No there isn't hence why people are having a chat.
Do you have any transfer stories or just just your oar to stick in?

carrick was never at the top of his game. he has looked slow, laboured and unable to come to terms with life at man utd.. like i say we are forced to play 3 centre midfielders when he plays to make up for his lack of pace, or tackling ability. and his passing isn as great as he would have you believe either!
he WAS lucky to sign ronaldo. its only because we happened to play them in a pre season friendly and then Giggs and other senior players badgered fergie into signing him because he completely outskilled all of our players...infact aresenal were wanting him but because we had a mutual agreement with sporting at the time we were able to leverage this and buy him first.
now is that luck or a fantastically scouted signing by fergie?
wrong to buy an injury prone player who just got majorly injured? probably yes, his future returns in terms of appearances for UTD back this up entirely.
hargreaves has a total of 26 appearances plus a sub in 3 years....
yea but somehow Inter didnt think he was so terrible and were willing to spend 12mill for him...
No where did Moratti (sp) say we'd made an offer, all he said is he believes that we're interested, that interest which is only being reported by the media and all Moratti said was that if an offer came in they'd reject it
Until they confirm we've made a bid or even better Fergie has confirmed our interest in the player like he did with Villa I say is balls that we're in for Sneijder

Imagine how much Ferguson could do and would have won if he was as preternaturally gifted as you seem to think managers should be. For a manager who just gets lucky and makes so many wrong decisions he hasn't half done well to have won so much at both Aberdeen and Manchester United.
Of course he gets things wrong, maybe he even gets more wrong than right (although I'd doubt it) but then if you look at other managers he's got a pretty damn good record so if he's poor then what does that make the rest?
Ferguson is terrible, he signs underperforming players, players thats aren't good enough and then signs players that we were lucky to get because of link ups with clubs that he put in place.
It's lucky that we had that golden generation that he didn't nurture through the ranks and bring into the first team.
It's no wonder he's never won anything.

I still think he has something up his sleeve, I don't think Wenger is short sighted enough to expect us to play the start of next season with only 3 CB's.
Wage bill should be cut quite a bit. I don't know what Sol and Silvestre were on but I think Gallas was on about 60k a week and all three of those are now free agents. Not really sad that any of them are going, it was nice for Campbell to have another season with us and he did quite well for a pensioner. It's a shame Wenger isn't as ruthless with some of the youngsters as he is with his AXA Over 30's plan. No idea what's going to happen now though in terms of transfers. We need a goalkeeper but we need another CB more. Looks like we'll be going through another season with Almunia, that's okay as long as Flappyhandski isn't backing him up, I'd rather have Mannone before him and believe it or not when Mannone had his 8 game run in the first team last season Arsenal were unbeaten for the duration.
Yep you're desperately short in numbers in defence
Not saying the likes of Silvestre or Senderos were good players but at least they were bodies
No chance Wenger will go into next season with Vermaelen, Djourou and this new lad as the only recognised centre backs... well I dont think there is
We have Tom Cruise! Okay, he's not a CB but I'm sure he has a few stunt doubles to make up the numbers.Yep you're desperately short in numbers in defence

I've had too many seasons of Arsene Wenger to ever count my chickens before they've hatched. Plenty of times people have said "Oh no, I have a sneaky feeling he'll get someone else in before the season starts", only for nothing to happen. So far I'm only going to assume we've signed two players, because we have.
I've heard he likes to fly into challenges though.We have Tom Cruise! Okay, he's not a CB but I'm sure he has a few stunt doubles to make up the numbers.
sorry
Tutz.
Yes, he doesnt respond well to the referees authority either, he is a bit of a maverick.

Cringe worthy.
Well, I dont know...certainly its a Risky Business but he is showing All The Right Moves. In time he could develop into a Legend, its a possibility thats not all that Far And Away. As long as he keeps his feet on the ground and doesnt play with his Eyes Wide Shut or get lured by The Colour of Money then I think he could certainly turn out to be one of A Few Good Men.
