Midfield problems
-
As posted by CHoCo^LaTcH, Fergie expects ruud to return, click on http://www.sgforums.com/?action=thread_display&thread_id=201369 for more details..
Strikers department not much worry now as Smith convert back to striker.. Ruud may not be leave.. So there will be a list of strikers available..
Dong Fangzhou - Ruud - Rooney - Saha - Ole - Rossi - Smith
Not quite worrying, but they need to be able to score goals as well..
Now Man Utd really have to concentrate on their midfield.. But will there be any of them willing to come to Man Utd? -
I think all along for the past 2 seasons that have been the reason. I have no doubts about our striker department and lately our defence looks buffed with addition of latest Vidic and a promising Evra. Heinze has been brilliant and hopefully he won't get injured again.. It has always been the midfield, especially the centre of the park. This area is the engine of any team. It is very important because it is the one that breaks down opposing team's attack and it is also the one that sparks its own team's attack..
Now, who do we have actually? Giggs has been used last season, but seriously is he in the mould of Gerrard, Lampard, Deco? And Keane's replacement is very very important. Such a waste Butt had to go last time. He had the tenacity. Park Ji Sung is hardworking but he is often outmuscled by others. Wondering why SAF is not making a move for Gattuso. Is it because he is old?
TO SIR ALEX FERGUSON, GET THE MIDFIELDERS QUICK!!

I think if u were United manager, United would have been in more debts!
U see, United already has plenty of midfielders to choose from and wad they need now is a midfield enforcer, i.e, defensive midfielder, who can protect the backline as well as spray passes around.
To me, Vieira is the best choice. He's good at defending, quick at launching counter-attacks, great leader and he's cheap as well.
Wad United should do is:
1) Revert Smith back to his natural position
2) Sell Ruud.
3) Offer Sub roles for Giggs and Scholes and test out replacements like Richardson and Rossi.
4) Purchase Vieira and put him as captain
5) Forced that idiot Neville to retire
Ok. Here's my prefered starting 11:
GK Van der Sar
RB Brown
CD Ferdinand
CD Vidic
LB Heinze
RM Ronaldo
AM Scholes
DM Vieira
LM Richardson
ST Rooney
ST Saha
Sub
GK Steele (No choice, Howard and Foster out on loan)
RB O'Shea (Mr. Utility)
LB Evra (Rising Star)
CM Giggs
ST Smith
Backups
LM Park
ST Rossi
Fergie! Do something about freaking Neville!
Cheers.

actually not really worrying as what you guys thought..
Man U's best squad always builds around youth talents..
and thats what Fergie is doing now...
with Rooney, Ronaldo, vidic, smith, rossi, richardson etc...
of coz die heart fans like us wanna see a few new signings..
read abt latest rumour on Torres..
Think he will suits in well...imagine a partnership of him and rooney...
haha...we will be seeing 2 bulldogs..
erm...I thought Owen Hargreave is better than Carrick.
of coz, Guttusso will be best! -

Do u think people like Richardson, Rossi & Smith will have any chance of playing if Giggs, Scholes and Neville are still in the squad?
Fergie's policy is to play the players whom he trust, never mind if they're already of certain age!
Torres is a no-go. He publicly announce his decision to stay.
Yes! I hope Ruud goes there n Hargreaves swap to Old Trafford.
Please, not Gattuso. He plays real dirty and collects yellow and red cards like trading cards!
Cheers.

somehow i like richardson and think that he is good.. but my friend does not agree with me
-
I like him too! =)Originally posted by Dead_Man_Inc:somehow i like richardson and think that he is good.. but my friend does not agree with me
Cos i'd prefer him on the left and Ronaldo on the right.
O'Shea and Scholes, Center.
Giggs and Park on the bench.
Cheers.

Richardson is good agreed... O'Shea plaing centre mid? Don't think so.. I prefer Park Ji Sung to be a first team regular any time.

Hehe. Cos every team needs a defensive midfielder to do all the dirty work, i.e. Tackling, breaking down play and passing the ball to a more offensive player.Originally posted by dinky1409:Richardson is good agreed...

Arsenal uses Gilberto, since Vieira left. Chelsea have Essien and Makelele. Liverpool uses Alonso. United has no choice.
Ever since Butt and Keane left, the slot has been left open. Phillip Neville tried and failed. So too did Djemba-Djemba & Smith. Ferdinand was once used there remember? This shows that United lack a defensive midfielder.
Players like Vieira, Carrick and Javier Mascherano has been linked to United becos of their defensive capabilities in the middle of the park.
Since O'Shea is a strong utility man. Fergie is left with no choice but to play him unless he signs a much better defensive midfielder.
I think signing Park is to a certain extent, a mistake.
He's too small size to fit EPL. Yes, he can take on defenders but does he has the stamina to run at them for a full 90 mins? I don't think so. If u've noticed, most of the time he'll be substituted before the final whistle.
I recommend Quaresma of Porto fame.
Cheers.
