The thing that worries me with Chicharito is that there are already clubs happy to give him regular football and we know that players pretty much dictate what happens...... so if he wants to go he will go.

Not sure Rooney's threats to go was a publicity stunt. He was definitely right about the club not showing ambition and buying at the lower end of the market. Chicharito was the only player out of 5 or 6 players they bought that was worthy of a Man Ute shirt.

As for the Glazers, they will not let go for a while yet...... as much as SAF has done for the club he is partly the reason the Glazers will stay longer. The team is nowhere as strong as it was a few years ago..... they sold EGOnaldo bought Valencia and then what? No chance to win the Champions League again IMHO. Last year the team over achieved thanks to SAF.

Yes, Nani should go and he is playing like he knows he is going. There was some potential there when he first came but he was played too much on the left when his best position was on the right and then he stopped developing. Anderson is another that should go, not because he is a bad player but he is injury prone and everytime he plays I feel he will get injured again. Cleverly needs time and I hope by the end of next season we will know better..... he is a late developer.

Bale is a terrific player and I would love him at Man Ute but we need another CM badly. Moldrish (spelling) was the player but SAF got scared of loosing his underpants in another deal with Spurs I think :laugh: - We should let Spurs handle the sale of our players as we seem to be given them away lately :laugh:

Your right on Nani he is playing the Ronaldo way now as in just turning up wont be here long i just cant see us getting good money for him now and to lose money on what seemed a good prospect when he was bought is a bit of a kick in the preverbials ! Your deffinatly right on the centre midfield role crying out for a young Scholes replacement and Modric would have fitted in perfectly with Carrick or Fletcher (if he can stay fit) playing the holding role. We certainly need a playmaker Nick Powell looks a good investment he can play a good pass and has the shot of a mule. However weather he will be happy playing League Cup / FA Cup games and the odd League appearence remains to be seen ?

Wesley Sneijder would have been a good buy a couple of seasons ago however 28 now although not past it certainly aint getting any younger.

However Jack Wilshire im sure will wise up by the end of the season and will leave the Goons just like the rest so if he stays fit for the remainder of this season he would be an excellent buy.

Wesley Sneijder is indeed a great player but his salary demands are too high for us I think.

We will never replace Scholes really, like we will never replace EGOnaldo - but SAF always comes up with a new player / system that gives us the edge in the PL.

Hopefully Nick Powell does well and makes the first team regularly, that what they bought him for.

Jack Wislshire is a player to brake the bank for..... like Rooney was when he came to us.

Nani was the shadow of ronaldo and always has been. With Rooney ATM he's more settled in the man utd club so your best playing him more central in the midfield in front of the two strikers. He's not getting any younger so let him be. Rid valencia absolutely useless he's one dimensional w

the mention of Anderson upthread puts me in mind of Jan Molby.

Valencia is one dimensional ????? Are you talking the team Valencia i take it :eek: he is a class act mate he can skin most defenders in Europe i seem to remember him mugging off Cashley Cole in the Prem 2 weeks ago and if you listen to the pundits Cole is one of the best left backs in the world :crazy: Valencia would be one of the first on my team sheet every week solid reliable pace and a deadly final ball.

Exactly that. Does exactly what it says on the tin. So one dimensional.

Well for me mark he is
Bale for instance is a flanker but he has more to offer what else has Valencia got to offer?

Apart from crosses and running down the flank and the odd tippy toes

Agreed Valencia isnt as good as Bale as a versatile player however Bale was originally played as a left back was he not ?? but Valencia he is up there with the best in PL as an attacking force when it comes to speed ,crossing ,ball control tippy toes etc and as an out and out winger id say thats his main job.
