Aye, right mid.
Oh, i dont watch much La Liga but i saw him play and thought he was an AMC.

For Ruud to be scoring 20+ in those 2 seasons, and like I said if Beckham is cheap then why not ? He'll provide the striker's the service and hugely boost our financial aspect. In those 2 years we can be actively be searching for another winger.

It is definetly true that since Beckham left Ruud has started scoring less goals, I wouldn't mind Beckham back as long as it is still £10 million+ for Ronaldo aswell.
I would rather Ruud stayed than Ronaldo, there are plenty of wingers out there but there are few poachers as good as Ruud.

Joaquin was pretty mince last season, don't know what was up with him. He seemed to put in a few dazzling performances then was rather average. Though with Spain he showed he's a dangerous winger, coming on as a sub and dribbling his way towards goal. I still reckon he'd be a great signing, but i just wouldn't want him to go to Man U.:tongue: :ninja:

Calm down ladies, I doubt they'll be relegated, it's too costly.
Dr. Bob Kelso
09-07-2006, 16:28
As an outsider looking in you need a winger a defensive midfielder and an attacking midfielder. I don't think you have that kind of cash even with the sale of the wany away Crynaldo. Gattuso is exactly what you need. I think it is time you part company with RVN or you will regret it. Nothing against the lad and he is still a quality striker but he is getting on now and this year will proabably be the last good offer you wil get for him.
Just my opinion.
Anyone got proper official pics of the new United kit then? The official website has it blacked out.
I'd rather Tevez than Torres personally as a replacement for Rudd if he left. He and Rooney young powerful battering rams with amazing shooting. Sounds awesome. Though we wouldn't score many headers with those two, maybe that's why SAF fancies Torres more.
Love to see Pirlo and Gattuso. think we need another winger even if Ronaldo doesn't go. Gonna be an expensive summer. Hopefully.

I'd like to keep Ruud, get Beckham back, Scholes is fine as our attacking midfielder and someone like Pirlo (dreaming I know) as our DM.

Have to say that away kit looks class ;)
Hate the collar on the home kit. Wish the same template as that of the away was used for the home kit. Like the away one though. Socks are cool on the home one.
On tonights evidence, United could do with Pirlo and Gattuso in the centre of midfield. Both played well, Gattuso more so, but they linked up well. If Milan get relegated, we should defo go for them both (as rumoured in todays papers). Guess we'll find out tomorrow! I expect there'll be a scramble for Cannavaro now if Juve go down. Probably go to Madrid to partner Sergio Ramos.
Not a fan of either, your current home shirt was the business, current away one was a bit shit though. Remember the Euro Blue one from a few years back? Fantastic! Mind you, seeing our away kit for next season...

10-07-2006, 00:44
if we sign tevez that would be great but i think we would be better with torres as tevez plays like rooney and i think they would clash, i would welcome beckham back without a doubt, somebody to finally get a good ball in to the middle instead of people like fletcher and ronaldo putting it into the stands all the time, also i think we should be looking for a keeper to replace van der sar, ben foster is not good enough to replace him!!
Away kit is a bit bland...but not too bad...just nothing too special.
If Ronaldo goes...surely you can prise Torres from Athletico...but both are speculative...Fergie seems to want to keep hold of Ronaldo according to some rumours pertaining to meetings with Ronaldo's agent.

He's played very well for the rezzers these last few years.
Fast as fuck, he suffered a broken leg a couple of years ago. Alongside Rossi he formed the strikeforce which helped the United rezzers complete the treble last year.

