ferguson gives all of his players freedom tpo roam as he signs and educates players to use space and cover for others moves.95% of man utd's games is about movement and doing the basics well.This endless 'we need a midfield playmaker' nonsense is complete fantasy.
how so?
Because successful teams have never had these fantasy players, and yet people on here think that signing Elano will have a dramatic effect. It won't.
Are u for realzy??? Every successful team had a "fantasy player" it was built around. Last 4 Champions league winners:
Man Utd: Ronaldo
Ac Milan: Kaka
Barca: Ronaldinho
Liverpool: Gerrard
Real and Chelsea have 11 fantasy players, Zenit is built around Arshavin, Arsenal had Henry then Fabregas, Valencia have Silva
I could go on...
Almost every successful team has a central player that they build the team around. At the end of the season for us it was Owen. However if we play 442 it needs to be a midfielder.
Absolutely correct.
And Ferguson, at varying stages in a game, provides Ronaldo license & freedom to roam across the midfield line ie. the 'fantasy player', or the luxury type. Much of Man United's effectiveness, or it's ability to swing a game when a result is in the balance, eminates from Ferguson's useage of Ronaldo which never gives the defending outfield the same look, and thus player mismatches and structural questions are often posed. Ferguson has outstanding individuals at his disposal - ie. the likes of Ronaldo, Tevez, Rooney - and their ability as footballers plays a part, but much of the damage inflicted by United's outfield is the result of their opposition being unable to suddenly adapt to & handle United's attacking/structural change-ups.
absolutely. the way man utd play is an expanded version of 5-a-side football. nowt more, nowt less. add to that the mental strength and motivation instilled in the players by ferguson, and sir bob's your uncle

what the fuck is this obssession with "fans"?
celtic best fans in the world, newcastle have good fans too! it's like saying she's not the fittest bird in the world, saggy tits and a flat arse, but she has the best clothes in the world
-
survived one round of fans being interviewed. No-one said anything too stupid.
I'm guessing Willow's stuck in traffic still

I must admit I don't know a massive amount about Tiago. Can someone give an unbiased opinion of him? What kind of player is he?
If he signs, he's best Midfielder I've ever seen, far better than Zidane
-
Would be happy with this. We need a player who can score the odd few goals from central midfield as I'm not sure Guthrie's pre-season goal form will carry on into the Premiership.
ok nostradamus

right, off to check it out now........
brilliant. the club could use all the tools necessary to make it a great day out
enjoy

SSN said they will be there live at 10.30 for anyone interested
does this mean they know anything, but have been told by the club to stay quiet? or SSN have picked up on message board rumours and think they should be there just incase anything does happen in regard to transfers?
i don't think anyone will be announced, nothing will be mentioned colo will just come out with the rest of the team and train in front of the fans.
SSN being there is nothing out of the ordinary tbh! being the main sponsors of the mong charidee and all, they are merely carrying out their duties to (london town) society by exhibiting the great geordie public in the best possible light (hence 10:30 am)
thanks for clearing that up, what are your feelings on all the rumours about the announcement of signings this morning?
who? me? i think the itk's are agreed that spurs are in for a great great season ahead, and all teams including Man Utd, Chelsea, Milan, Inter and Barca should watch their backs!! COYS :clap2: :frantic:

£4.5m for Warnock? it will take MORE? just about the biggest pisstake I've ever heard
One thing's for the certain, if he comes in at such a price it'll be as a first choice LB, which is bullshit. Enrique is comfortably our best player under the age of 24 with the exception of Martins and should be a nailed on starter.
But is he also our best player that likes to have strawberry cheesecake with his coffee?
I personally think that Bassong is our best player between all of our other players that are called Bassong.
very productive
i think he's got a pointy knob actually
you what?
even though he made his point with humour (matter of opinion i know), what the hell has enrique being our second best player under the age of 24 got to do with it? nufc needs to improve and compete now, not in two seasons, now. and if warnock's available at the right price, and kk thinks he'll improve our defence (i do) then he should be bought and played.

Barton will likely be suspended for anywhere from 6 weeks to half a season depending on how much the F.A. hate us. So what we'll probably see is Butt & Guthrie. And quite honestly, there would be Fulham and Bolton supporters who wouldn't be happy with that as their first choice.
The FA are going to be on thin ice if they hammer Barton and ignore Thaksin.
the FA are cunts

So was Jamie McClen
ya for one game like
-
He will be ours. Handed in a transfer request today.
Not a fan like? Personally i think he's a good player and a solid signing, if it happens.
Oh no I think he's a very good player! was just having a dig at the no source post

Haha, Ince made to look a pleb within the hour.

like the look of Matias Fernandez!!
granted it was after watching him on the tube, but he looks a fantastic talent
Yes, have him in midfield with Hargreaves in my Newcastle team on FM, but remember this is the REALISITIC SUMMER TARGETS thread!
imho Matias Fernandez isn't THAT unrealistic....Would love to see him here, probably wont happen but still not a impossible signing if the club seriously wanted him signed.
Hasn't really had his REAL breakthrough for Villareal yet. Still very young and has one hell alot of potential. Not too bad at set pieces either
Would rather have him than Arshavin...
definitely
Has the potential to become a much better player i think. Alot younger and wouldn't cost as much as Arshavin who imo is a little bit overrated...
with you on this one mate

Dimitar Berbatov will finally complete his move to Manchester United for £28m this week, according to reports.
The Evening Standard claims that the protracted switch will be concluded in time for the weekend's opening Premier League fixtures.
'The 27-year-old is believed to have upset people within the club for his attitude during pre-season and was substituted at half-time against Roma following a lacklustre display,' says the Standard, who claim that Spurs are closing in on a replacement.
Zenit St Petersburg forward Andrei Arshavin and Spartak Moscow's Roman Pavlyuchenko are in Tottenham's sights, with the latter suited to playing as the lone striker in a 4-5-1 formation likely to be favoured by Juande Ramos this season.
are the spurs itk's agreed on this? last i heard Ameobi was on his way to becoming a spud. any truth in this?

Tiago on loan?
in Football
Posted
from chelsea fan on CFCnet:
"Was adored by the fans, as well as the rest of the squad. On his departure, Neil Barnett said that JT and Jose, amongst others were reduced to tears. Was a legend."
what a soft shite that Terry is!!
Tiago was a very good player by all accounts (for those who cant read the CFCnet forum)
