      He found his level that’s the top and tail of things here ! If he is to get more time on the field then I would suggest a loan spell in the Championship but he is definitely not good enough for the Prem at this moment in time !

      To be honest Filmoss I agree with you this time. If we were safe then I wouldn’t mind seeing him given a few starts just to see if he can improve, but I have said it myself in the past, looks alright but I think his level will be lower down the leagues, not looked great when he has been given a run at the end of games and is too lightweight. Sometimes you can forgive a player for being lightweight when they have a lot of skill and talent to go with it (Walcott for example) but this isn’t the case here I’m afraid.

        giving players 15 minutes here and there at the end of games doesn’t do them any good really. he needs to be starting games thus gaining valuable experience and iam sure he will become a great player. i would deffo start him at reading, his confidence must be sky high.

        Although the current team aren’t playing great, I think all we can give McManaman is 15 minutes here or there, with ourselves currently in the relegation zone and needing valuable points wherever we can get them I don’t think now is the time to be giving people ‘experience’.. If we were already safe on the other hand, this would be the ideal time to give him starts and give him the experience for the start of next season. We have to stick with the already experienced for the moment, unfortunately.

          Had an absolute blinder yesterday and I really hope he gets his chance against reading from the start but I just can’t see Martinez ‘risking it’.

          Do you think he should start?

          Definitely not.

            Hate to be pessimistic (Not like me) but unless Oldham win (Which they won’t) then our cup run is over. Sh*t draw.

              I would have him over any of our forwards !

              Nah, He is one of those United players they get from time to time that get carried by the rest of the team. Butt, P Neville, Gibson, Sharpe, Carrick, Richardson, Bellion, Kleberson, Manucho, Djemba Djemba, Obertan. Put those type of player in any other side and they look extremely average and soon disappear.

              Never rated Welbeck, and there is truth in you get picked for England depending on which club you play for.

              Not sure about Carrick though, he is a good passer of the ball..[/quote]

              Carrick is class.[/quote]

              Class?! You’ve had too many cans_of_lager!! :woohoo:

                You dont half talk some shyte you.

                P Neville would look extremely average in any other side? :silly:

                Have you seen him for Everton? He’s been captain fantastic for the best part of ten years!!!

                Wobble Wobble – dont like you very much.[/quote]

                Have to disagree sorry Spaulding. Capt Fantastic? He may be Capt but NOT fantastic. Have seen numerous Everton games (Against us amongst others) and he has never stood out, just looks average.

                  Awful player

                  Not a very productive post but I kind of agree. Very average.

                  He looked average at Sunderland too. Nto good enough for Utd OR England. Don’t think he has much time left at UTD, but as someone stated earlier that he is better than our forwards so I would take him here ;)

                  That being said, he isn’t bad to play with on FIFA ;)

                    I will stupidly be carrying on my tradition of placing at least £100 on Holland (Netherlands) to win the world cup (As I do with the Euros also)).

                    The tradition started many years ago (Before I was old enough to bet) ;)

                    Like every year they will probably play good football and fail to win (sound familiar?) but I cannot stop this bet from happening. I love the football they play when they play well and have some of my favourite players aswell. The fact that I would be distraught if I didn’t place the bet and they actually won plays a part in me continuing this bet. ;)

                    I DON’T think England will win, but of course I will HAVE to place money on them in pure hope :)

                      Wasn’t even going to comment on this thread..

                      Got CLraped by a work colleage.

                      But whilst i’m here… The ‘De Vos and Jackson are better than Caldwell’ comment is ridiculous.

                        I don’t know what you look like exactly!!

                        Was you to the far end of the bar as you walk in??

                        And how did you know which one was me? The handsome looks? Or the copy of your book in my hand? ;)

                        Yes, I was at the end of the bar.

                        I knew it was you because the landlady pointed you out and said that half-wit over there has just bought a copy of your book!![/quote]

                        I am pretty sure nobody referred to me as a Half-wit!! As that would be rude and uncalled for.. Was only enjoying a pint of Guiness minding my own business :whistle:

                        I think you may have misspelt ‘Handsome’ .. You wrote ‘half-wit’ ;)

                          Thanks fella, hope you enjoy it.

                          You should have come over for a chat. Standish and I saw you but were embroiled in an argument over whose round it was and by the time that was resolved you’d gone.

                            Have we ever had a succesful loan other than maybe cleverly?

                            Most would say Zaki when he was here.

                              Don’t believe all you hear, I think you’re being too presumptuous. You could be mistaking me for Arky. Concentrate on fact.

                              I’ve heard nothing. It’s just a very similar writing style, and I’m putting two and two together.

                              I wouldn’t confuse you for Arky unless you drink mild.[/quote]

                              I drink Mild! Along with many Real/Fine Ales.. No fizzy Lager :)

                                As we are still able to sign players who are unattached to a club, is there any out there we know of that could be of use to us?

                                Personally, I think we could maybe have brought in Steven Warnock from Villa, as he was available on a free. I think he would’ve been a decent addition to the squad. He’s gone to Leeds on a free.

                                As for out of contract players, I’ve scoured the PFA list and non actually jump out at me. Most are youngsters or lower league journey men.

                                Therefore we must look abroad. I wonder if Ricardo Quaresma is still available?

                                And suddenly Amr Zaki seems very appealing on a short-term deal.

                                Anybody any other names to throw into the hat?

                                What happened to Steven Warnock?! Sure he was meant to be promising at one point, I never remember him being a bad player.

                                Would have had a look at him for back-up if free. Why not ay? B)

                                  Finally someone on my wave length…………..the prem is not all it’s cracked up to be… over-hyped by sky and the national media. it’s all an illusion created by whoppers in suit’s who know very little about the game.

                                  as i said, 5 years and the bundesliga will be the top league in europe along with la liga…………….

                                  and let’s be honest, with all the stick we get off opposition fans (usually southerners) who have bought into this sky generated, false money greed league bollox….i for one can’t wait to see their sunbed tanned, x-factor style faces on SSN when the prem implodes!!!!!!!

                                  Not even fully read this thread but agree with what you say..

                                  The Prem isn’t the bst league in the world..

                                  If Man Utd win the league this season, with that squad, then it says a lot about the quality of the league. B)
