Sneijder should probably have been brought in at the same time as Carrick, but of course by the following summer the swoop for Anderson and Nani was on and we'd also had to wait a year for Hargreaves.
the incredible creativity we've lost with Ronaldo leaves a hole that no central midfielder is likely to be able to fill. even though Carrick has been goal shy since day 1 at United (despite showing what a superb finisher he can be now and again) and I have drawn the wrath of Carrick on here for mentioning it, there is also a bit of a myth around this lack of goals from our central midfield. we have rarely if ever had better overall goal returns than we've had over the past 3 seasons. so even though the central mids (Harg, Scholes, Carrick, Fletcher, Gibson, Anderson) have only managed 31 goals between them in the league and CL in that time the team's goal output has remained pretty constant. the reason for that is obviously Ronaldo and his phenomenal creativity - everyone was happy to give him the ball. basically the figures are misleadingly bad imo for the central midfield largely because we were geared towards exploiting the goal potential from elsewhere in the side. now that Ronaldo has gone the team dynamic will alter and the goals will be more spread out. fwiw the point about our wide men seems a bit off to me. Valencia and Nani in particular are happy to be played in down the centre drifting in off the flanks. and we have plenty of evidence that Nani can be lethal from out to in with that shot of his. and when he gets it right it goes in quite often as well. agree about that horrible @#%&! Cole though, could do worse. |

last season our most creative players were giggs berbatov rooney carrick as i said, for me ronaldo has become much more effective as a weapon but less creative for the team in the last two seasons. that's in no way a criticism of the lad, btw, but a result of the way fergie chose to use him. with a couple of out and out strikers at real i'd imagine he will play a bit deeper there and be less of a goalscorer and more of a creative influence next year. |

Moutinho is £#%&!ing tiny, whenever he has played against us he has struggled to get into the game, he struggled to impose himself at the U21 tournament a few years ago as well. Just a bit too small and light for us. De Rossi, seems a good player, looked good and bad fairly evenly in the games I've seen, but the fact of the matter is he won't be leaving Roma. Ever. Anything else out there. We don't want to be signing players just for the sake of it. |