Real plan smash and Gab for Heinze
Spanish giants Real Madrid are reportedly lining up a £10million swoop to bring Manchester United defender Gabriel Heinze to the Bernabeu.
The Spanish giants are reportedly set to swoop for the Argentina World Cup star.
Reports claim Heinze knows about Real's interest, and says he wants to leave for La Liga.
Losing Heinze would be a massive blow for Sir Alex Ferguson, who is already facing the prospect of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Cristiano Ronaldo leaving this summer.
Van Nistelrooy looks set to join German giants Bayern Munich while Ronaldo has insisted he fancies a move to Spain and won't see out his four-year contract.
Heinze joined United in the summer of 2004 from French side Paris Saint-Germain for a fee of £6.9million.
He was superb in his first season but missed most of the last campaign because of a cruciate knee ligament injury.
Heinze is just the sort of combative defender new Real coach Fabio Capello loves in his teams.
And the Argentine - a big crowd favourite at Old Trafford - would be the perfect man to shore up the shaky Bernabeu rearguard.
Heinze is one of seven players new Real president Ramon Calderon is hoping to land after his recent election success.
"We have a list of seven names which the management want me to buy and I have the money set aside for all of them," he said.

To be quite honest Ronaldo can fuck off. I personally don't want those kind of acting antics anymore. He's not as good as he thinks he is, and to say United havent given him any support is the biggest load of ungrateful bullshit Ive ever heard. How about when he was accused of rape and we stuck by him? Or when his father died and we gave him compasionate leave until he was ready? Short ass memory he's got then. Quite frankly if someone is gonna be such an arse about saying they want to leave then leave. He's a promising player sure, but replaceable. RVN won't go to the same club as Ronaldo I'm pretty sure, not after all that has happened. In the case of Schweinsteiger, not sure he'd want to go to United from Bayern it'd probably be a step down for him.
I wasn't all that impressed with Ribery during the world cup for France, after having been linked to him for a while before. Camoranesi is shit, don't want him at all. Lennon is an option and English too, though like Ronaldo has the dribbling but lacks the end product, especially where crossing is concerned. SWP on the cheap! Though doubt he'd go to the other half of Manchester he'd get a slating. Would like to see us get Downing as a replacement to Giggs, though not neccesarily this Summer.
I'm now convinced Gattuso is our man for centre mid, though I'd settle for Mascherano, Hargreaves too. I don't think Heinze is the type of player to fuck off because Real are interested, he seems better than that.
SAF needs to be very very careful this Summer. If he's not careful United could be half the team they were last season with the big names going. Of course if he gets it right we could actually mount a serious challenge on Chelsea. i have a feeling though the most serious challengers to Chelsea will be Liverpool. If they can sort their strikers out they will be a force to be reckoned with, they're sound everywhere else.

Yea good post.
Agree nearly on all parts, MUTV were talking about ronaldo and the callers picked up on all that Fergie and united have done for Ronaldo. Its even harder to defend him when its concerning another club player in this case rooney. Honestly i would agree Ronaldo can go, its clear he dont want to be here he is a exceptional talent but one that can be replaced. In this case someone like schweinsteiger/ or prefarbly Ribery. Ribery is a class young player who has alot to learn and could do under the guidance of SAF, though i dont think he wants to go to united by Lyon is his choice.
Yea Camoranesi is utter shit and has worse hair. I would prefer someone like appiah/ Gattuso or Masscherano in the CM position to be honest. Not sure about Owen Hagreaves, who has not hid is desire to play for man utd. Heinze is a utd player next season im sure.

Never heard of Kalisinchko. If Hargreaves can show the kind of form he showed against Portugal (he was by far our best player in my opinion) on a regular basis for United I would be happy. As I said I'd prefer Gattuso and Mascherano ahead of him, but he's potentially a cheaper option to them both (plus he's English. ish) It all hinges on what happens with Milan really I guess. Personally I can't see the Italian FA wanting to demote their top four teams, their top league would be a farce for the next 2-3 years. I think they might make Juventus the main scapegoats.
Diarra is oviously good, but will be overpriced. Appiah would be a good signing, though I'd have Hargreaves ahead of him. Ribery needs to show more than he did in the World Cup to convince me, though Ive seen him in a few video clips do some great stuff, though these compilation vids always make me dubious because they fail to show what he does for the rest of the game. I really hope all the links with Duscher turn out to be rubbish. Chelsea sign Ballack, so we sign Duscher. Not of the standard we need.
The way we're heading we could have a completely revamped midfield and attack for next season (minus Rooney). To be honest it's what the doctor ordered if we can get the right players at the right price. Though it does worry me how much of a change the first team will undertake, though I doubt the defence and keeper spots will change so at least we'll have stability at the back.

