I'm not sure on that, he was superb in 2008-09 season, especially defensively. Yeah he improved his game last season in at least one area. He showed some leadership skills that he lacked before.

Obviously you would know more about Carrick being a United fan, but no doubt he is now a very good player
After the 09 final he had a poor (by his standards) year and a bit. Because of that people forget that he was excellent 06-09. A key part of the fact that we have the longest unbeaten run in Europe (25 games) set during that period

Not really, actually look at what he does. If you can see what Arteta does and you cant see what Carrick does, then you are being somewhat ridiculous.
Probably. Conflicting reports saying he favours Arsenal or Wolfsburg.
Yeap. I'd say he was our best player in pre-season.
He has that edge back. Especially as he is being deployed through the middle.
I would have him at 10, Cazorla wide, Wilshere and Arteta the deep duo. Try and get Gustavo in for added steel.

Yeap. He stick to basics on end of last season to great effect and now that his confidence is up again he's showing that old pre injury Rambo promise. Though unless we sign Gustavo I'd keep him deeper alongside Arteta and play Rosicky at 10.
We also signed Park Chu-Young and Santos for just over £10m... Just saying
Didn't we sign Cazorla really early on, before the window officially opened?
Statistically it is... but he was playing for a worse club most of his career, and with a less attacking mentality with most of his managers.
His best ever season came at Koln
Keep forgetting about TR. Yeah I would go with that instead.
So when I tell someone he's wrong I get told off, you tell someone he deserves to be shot, everything's fine?
HYPOCRISY AND CORRUPTION
ESPNFC: Soccer Luiz Gustavo keen on Arsenal switch
“I am in a delicate situation at Bayern, and this needs sorting out. I have personal and professional reasons to move. I have heard about the Arsenal interest. It’s a big club we’re talking about here, so of course I’d like to play for them.”
“Arsenal play a very attractive brand of football and are in the Champions League,” he added. “They also have a very clever manager in Arsene Wenger. Even when Bayern beat them in the last Champions League, you could see they are not pushovers.”

"Everyone is equal, but some are more equal than others"
And for £14 million (reported by The Guardian), he's an absolute steal. Great move by Wenger if it happens.STOP it your getting me excitedi really hope we get him

I know...
Not only did we manage to offload Chamakh, but we also managed to get money for him from Palace. Hahaha.
