Man Utd Thread:

Not sure if this is a great signing, if it happens. Don't see Berbatov as a player to displace Rooney or Tevez in the first team for the big matches and can't see him liking the subs bench too much. I'd have rathered see United buy a couple of strikers who are more likely to be satisfied playing 2nd fiddle to Rooney and Tevez - the likes of Dean Ashton who'd do well for United in the league, especially against the weaker sides.

Looking more and more like he'll hang onto Ronaldo. It'll all end in tears with him fecking off Madrid in a year or 18 months for about half the fee currently available.

The only thing I'd say about that TAM is I've my doubts if the cash is really there. Madrid are full of shit.

Marca reporting Glazers will let him go.

I fully agree that madrid are full of it, they do not have the money to buy ronaldo now but are trying, and suceeding, in unsettling the player and probably hope to get him cheap in a years time.
As for berbatov, I think he holds up the ball well and is strong in the air. He is a bit of a sulker and a lazy git so i doubt you could play him and ronaldo in a tough game. However I do think he would link well with either rooney or Tevez as they would no longer have to play the out and out striker and could drop back to the number 10 position that suits them better.

Marca make up stories worse than any of the British tabloids. They basically cover Madrid all day, every day, so any sort of rumour, innuendo or gossip gets printed as a story.

I'd like to see Aguero arrive. Wonder is it realistic.

Not a big fan of Berba's. Would rather see a poacher like Huntelaar - cheaper, younger, and what we need.

He is a lazy b'stard but with Fergie and Rooney lighting a collective fire under his ass he should get a good goal return.  Not seen enough of Hunterlaar other than in Euro08.   You need to watch a player week-in week-out to know if they are ManU material.  Lesser players can eek out a decent living at Liverpool, Arsenal etc but only the best can make a career at Old Trafford..

I'd prefer Huntelaar myself. he'd cost half what berb would and has a lot of potential. if he doesn't make the starting xi straight off it won't be a problem. that said, beratov is quality

Heard Graham Hunter on about this lad the other night and he sounds like the next big thing.

Such bait but what the hell...


Darren Fletcher, John O'Shea, Silvestre, Saha  etc etc

[The Corporal]

Guys has anyone heard any news on the player we signed on a free in January called Manucho? Has he been drafted back in for pre-season or what is the craic with him. Anyone know if he's any good?

[nifan]

He scored a cracker in one of the first games of the African Cup of nations. Think he made the team of the tournament as well.

I could have sworn these guys have Champions League & Premiership winners medals. Could be mistaken!!

[open her out]

If we do sign Berba or Huntelaar what does that mean for Rooney an tevez??? If Ron stays which i hope he will hes obviously gonna ocupy the right side so does that mean tevez an either of the signings up front an rooney on the left? in big games id rather be more balanced with either Giggs or Nani on the left.....

Nani could be one to watch this year.

Does that make them the best players, or part of the best team?
Id venture the latter.
