You can't win them all.
The 23 players assembled could turn into a great United team. Jones, Smalling, De Gea, Welbeck, Cleverley, Rafael and Fabio are young liabilities for one reason or another but could turn into world beaters. Players like Evans, Hernandez and Young need another season to truly get merged into this side but will eventually given time.
Giggs and Scholes don't need to retire. Gary Neville's retiring isn't what allowed other players to come through, he retired because he couldn't get games and was rubbish when he did. Scholes and Giggs can keep on doing what they do, being there when we need them, taking the weight off of our young players and letting them come through.
We do need to sort out the midfield, but the answer isn't by spending 30 million on a Modric in my opinion.
Lets look back at the mid 2000's. First Arsenal then Chelsea revolutionised what you needed to do to win the league. Chelsea in particular where incredible, breaking all records on the way to the title. That was what we had to catch up with, we where miles behind them then. Between 2004-6 we won no titles and came last in a Champions League group.
That simply isn't the case now. Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, none of those teams are massively better than us. None of those teams have revolutionised what you need to do to win the league. None of those teams have looked unbeatable. We simply aren't far behind anyway in our domestic league. To win the league next season we need to buy two young 15 million pound midfielders.
On the European scale, we are far further behind. Madrid and Barcelona are (or were) far ahead of us, despite their loss to Bayern and Chelsea. Don't be fooled, although it was an awful week for Barcelona in particular, they are still an incredible team. Which leads me onto my next question:
Who do we want to be? Do we want to be Ajax; bringing through young players but who may never challenge for a European title again? Or do we want to be Real Madrid, spending hundreds of millions on galacticos to challenge for every honour every year, sacking the manager whenever we fail in that task?
We are Manchester United, no-one else. We bring through young players but we also challenge for European and Domestic trophies. We bring through Giggs, Welbeck, Cleverley and Scholes but we also buy Cantona, Van Nistelrooy, Berbatov. We also spend a lot of money on potential players; Phil Jones, Ronaldo, Rooney.
We may have lost this league title and the manner of which may be heart breaking, but we lost it as Manchester United. We lost it in our weakest season whilst bringing through young players.
And if Manchester City can barely beat us when we're at our weakest, it won't be long until we are at out strongest!

Na najbolj pomembni tekmi sezone (ok, teh je kar nekaj) so zatajili vsi - tako igralci kot Fergie. In mislim, da predvsem slednji. Sicer nisem vreden tega, da bi karkoli govoril proti velikemu trenerskemu magu ter veliki legendi, a mislim, da bi moral precej odgovornosti za ta poraz prevzeti on. Na tisto oguljeno frazo o končani bitki in generalu se požvižgam. Takoj se je vedelo, da postavitev in določeni igralci ne bodo prinesli uspeha danes. Fergie bi moral zaupati nogometašem, ki jih je uporabljal na zadnjih tekmah. Pa zakaj je potrebno eksperimentirati in mešati postavo na takšni tekmi? Zakaj je moral igrati Park, ki letos prav zares ni na nivoju? Zakaj je igral Giggs celo tekmo, ko pa je bil popolnoma neuporaben in nekoristen, a bi moral on kot vezist dati nekaj več?
Haha carsko. Vedno vsi živčni kaj igramo le z dvemi v sredini(kljub temu da je ponavadi Rooney tretji vezist lol) potem pa SAF postavi čvrsto sredino, da bi ja parirali Cityu(ki ima sredino ki ne sede naši) in je spet kreten kaj to postavlja lol.
Sack Fergie Sell Giggs.

GoUp je napisal:Drgač pa Rasto ne vem, a je potem Nasri tolk briljiral, da je ob dobri igri Evraja le ta zgledala tako zanič? Tolikokrat kot se je včeraj narobe postavljal, narobe ocenil pot igralca ki ga je pokrival ...
