480 for a tener Big risk but its fine

Martin and Bardsley have both been let downs IMO and havent shown anything that they are ready to play for Man U's first team. Martin has had the Ibrox injury bug and has barely kicked a ball.

I fancy 4 aways in the EPL. Reading v BOLTON Sheff Utd v CHARLTON Portsmouth v VILLA Wigan v LIVERPOOL

Explain who has been better and more consistant then? Smith runs him close but thats it. He easily has strolled through most games.

I cant see him going anywhere at all but certainly needs to improve his game. Hopefully he gets in the scotland squad more often and Coisty helps him in the same way he helped Kenny Miller. As soon as McCoist came on the scene Miller's game improved a lot.

I agree he never got a fair chance at all. I see he is a free agent still - lets bring him back and see if he can do a job

And he has been our best player this season. But he is a midfielder for me (long term)

Funny boy! No 1 choice to sign!!

Yeah but doesnt it come down to results between the 2 teams? We got 2 away goals against them! But we will beat Belgrade

Hopefully he has the same eye for a player as Wenger and his signings come good. We are maybe still judging too early despite them not exactly hitting it off. But i remain confident in him and still go by what ive said all season - Dont expect anything until at least February - thats when i think we'll start seeing his team improve. But we are short of numbers at centre half anyway so we need to bring 1 in

My thoughts exactly. IF he is still the same player as a few months ago in the CL final then this is a great move by Sir Alex

Thats him got to be finished at Hearts. As i said id take him no probs

I Dont fancy any of your teams Gav Bar Southampton I havent checked the coupon yet but will do later

Loads of footballers getting in trouble in clubs just now. This one seems a bit mad

2-1 defeat at Fulham puts them 16 points behind Man Utd. They dont deserve to be up there. teams know how to play them now and they are missing a no nonsense man like Vieira or Adams. Liverpool are as bad but they have now caught Arsenal on points - 22. Chelsea jammy again with a goal right on half time to beat Bolton, but Man Utd increase the goal difference by humping everton 3-0 with a changed side. C'mon Man Utd. They have a chance to open the gap to 6 pts by beating Boro on saturday coz Chelsea dont have a game for some reason. But ManU have been beaten there in the last few years so Boro will give them a tough test.

Auxerre humped Partizan 4-1 away, but it still looks like we'll top the group if we beat Partizan

So the million pound thing is a myth? I expected as much! I also read they had taken over his contract so it sounds like its just been a straight swap. I couldnt see a Russian side paying a million for a 30 yr old SPL player who had problems anyway. But the main thing is he is off our books. Ok he did perform 1 great season for us all be it he may have been looking for a new contract, but he won us some games ie that free kick at Pittodrie in the league cup. And lets start a wee debate - What was Fernando's position?? Id say a utility man coz he was neither comfortable at RB or midfielder.

I dont think this is a bad thing, he still might become a good player. I just wish it was clear as to the long term start pair is going to be. I still want Hemdani back in midfield sitting infront of the back 4 with Clement.

Yeah heard his agent mention that. TBH i dont think many would care. He is 33 and id rather replace him with a keeper much better even if it was Niemi again who is same age. But Craig Gordon has to remain No.1 choice at the moment.

Yeah great news. Hopefully see him if first team soon 6 or 7 of that team should be aiming for first team appreances :(Letizi, Ponroy, Murray, Rae, N'Diaye, Ashikodi, Stanger) BTW who is Van den Broeck???

Really cant see him touching Coistys record. Super Ally was pretty lucky with injurys and played a lot bar for a year when Souness was in charge. He also bagged 44 goals 2 years running and that alone must be some sort of record. But Boyd will pass Larsson!

For the lazy ones:

Id say its been a better year for defenders. Zambrotta and John Terry have had as good a year as Ronaldinho and Zidane.

Just a thought, but who was the striker we had last season for a few games and he scored a few on his debut - Nieto?? I think he would have been a good player to hang on to and may have been the type of striker we are looking for.

I think the 1000 pound fine is a joke. The players also suggested this amount and knew prior that he said he is putting the money to Great Ormand St hospital. But when he probably makes 25k a week he should surely be sticking at least 5 grand in.
