Neil Harris of Millwall had it, as did Jason Cundy once time Spur....

Thanks RZB - Neil Harris was the one I was thinking of.
I did have a feeling that there was a Baggie (no pun intended) as well recently that had some bad health thingie

How does that sound?

There were heavy rumours a while back that Vidic wanted out but it's all gone quiet there

I've decided not to join FF . So you're not on your own Veggie .

Geoff Horsfiled was another.

For the first year i wont do fantasy football, the prices of the players just dont make it fun anymore. I dont like having to have a team full of nobodys



Oh and veggie I am still not sure if I am that optimistic. I really want to be but see it being similar to last season. I hope I am wrong .

There was interest from both Milan clubs and Barca, but he said he was very happy at United and had no interest in leaving .

Hello GJ , how are you?. I've heard nothing yet about Tuncay and Downing possibly going to Villa. Boro have said that David Wheatwer isn't going anywhere though, Mido will be going now probably.

You don't have to buy the Telegraph, or read it, and first prize would be bragging rights on the forum,

I think that I am a bit too old to worry about forum bragging rights RZB, but I will have a look if you want.

Glad you're ok , i'm good thanks. Oh my local paper has been keeping me up to date about Villas interest, although I do admit to looking at various sites .

Hello Perones , so it definetly looks like now Fergie won't be buying any more players. I'm a bit disappointed tbh think we need another striker, but he knows what he is doing.

Hi Darlo

aye I'm with you - trust in Fergie

Here's what I reckon the starting 11 will be:

Defence (subs/rotations in brackets)

O'Shea Ferdy Vidic Evra (Nev, Simps, Fabio Raphael, Brown)

Long term starting defence : Fabio, Ferdy, Vidic, Raphael

Mid

Giggs, Carrick, Fletcher, Nani (Anderson, Scholes, Hargreaves, Tosic, Park)

Long term starting mid : Tosic, Carrick, Anderson, Nani

Forward

Berbs, Rooney (Owen, Welbeck, Macheda, Manucho)

Long term starting attack : No change!!

The squad doesn't sound too shabby to me depending on how they develop..if Tosic, Anderson and Nani come good that is

I reckon Berb's will come good

Quite a strong team still , so it's not all that bad that Ronaldo and Tevez has gone, you did miss out Antonio Valencia though .

doh ! of course..then he'll probably start instead of Giggs I'd imagine

and Obertan sorry I've been away nice to see us with a bunch of proper wingers in Valencia, Obertan, Nani and Tosic..it's going to be interesting, Ronaldo was never a traditional winger of course and this could mean a change to our shape...although for the last few years Fergies tried to move away from a strict 4-4-2..reverting to it only in attack...so who know's!! certainly not me..we've got that many options..

It's ok Perones we all forget at times . So he has brought back Manucho then , didn't know that would like to see what his style of play.

Darlo!

I assume so..unless he's loaned out again..or sold..he's mid-twenties I think..

Will be hooked to MUTV then from now on . Not far off against Chelsea thats going to be an interesting match.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this today but have been hearing on the radio all day that Alonso has said he wants to leave Liverpool

Benitez has now confirmed this

Hi Sis!

How's you honey bunch?

Really , i'm surprised if it's true. Madrid were apparently interested but they said Liverpool were asking for too much money, but they are loaded and can pay whatever they want .

lol, I can't wait either..although I'm loving the cricket . I've got MUTV too and Yup Darlo - they are all on MUTV...can't wait to hear Paddy Crerands thoughts...alright he's completely biased, but he's good value lol

Aye Owen was a complete out of left-field wasn't he? should be fascinating watching him
