The Manchester United Thread

Even if United officials raped a truck of montain goats while negotiating the transfer, worst thing that's gonna happen is some ****** fine to United or Raiola. Then they will appeal and it will be reduced to even shittier fine.

You heard it here first.

Worst case scenario, a transfer ban. And that, would really **** up United.

It would save some money in the inflated transfer market, and maybe even mean Jose will have to go with the youth prospects. It could turn into a win win situation in that respect.....

Although I don't see it happening (like I said, worst case scenario), Mourinho is just not the type to play the young guns. He only does it when he has no other choice, or expecting a defeat, and setting himself up with an excuse. I really don't have anything against the man, but his history with promoting academy players is not the highlight of his career by any chance.
 
city were only fined for their breach of drug testing or whatever it was so how can we have a ban for a lesser offence?no way will fifa want any troube with th =e glazers belive me on that

They have however got a ban for tapping up youngsters as have Liverpool. Which can only be a good thing for other academies. Stop the big boys stealing the potential and maybe we will see more British talent coming through instead of them getting stuck in the reserves or discarded by big clubs.

Both those bans, plus the other investigations currently ongoing, are spurious at best down to the PL changing the rules during the process. It won't stop City in any way, shape or form from hoovering up kids. They have individual scouts at every level going right down and the incentives clubs like the two Manchester clubs and Chelsea offer are always going to be more tempting to poorer families. You can go through virtually every City team from aga 7/8 up and find at least one Liverpudlian kid in there who'll more than likely end up discarded before his first pro-contract and end up starting over semi-pro or the lower leagues if he's lucky Or just completely lost the game.

The whole system here is completely flawed.

true that! City are terrible though they just try tapping up any youngster that's of any quality from any academy or age group. I've been told that they have tried to poach Gomes, Gribbin, Buffonge, Williams from us numerous times. Even now still with Gomes. It's a big reason Pool, Everton, Utd wrote and threatened to boycott games against City academy at all levels.

Does look smart but that speckled ***** from '90-'92 brings instantly to mind Peter Beardsley. :D.

Chances missed a plenty costing Utd dear. You're going full blown retro all ways round huh? :P.

Both Black and Red strips next season are the best ones we've had in a while imo. Maybe since we had that white black and gold in 06/07 with the AIG sponsor
 
got this horrible feeling in my gut,convinced we will deal with celta tonight but come the final ive got a funny feeling about it
 
Not worried about tonight. Celta were **** last week and **** at the weekend! All this resting players has seen them play worse. Resting players doesn't guarentee anything except no injuries. And Ajax are good and have a lot of young talent. But they've been inconsistent most the season. I fancy us to do both matches.
 
Second tie at home is always tricky, all it takes is one goal and you're at huge disadvantage.

It has come down to that EL semi game against Celta de Vigo can be so important game? Match to remember for decades.

after watching his interview on MUTV he clearly meant in our history during his tenure at the club. This really is a huge 2 games. Not just as it getting CL football. But could give this squad a huge boost like when Ronny and Rooney went on to win there first big trophy together in 2004 I think it was. And really give us some serious momentum going into the Summer and especially next season.

Vigo have been excellent away this year in Europe too. The two wins in Ukraine/ Russia in particular, the knock-outs. To go win that second leg in Donetsk, who were one of the favourites, 2-0 the first knock-out round after losing at home 1-0 shows these are no mugs at all.

They can't be as poor as last week again surely? But Utd certainly can be as profligate as they've shown all season. The reason why Vigo are still WELL in this tie.

Might have to look at the odds on Aspas scoring when I get home. :P.

You'd have to favour Utd but as it currently stands Vigo have every chance of an upset.

Hoping for something like this tonight! Really like Lingard and Rashford playing close to eachother, and with Mata and Mkhitaryan playmaking from the wings and Pogba/Herrera to dictate the game! Blind has been great actually at CB so should play tonight, he could also play LB with Smalling at CB.. but I don't think Smalling was good against Arsenal so I hope not.. :( Could also be Romero in goal, but I think they will shift now and Romero will get his chance in PL?

But anyways.. sad but true.. Fellaini will most likely start. :(

Think it will be Lingard over Mata on the wing. With Carrick or Fellaini in a 433 with Jose trying to control the game. Oh and Romero will defo start.
