Assosiated with some numbers, have gone with WellDoneFellaini

No, but I do use combinations of United players squad numbers to remember digits on things like bank accounts and passports.

You need a unqiue user ID to log into most online bank things, and my old Ulster Bank account I think was 17110032, which I remembered as NaniGiggsDoubleODiouf at the time, much easier.

[That's no longer by bank user ID by the way for any Nigerian princes in the thread]

Or if someone tells me to quickly remember a phone number I'll repeat things like "087-Park-Vidic-Fletcher-Evra" for 0871315243, for example.

Bernd Leno is the best goalkeeper in the universe just ahead of Mignolet, why would you need anybody else

I hope Madrid do the right thing and sign him

Villa have only one fit CB for Saturday.If we play like the last game and a half we'll see them off easily.

Worry is, Villa won't play like Pool and Spurs. They'll pack their box and see if they can park the bus. Won't have as much room as we did against the other two who actually tried to play football...

So we hope Fellaini can make a massive target of himself and iccupy some of those defenders.

At least we are now playing as if we want to score goals and have runners into the box compared to before when we passed it to within 30 yards of the opposition and elected to go sideways or backwards.

Just read that the game will be 1 day shy of the 6th anniversary of Maaaccchhhheeeeddddaaaaa!!!!! scoring THAT GOAL.

bucketybuck

Villa are one of those teams I just can't be concerned about, not even in a "park the bus" fashion. I fully expect us to roll over them this weekend, even if its one of the bad days.

As fans we'd like to see him do well, but I think if he comes back he'll be repeating the same line again in 12 months.

He need to go play at Spurs or similar, for his own sake.

Our very own Gary Lineker

I love Chico, but is he really that surprised with his lack of minutes at Real Madrid?

Very important Summer coming up for him at his age, he needs to find a club with a realistic prospect of regular football for himself. I don't know if that's back at United. I would like to see him back, but the role I envision for him at the club is not unlike the one he just expressed frustration with at Real Madrid, and he deserves better.

I wonder what the relationship was/is like between he and Moyes, because Chico could be a great signing for Real Sociedad. Now that I think of it, Chico did express frustration last Season and seemed to be one of the unhappier players in Moye's United, so maybe Sociedad isn't an option.

In any case, I'd like to see him find regular football with a good club, I just don't think it will be with United or Real Madrid at this stage for him unfortunately.

So you're no craic at all then! You have to wear your cards like a badge of honour round these parts.

Rayne Wooney

Hernandez believes he's better than he really is, he needs to take a drop in level and produce consistently before he'll get the real crack at the top level he seems to think he deserves

He's 27 in a few months, Real Madrid was a terrible choice last year, set himself back when he's supposed to be coming into his prime

That was the one. I can't remember who Chicharito got his against though.

Whatsisname

Think Hernandez would do well in a team like Valencia or Seville.

Whatsisname

Falcao with his 3rd in 2 games.

Giggsy11

Hernandez is good enough as a rotational player for top teams but he should join the club where he can play all games and score regularly, club where team is built around him. Poachers can still play a role, after all Icardi is among leading scorers in Serie A and his all round game is worse than Hernandez.

Like mentioned he should join clubs that are below top 2 in La Liga or try his luck in Bundesliga.

Giggsy11

I think Falcao is top goal scorer for Colombian NT. So our squad has top scorer of Netherlands, Colombia and in the near future top scorers for England and Mexico. But among them only 1 is useful for us.

No professional footballer is going to turn down Real Madrid though. He's not going to think "I'll never break into the team there", you're not going to make it to the top of the game to begin with if you think that way. You'd have to have enormous self belief.

You do if it's a loan and you're competing for one position against a player you simply are not better than in almost every regard, he should have got a loan to a slightly smaller club to play weekly and prove there's reason for his frustration at not starting for clubs as big as United or Madrid

I agree with you, and we can see that. But I don't think he'd have ever thought of it like that. I don't think most players at that level would ever think like that.

they really should though - players should look at teh squads they are going to and the prospects of actually playing football. Its why I have to laugh at players like Scott Sinclair - moving to City could only ever have been about the money cause it certainly wasn't his football he was thinking about.

