AS the world's biggest and richest club, Manchester United reach a global fanbase.

Part of the attraction for fans around the world has been the football luminaries, such as George Best and Sir Bobby Charlton, who have graced the Old Trafford turf in a Manchester United shirt over the years.

Recently, Manchester United have continued to attract or develop some of the game's biggest names, with England stalwarts such as Paul Scholes and David Beckham having been regular fixtures in the Reds line-up.

The Manchester United team, past and present, reads like a who's who of world football.

It is only fitting that a great team should grace a great stadium. And with Old Trafford's recent development and the closure of Wembley, the ground is easily the largest in English football, holding in excess of 60,000 fans.

Despite this capacity, the demand to see United in action is so great that tickets are hard to come by.

But it isn't only Manchester United fans who flock to Old Trafford. The standard of the ground is such that it regularly hosts high-profile games, most notably, the Champions League Final and Great Britain rugby league games.

Rock fans have also made use of the Reds's facilities, watching a number of high-profile acts at the ground.

But it's football that will forever be synonymous with the Reds famous ground - and with good reason.

The last decade has seen Manchester United under the shrewd leadership of Sir Alex Ferguson maintain a virtual stranglehold on the Premiership crown.

Manchester United has won the league no fewer than 17 times in their history - 10 times in the last 11 seasons. They are also Cup Kings too, winning the FA cup 11 times, the league cup twice, as well as winning the European Super Cup, European Cup Winner's Cup, and 3 times being crowned European Cup champions.

Manchester United has long become a name associated with success both on and off the pitch.

As club profits continue to grow, Manchester United have become one of the richest sports clubs on the planet.

With supporters club branches on every continent, it's hard to go any where in the world and not see somebody wearing the famous red shirt of Manchester United.

QUOTE(zenix @ Nov 24 2009, 09:18 PM)
Hope Alien will sticky this info later.
Though written in 2006 so no Roy Keane yet.

Ex-United players that have moved on to become managers.

Written by Simon Stone (MARCH 22, 2006)

STEVE BRUCE (1987-1996): Took his first steps in management with Sheffield United in 1998, then swiftly moved on to Huddersfield, Wigan and Crystal Palace. Left Selhurst Park in acrimonious fashion after Birmingham targeted him as the replacement for Trevor Francis in 1991. Took Blues into the Premier League but after a heavy FA Cup defeat is struggling to keep his job.

MARTIN POWELL (1971-1983): Stylish and well-respected Scotland centre-half whose authoritative nature appeared to make him a natural for the management game. Lasted four months at Burnley.

SIR BOBBY CHARLTON (1956-1973): Arguably the finest English player of all time proved to be an unmitigated disaster as a manager. Claimed he was not given the resources to make a decent job of it at Preston but was never lured back into management following his departure after a single season.

STEVE COPPELL (1975-1983): After a knee injury cut his playing career short at just 28, Coppell turned his attention to management. Steered Crystal Palace into the FA Cup final and then third place in the old First Division - the Eagles' highest ever - the following season. It was the first of four stints in charge at Selhurst Park in a career which has seen him move to Manchester City (for only six games), Brentford and Brighton. Now at Reading and about to steer the Royals into the top flight for the first time.

PADDY CRERAND (1962-1971): A key figure in United's 1968 European Cup triumph, Crerand lasted five months at Northampton before getting the bullet and, like Charlton, never managed again.

MARK HUGHES (1983-86, 1988-95): Hughes was never tipped as a manager by Ferguson but has taken to the game with ease. Took Wales into the Euro 2004 play-offs. Took over at Blackburn shortly afterwards, steering Rovers away from danger in his first season. Currently in contention for a Champions League spot.

BRIAN KIDD (1967-1974): Another European Cup winner who proved to be a poor manager. Got itchy feet in 1998 after spending seven years as Sir Alex Ferguson's highly-rated assistant. Took command at Blackburn but dismissed six months later.

BRYAN ROBSON (1981-94): United's inspirational leader under Ron Atkinson and Ferguson. There are two schools of thought on his stint at Middlesbrough - he either spent lots and achieved little (relegation and two losing finals) or he laid the platform for the Teessiders to become an established Premiership outfit. Kept West Brom up in extraordinary fashion last year but back in trouble again this season.

GORDON STRACHAN (1984-89): Scotland international who won the FA Cup with United and the title of the pre-Premiership era with Leeds. Sacked after five years at when the Sky Blues lost top-flight status, then enjoyed success at Southampton - reaching the 2003 Cup final - before resigning to spend more time with his family. Now at Celtic, has recovered from a humiliating Champions League exit to Artmedia Bratislava, and, after winning his first trophy on Sunday in the CIS Insurance Cup, is set to clinch the Scottish Premier League.

NOBBY STILES (1960-71): Along with Charlton, one of only two Englishmen to have won the World Cup and European Cup, he replaced his former England and United team-mate at Preston, with limited success. After a brief stint in Vancouver, returned to England to take over as manager of West Brom. Sacked after five months, having gained just three wins.

Hi alien, I uploaded the Scholes Centurion video (a compilation of all 100 goals he scored throughout his career in Man United).

If it's allowed, I thought why not share with other forummers by posting the link in the first few posts. The link is : http://rapidshare.com/files/367460321/PS_Cntrn1x0.rar =)

Wow Valencia benched.. SAF must've fired him off after his performance in the first couple of games. But Nani back on the right where he was amazing last season,should be exciting.

woohoo new thread~ biggrin.gif

comfortable win, and no drama day for us.i see 3 key moments that will our 3 goals scorer in the long rn.those goals will do wonders for their confidence.rooney finally scoring and silencing all the sounds that has been pestering him about his period of no goals, nani putting his pk miss behind, and berba with a beautiful goal.

but im a bit critical on his play.he is still choosing style over substance and i fear that might lead us to rue if things dont go our way.its a fine line to walk but he must know when to do what in order to bring home the results for the club.

well were off to a 2 week break before a hectic period of games in domestic and european fronts. laugh.gif

p.s: anyone notice grant giving the infamous middle finger scratch at the telle. brows.gif

good game. liked how we kept it clean sheet. nothing much to complain here. maybe we should've score more but 3-0 was enough for me. dont think rooney would've scored in this game if it was not the penalty. nice to see him back by the way and finally got a goal after 5 months. also well done to our back four. they did what the could even when there was some shaky moments but they still kept it tight. looking foward to the next match againts everton which is an away match after the international matches. dont think its gonna be an easy game at everton but i hope united win the game and keep up the pressure againts the leaders and other close oppenents.

not worth having scholes in fantasy football. He won't score often. He won't directly assist, he mostly pump the ball forward to the flanks. I think Nani is better

Now watch Wayne go

QUOTE
Wayne Rooney got his goals tally off the mark against West Ham, simultaneously shushing his critics and starting what his team-mates expect will be a fruitful spell in front of goal for the Reds no.10.

Considering his incredible scoring exploits last season, it’s surprising that Rooney has come in for negative press over a lean spell that has last 13 games, for some of which he was struggling with an injury. He’s only played in two league games this season and is still honing his fitness after missing pre-season.

While there was no great concern about his wait to start scoring again from inside the Reds camp, his colleagues were still pleased he’s got his season tally up and running.

Ryan Giggs, who won the penalty that Rooney converted against the Hammers, said: “It’s only the third game of the season, and he’s only played in two of them. But a goalscorer is a goalscorer and, especially with the season he had last year, he was keen to get off the mark. I’m sure he’ll start putting the ball away quite regularly now.”

Nani’s salient assessment is that Rooney is a confidence player: “It was important he scored. He’s a player who needs goals. This goal will give him more confidence for the games coming up.”

But Sir Alex says it’s his all-round game that he is focusing on, and more minutes under his belt that will inevitably lead to his best form. “Strikers want to score,” the boss said. “He took his penalty well. But it's his performance we should be talking about. He needs football, he needs games. That 90 minutes will do him no end of good. He'll get a couple of games for England now too, and that will help him for when he returns for some big games coming up.”

Nani's perfect riposte

QUOTE
Nani will be far happier tonight after a Man of the Match, goalscoring display in a 3-0 win over West Ham than he was last Sunday evening after a missed penalty and a 2-2 draw at Fulham.

The Portuguese winger was outstanding at Old Trafford and showed that he was unaffected by his missed spot-kick.

“We always enjoy ourselves when we’re scoring,” Nani told MUTV. “We had a draw last week and we were focused on getting the win. We played some good stuff and we won, so we’re happy. We could have scored a couple more goals, but the result is good for us.

“I was so excited to score my goal. I’ve missed a few opportunities so I was really hungry to get my goal. I was really happy to score and I want to continue to get goals to help the team. I want to push on this season, and I’ve been really looking forward to it. That’s why I’m working so hard.”

The Reds now go on international duty, but Nani insists it was important that, after last weekend’s dropped points, United remained in touch with Chelsea.

“Chelsea and the other teams are doing well, so we need to keep up with them,” the winger said. “We have to keep up with Chelsea. If they win, we have to win as well. We don’t want to lose any points, so that is why we are working hard to win every game.”

Boss delight at team play

QUOTE
Sir Alex Ferguson said United’s 3-0 win over West Ham was littered with individual excellence, but crucially was characterised by team-play.

United’s goalscorers Nani, Dimitar Berbatov and Wayne Rooney, among others, can all be pleased with their personal contributions. But it was the performance as a collective had the manager waxing lyrical after the game.

“It was a very good performance and our possession of the ball was good,” said the boss. “The team performance pleased me most. They all wanted the ball, they wanted to pass and move. It was a good, collective performance.”

Nani was given the Man of the Match award by the host TV station, ESPN, and Sir Alex was delighted with the Portuguese winger’s performance on the right side of midfield.

“It was a terrific goal from Nani, a marvellous goal,” the boss said. “It’s a problem for me because he prefers playing on the right, but [Antonio] Valencia’s form has been outstanding too. It gives us a bit of a problem.”

Nani scored United’s second goal and made the third, a perfectly executed scissor-kick, for Dimitar Berbatov. “It was a really good goal from Berbatov as well,” added the boss. “He has got fantastic technique. He orchestrated a lot of our football today – Dimitar and Paul Scholes both did. That contribution doesn’t go unnoticed.”

There was also a welcome return to the scoresheet for Rooney. He’d gone 13 games – for club and country – without scoring a goal. But Sir Alex was never overly concerned by those statistics, instead looking at hi striker’s overall contribution.

“It was good Wayne got the goal, but his performance was the important thing for me,” he said. “He enjoyed his football and he was full of energy. That’s good because he’s not had a lot of football and he had a virus last week. But he trained all week and looked more like himself.

