Manchester United

as if

since the summer this has been my go to thread for whenever i'm in a bad mood.

The Moyesiah

This never fails to pick me up

I'm convinced Ferguson will be quietly revelling in this. It'll highlight what a great job he did. I bet he can't wait until the newspaper talk of his return begins. It will play to his immense ego and he'll lap it up.

This is what I said from the start

Moyes had 10 years at his previous club and built nothing. He produced a decent top half side but wasn't ever able to make them achieve anything other than finishing above us a few times. The appointment of him at Utd was dressed up as a the start of a new dynasty but it was pretty obvious to everyone that he doesn't/didn't have what is needed to be a winner and leader of champions. Ferguson knew this and I think it's panning out wonderfully for him. it's ****ing great for the rest of us too

Bumped into a mate in town earlier, an Arsenal fan, can be a bit of a smug git but we had great craic discussing Moyes boys. Then down the street in his van comes a lad we both know, big LFC supporter, rolls his window down and roars out with a big **** off grin MOYES IN!

I think should they fail to make the Champions League they'll have mutiny on their hands:

Van Persie -No Champions League and he'll force a move. £20-30m?
Rooney - Ditto £30m?
Carrick - I think there's a chance he'll want out too. £10m?
Rio Ferdinand -Possibly he'll stay?
Shinji Kagawa - He'll surely desperate to move? £10m?
Javier Hernández - A definite goner. £10m?
Ryan Giggs - Retiring
Nani - Another they surely want rid of? £5m?
Anderson - Gone surely? £4m?
Fabio da Silva - Goner £3m?
Alexander Buttner - I think they'll probably have to keep him as Evra is crap these days.
Federico Macheda - Gone on a free
Bebe -
Fellaini - Disaster of a signing, will they cut their losses? £10-15m?

I think they could generate about £100m in sales, but they'd have to virtually rebuild the whole squad without the carrot of Champions League football to attract the top players. What a mess

Apparently Vidic will be off in the summer and I think Rio will **** off as well. I reckon they'll keep Nani who they gave a new five year deal in the summer

My valuations were largely based on the fact that United never seem to get ripped off and typically get about twice what a player is worth

The ones I know are convinced they get fleeced on purchases.

[Fivex]

Don't forget the hidden costs for all their new signings as well. Signing on & agent fees - can probably add 20% to their headline costs which will eat into their overall budget.

I wonder if Jason Ferguson is still going to get his dodgy money from deals going forward.

slumberland v manure tonight at 7.45. league cup semi final, first leg...

more pressure for gollum. be great if borini bangs a few in.

THREE IN A ROW? - Sunderland v Man Utd (1945 GMT)
After defeats by Tottenham and Swansea, Manchester United are hoping to avoid a third defeat in a row at the Stadium of Light this evening.

That simply does not happen at United - 2001 was the last time they tasted defeat three times on the bounce, and that was after they had already won the league.

[dom9]

They should win that one, or draw. It's away from Old Trafford.

[vlahka]

Its a shame we wouldnt be able to grab Kagawa off them. He'd do really well at Liverpool.

[Alex]

Guys, dont forget Nani just signed a new 5 year deal

[Fivex]

How long?

[john316]

Its a shame we wouldnt be able to grab Kagawa off them. He'd do really well at Liverpool.

- he's a player who will never make it in this country. Too slow and too weak for our league.