Wasnt Scott Sinclair thinking about his sleeping arrangements when moving to Citeh cos Helen Flanagan didnt want to live in Swansea or as she called it France......

But i do agree with your general point that players should be slightly more realistic in their decisions on who to sign for

TheDoc

Chico is 27?!?! What.

Jaysus....career somewhat wasted being a bit part player.

Mitch Connor

With a resurgence in Smalling and Jones in the last few weeks, I wonder did Evans' end his United career with that spit at Cisse. Would Smalling and Jones have got the game time together in the last few weeks if Evans' was available - I don't think so, Evans' superior comfortability on his left side would probably have got him starting.

Careers can change, for better or worse, in moments - I wonder is that one that will impact on all of Jones, Smalling and Evans.

there are some who pick development over being chewed up and spit out by the likes of Madrid though. I reckon Nani could have angled for a bigger club if he wanted and I really think he should get a shot next season at least as an option


I see Pedro is being linked with a move away for £15 million, bit of a steal really, it's no shame being kept out of the team by Neymar. PSG were linked with him for 60 million a few summers ago, would rather he didn't go to Arsenal or Liverpool as he'd do a good job imo

is he all that good? Or is he a competent player, made look a lot better by playing with some absolute world class players at both international and club level.

He must be one of the best finishers around that play out wide, technically very good and great energy. I'd hate to see him Ozil and Sanchez together they'd make Welbeck look like Pele.

Although he is a bit of a midget so could flop in the PL and as you said its hard to really judge a player who's spent his entire career in the comfort zone of Barcelona.

Not quite sure I see him in any system we've played this season anyway which would render any move for him pretty useless.

Would therefore all depend on how the squad is shaped during the course of the Summer.

Evans will still be there next season, a very good defender and an ideal squad member imo

If Chico hasn't a future at Utd then Id like to see him stay in Europe for another few years,

David Moyes might sign him up.

I honestly think Chico would rather gouge his own eyes out than play under Moyes again.

Bild saying we are looking likely to sign Roberto Firmino.

http://sportwitness.ning.com/forum/topics/bild-say-transfer-now-90-on-after-man-united-rep-talks-to-agents

Attacking midfielder - playing mostly central. A very good player, but would be an interesting signing in terms of where the squad could be going.

LVG has stated recently (and in the past) that 433 is his prefered formation, with either a number 10 behind the striker or a number 4 in front of the defenders (depending on opposition). If Firmino was signed, you would have to assume it would be at the expense of a striker. Possible implications for Mata too, who would be best used in that same role - but he did do well wider vs Spurs and Liverpool.

They call the fella in front of the defenders a number 6 and 8 then is the box to box fella LVG likes....something which I always found curious about the Dutch was their numbering in the days of 1-11, number 5 is usually a left back whereas number 3 was a centre half...I remember being particularly perturbed by what number Jaap Stam would wear for us since he had always worn 3 at PSV and with Holland...jayzus the things I used to notice

you wont see a better penalty than this.

3 goals in 2 games, yes opposition was poor but 70min and 90mins under his belt along with 3 goals his confidence should be good.

Would really like to see it work out for Falcao at United, a very likeable player and he always gives 100%

I'd love to see it work out for him - as at his best he is world class.

I jus tthink it is too late for everyone on this deal.

United would be insane to pay the fee and contract that is reported to have been agreed in August. So a new deal would need to be come by.

Based on what has happened this season I don't see United being too pushed about keeping him, nor him being too pushed to stay and play for LVG/United. I would say both parties will be happy there is a very easy, face saving, out in the summer.

For there to be even a remote chance, he would have to do brilliantly in the remaining 8 games of the season and I would be shocked if LVG was to change the formation from Spurs/Liverpool to accommodate him. Maybe we could go 442 at the weekend at home to a Villa side without 3 of 4 CBs - but I would say 433 is going to be played for most of the remaining games and there isnt a GOOD way of playing Falcao in it without dropping Rooney to the bench, which I don't see happening.

I'd give 100% if I was on 270k a week too.
What do you expect anyone to give when they're working and on that type of money ?
