I think its the right call... I've a feeling he wasn't a great influence this year.

We need a new center half but think with Evans, Smalling and Jones we're OK if we can just bring in one solid older player.

Not sure on the England center halfs.. tbh without Smalling there's a lack of pace and Jones is injury prone.. But Jags and Cahill will be first choice.... I also worry we'll be a bit like Liverpool with full backs dashing up.. Johnson's good but defensively he goes missing...

(trying to get the attention away from us....)

No cleverly either.. bloody joke!

It is nice that the non-profit, "grow all their own players" clubs, like United have such reasonable fans willing to share their thoughts with us.

You're in the process of making a 27 million bid for Shaw, a left back will plays alongside a 18 million Centre Back (Jones) who partners a 30 million Centre Back (Ferdinand) and a 10 million Right Back (Smalling) who play in front of a 18 million keeper.
Then you have the 24 million Carrick and 27 million Fellani as protection with 18 million Valencia and 24 million Nani on the wings and up front you have 30 million Rooney and a choice of 37 million Mata or 24 million Van Persie to choose from.
And that's just your 'joke' of a current team.
And you have the cheek to mention money and us:mad:

I like the look of the England squad. Great to see the youngsters in who won't hav that fear of losing I think many of our more recent players have had.
I don't worry about Smalling and Jones in this environment. I think they are actually better suited to international football than the Premier League.

Hart
Johnson, Jagielka, Smalling, Shaw
Gerrard
Lalana Wilshere or Barclay Stirling
Rooney
Sturridge

would be my 11 at the moment with lots of options as backup.

Ferdinand has gone.
Rafael is first choice right back
Carrick was £18m
Valencia was £16m
Nani was £14m

United have had a youth team player in every game since 1937.

Read that again.

And again.

Man City would have been relegated this season if only goals by English players counted: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/foo...er-League.html

You're obsessed by us... you just won the title.. celebrate... one day we may hate you as much as we do Liverpool...

It did hurt City fans knowing when it came down to the crunch, Liverpool all our rivals..

I think Rodgera has done very well but Martinez has had much fewer resources and achieved a record points haul for Everton in the Premiership

What a horrible choice for you 'bitter' rags it was.

It is a choice you'll have be making for many seasons to come too. :cool:
