Manchester United Season 2011-12

You can trust old fart to get back at Sneijder.

Sneijder 'not ideal' Scholes successor
September 7, 2011

Sir Alex Ferguson claims Wesley Sneijder would not be the right man to replace Paul Scholes at Manchester United, insisting that only Barcelona stars Xavi and Andres Iniesta would be up to the job.

Sir Alex thinks that Xavi and Andres Iniesta are th eonly players who could replace Paul Scholes.
Sneijder, 27, was repeatedly linked to a move from Inter Milan to Old Trafford over the summer but the proposed transfer never materialised.

And now Ferguson has claimed the Netherlands international was not the right type of player to fill the void left by veteran Scholes, who retired at the end of last season.

"Sneijder is not the ideal replacement for Scholes," Ferguson said. "He's a fantastic player but he was not who we were looking for to replace Scholes. Only Xavi and Iniesta are comparable to Scholes.

the 2 that he named...are absolutely not for sale..even he throw in rooney oso maybe not possible.

sneijder is the 2nd best...if according to him, not 100% replacement.

Wah red, your avatar quite chio, LOL

Weeeee 0 - 5 to Man U

Rooney 8 goals in 4 matches, awesome!!!

mind games starting...

Chelsea to axe Torres for Bayer Leverkusen AND Man Utd

Missing the Champions League opener would be a huge blow for the out-of-sorts Spaniard, 27, who has managed just one goal since his record-breaking switch in January.

I'll be surprised if he was jerking off, LOL

Johnny Evans was right when he said this could be a make or break season for him. Looking at his performance so far, I dun think he'll make it if his marking and understanding of the game is anything to go by. I can't fault his enthusiasm though. The other players that are likely to play a small and limited role would probably be the Da Dilva twins. Of the two, Raphael has a better chance of making it to the first eleven.

I read recently that United is looking for another defender,perhaps a probable replacement for Evans.

nah..its for Ferdinand LOL

my thots from the Champions League match...gosh...a pale and tepid performance frm Man U...

maybe its becos Fergie changed 7 players. The midfielder totally lack grip...ok, Valencia, Fletcher, Park not exactly your sexy players and two coming back from injuries.

Wah seh...I saw Fletcher, got a shock, he like aged 20years...the illness must have deeply affected him.

WTF Carrick is doing? He is a passenger...gave a ball away at the edge of the box, causing a one on one, luckily the Benfica striker shot into the net.

He has simply lost his touch...ought to be sold in the next transfer window.

Fabio totally not in the picture, allowing players to go past him like he is non existant...maybe he is new? The intro of Phil Jones helped stemmed the tide.

Lindegaard did himself alot of good with his performance...he made 2 good saves...i think he deserve to play against Chelsea. De Gea ought to be benched for a few matches to wake his bloody idea up.

I think Fergie using this match to give his fringe players a run out...hence he must be contended with a draw - away, against the most difficult opponent in the group. However, if not because of Lindegaard, we would have lost the match.

The player to boo = Carrick, Fabio.

Once again, it is evident with these bunch of players, we aren't good enough yet to win the CL...if we had Sneijder, how different it would be.

new tgt of Man U - the so-called new Bryan Robson:

Ross Barkley

An entertaining game but the injuries is starting to pile up. 5 matches into the season n we've got 5-6 injuries to key players.

esp in midfield...already quite thin...without cleverly...hmm

anderson is hopeless, carrick too. Fletcher look like a zombie, it will be a few matches more before he can regain his fitness (if he will). Wingers wise, i fear the day when Young is injured or need to be rested...he is by far, the most lethal weapon.

Nani is blowing hots and cold...really hope he can be more consistent. Valencia hopefully will get back match fitness soon. park is a headless housefly, only cheong, no football brains...

there...oops, giggs - how long can we rely on his aging legs & lungs...

who else...we have good stock of wingers - but really thin on central midfielders...unless SAF wants to deploy Rooney into midfield.

tonight Man U vs Leeds..

a formality or an upset?

last time i recall....Leeds knock complacent Man U out of Carling Cup (or was it FA cup LOL)

Man U away? an upset is not possible......

Owen's second goal is a beauty.

Carling Cup is a waste of time. Utd should just field their under 18 team for the competition.

Just saw the starting 11 team sheet. All familiar names but who is Ezekiel Fryers?
And who played centre back? Carrick and Fryers?
