There will be lots of players in the United squad benefiting from Ronaldo leaving indeed, Tevez departure will hopefully benefit Berbatov now he's had time to settle in and get used to the play, so he can buck his ideas up for next season .

I think Rooney will benefit because the formation will have to change in all probablity. I very much doubt Ferguson will go with last seasons 4-3-3 formation week in week out. Think it'll be more a 2 man attack with Rooney playing just around either Owen or Berba. It's time for Rooney to come of age though. He's been good at Untied but it's time he turned from being one who's best is yet to come to one who is consistantly playing well in his favoured position.

Valencia is more of an out and out right midfielder than Ronaldo was. I can't seriously see Valencia playing the Ronaldo role in a front 3. But I may be wrong and maybe Fergie has seen something in him that he thinks he can convert him to. Just like Wenger did when he turned Henry from a winger into a central striker over night.

Looking forward to seeing more of Tosic. He impressed me in yesterdays match. Think he could be a real talent emerging.

Fergie will be planning his formation already. Tosic really impressed me also Crunchy, he just needs to work on his crossing of the ball a bit more. Fabio Da Silva has also impressed and is back up for Evra .

Just seen the score and well done to them.
Must be disappointing for them though that Nasri is out for a long time.

Also Villareal won 27-0 in their friendly

hey LAF
yeah it is really frustrating what has happened to Nasri. We seem to no sooner get a long term injury fit and another one happens.
I just hope he is only out for the 3-4 months they are saying,
AW said after the friendly that it is a straightforward break so hopefully will heal well with no complications.

You must be sweating about Gerrard. Funnily enough I actually like him, but if he got involved with a fight in a club then he is a stupid boy
Blimey I sound like Captain Mainwaring there

A very young Bolton team has just beat Leigh Genesis 4-1. Zoltan Harsanyi, Tope Obadeyi (2) and Danny Ward got the goals.

Are you hopeful about the prospects coming through then disley?

Obadeyi has played for England U20's (and been top scorer), so I'd say he's got the best chance in the long run.

But it doesn't always work out that way. Vaz Te is a perfect example of a player failing to make the grade after initial promise.

With regards to this coming season, look out for Chris Basham, who played a couple of times last season (most notably against Man Utd).

I'll keep my eyes open for him then. I watch the Arsenal Babies play so I do see the young 'uns from other teams but Bolton are in the Northern part of the League so I haven't seen them.

Hi Darlo

I'll see you later mate

Morning footyfans

Grrr having problems seeing the latest pages in this thread, again but when I 'blind' post this..i bet it works...here goes...

Morning Perones

Someone suggested last night that the way round the problem is to click on the name of the last poster on the right rather than the page.

We had these probs on C4 using the same forum technology didn't we?

Hi Veggie,

We did, well certainly similar probs..something about powered by eve technology rings a bell?

Who would have thought Erickson would be Director of Football in the same league as Bury ...lock up your daughters

Yep

How's you anyway? I watched the Arsenal friendly on the pute last night - some good performances but it took a while to get going.

The funny thing is that my mate Maria has gone to watch them in Austria and I can hear her shouting when I'm watching it

Mind you, she is loud

Morning moonie

yer nutter!! I meant that I can hear her through the commentary not that I can actually hear her in London
although.........
I watched the Barnet friendly on Saturday as well and I could hear her on the commentary of that as well

She has been a season ticket holder at Arsenal for 40 + years, goes to all the ladies and babies matches as well and a lot of the away matches.
She is in her 70s and is amazing.

I'm good ta and your self ?

lol - that's funny about your mate. You know, its spooky you say that , whenever I see a arsenal home match, whenever there's a spot of danger I always hear a high-pitched squeal from a supporter - i figure there's a woman there who is a season ticket holder and therefore sits in the same seat..and obviously the TV effects microphone is always in the same place and so picks her up everytime..pmsl i wonder if its your mate

Well im clueless on this joke then... people can call me what they want But i just hit the lovely report button in the corner

Bliddy hell
Don't say the forum madness has infected our lovely footie fred

*hands round masks and sanitising spray*

Perones, lol, it's not the squealing it's the singing and chanting you have to listen out for. Go Go Gunners is one of hers!
She is fabulous though, we could do with more noisy sods like her and me at some of the matches.

I have to watch myself at the babies matches (where I sit close to AW - for maximum stalkage) and the ladies where I take a lot of kids as my worrying verbalisation is "shite, shite, shite" (without the 'e') repeatedly rapidly

Morning Meaty and Mazzy

aha..a grudge match then...how's Petrov been playing? I rated him when he first burst onto the scene..a great winger..blighted by injury since though..

Petrov will probably be leaving... well rumours are that he is.