18 assists in the league for Ribery last season surey says alot
18 assists is a good statistic for him, didn't know that. Though you could argue the French league isn't a patch on the big three, and he failed to produce that kind of form when it mattered in the World Cup. He gave us glimpses of what he is capable of, eg his effort in extra time in the final, though he'd go missing for other parts of the game.

I would not mind especially after his performances for france in the latter games.The French international may end up leaving Italy if current club Juventus are relegated over allegations of bribery, and Sir Alex Ferguson is tipped to sign Vieira after coming close to doing so in the past.
We shall learn juves fate tommorow.
They play Orlando Pirates either tomorrow or Saturday, Vieria would be a class signing but a contraversial one, not sure whether Gary Neville would like it, I would though.

Gabriel Heinze has ruled out talk of a move to Real Madrid because he wants to repay United for sticking by him during a season out injured.
Yes, get in, thats great of him to say i am so glad he is staying, one of the best defenders around at the moment tbh

Everyone at UTD would love it, even Roy Keane himself because then he'll be a team-mate. Its normal to clash when they're playing against each other but when on the same team they happen to become best of friends. :happy:

Ebanks-Blake ------> Plymouth for £200k, good move in my opinion, was a decent goalscorer, but was unlikely to break through into the first team.
Ruud has asked to leave united its offical. Very bad news.
Man United are edging closer to signing West Brom keeper Tomasz Kuszczak.

Saw a great rumour on the 'United We Stand' rivals site:
Ronaldo Loan Deal
By UWS
Date: 14/7/2006
Rumours continue to grow that Manchester United are on the verge of announcing a loan deal that will defuse the Ronaldo situation. A club insider says "Expect an announcement any time soon that Ronaldo will move to Stoke City on a four month loan deal."
This is expected to deflect unwanted attention for the start of the new season until after Christmas, by which time most supporters and Wayne Rooney will have forgotten any ill-feelings toward the player. Asked why Stoke City? the insider explained "Cristiano can commute down the M6 in his Mazda convertible and won't need to up-root from his Mancunian base. Stoke also has a good record of relations with United, ever since Jimmy Greenhoff went one way and Sammy McIlroy went the other."
How Ronaldo will adapt to life in the First Division is not known, but the good people of Stoke are sure to give him a warm welcome.
Le sourceage! (http://manchesterunited.rivals.net/default.asp?sid=891&p=2&stid=8415952)
Last paragraph - would we fuck! :laugh: Until he learnt to live in Sir Stan's shoes with great humility, honour and honesty then he'd swell the gates, which would be great for the bank balance, and get roared on by the Boothen Boys.
Be great if it happened, although, as Greenegg can vouch for; he'll be played in defence, and his foward runs and running with the ball would be seriously limited.

juventus are down, so is lazio and fiorentina. I wish we can strengthen our squad a bit, lots of problems are emerging and it doesn't look good
Results are in about the Italian match fixing saga then. Milan escaped the drop then, unfortunate they were the team United wanted to go down. Though there is still hope as they start off with a reduction of points (though they could still qualify for the CL for the following season), but are not part of the CL this coming season. So maybe we could get Pirlo or Gattuso. Maybe that's being too optimistic.
What's everyones' views on this, any players that we could realistically capture as a result? For example I heard that Vieira might go on a season long loan. Though couldn't see him going to United really. I expect Cannavaro to be playing in a Madrid shirt next year, Zambrotta too I'd imagine to replace R Carlos.

We'll sell Ruud for around £12m I believe, bring in Torres for £20m and hopefully purchase around 12 midfielders.
I would like to see Richardson given a chance to play this season as he has shown he's got what it takes to be a good player, if he can get back to his great form he would be very useful.

The fact is that Scholes is past it or will be soon, Fletcher and Park Ji Sung just aren't quite good enough and Smith isn't a midfielder.

