You A-hole. I just got so excited.

I'll miss Evra, but it's his time to move on.
I will always remember him fondly for trolling Arsenal.
“In my opinion, Arsenal is just an Academy. I watch their games, they’re a pleasure to watch, but will they win a title? That’s what people remember. In 10 years, nobody will remember of them.
“Arsenal is a great Club, they didn’t win a trophy for 5 years, it’s a crisis in my opinion. People always think about the ‘Arsenal way of playing’, but at the end, there’s nothing.
“We can lose 13-0 against them, but at the end what happen? Nothing. No trophy, no nothing.”

Nani just never could live up to being the "new Ronaldo" that everyone expected of him.

sorry

I love Evra as well. He has not played as well as years past but can stick around if he would like. But i think he wants to move on and no one at the club is really trying to stop him.

Nani

He would be useful as a sub/ mentor to Shaw, but I don't think he would like that role. To tell you the truth, I think he dissevers better by United then to expect him to stick around and play second fiddle to a 19 year old.

That's why I'm sad to see Vidic go, but understand that he knows he can't play at Utd. level anymore and it's best for everyone to let him to go back to Serie A, where an aging defender can be more competitive.

Rio I wish would just retired two seasons ago. I don't want to see him be reduced to playing for QPR in his last match at Old Trafford.

Watching Nani is exactly like watching Freddie Adu to me, although he plays at a much higher level. It's sad to see such athleticism not be consistent enough to be anything more than a slightly above average player.

Reports that Nicky Butt and Carrack both left the training ground before Van Gaal showed up.
Do yall think there is something in this?

This

I love the buy b/c he is so versatile

I think LvG brought him in to play the holding role and his amazing ball distribution from deep. Seen a few posters in the transfer thread saying we bought an attack mid, but his is a traditional both ways player who can score.

Nicky Butt and Carrick


i wouldnt imagine but you never know.. Id imagine Carrick sticks around because honestly he has more value if he does rather than selling him as i doubt he would command that much in a fee.

Carrick wasn't bad when he was basically forced to play CB. He still plays fearless.

Yea, he is near the bottom of my worry list of players sticking around.

Now that it looks like the Vidal deal is not going to happen it's a strong possibility.

Carrick, Fletcher, Herrera (only because I haven't seen him play), Jones, Anderson, Cleverly
in that order.
ETA:
This is assuming that we play a diamond, because LVG said he was going to play Rooney as a 9, and I don't see RVP sitting on the bench.

Posted it yesterday, but I think Carrick would really excel as a full time CB.

He I would think he is third best CB on our team, but I think it has more to do with how bad Jones and Smalling are.
He wouldn't be a horrible CB, but I would be alot more comfortable with someone with experience back there.
