United do have a lot of CM players but last season it was weak possibly due to injuries, perhaps Fergie feels that if he can keep them all fit then Anderson, Cleverly, Carrick, Scholes, Fletcher (played last night), Kagawa, Giggs (more CM than LM now) and possibly Powel will be enough. 8 players for 2 positions is quite a lot really and he would probably have to sell to get any more in. Remember Jones can play the holding midfield role well and can get forward really well which he proved last season. I think defence is the biggest issue at the moment with only Rio fit, Vidic is just coming back, Jones and Smalling I believe are unfit and possibly Evans too. Also a left back is a must buy with only Evra around now that Fabio has gone to QPR on loan. Leighton Baines was mentioned but it needs to go through soon really as it could be a real problem. If everyone is fit then I would see the United team currently as De Gea Rafael Ferdinand Vidic Evra Valencia Kagawa Cleverly Nani Rooney V. Persie Subs Lindergaard Jones Smalling Young Scholes Hernandez Welbeck Which isn't a bad side, still not as good as City but not bad. Couldn't even find room for Giggs, Fletcher, Powel or Anderson in the team but a big squad will be good for all of the competitions they will be playing in. Hopefully a LB turns up in the next few days.
Good signing, bad for Arsenlol. Vernon Anita is having a medical with us since this morning so he should be signed by tomorrow. Debuchy just got injured for France guess thats us losing out to him now.
On another note City are idiots, one of the other top clubs should snap up A. Johnson, the guy is a fantastic winger with bags of skill.
RVP signing had completed so he can play Monday. Why has Rodwell gone to city, does he really think he will get game time there?
Bit annoyed that there is no lunch time game and the first PL game on TV is in ESPN at 5. As I am on Sky and not VM I have to pay for ESPN so don't have it. Just so happens that the day my wife and daughter are out there is no football for me to watch. 2 games on Sky Sports tomorrow but we going to a BBQ. Going to have to wait until Monday to see my first live football of the season other than the charity shield. O well MOTD tonight and tomorrow anyway I guess. My wife will be happy that it is back on every Saturday and Sunday night )
Just stream games you cannot get on Sky. Thats how I watched it today. Great first day of Football today. Arsenal were held by Scumderland, Liverpool got smashed 3-0 by West Brom and we beat Tottenham 2-1. 3 points off a top 4 team already is great. Next up to take Chelsea's scalp again.
You should have at least gotten a draw from Shitty today. Aguero is crocked now so they got they're just deserts. Hopefully Unite get a loss tomorrow.
The same way they lost to Chelsea last season. The other team keep all men back to defend and hope for a counter or lucky goal.
There was news on the radio this morning about a world wide football match fixing crime ring. Thoughts?