:rolleyes: I wish
Shame on Ruud. I wanted SAF to try and resolve what problems they had.
Anyone know if Joey Barton still wants to leave Man Shitty? I'd like him as our replacement midfielder.
Ruud is NOT lazy.
New kit is alright, though I hate the collar. Would have liked to have seen the collar the Brazil home kit has, I think that looks quality. The white/silver around the badge is the same as the kit we wore when we won the CL in '99.
I think SAF will hold out on a creative mid 'till next summer and rely on Scholes. I'd rather we tried to get Pirlo. So looks like a holding player, a striker and a GK is on his list. I hope he does get torres over Defoe. I'd like to see another winger.
I also hope he takes advantage of the Italy situation. We've been linked with Cannavaro, but then defence is not the area we need to strengthen. though with his quality you wouldn't say no. Nedved on loan for a season?
Atletico Madrid have moved quickly to deny the latest link between Manchester United and Fernando Torres -insisting they would not sell him for 'all the money in the world'.
English reports suggested that Sir Alex Ferguson was ready to bid in excess of £20 million for the Spanish striker - who had a sensational World Cup finals scoring three goals.
With Ruud van Nistelrooy preparing to leave Old Trafford, resources are not an issue for The Red Devils - and Ferguson was ready to test Atletico's resolve.
However, the capital club have always maintained a strong stance over their young skipper and it would seem they intend to fend off any interest and keep him at The Vincente Calderon for at least another season.
"I do not speak about the rumours in the press, but I would reiterate that Fernando Torres is not for sale," Atletico director general Miguel Angel Gil told skysports.com.
"Not for all the money in the world."
Newly appointed coach Javier Aguirre is indeed relishing the prospect of working with Torres.
"The club has told me that El Nino play this season with us," he said.
"I am preparing all our schemes with his presence in Atletico."
Also Pavel Nedved's agent has claimed that Tottenham have made an offer for him. Meaning its unlikely united will get him..
Gattusos yet to make a decision about his future.

Gattuso has always said he'd stay with Milan no matter what division they are playing in next season.
Edit:
Gattuso makes Milan pledge
World Cup winner Gennaro Gattuso has vowed to remain with Milan, even if the club are relegated following the match-fixing trial in Italy.
Milan, Juventus, Lazio and Fiorentina are expected to learn their fate on Friday, with the European vultures circling in order to pick up the pieces if the quartet are relegated.
The majority of the big-name stars have opted to keep their own counsel prior to the outcome of the trial, but midfield warhorse Gattuso has vowed to stay loyal to the Rossoneri even if they are banished from Serie A.
"I spoke to our vice-president Adriano Galliani and told him again that I'm not going anywhere," Gattuso is quoted as saying in The Sun.
"I'm proud to wear the Milan shirt.
"There's been so much talk about Milan in the last few months but I still think this is a unique club.
"I have a really long contract with Milan. I won't quit. Should Milan be relegated to Serie B, I'll go there too."

Guillermo
16-07-2006, 16:41
Certainly need a whole load of work doing to our midfield. Miller will soon be out, and it's unfortunate that Fletcher is Scottish, otherwise he'd already be out the door. 2 midfielders is the least we need to do (Gattuso, Senna or Mascherano (;)), and an attacking player.
Gattuso is definetely not coming, definetely not going anywhere it seems. Senna would be a shot in our own foot with his age being 29 I think. Although Senna would be a cheaper buy than Vieira and many others. Still I'd opt for Mascherano, Diarra, maybe SWP, Torres and another attack minded player. What we need most of all is balance, and a replacement for Neville, although I can see Bardsley coming along nicely. Possibly give him quite a few games next season to mix him into the position before throwing him in. If Rossi is loaned out to a low Prem side next year I can see it benefiting both teams but I also think we'll need Rossi.
Gennaro Gattuso's agent admits his charge is yet to make a decision on his future.
The Milan midfield general has always maintained his loyalty to The Rossoneri cause, but a number of sides are still gearing up to test the resolve of the Serie A giant.
Manchester United are thought to head the queue for the former Rangers ace, who must decide whether to stick with Milan - who avoided demotion to Serie B, but were deducted points meaning they will not be in Europe next term.
"I am going to sit down with Gennaro now in order to discuss the implications of all of this," his agent Andrea D'Amico told The Mail on Sunday.
"Only after this in-depth chat can we decide what will be best for his future."
Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed he is keeping an eye on the situation Italy after Juventus, Lazio and Fiorentina were relegated - and all three along with Milan were ruled out of European competition.