“Overall we were pleased with the team performance,” the boss concluded. “We had so many near-openings on the edge of the box that could have come to something that it’s always good to get that first goal. That opens the door for you. We had to wait a while for the second goal, but we didn’t stop playing our football. We deserved to go in front and we deserved to win. It was a good performance.”

Fantastic quote on your siggy choy! biggrin.gif

Scholes till he's 40? A bit hard I imagined. But certainly another few seasons is very doable if his fitness level, health and form are good. Same goes for Giggsy and VDS. I don't see why it should be a 'problem' to still have to rely on them. They are the top 3-5 players in their respective position in the history of the club and probably in the top 20 in the world?.. and they can still perform to a very good level consistently. It's no shame. It's a credit to the club and the players themselves to have been able to still produce at their ages when most players over 30 are almost back at the bottom of the mountain.

Tottenham Fail In Surprise Move For Manchester United Defender Rio Ferdinand - Report

It would appear that Harry Redknapp made discreet enquiries over the availability of Ferdinand but United boss Sir Alex Ferguson reportedly told the former Portsmouth manager that the defender is not for sale.

It is also believed that Tottenham’s medical staff have even assessed Ferdinand’s injuries and believe that they could get 100 games over two seasons out of the England captain.

That led to Redknapp being convinced that Ferdinand was the signing he needed but United are apparently not willing to sell.

Ferdinand was again on the sidelines as the Red Devils brushed aside West Ham United 3-0 to move to third in the Premier League table.

mmm a long shot but better prey that not many gets a call up is safer bet haha laugh.gif

as about rooney on form or not, some say scoring a pk doesnt count.so shall we look back last week when some of our lot were getting pissed at a pk miss.so when we score them it becomes unimportant, but when we dont score them suddenly its life safer, one off chance and etc etc.scoring that pk wont show now but, the main one who prospers from this is wayne.it would do wonders to his confidence in taking the next step to scoring more goals.its never a small thing when a forward scores, no matter wch way it came from.

if youve been watching wayne long enough, he always goes trough a dry period, but once he gets that one, the monkeys off and so is the persistent bother that he hasnt score.wayne is still our man for me any day.

he has the quality, technical skills, its just in the past his play lets us down more often.but there is a new vigour to his play this season, tho we only have seen 3 games its an improvement compared to the previous ones.

tho we havent reached the high stakes stage yet, and so far only 1 tough situation has passed(fulham last week) a more cautious approach is needed.he needs to prove his worth in those situation when we need him most.

here's to berbs being constant and not run out of steam early.

City is still considered a serious threat this season IMO. Sunderland shows us that EPL is becoming more competitive - more teams are capable to stun the heavyweights here ( well City isn't there yet ).

Vida is a regular while Giggs will be in and out of the team. If Rio is fit, he would probably be the one to lead the team probably. But Gary is still the official captain right?

Vida is a regular while Giggs will be in and out of the team. If Rio is fit, he would probably be the one to lead the team probably. But Gary is still the official captain right?

spot on.another way to look at it is a trust of faith in vida to lead the line.it should give him a sense of pride that the gaffers handing it to him. nod.gif

i dont think football is as rigid as that or as formal.i mean were not the military where the higher ups rule the ppl below, hold the power etc etc.we do have some sort of leadership but its a final word from the gaffer.as for players i think every single one of them are on the same par.

if the gaffer decides its best vida takes the captaincy then thats what the other lads agree to. laugh.gif i think vida has the leadership qualities to get the job done.who ever the captain is i think they can get the job done.besides being captain doesnt entitle a player to do any less of a work nor boss some one around.they help the team just as the others.the team comes before any player. nod.gif

that also means that the gaffer final words to giggs was that his not really the official vice captain.

so, you have an official captain and vice captain in a club but at the same time, any players in that club can be captain/vice captain on the pitch when an official captain/vice captain is also on the pitch at the same time. is that how it works ?

to me, when you named someone as an official captain/vice captain, that person is the one. unless of course his not in the starting eleven.

if you named someone as an official captain/vice captain and his in the first starting eleven but not the captain/vice captain, then its better not to named any official captain/vice captain.

its better off just saying that anyone can be a captain/vice captain at any time and for any matches.

thats just me though. diffrent people may see this diffrently.

aa when was it official???it was a more of a norm that the gaffer passed it to giggs but i think its just whom fergie sees as fit for the armband and he gave it to that player.thats what i meant by were not rigid, the flexibility not to follow as per book(tho is there a rule that u need to name them etc etc besides on match day). thumbup.gif .we have seen rooney with the arm band, vds, giggs, vida now.its an evolving thing for me, the captains armband. icon_rolleyes.gif

Papers: Rodwell on Reds' radar?

United target £10m Rodwell
Manchester United are eyeing a bid for Everton teenager Jack Rodwell. Boss Alex Ferguson is set to offer £10million plus out-of-favour Michael Carrick before the window closes tomorrow. Everton are desperate to hold on to the Under-21 ace but may find the deal too tempting. Rodwell, 19, is a central midfielder but can also play at centre-half and has been compared to a young Rio Ferdinand. United have been unsure whether to go for the player now or wait until the end of this campaign when he has another season under his belt. But they fear in a year's time his value will have rocketed which is why they may move before the transfer window closes. Rodwell has been at Goodison since he was seven and became the club's youngest player in Europe when he was 16. He made his Premier League debut in March 2008 and scored last season in their 3-1 home win over United.
Neil Custis, The Sun

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail claims Wigan want to sign United midfielder Tom Cleverly on loan.

In other news, there are reports of a general strike taking place in Valencia on the day United are in town for the Champions League clash - 29 September. The club have confirmed that they are aware of this and are waiting for news from Valencia.

Reds must stay on goal trail - Nani

QUOTE
Man of the match Nani deflected the praise for his champagne performance and paid tribute to his Manchester United colleagues.

The 23-year-old scored his first goal for the Reds since last February to help ease United to the 3-0 success against West Ham.

“I enjoyed it. You always enjoy it when you score. We played some good stuff and we won.

“It was a good game for everyone. If we win, we score brilliant goals, it is because everyone did an important job.

“It was a comfortable win. We could have scored a couple more goals but the result was good for us. Maybe before the end of the season we can score more goals.

“I was so excited to score. I had a lot of opportunities. I was angry with myself but the goal arrived and that made me happy. I want to continue scoring goals.

“We have to follow Chelsea. When they win, we have to win as well if we want to be at the top of the league. We can’t afford to lose any points. That is why we are working hard to win every game.”

While Nani played down his contribution, Ryan Giggs wasn’t so reticent.

“It was a really good performance from Nani,” said the veteran.

“His positional play was good. He was staying out wide and getting the crosses in. He ran inside. He scored a goal and made one. He could have had a few more.

“I was really pleased for him today. He deserved man-of-the-match.

“We all feel that as a team we need to score a lot more goals. We cannot just rely on Wayne as we did last year. Dimitar Berbatov has started on fire. All the midfield need to chip in, defenders, everyone.

“Obviously we would have liked nine points to start with but it’s not to be. In our two home games we have played some really good football.

“It could have been better but the previous two seasons we have been beaten at Fulham so maybe it was a point gained last week at Craven Cottage.

“We still have Rio Ferdinand to come in and Gary Neville and Anderson. It is a headache for the manager but it is one that he would rather have than be struggling for players.

“We are going to need everyone, it is a long season and the manager realises that.”

yeah... it's something like Gary Neville is club captain, Giggs/Rio/Vidic/Evra/OShea is team captain.
Team captain can be changed from time to time. Well we dont have to bother on the captaincy too much, try give Scholes the armband... he will thought that as a punishment hahahaa
I remember last time during Keane era, whenever Giggs gets the captaincy, we will not get a good result from the match sweat.gif
For me, Giggs isn't a a natural captain but his behaviour and determination on the pitch earn him the respect from his teammates... well at least they will respect the elders also what

Before this the official line was Gary as the captain, Giggs as the vice, and after that given to seniority(except for some cases like with Scholes). But who knows maybe SAF decided to change it up this season although I guess Gary is still the official captain being English and homegrown. Its just that we have a new #2/#3? We haven't announce anything official yet. So who knows. But from the first game till now it's been Vida all the way? I forgot. Anybody knows?

It's just an armband at the end of the day. Someone wearing it will get to choose which coins the ref gonna throw and decide which sides we start on. The ref will consult him on whatever stuff happening on the field. Nothing more nothing less. Those with seniority will have that aura of respect anyways.

His delivery was a little off though most of the time. The whole team seem to be misfiring a little. Still early in the season though. We will pick our form up. Slow starter and all that. Can't wait for Carrick and Ando to get back into the thick of things. Expecting big things from them.

Eh wanted to tell you guys this and see if any of you already knew about it :
My gf recently went to Old trafford and took the stadium tour. The guide took them to the changing room and there was a TV there and he said,during halftime,SAF and the coaching team will watch to see how to improve for the 2nd half and stuff. All this is fair enough.

But my gf said that the guide then said they will watch ESPN and other pundits to see what they say and try to follow their recommendations as well...
This part didnt feel right to me...I didnt know they actually listen to pundits and stuff to change tactics... :S

Did any of you know this?

If they watch/listen to Shebby spout crap stuff at half time, doesn't mean they will follow it to a tee. It's just like how a a group of people doing presentation and stuff. Just because you have a lot of talented people working together, doesn't mean their view point is absolute. It's good to hear 'others' viewpoint on the matter and the criticism that we might not see for ourselves.

You think the players/coaches/SAF don't read papers and what they write about us? Same thing. SAF and the coaches will have their own notes on what to say, what not to say, which players need the hairdryer and boots kick at them. But it's good to hear it from a third party even if they are not right. It will be a different view point from someone outside the box. Like Wenger said, everyone think they have the prettiest wife at home. Can be used as a tool to motivate the players as well. Turn it into a siege mentality.

It's always been like that. I don't have the stats to back me up, but we know goals don't come easy especially at this level. Same goes for the other teams. And just because it shows up on the stats, doesn't mean it's a sure thing goal opportunity. Sometimes it could be a long kick from VDS straight at the GK and it will be counted as a shot on target. With Gibson and Nani in the side, it will be more with them firing rockets and thinking they play rugby. And add Berba heading ability, it would shoot up even more.

Yeah, football is not entirely about stats. If stats are to be the benchmark for everything in football, might as well turn to American Sports. They are

overtly obsessed with numbers and stats. tongue.gif Still early in the season. Even transfer window has not officially closed yet. Have to wait and see on 1st

Sep. Based on the more or less final squad on that day, we could predict what is going through SAF minds. Not that anybody has done that

successfully before. blush.gif

Third party point of view is true but when my gf was explaining to me how the guide said it,it seemed like they focused a lot on the external parties. I dont think it'll feel very nice to be put in the spotlight if youre having a bad game if youre a player then,very demoralizing. Pundits don't mince their words. Perhaps that could be the reason why some players seem so low on confidence for large periods of the season...

