I wouldn't play him over our current LM choices tbh. He's a great player, but I think we're covered for that area now.

There must be something up with his attitude or health, when he plays well he's a cracking player to have and not the kind of person you would expect to see being released for free unless there is a serious issue.
Its unlikely that Chelsea would disclose any issues anyway, so his new high paying wages club is about to find out the hard way I suppose
He's not even a bag of tricks now though, he started 22 and subbed in to 17 more games last season and the only one I missed was some midweek CC game. I honestly can't remember him adding any real contribution to any of those games (apart from a couple of goals in the PL), he tried hard though to be fair, but that's it.
Why would they replace Arsenal? I dont think Utd are as safe as they used to be. Look what happened when Rooney dropped out injured. I think Chelski are the only ones that can be sure to keep their top 4 place.
A year older and although we are losing a few defenders (apart from Gallas) most are dead wood.
Could be a new best team in Manchester this season
everyone said we were screwed without Ronaldo yet we managed to finish just 1 point adrift (because of Rooney's injury) and showed that even without Ronaldo we're still way ahead of Arsenal (must we have this debate again?)United and Chelsea will continue to be the top 2, City will break into the top 4 the only question which remains is whether it will be Spurs, Liverpool or Arsenal that make up the final spot
FYI, he's a Man City supporter
What have I EVER done to you!!!
I would support the "grubby" lot from the West end before that rabble!!
Not so sure, it will be very tight at the top this season.
I dont, when it came down to it Arsenal only ended up finished 5 points ahead of Spurs who personally I dont think will make the top 4 next season
1st United
2nd Chelsea
3rd City
4th Arsenal
IMO

That's what you get for being a West Ham supporter...
ok fair enough, still highly confusing if you ask me
Thank you for the reply though
Not sure why a lot of people on here are already righting off Man Utd
utd have strengthened this summer (albeit marginally), havent sold anyone of consequence (yet), and if anything should have a better injury record than we did last (not to mention OH who has had good reactions to his increased fitness so far by initial reports, and should be fully fit for start of the season).
Not to mention Valencia who should by all accounts hit the ground running now he knows the team better
Im not assuming at ALL that Utd have a chance at the title automatically, but no reason so far that we will fall out of the top 3, let alone fall behind that "pesky" club down the road.
Edit I hope SAF isnt wasting as much time as is being reported chasing Benzema, he may well become an excellent player but he blatantly doesnt want to come to Manchester - so please leave him in Madrid
West Ham are a nice little club in their own way lol

All but confirmed quotes from Fergie in tomorrows papers regarding no more signings this summer

Interesting that we were interested in Villa, sucks about no more signings and another long Ferdinand injury

On the flip side, injuries to key players late in the season and the fact that we threw several games away, we could've actually won the league as late as March we were still in it. Nobody has seen Man City in action yet, if they are still struggling against mid table teams next season then they don't deserve to be anywhere frankly. Especially with the obscene amounts of money that they're chucking around. They still only really have Tevez up front who I'd consider a danger, Bellamy is good on his day but when he's bad he's really bad. Adebayor isn't even a threat, laughable that they paid £24 million odd for a striker who wasn't performing and wanted away purely for the $$$. It wasn't as if we were paying him peanuts either, he's just a huge ****ing **** and hopefully Man City fans can see how frustrating he is to have as a player when he has spasms of form that last for 3 or 4 games and then goes anonymous for about an additional 10 or 15 games.

All the points regarding City I agree with which is why I still dont buy into them being a title threat however being a title threat and breaking into the top 4 are two completely different things and with the assumption that Fabrgeas will leave Arsenal I think it's going to be very tight next season between Arsenal, City, Spurs and Liverpool.

Let's say Spurs win their qualifying games for the Champions League, I'm wondering whether they will have a fit enough squad to last the entire season fighting to keep their 4th spot all the while competing in the CL and going for the cup runs that they usual do, I don't think their squad will be upto it, especially Woodgate and King. Man City can just buy cover but I don't see Mancini being the man to make them genuine Premier League contenders, I also don't see Liverpool competing next season the way things are going off the pitch for them but then I guess that's just speculation, Roy Hodgson could work wonders and they could be back where they were 2 seasons ago.

Like **** we were.
given the mess of a team you support I suspected a wind-up
four months for Rio, at least he should be back for Nov /Xmas period (never heard whether JE had surgery on his long standing ankle injury from early last season either)