Cannavaro and Zambrotta are definite no's. Not only are there plenty of other clubs who want them, I don't think Fergie is looking to strengthen the defense in any way. I wouldn't mind Nedved for a year loan, but I have a feeling it'll be either Zlatan or Trezeguet that we'll buy.
I forgot about Trezegeut, he could be alright for a season or two but he is starting to lose it, you never know though moving to United might be the best thing he has ever done and he could recapture his brilliant form.

I doubt we will get Canna and Zambrotta and plus we dont need them to be honest we have a good defence and good back ups. Nedved will not be a good buy because he is old and he is too old to be able to play league games and champ league games.

Reports emanating from Italy claim Milan midfielder Andrea Pirlo is keen for a fresh start, with Spain his favoured destination.
The Italian World Cup winner has been strongly linked with a move away from the San Siro after some impressive displays for the Azzurri in Germany.
With Milan not involved in next season's UEFA Champions League following their guilty verdict in the match-fixing trial, some of the Rossoneri's biggest names are rumoured to be muttering their dissatisfaction behind the scenes.
Pirlo is thought to be one of those unhappy at the prospect of playing only domestic football next season and could be set to leave Milan.
A number of the continent's top clubs have been linked with the 27-year-old, including Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
However, Pirlo's admission of his likeness for Spain will alert Real to the possibility of his signature, although Milan are still determined to hold onto their star midfielder, who has two years remaining on his current contract.
Milan have yet to comment on the situation but should they relent and allow Pirlo to leave, they would most likely step up their bid to sign Lyon's Mahamadou Diarra as a replacement.

Tee hee. Dong.
Dong Zizou? I doubt it :P
one of my mates dad's knows somebody who is part of the coaching staff and told my mate that they were getting bellamy ages ago and he also said yesterday that they will be getting trezeguet, thank god he wont be coming to usAye that Trezeguet with 23 league goals last season is really shite. :rolleyes:
Bent with 18 goals...goals dont mean everything.
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed Tottenham Hotspur have rejected a bid for Michael Carrick, while United have also turned down a bid from Real Madrid for Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Ferguson is searching for a new midfielder, as he looks to find a long-term replacement for Roy Keane.
Tottenham admitted last month that United had tabled a bid for Carrick, but that they had rejected the bid out of hand.
Ferguson is a big admirer of the former West Ham United man and is thought to be weighing up a new move for the classy midfielder.
"We are trying to sign another central midfielder," said Ferguson.
"We have made a bid for Michael Carrick, but they (Tottenham) turned it down."
Ferguson also hinted that he could make a move for Juventus midfielder Patrick Vieira.
The Old Trafford chief is monitoring the fall-out at Juventus following their relegation from Serie A and is ready to move for some of their top stars.
Ferguson is a big fan of Vieira and has tried to sign him in the past.
"We have to see what Juventus are planning for their players," added Ferguson.
"Vieira, (Fabio) Cannavaro and (Gianluca) Buffon are all top players and there are question marks about where they are going next season."
Ferguson also moved to quell speculation that van Nistelrooy was on the verge of a move to Real Madrid.
Van Nistelrooy handed in a transfer request last week and revealed he has his heart set on a switch to the Spanish capital.
Reports emanating from Spain suggested a deal could soon be completed, but Ferguson insists any move is still a way off after turning down Real's offer for the Dutchman.
"There is no agreement with Real Madrid and Manchester United over Ruud," said Ferguson.
"We have refused their offer. He remains a Manchester United player."
It seems likely that a move will go through, with Real keen to sign the former PSV Eindhoven ace and van Nistelrooy determined to move to El Santiago Bernabeu.
Very interesting i would say.
Tee hee. Dong.
Dong Zizou? I doubt it :P
Dong Sholong. :tongue:

lol, didn't think of it like that it's a win win for Real with Torres leaving Spain too.
If Ruud leaves, I think Torres and Tevez are the only two who could begin to replace him and even they would not have his goalsoring record.
Apparently Tevez supports United but that dosen't really mean anything, out of the two I would prefer Torres as Tevez does the same sort of job as Rooney so it would be pointless getting him.
They are similar true. Though I wouldn't say no to having two tanks up front. torres would appear to be a better partner though
Nah i dont think he supports Man United, its just the press chatting shit because he wore a Man United top at press conference and he claims that Nike gave it to him

