bowlingcrofty Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 They've spent a lot of money on distinctly average players. Signing Man U reserves and the midfield of a relegated team doesn't constitute as 'strong' for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Bent is much better than Wickham Welbeck is better than Ji-Dong Won (probably) Mensah is better than Brown Onuoha and O' Shea I'd class as equal, same with Vaughan and Muntari. Not really sure about Westwood, they're all so meh. The only improvement is Gardner over Henderson (and maybe Larsson over Zenden). Their starting 11 are definitely weaker, whilst their squad is stronger. But their massive wage bill has inflated even more, so its a risk. A dull, uninspiring risk.

Fenham Mag Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 They seem to have a pretty strong squad now. Westwood vs Gordon (expected to leave) Wickham vs Bent O'Shea vs Onuoha Wes Brown vs Mensah Larsson vs Welbeck Gardner vs Henderson Vaughan vs Zenden Doesn't look particularly stronger tbh. When you've put it like that , they actually look weaker than last year imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only one there that isn't mentioned is Sessegnon, who I rate and is an improvement - so long as they use him correctly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Planning for the long run Brucey.. Surprised they didn't just give him a 2 month deal. It's clear the only thing he cares about at the moment is the 20th August. Undoubtedly a mackem is Bruce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
