I feel that the reason of purchasing Phil Jones is not due to lack of Centreback, Phil Jones height is almost same as Johnny Evans, I feel that the reason that AF bought him is to replace Owen Hargreaves. I have watched few games for blackburn match before, it seems like the manager likes to place him in the defensive midfielder line instead of Centreback. But for England match, they place him as centreback. It seems like he can play both position quite well. A good player he is.

Vidic is still looking good for another 1 year or 2, ( or maybe 3 ). Ferdinand I have to agree as well as his days are not long as first team. We do have 5 centreback right now ( if added phil jones will be 6 ). Right now we need someone who can tackle like Roy Keane and dominating in midfielder. The only player that able to do that is Fletcher, and currently there is no backup for his position. I think the days for carrick is kinda over to me. I myself believe that Phil jones will be awesome placing in defensive mid, which man united is struggling need this kind of player right now.

Alex Ferguson is still trying to give Evan chances to prove his worthy as First Team, he still got lots of work to do. Give him some month for him to train himself better and ever. I personally think that, a great centre back. Height is another major thing you need to think of. For example like Vidic and Ferdinand. I don't say Phil Jones would be bad in centreback because of height, he's great in CB, but if trying to win the heading, he might lose because of height.

I thought Gibson is confirmed that he will be going to Sunderland at 5mil pounds? AF did take some selection into consideration such as Ashley Young, Sneijder or even Modric. I feel that our midfielder are really really really weak. I do hope that the like of Essien type of player would join us.

Actually I hope AF does not sell those old player like wes brown. They still got one thing that other people don't have, which is experience. Understood that bringing up the youngsters are good, but having old players are important too.. I don't want Man United ends up like Arsenal >.<

Well I do treat Wes Brown as another Gary Neville. Even though he may not have future in Man United, but he's still a good player to us. He himself also know that he can still become backup and cannot request first team as potential player rise up in the team. I hope he can become coach in the future. XD

I personally don't prefer Nasri to join Man United, mainly is because his playing style is just not suitable for man united tactic. Nasri is more on a solo guy, dribbling through several players and shoot. We need someone like Pirlo style, giving nice passes to striker. Whether they are able to score , I do not care. I just care the overall teamwork and the communication.

If next season we got the 20th.. Then you need to skin it again