Hey guys i think Sir Alex should put in an offer for Torres becoz we need another quality striker like rooney, Ribery would be awesome on the right so Ronaldo can play on the left. Viera i'm not so sure of, and i think Gattuso or Pirlo would add great support to the strikers with their experience at AC Milan.

It would be a great pair of strikers if Man U had Torres to the squad. Gattuso as DMF, then Ribery on the right and Park (or another signing) on the left...it should be enough to compete against the blue scum.

Ribery apparently said that he wants to move to Lyon so there isn't much of a chance that we will sig him and antway, he didn't impres sme much in the World Cup.

and then you wake up from this dream on a squad consisting of rooney, giggs and some 2nd class players oh and that pussy ronaldo, face it dude no one wants to come to us i dunno why, other teams are tearing the leagues apart searching for players. Even diarra doesn't want to come to us, a player like diarra is having second thoughts about us, i mean what the hell has the world come into, we should be able to sign any player we want just like that.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has reviewed his current striker situation, and has revealed that he plans to play Alan Smith as a forward when the ex-Leeds man returns from injury. Good news he is a better striker then a defensive midfielder.

Defoe ? Laughable to be honest.
I'd rather keep Saha, Smudge, Rooney and Rossi playing instead of buying Defoe. Being English his price will be automatically doubled too.

I dont know why everyone thinks Defoe is a flop, i wouldnt mind because when Ruud goes Saha, Smudge, Rooney and Rossi will not help us win the prem, we need a clinical striker and Defoe is definatly a clinical striker

He is a good player, i had the pleasure of seeing him first hand at west ham. Frankly one of the most underrated strikers in the prem.
Rossis going on loan, only leaves rooney really. Saha not up to it, and either is Smith to be honest.

I really like defoe i dont why sven left him out of the england squad, major mistake i'd love him to be at OT next season
Defoe will not win us the Prem nor be a 20+ goal scoring striker each season.
Rossis going on loan
This confirmed as I know Rossi refused to go out on Loan only a matter of weeks ago as he felt he would break into the first team at some point this year.
So is this Rossi looking good for the future then Hunter?
I think at the moment Giuseppe Rossi is on a knife-edge he could become a great player by playing regularly or he could be another Liam Miller good prospect turned out crap. Personally I think he will do well, he seems to have a good head on his shoulders which definetly helps and he is way too good for the reserve league, just depends now whether he can hack it in the Premiership.

Rossi has pissed on every inch of the Reserve league, his goals to game ratio is superb. Got 30 out of 28 last season and around 20+ assists I think and he didn't even play his best. The season before that he was more impressive with a better record. The last season he just seemed a bit bored however he developed as a man carrying out an aggressive streak against his marking defenders. Used to be a wee little boy but now he can dish it out too, hes developed hugely. Rossi will be very big some day, his time isn't far away either, his technique is better than most of the United first team as it is. Shaping up to be a remarkable player, my worry is if hes Loaned out and likes this new club and decides to stay then what ? Will our boy wonder be destroyed, I would cry till death if we ever sold Rossi before he made himself a huge star.

He certainly won't be another Liam Miller, thats already evident from his technique, his shooting ability, his vision and his overall footballing brain. The kid reminds me a lot like Dennis Bergkamp.

