As much as I thankful for his 2 years wonderful service. I will just take it as players come and go.

Everybody comes to Old Trafford are not guaranteed a 100% first team place. They have to fight for it.

We are a big clubs that have enough games in a season to let everyone plays. They just have to be patient and if can't. Too bad, the club is bigger than any player.

Ribery has already signalled his intention to join RM.

We probably need to plan a Robbery to get Ribery

Owen is good when he is not injured. Problem is always injury but a free agent plus medium wage... why not???

Yeah... then we will have our own OR - Original Recipe...

We shall let our opponents taste our OR

Last time Ronaldo was the one keep pushing forward and Rooney had to play on the left flank most of the time. This time Ronaldo is gone and Valencia is not a Ronaldo's type of player.... It could be this time the scoring responsibility will be more towards our strikers. Rooney should be returning back to his usual role.

We will then see our strikers producing and I am sure Berbatov will be producing something special in next season.

However, this does not mean Ronaldo affecting our Berba's play but rather the game play has been a bit different when Ronaldo was around. No doubt Ronaldo has contributed a lot to our success last few seasons and we greatly appreciate and thankful for that.

So ladies and gentleman, please welcome Michael Owen.

We have nothing to lose anyway and Owen has a lot to gain from European football, top flight BPL and other Cups as well. Do not forget that even if a striker like Owen is not our first-choice but he will still be given a reasonable amount of matches to play considering the number of matches we have to play in each season which made it not possible for any human to play all.

Man Utd certainly can offer this to him (provided he performs)!

Be proud of our dear SAF..

Man Utd is not a club that is easy to be managed. Yes although we may have more budgets compare to other BPL clubs but it is still not easy when it comes to competing against Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal where our place are famous of not-good-weather where Chelsea and Arsenal are all in London where the areas are already an added advantage.

Do not forget that some players do consider their family too and some of their family may not like Manchester due to weather factors and others that may affect the player's mind to come here. It is not purely about money issue most of the time.

Furthermore in England tax are high.. and Real Madrid and Barca definitely have a plus plus in this area (although historically both of us are great)

But still for a club like us, SAF has done it superb well and I have to say I am afraid he will call it a day someday and I wonder who can really replace someone like SAF.

Actually we already have good midfielders.. Lack of the holding/def role left by Keano... Who was supposed to be filled in by Hargo.

We missed Hargo especially on the final match. Carrick is not really Keano type..

From the flanks we can be as good as anyone in fact...

If he were to leave 1 season earlier I might shock and disappointed.
But I am rather prepared this time and I felt nothing when he decided to leave.

As we know he will not forever be here, at least we have the right price and the club still need to move on.

Come to think on the good part, as long as Ronaldo is here... we might not be able to see the best of Rooney.

Perhaps that's the reason he is nicknamed "Fergie's Best Kept Secret" ?