You think the clubs banned them from reading/watching football related matters especially when it's ManUtd related? It's no different from watching/listening it right as it happens. Either way they will know. They will have section of the crowds, if not most of them shouting bad stuff at you in games. SAF and the coaches pestering about it whenever you come in contact with them whenever they feel like airing out their views.


Added on August 31, 2010, 12:16 amThe weak ones won't be able to handle it well, but then they won't get far in what ever they do if a bit of criticism got to them badly and for a long period of time(say a few years). Most players at the club have been there and done it, whether with us, or with others before joining in. They know what they're getting into in top flight football where the spotlight is on them especially with them playing for one of the top teams around in the world. Up to the players themselves to overcome that obstacle. If they can't handle the heat, it's best we let go. Everywhere he goes, he will get the same treatment.

Handling pressure is one thing. Being eaten alive by the manager and pundits during half time when the game isn't going so well is a whole different story to me personally. Imagine getting a tongue lashing in front of all your teammates based on something someone sitting in a studio said about your game. A lot of mental preparation and mental attributes play a part in a players performance and if the said player is a player who needs confidence to perform (i.e Berba and nani to name a couple) ,this could severely hamper their performance. To be honest,thats the only way i can accept Berbas average performances previously. He is one of the best technical players and one of the most intelligent players ive ever seen and he showed masterclass performances at Spurs where he was the top dog. At United,where the wealth of talent is much greater,he did perform poorly often and we've all see how he has been blasted again and again by pundits and fans.
Thats just my point of view,btw. And i totally understand and respect yours,you do make sense with yours smile.gif

True about the being eaten alive thing. But they gotta live with it. I'm sure SAF knows which player to full blast and those who he silently pinch telling them one on one. At the end of the day, their confidence will be shot anyways after the game if they can't handle the pressure while the game was on. There's a lot more time to analyse the performances of a particular game after that. There would be a lot more fuel thrown into the fire.


Anybody else not feeling the 'merdeka' thing this year? It surely felt like nothing to me, even now. Puasa may play a part, but there's a lot more going on besides that. Uncertain future we're going into methinks..

i also dont think there will be a last minute signing from SAF... but maybe Man City will blast a few more hundred million before the closing window since there just lost a match over the weekend tongue.gif

And for the merdeka, it's true that this few years the celebration been tone down... hardly see cars on the road with jalur gemilang, shops also not many putting up a flag nowadays. Probably it's a way to show that they are not so happy with the big boss doing to the country hmm.gif

If news from Hargreaves' camp is negative, we would buy a midfielder of similar ability I guess. If it's still undecided, don't think we'll make a move as frustrating as it is. Saha case again. Luckily we have Fletcher to perform similar type of roles. But even he need a backup.

in my view, i tink SAF should sign a goal scoring midfielder rather than a defensive type of player in Rodwell...dnt get me wrong..Rodwell is a great talent but we do hv good cover in that department...we need a creative spark from midfiled more...you can't always expect from the strikers all the time.

Goal scoring midfielder? I suppose you didn't mean wingers right? Scoring midfielder, lemme think, except Scholes during his prime time, I can't think of any midfielder scoring more than 10 or 15 goals a season for us. And I beg to differ on the defensive midfield department because other than Carrick, I can't think of any natural defensive midfielder in the team but this doesn't mean that I wanted Rodwell in the team because he would become another liability in the midfield, just like De Jong and Sissoko. Know how to win the ball and tackle but don't know how to use the ball.

SAF style is always getting a reliable midfield that can go forward and track back, just like Keano, Fletcher, Anderson and in the youth we got Cleverly and Gibson, Eikrem. Old is gold and I believe with Carrick and Anderson growing experience, they could fit in the gap left by Scholes when he retired.

Edwin happy to keep going

QUOTE
Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar has admitted he no longer worries about when he will have to call time on his career.

Van der Sar turns 40 in October and remains at the top of his game for United, who he joined from Fulham five years ago.

Each passing season has led to suggestions it could be Van der Sar's last, but the Dutchman is now just happy to be playing at such a high level.

"I don't worry about when that day arrives," he said. "I am now exceeding my own expectations so it doesn't bother me.

"When I was younger I thought maybe I would finish in my mid-30s. But that is a normal time to be thinking about it when you are younger and for players at this level.

"That would have been the obvious time to finish, but I only came to United late in my career and maybe that is why I am still enjoying it.

"Coming to Old Trafford probably gave me a new lease of life."

Confidence

Van der Sar also believes that, while he retains the faith of United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, there is no need to contemplate retirement.

"The club have to be happy," he said.

"If they are not happy with the quality you are producing then there is no need to keep on going.

"I broke two fingers in pre-season last year and then got another knee injury later on, but every time I was fit I was picked again so that was a good sign for me.

"It proved he still had confidence in me and my qualities and ability.

"It is always nice when you work hard to get back and then the first opportunity to put you back in the team he does it. It is important to know he has that faith."

International Reds

QUOTE
Carrington will be quieter this week as United players begin their international duties at several different levels of the game.

The list of senior players away with their countries includes just two in the England squad. With captain Rio Ferdinand injured and defender Wes Brown recently announcing his retirement from the international scene, the only Reds in Fabio Capello's 23-man party are Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick. The United pair will be hoping to help England get off to a positive start in their European Championships qualifying matches against Bulgaria at home and Switzerland away on Saturday 3 and Wednesday 9 September respectively.

United also have two representatives apiece in the Northern Ireland squad - Jonny Evans and brother Corry Evans could both face Slovenia this Saturday - and the Republic of Ireland squad, following John O'Shea and Darron Gibson's expected call-ups for the Armenia (away) and Andorra (home) games.

Darren Fletcher will captain Scotland against Lithuania (away) and Liechtenstein (home). Elsewhere in Europe, Nemanja Vidic's Serbia travel to the Faroe Islands before entertaining Slovenia while Nani and Portugal have a home clash with Cyprus before a trip to Norway next midweek.

Further afield, Javier Hernandez and Antonio Valencia could face each other when Mexico host Ecuador. Ji-sung Park will skipper South Korea in another friendly against Iran in Seoul.

The Reds also have a number of players away at Under-21 level. Tom Cleverley and Chris Smalling are both in the young England squad for games against Portugal (away) and Lithuania (home), Federico Macheda will be looking for goals as Italy face Bosnia and Wales and United's final signing of the summer, Bebe, is involved in Portugal's Under-21 squad. Reserve-team players Robbie Brady (Republic of Ireland) and Oliver Norwood (Northern Ireland) are also away.

Finally, at Under-19 level, goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, defender Zeki Fryers and striker Will Keane are on duty with England, defender Marnick Vermijl has been called up by Belgium and midfielder Etzaz Hussain is in Norway's squad.

Cleverley agrees Latics loan

QUOTE
United midfielder Tom Cleverley will spend the remainder of the 2010/11 season on loan at Wigan Athletic.

The England under-21 international has impressed in loan spells with Leicester City and Watford in the last two seasons, and will aim to gain Premier League experience with Roberto Martinez's side this term.

After toying with the idea of retaining Cleverley as a member of United's first team squad, Sir Alex Ferguson decided that a move to the DW Stadium would most hasten the promising youngster's football education.

Latics manager Martinez told Wigan's official club website: “Tom is a very exciting young player and we are delighted he his coming to us. He can play in a number of positions and will provide us with some good new options, and add great competition to the squad.

"We have been watching him for some time and feel he is the right sort of player to join our squad; young, hungry, desperate to play for the club in the Premier League and to grow with us."

Cleverley is currently on England under-21 international duty, but will join up with his new team-mates later this week and could make his Latics debut against Sunderland - and fellow United loanee Danny Welbeck - on Saturday, 11 September.

Martinez lauds Cleverley loan

QUOTE
Wigan manager Roberto Martinez believes that Tom Cleverley possesses all of the characteristics to prove a success at the DW Stadium.

The Manchester United midfielder has officially agreed a season-long loan deal with the Latics, as revealed by skysports.com earlier on transfer deadline day.

Martinez is pleased to have signed Cleverley and thinks that the England Under 21 international will be a positive acquisition.

"Tom is a very exciting young player and we are delighted he is coming to us," said the Wigan boss.

"He can play in a number of positions and will provide us with some good new options, and add great competition to the squad.

"We have been watching him for some time and feel he is the right sort of player to join our squad; young, hungry, desperate to play for the club in the Premier League and to grow with us."

Cleverley has previously had loan spells at Leicester and Watford in the last two seasons.

Rodwell ain't defensive. He's not that much of an attacker as well, at least skill wise. But like Gerrard and Lampard, he could be really effective going forward getting and making goals. Just youtube him and see how he gets his goals. He really is imperious looking.. elegant while not skillful. Who knows how he might develop his vision/creativity part of his game, but like Lampard(goal scorer and nothing else, poor man's Scholes before Roman took over Chelsea), he could improve by leaps and bounds once he reach 25. SAF once commented on Lampard apparent improvement as a player. While he saw him as a good player, he never thought he could be as good as he is today.

We might have a similar(talking about Rodwell here) player in Gibson. He's not defensive. While going forward right now he looks nothing special but he has that way of striking the ball that will ensure he would get a good amount of goals wherever he plays. SAF seems to trust him to get the goals. He played last season against Bayern at OT and came up with a goal. Only 23(next October), so he still have another 2 seasons of big improvements to make, and hopefully by the 3rd season(counting this season), he should be a proper midfielder who is consistent in his play. Same goes for Ando.

Nothing beat the Berba to us on transfer dateline. That was the best dateline transfer ever. Spurs playing hardball, Citeh got a bid accepted, and apparently Berba flown to Manchester to meet Citeh only for SAF to hijack him at the airport and pick him up to take to OT for transfer discussion. Rumours flow said we haven't agreed a fee with Spurs and they didn't allow us to speak with him yet at the time, blablabla. He can be seen walking inside OT through the windows.. fuuh. That was epic.

Nothing beat the Berba to us on transfer dateline. That was the best dateline transfer ever. Spurs playing hardball, Citeh got a bid accepted, and apparently Berba flown to Manchester to meet Citeh only for SAF to hijack him at the airport and pick him up to take to OT for transfer discussion. Rumours flow said we haven't agreed a fee with Spurs and they didn't allow us to speak with him yet at the time, blablabla. He can be seen walking inside OT through the windows.. fuuh. That was epic.

i wish we are the one who baiting vdv from RM. he maybe not young, but at least he can offers some creativeness in the middle of the field.

scholes is great so far, but at his age, i wonder how far can he handle the burden of playmaker alone in such a long season..

Again, we spent 20++m on Hernandez, Smalling & Bebe so there is money when needed. With the level of debt we have, the Glazers could just simply say no money and we won't able to do any signings at all but the fact is that they DID made the money available.

The important thing is the mix of youngs and olds....

IMO, we have the best balance in term of youngs/experienced.

GK we have VDS to guide the 2nd GK and to organize the young defenders during match.

DEF - Rio, Vidic, Neville and Johnny Evans is coming up very very well...

MF - Scholes/Giggs...

FWD - Need not to say smile.gif

milan sign robinho and ibra because borriello is not performing and inzaghi is 37 this years.

sign players is not buy vege ...

before you sign, you need to know what player you lacking ...

at this moment, i can't see united need sign any more players ...

strikers - rooney, berbatov, owen, hernandez ...

midfielders - giggs and park left wingers, nani and valencia right winger ... centre are scholes, carrick, gibson and fletcher, anderson and hargreaves are still injured ...

so, i cant see fergie need any more signing ...

remember what happen to pompey ?

Most of them are defensive midfielder? Fletcher & Hargreaves probably but for others, how can they classified as defensive? They might be playing deep but that doesn't mean they are defensive minded.

I agree, the Glazers have put a huge burden on United. I agree, a club of United's stature should have the budget/resources to do what needs doing if needs be.

But please bear in mind, having the budget /= having to spend that budget every season. Already we have spent 20++ million on 3 players. This shows that the money is there. The question is, do we really need to spend big on a big player? I seriously do not think there is a need for any more major additions, unless Fergie has given up on one of the current first team players. E.g. Hargreaves, etc. So far it doesn't look like this has happened.

Actually,why not train Gibson for the defensive player role if we're found wanting in that position. I suggest gibson because at the moment,he doesn't seem to have any 'specialty' and basically plays the basic CM role. Its quite a flexible position so im sure he could adapt if he tried.

To be fair, I thought Carrick actually did well in the Community Shield against Chelsea. But too bad for him, Scholes is in superb form at the moment hence his 3 starts in 3 league games alongside Fletch.

As for Gibson, let's hope he will be like Fletch who only starting showing his true qualities when reaching his mid-20s. Of course that will need the patience from the boss and the fans as well. I remember how Wan keep defended Fletch in his earlier days biggrin.gif

lol, that's kinda pessimistic.

Hargreaves, I have to agree.
Anderson has already stated his desire to fight for his place. And he is such an amazing prospect, especially when allowed to attack freely.
Carrick had a blip last season. This season he has already shown he can play in a midfield 2, against Chelsea no less.
Gibson, yeah, he's still an unknown. He can shoot. But his passing and movement, seems inconsistent. I'm still hoping he'll pull off a Fletcher on us.

Well, that's 2 1/2 players there that we know can step in in case Fletcher and Scholes both go out at the same time. That's a lot of cover already, not to mention Park, Giggs and O'Shea stepping in whenever necessary.

Just because there's a budget and the Ronaldo money still laying around, it doesn't mean we should spend that much every season. There's no point spending just for the sake of it. We should look at our needs and what we want to do regarding the shape of our team. If we feel we need a midfielder, we go and get one within our budget. If we feel the player is worth paying a bit more, we would do just that. See Berba just a few seasons back. Since the Glazers have been in charge, while our net spend have been pretty low, but it doesn't mean we are broke as a club and have been stingy in spending. It's just that it meant we have been pretty good in the market regarding buying and selling players. Pique, Rossi, Richardson, Campbell, Heinze, Foster.. we made money on all of them maybe except for Heinze but we still got a lot of money for an aging player.

25 is the age I see right now for midfielders. Lampard transformation from just a good goal scorer into something more, Schweinsteiger change of position into a full time CM and excelling there last season, Fletcher.., Carrick in his Spurs days.. plenty more, but that's the ones I know of. Of course there's a few exceptions like with Fabregas, but he's a bit special whereby right from the start he has been awesome there. It won't mean a thing if Gibson and Ando don't improve of course, which could easily happen. But while Gibson have been steady in his game, we have seen Ando hit the heights plenty of times for us to be hopefuly that once he reach a certain age, he would be able to show that type of performances more on a regular basis. Nani seemed to have found his level and and able to maintain it.. 23-25.. it's where they really get into gear.

Last season SAF did say that Carrick is slow starter...when there were rumours that he was out of favour.

That's just not the case and I believe Carrick will be *back* soon... the good thing is we have Scholesy at his usual best.

CLEVERLEY - LOAN MOVE BEST

QUOTE
Tom Cleverley is confident his loan move to Wigan will boost his prospects of eventually making an impact at Manchester United.

The midfielder joined Wigan on a season-long deal on deadline day and is looking forward to the opportunity to play in the Premier League.

He had impressed for United in pre-season and was not initially expected to be sent out on loan by manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

However, after failing to be involved in United's opening three games, the England Under-21 international felt a loan move was the best route forward.

"This was the right next step for me," Cleverley told the Manchester Evening News.

"Sir Alex Ferguson had said he wanted to keep me, but looking at the size of United's squad and the quality of the midfielders, I worried I might not get many chances.

"I went to see the manager last week and had a chat and we both came to the agreement that it would be best to go out on loan.

"Wigan suits me down to the ground. I don't know the manager Roberto Martinez, but I've heard good things about him. I know he likes to play football and you can see that the way Wigan play.

"I would have loved to have stayed at United, but I had to be realistic. This is the best approach."

After previous loan spells at Leicester and Watford, Cleverley feels the chance to play in the top flight will stand him in good stead on his return to Old Trafford.

He added: "Having tested myself in Division One and the Championship, I felt ready to give the Premier League a go.

"My aim is to prove myself at this level and then hopefully next season it could be the Champions League with United!

"I needed the week-to-week test of the Premier League if my game was going to keep on the up. I wanted to keep going up a level.

"I am confident in my ability and I want everyone to see it. If I do well at Wigan then in 12 months my confidence will be sky high and I will be better equipped to tackle the challenge at United."

Smalling needs a little time

QUOTE
Ex-Reds defender Gary Pallister has been impressed by the glimpses of new signing Chris Smalling but says that the defender must be given time to adjust to life at United before his ability is properly judged.

Smalling, who is now on England Under-21 international duty for their games against Portugal and Lithuania, made his home debut for the Reds as a second-half substitute against West Ham at the weekend.

"On the pre season tour of America I thought he looked strong, quick and good on the ball," said Pally. “But it is still hard to judge at this early stage.

"Players sometimes come to Old Trafford and go into their shell as they are overawed by the expectation. But I'm confident that he has what it takes to make it here."

Gary acknowledges that Smalling has a long way to go before reaching the level of performance achieved week in, week out by the likes of Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic.

But he says that going off first instincts, the Reds may have found a diamond in the rough. "We have seen him play regularly at Fulham and he doesn’t look daunted by the Premier League. So hopefully when he is given a good run in the side he will prove that the manager has still got a good eye for a top-class defender!"

Papers: Clever move, Tom

Clever move for Tom
Roberto Martinez has hailed Tom Cleverley after the highly-rated Manchester United youngster completed a loan deal with Wigan. The England Under 21 midfielder will spend the season with the Latics after a successful spell with Watford last season. Martinez said: "Tom is a very exciting young player and we are delighted he his coming to us. He can play in a number of positions and will provide us with some good new options, and add great competition to the squad. We have been watching him for some time and feel he is the right sort of player to join our squad: young, hungry, desperate to play for the club in the Premier League and to grow with us.'
Daily Mail, Sports staff

The Mail also includes Javier Hernandez as one of their “best buys” of the summer alongside Joe Cole, Laurent Koscielny and Alexander Hleb. “The electric striker was the fastest player at the World Cup and his pace will terrify Premier League defenders," the say. "He scored on debut against Chelsea in the Community Shield."

Sir Alex played a part in the transfer of one of those players, Alexander Hleb, to Birmingham City, according to The Sun. The Reds boss helped persuade officials to grant the former Arsenal midfielder a work permit, they claim, arguing that he'd be a major asset to the Premier League side.

The Guardian reports that there will be increased security measures to ensure the safety of players and fans in United’s Champions League home fixture against Rangers. The police are looking to avoid a repeat of the 2008 UEFA Cup final, after fans clashed with police.

we sold ron and get valencia & young obertan, tevez with free past prime owen.. we may not broke but since the takeover we make loss on our revenue with the loans getting bigger. only last season we make some profit thanks to ron massive transfer fee. so the worries is there. nice tho seeing we did make 20++mil transfer this season. was hoping for bigger name but at the moment okla as long we got giggs,scholes

SAF learn his lesson while back to 02-05 season, youngster couldn't keep up to standard and we splashing money like water, hence u saw those flops in our squad previously

I'm somewhat agree their policy of nurturing young player, they will be more loyal to the club and the manager for what they been through season and season

Mixture of young and old player is the only way to keep the club growing, when u saw Arsenal then u will realise how important experience in football

*
Money issue? We have always operated within a budget. It was even more apparent in the PLC days where they have to vote to give the yes or no to SAF. Valencia came with a fee of 18m. That wasn't big enough for you? You are basically just looking at the 'small' numbers and seeing those three were not big names you obviously is not happy still. We may be in a lot of trouble, but what's the difference now and then when we were happy enough to pay big money for Carrick(06/07), Hargreaves, Nani, Anderson(07/08), Berbatov(08/09), Valencia(09/10). 16m in 06, 50m in 07, 30m in 08, 18m in 09. And this season so far we've spent 20m. You would think if we are in so deep shit, we wouldn't waste our money away on some kid nobody have heard about who was playing in a third division club just a few months back for big money especially in one or two position where we have talents in abundance there.

We got knocked out in the group stages in 05. We lost Keano midway that season. And come the new season we sold Ruud without replacing him, and we only bought Carrick who was hardly a star that time. Logic would tell you we need a replacement for Ruud, and a bigger name than Carrick to replace Keane. We should have no chance to beat Chelsea who just got Sheva and Ballack in that season. I don't need to tell you what happens at the end till now. It's about buying smart and asses the situation regarding our squad. If we feel a LB needed improving, we would go get one. If not, why bother to spend just for the sake of it?

