"Time for a Change for Diego Forlan?"

Firstly I dont think Forlan is given enough time on the pitch, he should be given more than 5 or 10 mins at the end of the game to prove his worth, he is actually very talented on the ball and fairly quick and can create things for other players around him, so that got me thinking, seeing as though we are lacking midfielders at the moment, why not try moving becks into the middle and giving diego the chance to play on the wing? this would also benefit us upfront because if we need to we can push him upfront too, this may even make him into a better player and something that we desparartly need at the moment a striker coming in from deep and creating.

United Fans what do you think?

Tell me about it. It's so strange seeing the 'cockneys of islington' mixing it with the salford scallies. The Irish are alright though, I sit near one, Sean I think he's called.

I dont think forlan will start 2moro because Sir alex had this:

Fergie on Diego

"I don't know what he has to do to score a goal. He has had some fantastic, His workrate has been fantastic, his enthusiasm for the game has never changed. I think he'll play plenty of football for us. At the moment I am trying to get the partnership of Solskjaer and van Nistelrooy off the ground, but Diego will play his part."

I can only tell you what he told me: he's been told he's starting. As far as I know, Alex made that quote before I spoke to Forlan, and it wouldn't be the first time he's done this.

You joker. Van nistelrooy take a break. he has had the whole summer of. nearly all the other star players in the league had the world cup to deal with too! And the only other dutch international striker in our league hasselbaink was out all summer with injury. and still managd to score in his come back game for holland coming on as a late sub for RVN. the man has been unlucky but can't use tiredness as an excuse

Agreed

Mikael forsell of chelsea has played about the same number of games for chelsea and has had the same number of starts and some how managed to rack up ten goals last season to forlans 0. He also scored 4 goals in 4 games for finland

and 2 of those goals were against germany which helped win the group for england

1 was against portugal

and with out the famous man utd midfield behind him. #That is an example of how to do the super subs role!

Yeh but as I said to you on MSN it takes some players more time to settle in than others, Forsell has now been established in the English game for a few seasons and Forlan has had a mere half a season and hardly having a consistant run in the time, 5 or 10 mins at the end of a game is hardly enough time to get a rytham going, he needs to settle in more and get used to our game. In terms of internationally he has never really been given that chance being faily young, but was picked for the World Cup where he scored one of the best goals of the tournament, he also scored 3 goals out of 4 appearences in pre season friendly's against decent opposition. Many players have taken a while to settle in here as I said Viera, Henry, Stam, Cantona all took a while to adapt to the Premeirship and they are European players. Some players can settle quickly and some players cant, thats just the way it is.
