eyes for sure the other spot will not automatically be andy's. so if we do bought another cm,kesian la sama andy..lme2 jadi mcm tevez..rugi..haihz..for me not this season la,mayb 2010/11 where scholes and giggs MAYBE will not be as inflentual as recent season so other player can take their place
UNLESS fergie want to adapt with 433 like most of last season,then we need someone like yaya perhaps. but i dont see that coming. fergie just bought 2 wingers n that shows the 442 is more likely.rooney wont be on the wing this time around.there is 5 wingers at the club already excluding those who also can play as winger like rooney and welbeck
just my 2cents smile.gif
*
We only play 433 in the big games. For the other matches it's usually 442, with Ronaldo having the license to not track back. We'll just replace Ronaldo with Valencia in the side, and it'll be the same like last season formation on paper. Only this time the approach and tactics will be different.

It's not really about the money though, although that helps. He's not that kind of a person IMO. He's been with us for 6 years and he always said he prefers the Spanish league. Real just opened that door for him, and it's easy to say yes to that in his position.

New #7? Old news.. It's Fletcher.

Wonder if SAF is gonna surprise us and give it to Welbeck.. with Owen getting 19. If that happens, then we'll know why SAF doesn't get another star striker.

More Obertan hype..
QUOTE(Murkurial;1527026)
Is the rest of the French U21 squad just that average or is this guy really that good? I watched the first half (so far) of the U21 Friendly between England and France and there was really only one other guy (#10) who came close to impressing me as much as Obertan did (and to be honest a few stepovers and fired some shots over bar). Compared to Obertan nobody else seems to know what the hell they're doing. Almost feels like everyone knows that he's the one that gonna get things going.

Some may think that those plays in the Chile game above are simply isolated highlights to make the kid look good but from what I've seen so far from him in the match I'm watching, he's by far the best player on the entire squad and I don't think I'd be going too far in saying that we should probably get this kid into the team as quickly as we did with Ronaldo to see what he's got.

He's lacking the end product, much like Ron was early on, but he seems to be something of a maestro when it comes to getting around people. Where Alexis Sanchez would trip over the ball or just fire in a wild cross, Obertan is incredibly calm and composed and threads in some f***ing pinpoint passes.

Get him playing early.
Shame he's injured. Would be nice to really see him in action here. Guess it's better him than Owen getting that bad luck early on.. laugh.gif

Sir Alex need to beef up the midfield. Too lightweight, IMO.

Hopefully Owen's injury days are over. Really need someone of his calibre to perform. Cant just rely on the youngsters.

Fletcher>Hargreaves.

Okay, back to MU stuff.  whistling.gif  Hmm...Is Tevez really going? It has dragged on for quite some time now.

No idea about Tevez. Probably still cursing SAF somewhere rather than focusing of getting himself a new club.

Sunderland to beat Hull to United striker
QUOTE
Sky Sports News understands Sunderland have agreed a fee with Manchester United for Fraizer Campbell.

United are thought to have accepted a bid in the region of £5million for Campbell as Steve Bruce looks to make the striker his first signing at the Stadium of Light.

Hull had been leading the chase for Campbell after agreeing a deal with United earlier this summer, but now Sunderland hope to beat their Premier League rivals to the 21-year-old.

Campbell spent most of last season on loan at Tottenham as a makeweight in the deal that took Dimitar Berbatov to Old Trafford.

Bruce has made striking reinforcements one of his top priorities on Wearside after deciding not to take up the option to sign Djbril Cisse on a permanent basis.

Campbell is now expected to travel to Sunderland to hold talks and undergo a medical ahead of a possible move to the Stadium of Light.

Bruce is also thought to be interested in signing Portsmouth's Peter Crouch and Tottenham's Darren Bent as he looks to bolster his squad for the start of the new season.

He's only 18. At that age, Ronaldo started his career with us. Tall, skinny, skillful.. biggrin.gif I'm getting excited. Hope SAF don't get another striker and give it a go with Welbeck as the 4th choice.

The clubs can buy till end of August right? Still plenty of time.. right now most are probably in negotiations, or tapping up mode. It will heat up in the final weeks.

good ball control, young and 1.9m. very promising indeed!
seem to be a good buy for us.

btw, any news about the berba + 20m for aguiero?

Probably bollocks! biggrin.gif No way we would let Berba(after just one season) go, and get another shorty for 20m(+ Berba).

6 days, 20 hours, 56 minutes left... park somewhere at Pertama/Sogo then go by LRT. What time are you guys going to be there? Will try to be there at 4.30. And wait for the stadium to fill up. Should be fun.. biggrin.gif

The rm98 one, green gate. Still dunno how I'll get back though.. probably will walk to Sri Petaling and take the train from there rather than the Bkt Jalil station.

Atletico - No bids for Aguero
President determined to keep hold of club's best players
QUOTE
Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has denied reports that Manchester United have made an offer for Sergio Aguero.

Argentine striker Aguero has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford as the Premier League champions look to increase their attacking options after losing Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez.

Reports had claimed that United had offered £30million plus Portuguese winger Nani in an attempt to persuade Atletico to sell.

However, Cerezo has dismissed the latest bout of speculation and confirmed he had not received a bid from United for Aguero.

Cerezo also outlined his determination to keep hold of the club's key players after Barcelona acknowledged an interest in former Red Devils striker Diego Forlan.

"Manchester United has not made any offers for 'Kun' [Aguero] - and we will not sell any player," Cerezo told Marca.

"We will not sell Aguero, Forlan, Simao - because we don't want to sell any of our players.

"We will keep all of our players because we are very good as we are and we have a great team."

The end. biggrin.gif
