He's no Cambiasso but would have thought seeing him last year at Leicester would make people see past his age for a year like. Passes *snigger* all over Colback in that role.

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.

Butt has never been better than Carrick man, give over.

Ferguson only sold players when he was forced into it, or he thought they were past it. And he was right 90% of the time as to when a player was past it. He fucking loved Carrick though.

Yep, and rightly so, he's a class act.

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.

Completely different players. Carrick has never needed to be quick so he could go on another 2 seasons easily.

 

Butt needed the legs, timing in his tackling protecting the back four and was on the way down.

Based on Man Utd's signings this summer it seems like we made an opportunistic approach. Can't really fault that. Would happily take Carrick as long as we didn't hand out one of our 5 year deals.

Aye, shite midfield, getting to the CL final and getting beat by one of the best teams in history and that  :anguish:

 

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.

Colback-carrick in midfield  :scared:

 

What's the problem? Two Geordie lads at the heart of the midfield, man. What more could you as for?

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.

Butt better than Carrick :lol: There's clearly nothing in it, but he would improve us considerably

 

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.

Loved that 2011 run where Carrick was carried by Gibson, Park, Fletcher, Anderson and an elderly Giggs and Scholes to a PL title and CL final. But tbf that was 4 years ago and midfield's not that important in CL and that.

 

Also that bit where he passed the ball about well and got that Manchester team playing well, being widely regarded as a big part in their upturn in form, but that was a few months ago tbf.

 

Wouldn't want someone like that being decent for a season. Especially cause Geremi was pants.

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.

8 years ago, be canny if we could sign that version :thup:

 

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.
