Ah yes the goalkeeper of the year, one of the best central defenders in the world and a striker who's scored 6 goals in around 8 games are all total flops aren't they *sighs*
As far as Kleberson and Djemba Djemba go they haven't even been given a proper chance to show what their made of. They get chucked into a system every 3 or 4 games and then get taken out the game after or if they're lucky they get to have 2 games in a row. If that keeps happening of course they're not going to slot in straight away and play like world class players
The second half of the seaon - everything went downhill. The Rio thing, the takeover, the Fergie/Magnier Horse Argument, possible falling outs between players.... all sorts.
It is true Fergie has made mistakes, but I don't think it's just about selling Beckham, If United had replaced him with say Ronaldinho I don't think Becks would even be mentioned right now.
Fergie's main failures have been 1) no replacement was bought for Beckham and United went for the cheap options and for the future yet somewhere along that line they forgot about the here and now. 2) When Rio was given his ban, no replacement was brought in he thought Wes Brown would be sufficient..... a guy who has literally comeback from a career threatening injury asked to go straight in and do what he did a year ago.... 3) What makes me cringe! is messing around with player's positions i.e. playing Butt on the right wing, Scholes on the left, Kleberson upfront, Djemba-Djemba at right back... Hell why not just put himself and Walter Smith in centre defence?
Finally, Saha, who has been playing with a knee injury, has done very well, but where is that creativity from the midfield? Ruud hasn't looked the same player because there is simply no service from the midfield other than Ronaldo who is often rested. Giggs has been pretty poor, especially with his end product - a lot of running but wheres the rest?
So the summer is nearly here - we better see some changes Mr Ferguson or you might aswell collect your P45 now.
Possible signings: Deco, Van De Vaart, Mexes, Puyol, Gilardino
Possible departures: Forlan, Butt
> Possible signings: Deco, Van De Vaart, Mexes, Puyol, Gilardino
I honestly don't think that any of them are top quality. Okay Deco and Van Der Vaart are both good but they are a bit young and too much will be expected of them. Mexes is the same. Puyol is great and I hope we sign him and I don't have a clue who Gilardino is. I personally want someone like Ronaldinho.
> Possible departures: Forlan, Butt
I want Forlan to leave aswell. He is crap. He can be brilliant sometimes but for must of the time he misses sitters. I hope Butt doesn't levae. He just hasn't been given his chance this season.
> I personally want someone like Ronaldinho.
Who doesn't?
I don't have a clue who Gilardino is.
3rd only to Totti and Shevchenko in Seria A goals this season.
Van Der Vaart is already an established international so i doubt he will be under that much Pressure. Deco is hardly young at 26 and Mexes is wanted by top clubs all over europe. Even players like Totti want him at thier club.
