Aye but Anderson has been their best CM. So they either need 2 new ones, or one to partner Anderson.

What have I missed with Demba. Everyone says he will be out for 2 months. I mean if Senegal makes the final they will be playing it on the 12th February. Its only a month isnt it?

irrelevant to my point about CM.

7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss (being to City) is Man United record when he has started. Played Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs 7 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses is their record when he hasnt started. Were against lower league teams all of them. Not the biggest difference, but to want to get rid of a player who has contributed more than any other CM in your club is weird (aimed at your supposedly Man U friends).

?Many Man Utd fans I know rate him. Might be a case of personal preference then.

Different type of player now. Maybe not a change for the good but he has definitely taken on his role and adapted well to it. I think his biggest ability is to keep possession by controlling the midfield with his vision and ability to change the pace of the game.

How tall do you reckon he is?

Not being biased at all, but Man Us midfield have been missing Anderson. He will change a game in a discreet manner with his intelligent tempo-changing ability and passing vision. Hes a good all around player, maybe not top 5 midfielders in the league, but very important when it comes to holding on to possession and winning possession back.

Drank teisseire a hell lot when I live in Belgium. Must be the reason why I was so good at everything couple years back.

Mike, you back on the drugs? Come on man, you love the Knicks and Bills and now you tell me Obertan aint shit. You must be sitting in a lunatic asylum typing that.

Wayne Routledge

Nah, starcasm.

People going on about Santon being a right back and shouldnt be on the left is quite annoying. Lahm is a left-back and right footer, why cant Santon be the same. Actually thinks his ability to cut inside is an important asset to his game.

Was thinking of him on the right the other day. Imagine if we still had Barton there instead of Shitebulb and Raylor (who had a decent game tbh). Obertan has been such a big failure and while I dislike everything Barton brings to a team with his off the field antics, him on the right wouldve contributed to more points than we have this season.

Nah Obertan is more versatile, he will be as shit in every other position as he has been on the right wing. Shitebulb.

Me neither. And Colo, Cheick and Ba were definitely our top performances.

Why? If no big team goes for him, and they manage to sign one or two good player and show ambition I can see him going there. theyre in a big market in the sense that its better to live in London than near Ewood Park. We should therefore go in there and hijack any deal they do.

Northerngimp. I agree. He may not have any re-sale value in the sense he wont be sold for more than we buy him. But defender peak during his years now and play up until theyre possibly 33-34. Samba would bring so much investment to the club as I see us recouping at least half at the end of the season. He can be the difference between 6th and 10th. He can be the difference between Europe and non-Europe football. Ashley and Derek would prove to be real idiots if he ends up at QPR for 5-6m.

nope

€40m performance. When hes at his best hes unstoppable.

Ba and Cheick MotM for me. Excellent.

Santon, Cheick, Colo and Ba being absolutely great. And Simpson having someone infront of him who will defend is helping a bit.

If we are to even have a slight chance of winning this today, Shola needs a good day, but most importantly our left-flank will need a top performance from Jonas and Davide Santon to keep Valencia quiet and hit them on the counter.