What are you suggesting? We should have replaced Ronaldo and Tevez with more than just a Valencia and Owen? Should we have gotten another winger or a couple more GK, LB, RB, CB, CM, DM, AM, striker? We matched City's bid for Tevez, but he wasn't happy not being a regular even though he got more than enough playing time on the pitch. And we did made an offer or something along those lines for Benzema, but we couldn't beat Real to tempt player and paying the right fee to get him. There's the likes of Dzeko, Pato, Aguerro, Lukaku that time, but it was likely not the ones we have in our mind in terms of budget, and what we want or likely to get.

Don't look at the numbers in pure numbers. Oh look we spent only 20m, but we have another 80m from the sale of Ronaldo laying around=We should spend it all or 'spend it BIG'. It doesn't work that way. We got a very good replacement for Ronaldo in Valencia. While Valencia is far from Ronaldo's level, but who else is? And Tevez contribution in his last season was 5 league goals and another two in the CL(38 appearances in both competitions). Owen is a good replacement on a free. While we didn't get our main targets, it's been rectified now having Hernandez around. Defence we don't need nobody. One the wings we have plenty of good options. Upfront at the time was pretty good as well with Macheda and Welbeck emerging. We could do with a little help in midfield, but obviously SAF was and still is happy with the options there.

Semi god: Scholes, Giggs
Peak: Carrick, Fletcher, Hargreaves
Developing :Ando, Gibson

IMO that's good enough especially if Carrick find his form back. Ando and Gibson will improve and Scholes and Giggs won't turn shit overnight. What is another season to them when they can play as good as they doing right now? Our main worry is that with Fletcher. If he's out, in the big games especially we will be royally fuuuuu! Pray that Hargreaves comes back or that Ando &/or Gibson will prove to be a hit that we don't miss him when the time comes.


Forgot to add. If we feel the players already at the club are good enough or can develop enough to be at the level we wanted and needed, why should we spend our money away on a star that might not work out? We have always use a use a mix of stars and potential. Right now we have a lot of potential in the squad, and SAF may want to see those shine through without hurting us so much in the short term.

There must always be a balance. If you look at the current squad, you can see the balance. Obviously, the emphasis is on youth. That is the foundation. But if we over depend on youth, we end up like Arsenal. This is where Man Utd has differed in that Man Utd has always gone for key senior players whenever there is a need for it. SAF just doesn't see a need for it right now. Me neither.

As Wan has mentioned. There is a transition between semi god -> peak -> developing

I've heard the Carrick is out of favour and may be sold next summer. I think he really hasn't been pulling his weight and it would be a good piece of business, but we really need a replacement for Scholes one way or another.

As for BeBe, I am really curious how good this guy is, considering SAF never even took a look at him. Seriously, as great as SAF is, I don't think that's the right way to do things. 7m could've been spent in better ways

Rio Ferdinand to make comeback in Man Utd reserves

QUOTE
Rio Ferdinand will make his comeback from the knee injury that ruled him out of the World Cup in a Manchester United reserve game on Wednesday night.

The 31-year-old defender missed the World Cup after injuring ligaments in a collision with Emile Heskey during England training in South Africa.

If he comes through unscathed against Oldham, Ferdinand could make a first-team return at Everton on 11 September.

That week United have home games against Rangers and Liverpool.

Ferdinand's fellow England defender Wes Brown, Brazilian midfielder Anderson and Italian striker Federico Macheda are also all expected to play for United's reserves on Wednesday.

Ferdinand's return to action is earlier than expected, with United manager Sir Alex Ferguson having previously said he did not expect him back until the end of the month.

His comeback is too late for Ferdinand to have any involvement in England's Euro 2012 qualifiers against Bulgaria on Friday, 3 September and Switzerland on Tuesday, 7 September, but it will be a welcome bit of good news on the injury front for manager Fabio Capello.

Leading by example

QUOTE
Nemanja Vidic is relishing the responsibility that comes with being captain of the Reds, but insists he is just one of a number of leaders within the squad.

The Serbian international has been United’s ever-present skipper so far this season and has led by example with a string of commanding displays at the heart of the defence.

Vida says wearing the armband is a great honour, but believes the current side are blessed with a host of players with leadership qualities.

“Being captain is a big achievement and honour for me, and I enjoy the responsibility,” he told ManUtd.com.

“But I must say we have a few captains in our team – Gary Neville, Scholesy, Giggsy and Rio – they are the real leaders in our team. The other players look to those players.

“For me, as a captain you don’t need to do anything special, you just have to be yourself and be an example to the other players.

“I just try to give my best in every game and use the experience I have gained over the years to help the team be successful.”

I dun understand why many are picking on Carrick. IMHO, he's still one good player, great passing ability and vision, and also good in long range shots as well.

In fact, I think he will be a better option than Lampard to pair up with Gerrard in the national team. England could have been better with him. Just can't see the reason pairing up gerrard with Lampard. It's a proven failure.

Well my opinion is that he doesn't have that 'dominating presence' in the midfield. He fits the bills with Lampard or Gerrard because while these 2 are dominating personas and get in front often, he will have to stay back.

He was great in the 1st one or two seasons he joined us, but recent seasons there haven't been many convincing displays.

It's just natural IMO to have that doubt. Scholes and Giggs are getting older and likely to have only a season or two at most being as effective as they are today. We have Fletcher, but he's a different kind of a player. Ando and Gibson doesn't look like a certainty ATM. And so the spotlight is on Carrick to help lessen the burden and help us have a smooth transition from the old to the new generation.

He has never been that kind of a player. In fact I don't think we have someone with that type of presence since Keano left. He has been consistently good for 3 seasons. Only last season was a blip. We'll see how he does in the coming season. If his form doesn't pick up, we'll let him go and brought in someone else. Until then, he has every chance of capturing his form and place back. Looked like his former self against Chelsea. Just a matter of time before he gets his chance again. SAF might just silently let him know he got to earn his place by putting him on the subs list in all our games so far although another possible reason is that SAF just want to build our form and momentum by playing almost the same side for a few games before making changes to the side.

but the same can be said with Scholes, he starts every attack. The saying goes, form is temporary, class is permanent.

In Hargreaves with have someone with the dominating persona and hard tackler, i.e Keano's true successor. I love the way he plays and he really shows the will to win balls and matches. My fav part of him is during the UCL 2008 in Moscow where he took the penalty and score. He pumped his fist with a mean look and was almost practically saying "take that u fekking blues!"

Hargreaves on the list!!

QUOTE
Owen Hargreaves has been included in Manchester United's 25 man squad list, despite a list of injuries that has seen him play just 30
seconds since September 2008.Manchester United's Owen Hargreaves has made the cut
Hargreaves does not count as a 'Homegrown' player as he spent his early years in Germany, but Sir Alex Ferguson has taken a gamble in including
the England midfielder and hopes to see him back to full fitness after he spent time with a specialist in the United States.
The rules: Each club's 25-man squad should have eight home-grown players who - regardless of age or nationality - spent three years (or a total of 36 months)
in the youth system of a club in England or Wales before they reached the age of 21.Contrary to reports elsewhere, players aged under 21 can, if required,
be named in the 25-man squad as a home-grown player. An Under-21 player is defined as being born on or after January 1, 1989.
Clubs can use an unlimited number of Under-21 players in addition to their 25-man squad. For instance, Chelsea would not need to name
Daniel Sturridge or Gael Kakuta in their 25-man squad.

hoo now spurs can have more credibility in cl.vdv will make the difference in the cl for them.

anyway us united fans shouldnt be so down wit the less activity(tho we did sign 3 players!!).signings DONT guarantee trophy's ,a team wins trophies.so far we have a team so why all the fuss with no signings etc etc.this season were still covered.

the only problem i see is in a season or when giggs and scholes retires and we have some time to go before then.so look forward dont be sooo down beat lo biggrin.gif .by that time we might see the young ones stepping up, or who knows make signings that you crave so much.so for this season, rest easy and let the football take its course. biggrin.gif

of course it would be better. Both Lampard and Gerrard are more like CAM type that tends to go forward with the ball or just shoot it from a million feet away. Both of them have the same role thus none of them would want their other CM partner to have the chance to shine. That is why Capello pushed Gerrard to the wings and threw in Barry alongside Lampard in CM position

Manchester United New Boy Bebe: Sir Alex Ferguson Made Me Cut My Dreadlocks

QUOTE
Sir Alex Ferguson told Manchester United new boy Bebe to have a close shave if he wanted to avoid the hair dryer treatment.

Bebe, 20, was pictured with flowing dreadlocks after he was snapped up by United for £7.4 million last month. Upon his unveiling at the club, the long locks had made way for a crew cut.

Speaking to A Bola as he prepared to make his Portugal under-21 bow against England on Friday, Bebe revealed the Scot had ordered him to the barbers.

He said: "I am working hard, everyone has helped me a lot.

"I have adapted well, given the short time I have been there.

"The older ones help me a lot."

"Did Ferguson make me cut my hair? More or less ... " the ex-Vitoria attacker smiled.

Manchester United Keeping Tabs On Standard Liege Star Steven Defour - Report

QUOTE
Manchester United are continuing to monitor Standard Liege star Steven Defour and could make a move for him in the New Year.

Manager Sir Alex Ferguson is a long term admirer of the player and sent a message to him when he was recovering from a broken foot last winter. The Belgium international has regained his place in the first team after reaching match fitness and is viewed as a potential replacement for Paul Scholes and Owen Hargreaves.

Speaking to talkSPORT, a source confirmed United were watching Defour and could bid when the transfer window re-opens in January.

They said: "United were interested in Defour but there was no official bid. He wouldn't have moved this summer any way.

"Beyond that, we will look in January and assess it then. United remain keen on him, for sure."
http://www.goal.com/en/news/9/england/2010...ege-star-steven

Anyone knows bout this guy? We were linked to him every year yet we haven't made a single move. If he's that good, why other teams aren't interested? hmm.gif

We won the Champs League with pretty much the same midfield lineup of course minus Owen Hargreaves but we reached final a year later without him. Carrick is a good midfielder, maybe not world class, but his overall contribution is fantastic and fans tend to overlook that probably due to his price tag or over comparison to Scholes. But i still rate him highly, his passing and vision is very good.

Scholes is on another level himself, and not many are and close to joining him on the same step.

Hargreaves ain't a Keano successor. Hard tackler, dominating persona is just part of it. Passing ability is more important. Don't have to be great like Scholes, but have to at least be useful or comfortable enough there. Hargreaves haven't showed enough there to suggest we can rely on him there aside from providing defensive cover and and an endless amount of hard work in that position. He looked really good out wide though..

Rio played 45 mins for the reserve. Ando played the full 90mins. Score was 2-1 in our favour. Macheda got the winner.

Macheda keep banging in the goals in reserve, I just wonder if SAF willing to start him more often in the league fixture and maybe then, Macheda could stamp his presence in the starting lineup.

he will think he might not secure 1st team chances, compare spurs which the midfielder only has modric which currently injured, huddlestone, palacios and o'hara ...

perhaps there's a gap between bpl & reserve league maybe? he's still younger so need not to rush him... he could feature once a while in league, will definitely come in handy in league cup/fa cup matches. smile.gif

If he keep impressing in the reserves and whenever he gets a chance for the first team, SAF will keep on giving chances to him. But for now, 10-15 games is what we're looking at unless he impresses enough to get more. He's only 19, and his game still not fully develop, but he's working on those link up stuff and he's been quite good at them. He's probably 2-3 years away from regularly contesting for a place. No need to rush. By that time, a path or two would open up with Berba and Owen getting on in age.

Agree. He still young and he still developing his game. SAF did played him for few games last season and I can see that he still not in the level where he could consistently perform and handling matches. It just bugging me that I keep forgetting that he is still young and he already giving impact to the team. I hope Macheda himself notice that he need to give more time to himself and the manager to start picking him for regular fixture, I don't want such a talent to leave us.

i think we are the most balanced squad in the league, we fulfill the quota and huge numbers of potential star will classify as homegrown in a year or two.

but Chelsea seem the strongest. They only use 19 of 25 spots available, but those 19 (mostly) are well experienced.

Arsenal use 20/25, but they are well known for operating with a lot of youngsters. this rule will not weaken them.

i think Liverpool will be relatively weaken by this rule. Roy Hodgson bought /allegedly interested with average English player, due to strict budget and want to fulfill homegrown quota..

Man City can still buy reinforcement, but still need to sell their star player in bargain price (like Robinho). shame we are arch rival, if not we can gain a lot from business with them..

Spurs are quite good condition, they love to buy English players in recent years..

i think, im starting to like this kind of rule.. rclxms.gif

Hargreaves was raised in Canada and trained in Germany.

Homegrown only applies to players who joined the club before 18 years old and trained there for more than 3 years within the country. Or something like that.

United lose out over Bebe

QUOTE
Manchester United could have signed Bebe for as little as £125,000, according to the Portuguese striker's former coach.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson snapped up the youngster in a shock £7.4million deal three weeks ago, despite having never even seen the 20-year-old play.

Bebe, who arrived at Old Trafford from Portuguese Premier League club Guimaraes, has not played competitive football at a level higher than his native third division.

And Jorge Paxaio, coach of the forward's former team Estrela da Amadora, claims the club offered him around Europe for just €150,000 as they urgently hunted cash to avoid a winding-up order last term.

Desperate

"Last season we had no money at all," Paxaio told the Daily Mail. "We were trying to transfer Bebe to other clubs.

"We had to raise money desperately. We told everyone in England and in Europe: 'For 150,000 Euros you can have him'.

"We couldn't get anybody interested. Nobody trusted him. None of the clubs were interested because he had never played at a high level."

Bebe, who terminated his contract with Estrela and moved to Guimaraes on a free transfer in the summer, earned £12,000 a year with the third division club, the same sum he now takes at United in a week.

And Paxaio admits he would never have predicted the striker's move to Old Trafford.

"I was surprised with the sudden way it happened with United," he added. "I was hoping he would move to a bigger club in Portugal or a medium-sized club in Europe.

"I didn't expect Manchester United. Having said this, Manchester United have signed an extraordinary player."

United were only alerted to Bebe after he impressed during this year's pre-season with Guimaraes, scoring five goals in six games.

The player's former agent Goncalo Rels has reiterated that Ferguson could have picked up the forward at a much lower price if he had moved to sign him earlier.

Cheap

"Bebe would have been very cheap during last season and then we tore up the contract because he wasn't being paid by Estrela and so then he was free," said Rels.

"A scout from United could have contacted me or the club last season. There was no secret.

"But I understand that the United scout just saw certain games in Portugal and only realised Bebe was a great player when he saw some pre-season games involving Guimaraes.

"If they had looked wider they would have seen him earlier and paid very little. But everyone was the same."

It's always hard to predict with youngsters. The scout might have seen him before this playing in the third division, but couldn't really recommend due to the quality of play at that level. And most teams decide to see from afar how he steps up wherever he goes. After a few games against higher quality opposition, he impressed a lot I guess making us and a few other teams sniffing around him.

Blues reveal Fergie help

QUOTE
Birmingham manager Alex McLeish has revealed that he received help from Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger in the signing of Alexander Hleb.

The Blues signed the 29-year-old on a season-long loan from Barcelona in one of the best deals of transfer deadline day.

However, the move was almost scuppered as former Arsenal winger Hleb was initially denied a permit to return to England because his national team, Belarus, are ranked outside the top 70 in Fifa's world rankings.

The Blues, though, were successful with an appeal, and McLeish, who is currently negotiating his own contract extension, has thanked Manchester United boss Ferguson and Gunners manager Wenger for greasing the wheels.

"Both Sir Alex and Arsene Wenger gave us a headed notepaper endorsement of Hleb's quality to play in England," the Birmingham boss told his club's official website.

Pipedream

"I think the panel were pretty positive about it anyway. But we had to make sure the panel were aware that Hleb was always a target and it helps when you have got two top managers endorsing a particular player."

McLeish has also stated that Birmingham's chief scout, Paul Montgomery, has been tracking Hleb for a number of years and the club were therefore delighted to beat the likes of Tottenham, Liverpool and Portuguese champions Benfica to the deal.

The Scot said: "He was always on our list because Paul kept putting him on, but what chance had we got of getting someone like Hleb?

"Hleb was a little bit of a pipedream over the past couple of years, but all of a sudden, in the last three or four days, we were told it was possible and the board made it happen."

McLeish added: "With the feedback we were getting, he was delighted to come.

"To go back to England, that was his first choice and to pip Benfica to get his services is a bit of a coup."

most transfer nowadays stated undisclosed fee.. its believe united pay as the minimum release clause on bebe contract which is 7.4mil
bebe just join the club and after his pre-season performance most likely it is true as dont think they want to sell.

SAF admit he never seen bebe even on video so thats is quite a story. media will continue atleast till they finally see bebe playing even its on reserve

Berbatov ready to rock

QUOTE
Dimitar Berbatov’s campaign could be shaped by Sir Alex Ferguson’s Euro selection against Rangers.

Amazingly, the Bulgarian hasn’t played an unbroken sequence of more than four matches since his first two months as United’s £30.75m club record buy in 2008.

That first burst of eight games on the trot yielded five goals for Berbatov.

They included four Champions League goals against Aalborg and Celtic.

And his European early tally promised much.

But he ended his debut season on the bench in the Champions League final in Rome against Barcelona and last season he started just the one European match all season against CSKA Moscow in Russia in the group stage.

And his Euro influence had turned sour.

Spearhead

That has been down to the switch to the one-man spearhead and five-man midfield favoured in the Champions League by Fergie with Wayne Rooney being the lone striker.

The knock-on effect for Berbatov is that he’s not had that continuous run of matches to get his teeth into.

This season he has started all three Premier League matches and is winning over his large band of critics.

The 29-year-old has scored twice and has been an eye-catching influence on the Reds.

When the league season starts again after the Euro 2012 qualifiers he looks a nailed on starter against Everton at Goodison a week on Saturday.

But three days later United’s Champions League campaign starts against Scottish Champions Rangers at Old Trafford.

Will that two-year elusive five-matches on the bounce escape him again and fragment his impressive early start?

Ex-Reds striker Andy Ritchie is a committed Berbatov supporter and he believes a run for Dimitar could be the key.

“I have always been a Berba fan. You will never have heard criticism of him from me,” Andy told M.E.N. Sport.

“You never know what the manager has up his sleeve regarding selection and that’s how it should be.

“But from Dimitar’s perspective it would be great for him to get a few matches unbroken under his belt. There is no doubt that has to be a factor.

Cantona-esque

“You need consistency in your game and to help get that you want to be playing match after match. To have breaks thrown in, they must have a big bearing.

“At the moment you cannot see him not playing and, for his sake, I hope that continues.

“He is a class act and brings the Cantona-esque factor to United’s game that I don’t think we have had for a while – possibly since Eric’s era.

“He holds the ball up so well, sees a pass and links play. For me it is also reminiscent of Jimmy Greenhoff at Old Trafford.

“In my young days at the club Jimmy and Stuart Pearson were up front and I tried to get both of their styles in my games.

“I particularly looked up to Jimmy. His control was superb, he too could pick a pass out and he scored goals as well. I think Dimitar is very similar.”

Berbatov’s two-season Old Trafford goals statistics read 14 in his debut term and 12 last.

But Ritchie is convinced that haul is about to grow.

“I actually thought that last season Berba was very, very unlucky in front of goal,” added Andy.

“Yes some of it maybe was bad finishing but on the whole I thought he had a lot of bad luck.

“More good fortune and he would have been easily into the 20s and nobody would have been moaning about him.

“But he has been in the 20s twice in England with Spurs and I think he can reach those kind of figures again.

“I have no doubts that he is a 20-odd goal a season striker in the Premier League.

“Although Dimitar is Mr Cool personified on the outside you just wonder how much an affect coming to a club like Manchester United has had on him.

“I think the enormity of it has possibly played on his game. But I think he is through that now.

“After two seasons you have to say this is an important one for him. But I am confident the way he has started he’ll have a lot more people singing his praises this year.”

With his retirement with Bulgaria, he looks all set to start against Everton. Will he break the 5 matches barrier? Judging by his current form, I would say nod.gif

The next two games will be really interesting. It will really tell what direction Fergie intends to go with the team this year. 4-4-2 the whole way or 4-5-1 for the big games.

For me, I have a gut feeling it will be 4-4-2, seeing how he used 4-4-2 against Chelsea in the Community Shield.

We have never stick to one formation really. Fergie has always set the formation up according to situation. Over the past few seasons, we have always play with 4-5-1 against big team and some tough away game in CL. Also when Judas32 was around, we played with 4-6-0 week in week out....lol

Yeah. That's why I think it's gonna be interesting.

Berbatov is on form currently. Will he get dropped in favor of a 4-5-1 against Everton away from home?

We never get good result when play Everton and Fulham away. Fulham already happen last week. Hope Fergie can come out with good tactic next week. I agree with 4-5-1, maybe Carrick first league appearance

You didn't miss much other than one great run.

Welbeck, Smalling and Cleverley have been good, although less so with the latter.

Hat-trick hero lauds Rooney

QUOTE
Friday, 03 September, 2010

Jermain Defoe salutes his strike partner.

England hotshot Jermain Defoe praised Wayne Rooney after the Manchester United man set-up two of Defoe’s three goals against Bulgaria at Wembley.

