I'm amazed at how many people are sad about O'Shea leaving... he is shocking!

average skill /low paid work horse never caused trouble or had any issue with being left out

Everyone may all love the headliners - but where would any club be without their own OShea's (and Brown to be fair in his younger days)
 
I don't mind O'Shea, he really isn't THAT bad.

Still, Rafael and Fabio can both cover his familiar positions, they shouldn't have any injury issues hopefully and they are both far more entertaining to watch and like to attack.

I really hope we put this money towards a decent midfielder, if we get just one of Nasri, Sneijder, Modric, etc. I'll be happy.
 
I tried to get to that Spurs match but couldnt get a ticket - he did well but what a horrendous feeling knowing how long Utd had to cope with OShea as the last man in defence lol
 
You would think the local council will demand a rather large fee if they allow it to go ahead.

Not likely. There will very likely be a lot more news beyond the naming rights coming out in the not too distant future though. The planned redevelopment not just for City but the whole of East Manchester, funded primarily by Sheik Mansour, is mind blowing. The council won't be asking for a few paltry pennies from the naming rights given what else is planned for their benefit.
 
Reports in Italy saying we've signed (or agreed to sign) John Arne Riise for ~2.6m euros. Great signing that, hes still 'only' 30, and pretty much the same price we paid for Salcido who is homesick.
 
That O'Shea chip clip showed how much you will miss Scholes, as opposed to O'Shea :D

When Scholes was capable of playing like that ......yes.....but the team has seen less and less of that as time has gone one (still a valuable player to have, but shouldnt be mistaken for losing Scholes of 3 - 4 - 5 years ago either)
 
Now for Gibson to follow Brown and Oshea. Even though i will miss Oshea. Not the best defender in the world but does his job.

Ditto for O'Shea?

Papers should be made to give more of an inkling who their sources are, most of these transfer storys seem so far from the truth it is unreal.

Our local paper up here just reads the Aberdeen FC forum and prints any made up rumour on there. Doubt it is much different in nationals. :P
 
Nope, Liverpool fan i just wish we didn't let the player go, He made a mistake for us just before he left own goal i think soon as that happened Rafa just dropped him (Cant remember full details was awhile ago obv)

Oh right :P :( I'm a Roma fan, and am not happy seeing him go. He did have a bad last season, but still :/ He did so much good to the team. Granted he wanted to leave, but 2.6M? :(

And that incident was in the semi final against Chelsea, and it was the away goal chelsea needed to qualify?

If I remember correctly :P

Well he is 30 now so you wont get much for him i dont even think we let him go for allot.

Possibly that game thanks for reminding me! :( I have only seen him play a couple times since he left us and he did okay but if its off a bad season it would effect his price no doubt
 
United fans sad at loosing O'shea?.... They continually berated him ? :confused:

I fully expect a huge rave when Park leaves according to certain members on here.

30 ain't too old tbf.Had 1/2 years in him still :P And his shot was still powerful! And those throw ins!

Yeh was that game pretty sure. He had a meh season, but the one before was amazing :/ Should have gotten around 5M imo.