I can see what you mean about the Dennis Bergkamp resemblence as he always seems to have lots of time on the ball, especially in reserve games. He is also a good header of the ball for someone of his size.
I've been watching the reserve matches for over 2 years, from my uncles tapes and also MUTV and I'm astounded by Rossi's awareness and playmaking. Hes so calm on the ball yet so sharp when he needs to be, hes a rare young talent whos been breeded now to suit the English game. I can't honestly picture him playing for another club, and I don't want to.
If we fail to make sufficient signings this summer I say we throw Rossi into the mixer and give him a lot of oppotunity to shine in the Cup and the Prem too.
Yeah I have seen a lot of him in the reserves where he is way too good and just tears teams apart, some of the goals he scores are unbelievable.
What do you think of some of the other prospects like Chris Eagles, David Jones etc.
Na Hunter rossis loan move is not yet confirmed but fergie is certain to get him out on loan, most likely WBA.

Eagles is doubtful to be big in my opinion, often shows signs of brilliance but lacks the final product. He can improve on it of course but he maybe getting loaned out again apparently.
Jones will make it, a really good player and will eventually break through, I expect to see him play some part in our squad next season, maybe even 1st team. A talented player and can definetely play in the Premiership in my opinion.
Evans is one of those players to keep an eye out for, young CB who has had an incredible season. Definetely pushing for a squad position and wouldn't surprise me to see him 'starting' the Cup games and maybe the less important games next season. Dominated the Reserve league last year undoubtedly, up there with Rossi performance wise.
Na Hunter rossis loan move is not yet confirmed but fergie is certain to get him out on loan, most likely WBA.
But if the Baggies rejected our bid for 'ole Tommy then I doubt Fergie will be polite enough to loan Rossi to them.

Ah yea true, we all know fergie im sure he will try for the last time maybe 3rd time lucky. If not Rossi staying wouldnt be too bad :tongue:
I agree with you with all of that I think, Eagles is Premiership standard but not good enough for title challengers, Jones is the sort of midfielder we need and Evans looks like he is able to handle the top level, what about Dong Fangzhuo because personally I don't think he is going to anywhere near good enough but Fergie seems to have faith in him, what do you reckon?
Well its far too difficult to tell with Dong at the moment since hes been with Antwerp for 2 and a half seasons or so. He will still play for them for a while longer from what I hear until he finally recieves his work permit allowing him to play for us. But he has talent, we need to test him in an English game though, see if the environment suits him. I reckon he'll make his mark but whether he'll be big is too difficult to tell. Reserve job for a little while probably.
SSN's: http://home.skysports.com/list.asp?hlid=404557&CPID=8&clid=1&lid=&title=Rossi+wants+United+stay
Young apprentice Giuseppe Rossi says he wants to fight to replace his mentor Ruud van Nistelrooy at Manchester United in the coming season.
The Dutchman's departure looks imminent after five phenomenal seasons and The Red Devils have been left with a huge hole to fill.
Hopes of a new striker at Old Trafford have been all but dashed after Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed he would restore returning duo Alan Smith and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to fill in behind internationals Wayne Rooney and Louis Saha.
But Rossi has not given up his dreams of first team football with The Red Devils this season, despite suggestions that he could be farmed out on loan.
"I would prefer to stay and play," Rossi revealed.
"If you have to choose between all the teams in The Premiership, the first one that pops into your head is Manchester United.
"I do need to get some experience in The Premiership. If that means I have to go out on loan, then I will.
"But if there is the chance to stay here and play, that would be the ultimate."
Both the manager and forward are united in the belief that it would be futile for Rossi to carry on in the reserves where he has been creating waves and scoring freely for the past two seasons.
"I have had two years in the reserves and that is enough," Rossi commented.
"I don't think another season at that level would be the best thing for me at all."
The 19-year-old has already had been forced to make some difficult decisions so early in his fledgling career and none more so than that on his international status.
As an American-born Italian he has dual nationality, but turned down the chance to play in Germany for USA in favour of the world champions.
"I did have contact with the US squad," he admitted.
"They asked me to play and I knew there was an opportunity to get to the World Cup.
"But I also knew if I took that chance, I would never be able to play for Italy, which has been my dream virtually since the day I was born.
"I had to tell the USA the truth. I know it will be far harder trying to get in the Italian national team than the United States but I have absolutely no regrets about the option I have taken."
The talented youngster will be looking to cement his name firmly into United's plans and prove his quality this pre-season, which continues with the last game of the South African tour on Saturday.
