8 years ago, be canny if we could sign that version Almost impressive for somebody to play for Man Utd that long and do literally fuck all worth recalling. Even John O'Shea scored that chip against Arsenal.

Funny that cos I remember Park having a stormer against Chelsea in the quarters and Gibson, Anderson and Giggs tearing Schalke apart over two legs in the semis. Don't remember anything Carrick did. In fact, not sure I can remember him doing anything memorable ever.

Would love to know whats massively different about the two of them. Both played nigh on 400 games for Man Utd somehow, both racked up similar number of England caps. Both carried by their vastly more talented teammates for years.

Aye, shite midfield, getting to the CL final and getting beat by one of the best teams in history and that Not that that midfield played every game like He's not the long term answer, but we need someone who can control games and for a least a year if he's injury free he's capable of that. There's zero logical relevance to how a transfer 11 years ago for a different player worked out to how this one would work out. I didn't just cite one player 11 years ago, I cited numerous over the course of the last decade. Man Utd's cast offs can fuck off. In fact, all old big club cast offs can fuck off (Duff, Geremi, Babayaro, Cacapa, Rush, Barnes etc). The one positive benefit of the Ashley dictatorship is not having to watch these kind of signings inevitably fail. Not even arsed if there's a chance Carrick could be decent for a season, I don't want him, and thankfully won't have to see it happen.

The way people go on you'd think Carrick was Scholes or Lampard. He's more Nicky Butt and Gareth Barry than he is those two. I wouldn't touch him with a bargepole at 34, nee chance.

Well that says a lot about how much he ignored their gaping hole in midfield for years. He played Park, Carrick and a 38 year-old Giggs at CM in a CL final FFS. Carrick is nowt special and would be the archetypal Man Utd gravytrain arsehole who steps out of the comfort zone and realises his body can't keep up in a shit team.

Nowt in it really. It's laughable how overrated Carrick is.

Nicky Butt was a better player than Carrick and we signed him at 29 and he was fucking garbage. O'Shea. Brown. Neville. Keane. Ferdinand. Park. Silvestre. Smith. Could go on and on. Never sign old Man Utd cunts, rule #1 of football.

Nah, fuck him, old shite prick.

Fuck Carrick and all old Man Utd shite

0-13 last time they played, UEFA record

Dead @ Man Utd selling their only 2 world class players in Di Maria and De Gea

:lol:

Atletico look really strong going into next season

Thats Madjer, the Portuguese beach footballer not the Algerian from the 80s

He's not the kind of player I like, but he's still one of our best players. Only a lunatic would disagree.

Agree I'd start him from the off

this was not what the internet was invented for

The winner of this one will have to play the U.S. (winner in 2013) in a one-off match to decide who heads to the Confed Cup in 2017. Nicely dodged. Yes Baba, this is the one where both teams (and not just the USA) sent their good team

Yaaaaas howay the Reggae Boyz

I think he'd be brilliant as the star of a team, like he is for the national side.

ffs

I agree on De Jong a bit, he seems very static and too upright for a #10. Not to write him off as he needs to get back up to speed but I'm not sure.

I'm pretty sure he's on the verge of joining Schalke as soon as Perisic goes the other way.
