They tried, Thuram was their target. He went Juve instead!

i think you are right Lavi, Stam must've been ejected from Man U coz of that, but who knows?

as for Vernon, i think he maybe well a replacement for... keane? but i think he is a forward not a midfielder... i hope Man U get back the chemistry before its all over! [img]smile.gif[/img]

going to bed y'all

Keane doesnt need replacing yet, I dont think its that. Keane is still the best midfielder in the country along with Viera and Gerrard.

I just think Fergie wanted to finish his last season in style!!

Maybe fergie found out, and got rid.

If u look at it that way, its a great sale!!!

Veron is 26/28 ish....in his prime

Blanc is 35/36 - still great, just too slow!

From that perspective, it's a great sale, I guess. But from the perspective of what it's done to Man U's defence, the replacement (Blanc) obviously doesn't cut it. Their back four is the worst I've ever seen them, and their midfield defense isn't much better with this new formation they're using.

And Butterfingers Barthez...what a joke!!!! [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Lavindathar · 12-08-2001, 12:58 PM

Barthez is still the best there is!!

The Defence -

Silvestre is amazin
P/G Neville - Neither cut it
Brown - Was going to be great...had a bad season....will he be the player we thought?
Blanc - Great player, great mind - too slow
O'Shea - Looks good for the future
Irwin - Bit too old, still good

Stam was ejected for having an argument with Sir Alex. The same way the Dwight Yorke was put on the outer. He got offside with the manager!

Keane is Man U's backbone. If not for him they would really be in the @#$% at the moment. Veron is a midfielder, but his arrival has caused a change in Man U's formation.

Donut will be laughing his head off right now, I'd imagine.

Barthez is a clumsy fool.. Man U has been getting a really bad string of goalkeepers since Schmichael(sp) left..

Come on Man U.. they cant be THAT bad..

Memnoch · 12-08-2001, 01:37 PM

And to top it all off, Liverpool savaged Boro 2-0 to consolidate their position at the top of the table with 32 points. The hapless Man U are in NINTH place with 21, having played 1 game more than Liverpool.

Now if only our Champions League position was as secure...

They should've kept Bozza while they had the chance.
