Tell me you are kidding me.

It's true. :eek:

Good, but probably means we won't buy anyone now.

Cosimo · 8 Jan 2012 at 12:06

Looking forward to the rerun of the 2010 final this afternoon at the Bridge.

Shamikebab · 8 Jan 2012 at 12:06

Oh good how embarrassing. Our squad is so deep that we have to beg retired players to come back.

Biz.Kid09 · 8 Jan 2012 at 12:06

Pantilimon, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Kolarov, A. Johnson, de Jong, Milner, Silva, Nasri, Aguero

Not what i expected at all!

The alternative to Scholes rejoining was no-one being signed so I prefer this IF we sign someone in summer. Prediction

City 0-1 United (Scholes 90')

Shamikebab · 8 Jan 2012 at 12:08

Has Scholes even trained for 6 months??

Scholes approached Fergie.

Edit: and yes, apparently he's been training with the reserves.

supposedly Scholes has trained every day while managing the kids, but who really knows...

lemonkettaz · 8 Jan 2012 at 12:13

I never thought this was going to actually happen.

Desperate

BREAKING TEAM NEWS: As suggested earlier, Joe Hart is rested for Manchester City with Costel Pantilimon starting. Midfielders Samir Nasri and Adam Johnson both start.

resting Hart lol

lemonkettaz · 8 Jan 2012 at 12:13

Where is Roy Keane? Andy Cole?

Shamikebab · 8 Jan 2012 at 12:13

Does a goalkeeper really need resting :/

Azza · 8 Jan 2012 at 12:16

Mancini obviously sees Man U's attack as no threat at all.

And Scholes! Amazing!

Azza · 8 Jan 2012 at 12:16

Scholes: first central midfielder #MUFC have signed since 2007. Good luck to him, naturally, but all seems faintly desperate.

Gooner14 · 8 Jan 2012 at 12:17

He was registered on Friday, so how come no one picked up on it!

Robbo · 8 Jan 2012 at 12:22

Scholes...

Bucket · 8 Jan 2012 at 12:32

Perhaps Scholes hasn't taken it from the angle that we need another midfielder, and as he says on the site, that he just misses playing football and feels he can go on and SAF has said yes.

It's not that far fetched at all.

I fully expect Remi Moses to be fully fit for our UEFA tie with Ajax later this year
