gosh whats wrong with roonet just not what Man U needed

 

[Scaly piscine]

Don't get that.. okay player and a right tw*t, to outstanding player and a right tw*t isn't much of a quantum leap?

He's on my avatar as a forfeit, I don't want anyone getting any wrong ideas..

You've gone from constantly serving up death threats to begrudging admiration.

You've gone from constantly serving up death threats to begrudging admiration.

very begrudging, jeezus, I've obviously gone soft since the 158.. Ill rectify that when the skunk headed noob starts clattering SA around again

Been a bit disappointed with the SA crowd though.. Booing him in Bloemfontein and they did a sodding standing ovation in Pretoria!

 

[aussie]

well i reckon most of you have heard that we have slipped out of the top 10 for the 1st time in a year, not good news with the WC just around the corner.

 

[Pothas]

doesnt really matter in my opinion those rankings give a very inacuarate picture with the likes of the US and Mexico being far higher than they should be

arsenal start tonights match with reyes up front which is the right move as far as im concerned, intresting to see hleb left on the bench but wenger knows best after all, hopefully a comfortable and convincing arsenal win, but being the hardened arsenal fan that i am i know better, and am expecting to see a dire tedious, scrappy affair played out in which arsenal either draw or win un-convincingly, hopefully i will be pleasently suprised.

If he knows best why didn't he sign a replacement for Vieria, or another right winger or another defender, or a 'keeper, or perhaps another striker?

Fabrages and Flamini might be something special, but if one of them and Gilberto gets injured they are screwed. And I don't really rate Pires as a right winger.

Also why not new 'keeper? I mean if Mart Poom is 3rd or 4th choice for Sunderland then it tells me a lot about him.

And the likes of Jordan ahead of Northern Ireland. And I would back them to beat Jordan nay day.

doubting wengers judgement has proven to be a very silly move in the years he has been a manager, wenger had baptista and robinho in line to help replace vieira, but seeing as he couldnt get either of those he didnt delve into some stupid panic transfer, the way i see it is that there are no players wenger judges to be good enough to replace vieira that are within arsenals reach, with that being the case then there is no reason to go out and buy a second rate player who will never live up to what vieira was capable of who will fall on the scrap heap in a years time. Secondly pires isnt a right winger, he plays primarily on the left, he only appears on the right when he and hleb switch flanks throughout the match, he is no way stuck out on the right wing. And thirdly have you ever even see mart poom play? he isnt terrible but hes only been signed as cover for lehmann and almunia untill the january transfer window when wenger will have the chance to but a new keeper, the chances of him actually getting a game are slim to nothing.

Jeez, Heinze out for "most of the season" with cruciate ligament damage. That is not good news and will be a big blow to efforts on all fronts. Apparently Kieran Richardson will replace him for the Liverpool, which doesn't fill me with confidence.

 

[sledger]

not quinton fortune ? or is he injured as well ?




whos gonna regret selling phil neville now ?

If fortune is unavailble then silvestre could switch too left back and then wes brown would have to partner ferdinand

 

[roseboy64]

Wes Brown's injured.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Wes Brown's injured.

Him and Kirkland really are the latest sicknotes of football.

This is just as bad as losing Ruud last season. Hopefully Kieran can do well until Neville comes back to get a more experienced guy on the left like O'Shea or Silvestre.

Left winger at full back, dear oh dear...

You have 13m to go and buy any player to replace Vieria that is good enough, and only getting 13/ He should have at least got a few more bucks at least and there would have problems with Robinho getting a work permit (not sure about Bapista).

And I'm aware Pires isn't a right winger so why didn't he go and buy a a decent right winger if Ljungberg gets injured? This is what I'm questioning about.

You have a stack of left wingers but how many right wingers do you have and are good?

 

[Craig]

So is Sol Campbell (in years gone by Andrew Flintoff would have won this award in a canter).

how many players could you buy for 13m who are of vieiras standard ? none thats how many, no need to buy young players who will potentially be that good either due to cesc and flamini.

as for right wingers arsenal arent exactly short, hleb played all most of stuttgarts bundeliga games on the right so hes hardly a novice at that role, lauren could also deputise there seeing as he has years of experience playing on the right wing for cameroon and mallorca before wenger converted him to a right back, and also kolo toure played a year on the right of midfield and did a sound job so its hardly a crisis. Not to mention the fact that gilberto also played on the right in several games last year and also did a fine job.

to be honest i dont think its anywhere near that bad, although hes a very decent player hes no way as integral to man utd as nistelrooy is, oshea is a very good player and has shown that he can play all across the defence effectively, so its not as bad as many are making out if you ask me, it just leaves them a defender short, as several of their other players can play left back.