On 61 minutes, just seconds after Joe Hart had saved well from Dimitar Rangelov, England produced a devastating counter-attack which ended with Defoe rifling home Rooney’s pass to put England 2-0 up, having earlier given Fabio Capello’s side the lead in the third minute.

Then, after 86 minutes, Rooney broke through the centre and slipped the Tottenham striker in for a strike at goal and Defoe duly obliged, passing the ball under Nikolay Mihaylov to complete a comfortable 4-0 rout.

“When you play with a partner up front it takes time to gel but Wayne Rooney is a great player and if I make the runs I know he'll find me,” said Defoe, after the game.

“People know what I'm good at. I'll always try to move and when I get a chance try to take it.

“It's always nice to score, but to score a hat-trick for your country and win the game is great.”

Capello is a coward la,thats the bottom line. All the bullshit he said about choosing players and tactics and he essentially sent the exact same team Steve McClaren used. Everything from personnel to tactics were similar if not worse during the world cup.

He deserves all the blame if you ask me. And now after the disaster he chooses players based on form. Should've been doing that from the start.

Ask Terry to defend properly against Germany la. Terry and Lampard also same one, play for Chelsea like so power, come to represent England, here mistake there mistake. Lampard like don't want to pass to striker one. When Gerrard was at midfield it was even worse, 2 guys shooting from outside like the whole game is they 2 play one.

kindly read post #385's signature laugh.gif

"I'd gladly accept Fergys comments once he realises that his team is just the same, if not worse. Yes Lampard is 32. Yes Drogba is 32. Yes Anelka is 31. But at least we don't have a 40 year old goalkeeper and a 36 year old "Lampard-equivalent" in midfield. If there is a team with truly old players. Then its definitely United"

aww snap. I hope it is not true. And if it is, I hope Rooney and Coleen can settle it out nicely. I dont want off pitch problem to affect our Wazza.

Scholes=Lampard? Scholes>Lampard. Period.

Man Utd vs West Ham

VDS 40
O'shea 29
Vidic 29
Evans 22
Evra 29
Nani 24
Scholes 36
Fletcher 26
Giggs 37
Berba 29
Rooney 25

Chelsea vs Stoke

Cech 28
Ferreira 31
Alex 28
Terry 30
Cole 30
Essien 28
Mikel 23
Lampard 32
Anelka 31
Malouda 30
Droga 32

Chelsea avg. = 29.4
Man Utd avg. = 29.6

Chelsea may be younger on average but they have 7 players in the 30's(or soon to be) club. While we only have 3. Scholes and Giggs arent regulars but all of Ski 30's are except Ferreira.

What SAF said back then is true though, especially when there's Ballack, Deco, J.Cole, Carvalho still there at the time. Only idiots would deny it. THe was talking about the potential of the side, not the ability. Once players reach certain ages, they won't improve much further. He never said Chelsea can't win a thing or that they're not at a good level or whatever. In fact he said Chelsea would be the biggest threat to us each season I think.

First XI
VDS-40
O'Shea-Vida-Rio-Evra(30+29+32+30)
Valencia-Scholes-Fletcher-Nani(25+36+27+24)
Berba-Rooney(30+25)

Essien-Lampard-Mikel(28+32+24)
Anelka-Drogba-Malouda(32+33+30)
=29.4
-----------------

2nd team


Kuszczak(29)
Wes-Evans-Smalling-Rafael(31+23+21+20)
Park-Ando-Carrick-Giggs(30+23++29+23+37)
Owen-Chicharito(30+22)
=26.8

Hilario-us(35)
Ferreira-Ivanovic-Bruma-Zhirkov(32+27+19+27)
Sturridge-Benayoun-Ramires-Kakuta(21+31+24+19)
Kalou-Borini(25+20)
=24.5
(3 of those have not even been a regular bench player for them)

Another 2-3 years down the line..?
GK
Rafael-Evans-Smalling-Fabio
Valencia-Fletcher-Ando-Nani
Rooney-Chicharito
(Gibson, Macheda, Cleverley, Welbeck, Pogba)

Cech
??-Ivanovic-Alex-Zhirkov
Sturridge-Ramires-Mikel-Essien-Kakuta
Kalou

Surprised the Chelsea squad is smallish.. better pray bug don't bite too many of them at the same time.


Added on September 5, 2010, 8:57 amThose ages I took is what they will be at the end of the season.


Added on September 5, 2010, 9:01 amAside from LB(Fabio still to have prove himself) and GK, I'm really happy with the other positions. Bring on the future!


Added on September 5, 2010, 9:06 amBtw, our Wayne Rooney have been pretty naughty in the last 6 months or so. He slept with a hooker/escort girl. It would be fun for the next couple of months. It won't die down anytime soon seeing who he is and who he plays for(us!). Either he would be depress over all of this to affect his performance on the pitch or he'll do a Beckham/Ronaldo. Me looking forward to all of this.

Hargreaves fails to make Euro cut

QUOTE
Injury-hit midfielder Owen Hargreaves has been left out of Manchester United's Champions League squad.

Hargreaves has made only a solitary substitute appearance in the last two years for Manchester United as he battles tendinitis.

The 29-year-old midfielder has been included in United's Premier League squad, but he failed to make the club's Champions League group stage roster.

New Portuguese signing Bebe also failed to make the Champions League squad.

Uefa rules allow clubs to name 25 players, but United's squad has only 24 players, making Bebe's omission surprising, given he cost the club over £7m in the summer.

Hargreaves underwent knee surgery in the US in 2008 in a bid to solve the long-term tendinitis problem.

The former Bayern Munich player, who joined Manchester United in 2007 in a £17m deal, played several reserve matches towards the end of last season and came on as a late substitute in United's 1-0 win over Sunderland in the penultimate game of the season on 2 May.

If United qualify from their Champions League knockout stages - the club's last Group C game is at home to Valencia on 7 December - they are then eligible to name a new squad of players.

QUOTE
Christian Benitez did not let the Mexican fans get too comfortable before drawing first blood. Benitez, a well-known figure in Mexico for his goal-scoring antics with Santos Laguna, knifed through the Mexican defense. After a poor pass from Carlos Salcido towards Andres Guardado, Ecuador's Luis Valencia knocked the ball forward and Benitez took control. Benitez got past Francisco Javier Rodriguez and Salcido before slipping a ball between Guillermo Ochoa's legs and into the back of the net.


QUOTE
Checa finally found the back of the net but it was his own goal. Hernandez dribbled the ball down the right side of the box and tried to get the ball across to the front of the goal. Checa stuck his leg out and deflected the ball past 'keeper Maximo Banguera and Mexico were on the scoreboard.


QUOTE
Ecuador were not rattled by the own goal, though, and continued their pressure of Ochoa and Mexico's defense.

Ultimately, the visitors broke through. Again it was Valencia who got the plays started. Valencia sat on the right side of the box and sent the ball to the front of the six-yard box. Ayovi ran onto it and, with Ochoa charging off his line, got to the ball first. The ball deflected off Ochoa and went into the goal, just on the underside of the crossbar.

Wayne Rooney admits it

Wayne Rooney's marriage was under intense pressure last night after it was revealed that he had a series of encounters with a prostitute while his wife was pregnant.

The Manchester United and England star, widely criticised during the World Cup for a series of lacklustre performances, broke the news to a 'devastated' Coleen yesterday afternoon.

European squad confirmed

QUOTE
United's squad for the group stage of the 2010/11 Champions League has been confirmed.

Two of the Reds' recent signings, Javier Hernandez and Chris Smalling, could make their debuts in the competition following their inclusion, but there is no place for the other new acquisition Bebe, Belgian defender Ritchie De Laet or the injured Owen Hargreaves. The latter trio could be subsequently registered for the knock-out phase from February, assuming United qualify.

The 30-strong roll call on UEFA.com includes six names on what is known as Player list B, for younger squad members. This sextet comprises goalkeeper Ben Amos, full-backs Rafael and Fabio, fellow defender Oliver Gill, defender / midfielder Corry Evans and striker Federico Macheda.

The squad for the group stage reads as follows:

Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Amos*; Neville, Evra, J.Evans, Ferdinand, W.Brown, Smalling, Vidic, O'Shea, Fabio*, Rafael*, Gill*; Nani, Anderson, Giggs, Park, Carrick, Scholes, Fletcher, Valencia, Gibson, C.Evans*; Berbatov, Rooney, Hernandez, Owen, Obertan, Macheda*.

*Indicates player is on List B.

Fergie to beat Real and Milan to Greek wonderkid

QUOTE
Manchester United are set to capture Greek wonderkid Sotiris Ninis at the end of the season.

United are ready to trigger an £8million clause in the 20-year-old Panathinaikos contract after Sir Alex Ferguson identified him as the answer to his team’s need for a creative midfielder.

The Reds have already opened negotiations with the Athens club about taking Ninis to Old Trafford for next season.

Ninis, who was born in Albania, is already a regular in Greece’s international team.

He is also one of three club captains at Panathinaikos and has attracted interest from Real Madrid and AC Milan.

But United are now in pole position after telling the Greek side they will pay the get-out clause in the four-year contract that Ninis signed in 2008.

Any Greek club that wants Ninis has to pay £15million. But that figure drops to £8million if he moves abroad.

Ferguson is trying to bring in fresh talent from around the globe in relatively modest deals as the financial realities brought about by the Glazers’ ownership of United takes effect in the transfer market.

United spent £25million this summer to recruit the potential of Chris Smalling, Javier Hernandez and Bebe. Ninis fits the same profile.

Ferguson has made finding a long-term replacement for Paul Scholes, United’s midfield play-maker, a top priority. That’s why United were keen to pursue Germany international Mesut Ozil before he decided to join Real Madrid last month.

Ferguson is rightly proud of discovering emerging talents. Ninis may even develop like Cristiano Ronaldo.

I have the same sentiment as you. First in 2004, its understandable coz he's young, not commited in terms of marriage and all...but now? I said the same when JT scandal broke, and i'll say the same if Rooney do indeed do such things: It's a shameful act. I wont go so low as to defend his act and say it's his private life and none of our business....IF it indeed is true, then very shameful coz he's always involved with youngsters and this does not make him look good at all sad.gif . I just hope it's not as terrible as it sounds...

But nonetheless, he is still a United player and hope he can get back to his senses and get his life sorted out coz this thing will somehow affect his footballing duties. I dislike his actions, not him.

PS: all said are assuming the news is true...which is just as true as JT's affair anyway. But reli hope this is just an April Fool joke or something unsure.gif

bullsh*t. Why Terry's wife had to leave John in the first place? You think these WAG just look at the tabloid and leave with their kids just like that? Obviously, she confronted Terry before blasting off from England. And you would think Bridge just screw of his best friend if he had not had confirmation?



