I absolutely hated his buy and thought he'd be the shittest purchase we've made in years but I've gladly been proven wrong. When he comes in, he does a job. He holds up the ball, he adds height to the team and scored 4 goals in 6 games. Definately a decent purchase, heres to him getting more games

Given Huntington Taylor Bramble Ramage Solano Emre Butt Luque Martins Sibierski

Emre looked untouchable when Parker went off. One of his best performances of the season

Sibi was inactive until the ball was played to him in the 2nd phase. Right decision to allow it.

Sadly from that list he is probably the best option True but I wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole. Might as well get Juve on the phone now

I'd rather sign Boumsong back and stick him upfront than even go near James Beattie

Not for another 45-60 mins I reckon

Dyer and Martins need to be upfront. Especially if they're going to be coming up against the likes of Sol Campbell, we need to have that pace advantage.

Silvestre surely can't be ahead of him in the pecking order, he is a joke at that club! A joke?? You must REALLY hate our defenders then, if you think a player like him is a joke. Being better than our defenders isn't a compliment though.

With two of the list injured, one prone to injury and the other yet to settle in this league, I would be looking to spend money short-term on bringing in a Premier League goalscorer.

Coz of the fuking thickness of the shirt designer that actually looks like 'Shearer' on the back of his shirt. It actually looks like SHEAREKI a mixture of the two

Just why??? When the rest of the world calls them Levadia Tallinn, why does he change it the other way round? WHAT IS THE POINT? :wullie: I divn't like this "Seppe Rossi" - only person I've heard call him that. We don't go around calling other players "Hen Carr" and "Stine Babayaro"

for anyone who has no idea what article it is: We'll get it right, Oba time By Alan Oliver, The Evening Chronicle Glenn Roeder is backing Oba Martins to drag Newcastle United away from the relegation zone after his fine display at Arsenal on Saturday. And Roeder is supported by none other than his opposite number at the Emirates Stadium - Arsene Wenger. After Saturday's 1-1 draw the Arsenal boss said: "I think Glenn Roeder made a great choice in taking Martins to Newcastle where he can be a success." Roeder and everyone who sees United's £10m man at the club's training ground are all confident that the Nigerian international will be one of the answers to the problems up front. But his goals against Tallinn Levadia and West Ham apart, the United supporters have only seen glimpses of why Martins was able to stay with Inter Milan at the San Siro for so long. However, the way he linked up with Kieron Dyer against Arsenal has given those supporters some much-needed hope. And Roeder told me today: "Saturday was Oba's best game for us. It wasn't easy for him against world-class defenders in William Gallas and Kolo Toure, but he caused them problems all game. "His ability to spring up and win the ball in the air is one of the reasons why Kieron Dyer was able to score our goal. "He has already formed a good partnership with Kieron and to be fair to Oba we now have to find him a regular partner. "When we linked him up with Antoine Sibierski at Middlesbrough the pair of them looked terrific together, but then Sibby went off injured. "People are judging Oba far too soon - and there are other high-profile players who have taken time to settle." Now Roeder has to decide whether to start with Martins in Thursday's UEFA Cup tie with Celta Vigo at St James' Park or keep him fresh for Portsmouth on Sunday. Seppe Rossi is not eligible for Thursday and in an ideal world Roeder could be excused for thinking that Albert Luque would find the passion and fire in his belly that has been missing this season against his fellow countrymen, but I believe the United boss will instead turn to someone who has shown he can do his stuff in Europe this season - Sibierski. And it would not surprise me if those others players who did not start at the Emirates on Saturday - like Emre, James Milner and Charles N'Zogbia - will all be on from the off on Thursday night. However, Damien Duff and Craig Moore seem certain to miss out as United wait for the results of the scans on their respective knee and hamstring injuries. The scans have been sent to London for examination and United will find out the results tomorrow. Link

Roeder is a really nice, genuine guy. That's what makes disliking him and wanting him sacked so much harder than it was with Souness. They're both crap football managers but Souness was an arsehole on top of that so it was easy to dislike him, Roeder's not.

'Cannot-defend United' - Does exactly what it says on the tin!

The Russian Billionaires will be in control of the club by then, dur! Oh yeah, I forgot. Why don't we just dump the whole team and start from scratch!! That's the spirit

The Russian Billionaires will be in control of the club by then, dur!

So what we gonna do with the other £24,999,975?

Wayne Bridge Dean Ashton Darren Bent Lucas Neill Sol Campbell to make a team of: Given Neill Taylor Campbell Bridge Milner Parker Emre N'Zogbia/Duff Ashton Bent would be acceptable

I say Given Taylor Bramble Ramage N'Zogbia Solano Emre Parker Milner Sibierski Martins now that Moore and Duff are more than likely gonna sit out.

Moore and Ramage in a team of the week?

Another player who's gonna put off surgery for two years to play for the club he loves, great :roll:
