I think that is a bit of a misconception. I also think that Carrick is way past it. Now you can all attack me ...

I won't attack you But to say he's past it is a bit much. He by no means should be a key player or who we build a squad around but his passing stats are still very very high and our win percentage with him and Schniederlin in the team to be fair is a lot better than without. If used sparingly and right can be very useful in games for us.

If your up in a game and things start getting a bit rushed and the pressure hits, like a few times last season when we was leading going into the last 15 minutes and the younger players nerves kick in and play hoof ball, you need players like Carrick to come in and keep things simple. Get the ball and keep it, slow the game down and let players re-group. You cant buy that kind of experience. Definately still good enough to start a fair share of games and to come on late on to steady things.

He'll still start a few Europa games, especially in the group stages. Also he's a good player to have when the fixtures pile up over Christmas and need to rotate. Depending how he does this season, and how some of the kids progress, I'd even consider keeping him for another year next year aswell.

I actually think he was never that great anyway. I always thought we went for the wrong West Ham player (Lampard miles better though yes they play in different positions). Carrick in almost all major matches tends to be by passed/overrun by opposition midfielders.

Carrick has been class for us and a very important player over a successful last 10 year period imo. Suppose each to there own

rings the changes: Red Devils make key appointment
MANCHESTER UNITED have brought in John Peacock to their academy set up, according to reports.

Looks to be a very good appointment. Woodward and Mourinho are doing a good job right now behind the scenes, with the Academy and Scouting. Bodes well for the future.

Yes lol just watched the interview. It's so obvious it's nearly as bad as Mourinho coming. What do you think to the Embolo/ Pogba talk. A lot of it about today can see something in both, obviously Pogba extremely hard but cash is there.

I don't think Pogba is realistic target. Either he'll stay or to Madrid.

Today Leipzig local paper reported that move broke down because player wants man Utd move isn't it? Not worried about the player, looks more like one for the future than who can make impact now. Also lot of young players who move from smaller leagues to bigger fall to adapt or step up.

Yeah saying we offered better terms also. Watched him a few times, definite talent and one for the near future. Like you say all depends how they handle it. Pretty excited though having seen him play. And not to pricey either at 15.6m

Apparently Nani has a £6m release clause in his contract and we have agree'd terms for him to come back. Is this somebody's idea of a sick joke? Please god no. Everton are supposed to want him aswell

So what happening with De Gea right now, do I take him out of my dream team lol

 

[Tyton]

Apparently De Gea is involved in some massive sexual scandal in Spain. Under-age prostitution, pornstars, drugged girls, bukake parties, the whole package. The cops have being taping communications for months while it was going on.

He's finished if this comes through.
