im a small bit surprised by this. i thought giggs had a poor season overall. he had some good spells but generally he hasnt performed this year. and its been the same the last two seasons. but really what this means to me is that fergie is prepared to stick with the old crew for next season.

i just dont feel the likes of keane scholes and giggs can still out perform the top european/domestic teams, as was proven against milan and indeed chelsea. i would like to proven wrong though.

as for howard, he proved he is a good goalkeeper, he just needs to find the form again, all it could take is one fantastic save and he gets the boost he needs to be back to his best. i doubt this means united wont sign another gk this summer though.

I think Howard signing a new contract surely indicates the end is nigh for Carroll. As much as he wants to stay Im sure United will sign a keeper and push him back into the reserves. At 27 he needs to be establishing himself as a No.1 somewhere.

Id imagine alot of deals united do this summer will be money and players...united need money off the books aswell, we're not chelsea. So i'd hope he'd move to what ever club we get a keeper from....wonder if niemi will move now? maybe not to united but im sure lots of prem teams would have an eye on him...maybe untied could get given, newcastle could get niemi

although he has made some mistakes, carroll is a good goalkeeper. he would make a great signing for some premiership team, especially on a free. but his days at united must be over, unless as stated above he wants to sit it out in the reserves.

im happy for howard though, i thought it was cruel the way he fell from grace and im sure he can get his form back.

who will play in goal for united in the cup final? im nearly sure its carroll but can there be any doubt?

i tohught carrol didnt want to stay though? afaik he was offered a contract extension but didnt sign it as he wants to be playing first team football.

carroll made a u-turn and decided he wanted to stay in the last month.

Bit stupid of him.

yeah i thought it was a tad bit arrogant in the first place to be demanding high wages. but a certain slip against milan thought him that like many others before him that when you build yourself up, be prepared to come crashing down.