I personally think its alright for Rooney to have this thing going on. As long as it doesn't involve massive discomfort in the locker room (eg, shag your best friends girlfriend, ex or not. Barney's bro code laugh.gif ) Given the footballer earn like a few hundred thousand a month, not partying seem hard. Hard to find the likes of Scholes, Giggs, Kaka that stays at home. Worse, is colleen is pregnant.. and.. i know its not a good morale act to even have affair outside, but, world's change i guess

I guess that Colleen would have known by now already, or even months before that. There were rumours flying around but didn't surface too much. And he got a court order to stop it from appearing in the papers.. for a while until last night.

Wayne Rooney admits it

Wayne Rooney's marriage was under intense pressure last night after it was revealed that he had a series of encounters with a prostitute while his wife was pregnant.

The Manchester United and England star, widely criticised during the World Cup for a series of lacklustre performances, broke the news to a 'devastated' Coleen yesterday afternoon.

SO WHAT?? Wana discuss bout John Terry's 'colourful' family history???

'His personal life' - that was u guys said when he was involved in scandal..

Morally wrong, but personal life is theirs' to decide.. I am not defending Rooney's action, it sucks to read such news, even more when its true.. as long as Rooney does his job on football field.. its not like SAF gona bench Rooney for this.. or take away something precious off Rooney, just like captain armband (he doesnt have one at the moment)... brows.gif

Goalkeeper's obituary published after he joins hated rivals

Former Arsenal defender William Gallas might get a few boos following his move to cross-city adversaries Tottenham Hotspur but at least he is alive and well. When former Red Star Belgrade goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic joined hated rivals Partizan Belgrade he died - at least in the eyes of the fans that once adored him.

Furious Red Star supporters, who just two months ago had presented Stojkovic as an honorary club member in a public ceremony, published the Serbian international's obituary in protest at the unpalatable move.

Stojkovic came through the ranks at Red Star and although he left the Serbian club in 2004 he remained hugely popular with the fans. But following his loan move to Partizan from Sporting Lisbon the tide has definitely turned.

"I understand the fans, but posting my obituary is too much," said a very much alive and well Stojkovic.

disappointed but as someone pointed out - it's Rooney private life and we are in no position to pass our judgements
Not that I'm condoning it tongue.gif but at the end of the day if he delivers on the pitch - that is all it matters but seeing how private life turmoil has affected footballers in the past (see Terry and A Cole, W Bridge, R Fowler and of course our very own George Best) I'm worried Rooney might not be able to handle it as well as the fans are hoping for unfortunately sad.gif

OH NOOOO! So its confirmed!!!! DOOMSDAY!!! Now Rooney is in real trouble! Not only he has to contend with the fact that his father peddles drug and mother shop-lifting, now he has this problem to deal with. Rumours has it that this gal used to be Cristiano Ronaldo's toy as well and that means Ronaldo wont shake hands with Rooney when they meet.. Thats gona be embarassing if its during a competitive match like Man Utd vs Real Madrid as the whole world will see Ronaldo withdrawing his hand during players handshake.. and most of all, Rooney will never ever get to be England's captain. Its gona be very sad.. I hope Patrice Evra wont send vulgar sms to other ladies which will only make the whole situation worse...

Charni Ekangamene on his way to Old Trafford

QUOTE
Manchester United are set to sign youngster Charni Ekangamene from feeder club Royal Antwerp on his 16th birthday.

The rookie attacker is still only 15 but is earmarked for a professional contract at Old Trafford after impressing during a trial spell in Manchester.

Sir Alex Ferguson has often used the Belgian side to develop his own youngsters, including Danny Higginbotham, Luke Chadwick, John O'Shea and Darron Gibson, but is ready to reverse the trend.

After former Antwerp defender Ritchie De Laet joined United from Stoke City in January, Belgian-Congolese kid Ekangamene looks on his way to the European champions later this year, despite rival interest from Ajax.

"He is a great talent," Antwerp's youth co-ordinator Alex Vervecken told HNB.

"He is mentally strong and is never nervous."

Vervecken and club secretary Paul Bistiaux accompanied the teenager on his initial trip to Manchester and a contract is expected to be signed when he becomes eligible as The Red Devils have been monitoring his progress carefully.

to be fair a few of them who say its none of our business when it happens to other players, say the same thing about Rooney. At least they stick to what they say. And to a few of us who taunt and joke about their players to them, now we face the karma of being ridiculed. dare to give, dare to receive. But what ticks me off are hypocrites who say 1 thing about themselves and say the other to others.

Personally i still believe that as a player u have your club's image to hold and while u may argue that other players do the same, 2 wrongs doesnt make it right. Just hope this isnt the cause of his form now...i would expect this has been an issue for the past few months already, not when the tabloid publish it. Hope he can settle it ASAP so as not to disturb his footballing duties.

I think SAF is in trouble with his marriage oledi... tongue.gif

Pique: SAF is my second father
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

But seriously, his departure really a big lost for Man Utd. Lucky that we still have Evans for replacement though Pique was better scoring goals from corners.
The timing was perfect for him coz he won a back to back Champions League medal first with Man Utd then the next year with Barcelona.
This guy has won almost every title in both Spain and BPL, not forget the world cup as well... except Euro Cup i guess

I'm not gonna go and defend Rooney. As a father and role model, he's done himself shame. There's no one else to blame but himself. If he really craved for sex with whores, he shouldn't have gotten married in the first place. Fooling around is all fine and dandy unless you are a man with responsibilities. My concern is now for Colleen who would undoubtedly be distraught but the news. They were childhood sweethearts, and having just given birth to a child, this couldnt have come at a worst time. Rooney oh Rooney what have you done. If the allegations are true then he's let down not only his family and friends but also the millions of people who look up to him. No doubt in my mind that Fergie would sort him out.

Ladies and gentlemen.

I suggest everyone here heed bro Alien's advice.

Those who don't belong, please go back. And those who belong, please don't reply inflammatory remarks.

It's a sad day for us and Rooney as it is.

Giggs open to Wales role

QUOTE
Ryan Giggs has admitted he would be interested in managing Wales at some point in the future.

John Toshack is expected to announce his resignation after six years in charge, although he will remain at the helm until a successor is found.

A number of names have already been linked with the role and reports suggest the Football Association of Wales could approach Giggs to gauge his interest.

The Manchester United midfielder, who retired from international football in 2007, admits it would be hard to take up the position at the current time.

The 36-year-old's playing career may be drawing towards a conclusion but Giggs has continued to play a key role at Old Trafford in recent seasons and may not want to hang up his boots for a while yet.

He nevertheless concedes that it would be a dream to manage his country one day and knows from history that such appointments can be made very suddenly.

Commitments

"If you go into management, the big job is to be in charge of your country. And I'm no different in terms of thinking like that," Giggs, who has already taken Uefa coaching badges, said in the Daily Telegraph.

"At the moment it is difficult, because I still have commitments as a player.

"But I always use the Sparky (Mark Hughes) situation.

"One minute he is playing for Wales and in the Premier League with Blackburn, then the next thing you know, he is managing his country.

"Sparky never really planned for that."

Harrison - Giggs can't do both

QUOTE
Former Manchester United coach Eric Harrison has claimed that Ryan Giggs would need to call time on his playing career if he wants to take the Wales job.

Wales are thought to be on the lookout for a new manager as current boss John Toshack prepares to leave the role, with several famous Welsh names in the running for the vacancy.

There is an indication that Toshack will stay in his role for their Euro 2012 qualifiers against Switzerland and Bulgaria, but will leave his post afterwards.

Giggs, who won 64 caps for the Dragons, has been predictably touted, and is understood to be the Football Assocation of Wales' first choice.

But the 36-year-old is still very much a part of United boss Sir Alex Ferguson's first-team plans, despite the player's admission that he would consider the role.

Harrison linked up with Mark Hughes when he took the Welsh job in 1999 as his playing career was winding down.

Can't combine

However the man who guided Giggs through the ranks at Old Trafford to go on to become the most decorated player in English football history, insisted Giggs would not be able to balance playing and managing.

"It is not a cushy little number and it is not a part-time post," he told the Manchester Evening News.

"You are at the sharp end of things and these days I don't believe you could combine playing for a club at United's level and managing an international team.

"When I was with Mark we'd be jetting off all over the place watching future opponents. Then you would be going up and down the country checking on your players.

"You couldn't be playing for United at the weekend and be wondering and worrying about how the Welsh players are doing.

"If the vacancy does come up and Ryan is approached then he has a massive decision to make."

When Paddy met Scholes

QUOTE
United legend and MUTV pundit Paddy Crerand sat down to interview Paul Scholes recently, in a new series with his own unique style of questioning...

Paddy Crerand: Paul, every fan wants to ask you this: who taught you how to tackle?! You must be the worst tackler God’s ever produced! Does the boss not mention it?
Paul Scholes: [Laughs] Before every game he says “watch your tackles”.

PC: What was it like to play your first game for United?
PS: It was Port Vale away and there had been a lot of talk about the manager resting players to play the younger lads in the League Cup. I knew all the lads from growing up in the youth team, so that obviously helped and I managed to do quite well.

PC: What about the ‘99 European Cup final – that must have been a big disappointment…
PS: It was disappointing not to play as I had played in quite a few of the games leading up to it. But for me the most important thing was that we won.

PC: You must have been thinking whether you’d ever get the chance to play in the European Cup final. When Denis Law didn’t play in ’68 he wouldn’t accept his medal. Were you the same?
PS: Yeah I was, me and Roy (Keane) both got medals but they didn’t mean anything to either of us because we hadn’t been a part of it. You have to play in the final to warrant a medal, that’s my opinion. It’s the biggest game of the whole competition and you have to be on the pitch or at least on the bench to earn a medal.

PC: Players nowadays are far better equipped to play on longer. How long can you keep playing for?
PS: I haven’t made any decisions yet but last Christmas, as far as I was concerned, I wasn’t going to be playing on in 2010/2011 as I wasn’t playing well. Luckily things improved towards the end of the season. You need to be playing well to get into the team. I always set myself high standards as I want to feel that I am contributing to the team. If I’m not doing that then there is no point being here.

funny thing about boltons england defender.these days players seems to have strange things tide up in their contracts to possibly fend potential suitors or just plain milking more penny out of them.

i wonder if there are more weird ones, like "his price goes up when he owns 10 sports cars, 3 mansions and sleeps with 2 high priced call girls".... tongue.gif

its actually a clause in Gary Cahill's contract that will raise his minimal transfer fee if he managed to cap for England in order to force Bolton to accept the negotiation
