I have a client who is a local radio presenter who also does work at the matches and he informs me that until recently it was HBA that insisted he was not fit enough to start for the team and not Pardew keeping him on the bench. How true it is though I dont know?

if it is then hes showing a good bit of sense, been unlucky with the injuries, and mention of pardew wanting to sign him so doubt he'll want to risk him, still a good few years ahead of him if he's looked after.
 
Nickg is about a week behind everyone isn't he :D

Fergie has said today that there's no problems with his contract negotiations

Welbeck better than Berbatov? :D

My word.

I dont think there's any doubt that Welbeck is more suited to playing with Rooney than Berbatov, whether that makes him a better player though it's hard to say. Welbeck's certainly got more pace, better work ethic, is probably a better finisher.... a lot of people on the CAF praise his link up play as well, personally I'd probably give Berbatov the nod on that as well as his hold up play, first touch.... different kinds of centre forwards tbh. Glad we have them both, hopefully for a long time as well

That sentence makes no sense as it infers you are addressing your question to wellbeck, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't post here. Good luck with that.

I read it as him correcting you with the correct spelling, then entering a commar to continue to then ask you a question asking why you can't read before you post.
 
I've asked before if he has learning difficulties but he took it as a slur so I left it at that.

Does anyone know if there is anything concrete in united's pursuit of the young Crystal Palace right back? I read it on a transfer rumour forum last night and now I can't find it again. Looks a cracking little player everytime I have seen him and seems highly rated by CP fans. v, v fast!
 
Surprised at comments about Wellbeck being on par with Berbatov. I certainly don't think so, not at the moment. It also sounds like he is being advised by the same people as that Morrison chap, asking for stupid amounts of money for someone of his age and experience.
 
Is he though? I mean he seems to be our first choice striker pair now at one of the biggest clubs in the world. Papers reported he wanted about £65k and that we wanted around £40-45k. This is what happens when you make such a young experienced player first choice though, he's going to want the wage that reflects that position.
 
Have to admit I don't know what Man Utd's wage structure is like. I also wonder if Berba's not playing as much as he should due to his contract situation.

However, 21 years old, fringe of the first team, 25ish first team career starts? Should he really be expecting 60-65k a week? Wasn't there also an issue before he went on loan to Sunderland with his contract then?
