The Manchester United Thread

Sigh. I'm done. If saying we are not struggling is being disrespectful, I dont know what to say.

Here is the full interview. 3:36, you can see something has been edited out.

VIDEO: Fergie walks out of Utd - Benfica press conference

 

[Mike.]

Sometimes I feel SAF should just skip every Press conference as it is becoming tiresome seeing all these. Some paper printed "Fergie stormed off for a simple question" then starts the mediatarts problems. They wont even have watched the whole video, just comment on it for the sake of it. What ever he does is a mistake.

Edit: This is not directed at anyone.

Pretty annoying, but its always the case.

Hopefully this set back will force him to sign. Marvin Martin please

Hopefully. When we were knocked out last time in 05-06, we went on to sign Vidic, Evra then Carrick following summer. Yeah Marvin Martin would be good one. Montolivo contract is up this summer, will be available for free, so is De Rossi. Could do a trick there.

Martin fits into the young talented hungry player mould he likes. De Rossi is a proper DMC theses days, as opposed to playing through the middle though i like him as a player. I'm not sure on montolivo tbh, never quite convinces me

De Rossi a proper DM? Get out of it. That's like calling Essien a proper DM. Both are far more rounded and adventurous players than a normal DM. De Rossi has the attributes to play a DM role, but none of the discipline and restraint. Hence why I don't think he's at his best in a two man midfield.

Also, big no on Montolivo.

Would be good test to see what he can offer with quality players around. Surely one of Milan clubs of Juve will ****** him and then we can see what a quality player he is.

Tbh I dont care whom we sign as long as he is talented, quality proper CM.

This season he is playing as a proper DM. Yeah he is like Essien, he can play any role.

We will see about Montolivo. I do have faith in him. He just needs to move out from there.

Nemanja Vidic has ruptured a cruciate ligament, says agent | Football | guardian.co.uk

Great. :'(

 

[CtPauley]

Terrible injury, probably won't be seeing him play again this season.

Sayonara season?

 

[Mike.]

Depends on wether its medial or anterior. Tell you what though, the man can handle pain, didnt look too bad when he was on the sideline.

 

[markodragojevic]

Well he's a Serb!

Fergie said it's medial. And yeah he can take pain, he'll just shake it off in 2 weeks no problem.

 

[Mike.]

Fergie said it's medial.

Could return this season then. Too early to say, but its certainly much better news than anterior

 

[Joel`]

Yeah, shouldn't need surgery.

 

[ajt09]

So could it be something like say, 2 months instead of 4-5?

 

[Quasit]

So could it be something like say, 2 months instead of 4-5?

Depends. I had medial and it took me 8 months to be able to run. There are many kinds of medial. If it's not bad it could be 2 months.

 

[ajt09]

Ah right. For some reason I assumed the recovery time would be half of an anterior.

 

[Mike.]

So could it be something like say, 2 months instead of 4-5?

Could be. but we are looking at 2-4 months as opposed to 8-10

 

[Quasit]

Yea and Vidic's getting slightly better treatment that I did.
