The Manchester United Thread

That's true, and the likes of Yashin are up there too in terms of pure reflex speed, but personally I think Iker has the edge, just on opinion.

Yashin practically invented most of the stuff modern goalkeepers do, so there's that.

Torres didn't reveal how they 'lied' to him. But if it was for squad improvements then he's full of ****. The board had spent 40 million that season. Either way if he wasn't happy with the board why would he say that he is as committed to Liverpool as we was when he signed his contract last season, before going onto hand in the transfer request a week later.

He's just being professional, keeping the dirt under the carpet. Or are you assuming he flat out lied? Why else would he leave, then? Its no secret he felt great in Pool, but they did not win a thing for years, so there's that.

Michael Owen then. Paul Ince is probably best example.

Mmm, fair examples.

It's the old invention vs perfection argument. Is Yashin greater because he invented it, or Casillas better because he took those inventions and took them to the apex of performance?

Ah, like the Beatles and One Direction? :P
 
Ferguson is still on the "lets score more goals and not sort out anything" mentality. He apparently now wants Wilfred Zaha.

I agree with on we need to sort out the defensive side game!, but don't forget he hasn't start with regular back four consistently for very long time?. Also the David De Gea, Rafael, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Jonny Evans are still very young and still learning their games, plus with Nemanja Vidic being out for such long time and Rio Ferdinand back problems?. And we are top the league with seven points clear and qualified out of group stage of the champions league. I think he's looking at other options with Nani & Ashley Young who both inconsistent and plus he's young English player (I know he's not born here, but 'he's played for England now!). And who are will we question Sir Alex, after what he's have achieved with United!.

I'm looking forward to see Anglo Henriquez go out on loan to Wigan Athletic for rest of season. I've had look at his record at international level (full international, u'23, u'20) and his first season in the Chilean league, he look great prospect for the future?.
 
Goddamnit man stop using question marks. The voice in my head is reading it with one of those ultra irritating American teen ascending terminal accents.

We don't have that many strikers really?, Only have four first team front line strikers, Robin Van Persie (29), Wayne Rooney (27), Danny Welbeck (22) & Javier Hernandez (24), backup striker Federico Macheda (21) you wouldn't want to rely on him to score goals on regular bases. Bebe (22) really is a winger and big disappointment! and Shinji Kagawa (23) is more attacking midfielder, other players that could play in forward role are Antonio Valencia (27) is more a right winger really, Ashley Young (27), Nani (26) and Ryan Giggs (39). Nani and Ashley Young still very inconsistent plus Ryan Giggs is not getting any younger!. Don't think Joshua King (20) is good enough to make grade?, on loan at Blackburn Rovers, Nick Powell (18) is being groomed for midfield role, maybe replace Paul Scholes (38) role in midfield. So look at ages and the depth in the squad?. Last season we had five first team front line strikers, Michael Owen, Dimitar Berbatov, Wayne Rooney, Javier Hernandez & Danny Welbeck!. Anglo Henriquez (18) one for future!, Sir Alex has always tried to plan for future and not just for now!.

why did you have to point that out, now I can't stop noticing it!
 
I was worried that RVP would be injured all season and everyone would laugh at us for wasting money on him.
Kinda starting to love this guy.
 
I had the same worries.

Fell in love with him the moment he scored his first goal :wub:
