Berbatov has played better this season than tevez has ever done for united.

Messi was not available, seriously though How can you replace Ronaldo, you can't, a bit harsh to criticise fergie on this.

This.

Anybody who *still* thinks that Berbs is a "lazy waste of money" (or anything along those lines) is a clueless @#%&!.

Tevez I don't blame for leaving as Fergie £#%&!ed him about. Fergie was desperate to justify his 31 million buy and used to play him before Tevez and everyone knew who went to the game how good Tevez was but Fergie was desperate to show he hadn't wasted millions he started Berbatov.

Hargreaves has been injured for years - no replacement, we have needed a right back for years.

What are you on about, right back? We've got a right back sorted for the next 10 years in Rafael.

With Ronaldo, how do you replace the best player in the world?

And tevez wasn't £#%&!ed about, it's clear now that he was made a sensible offer, he's on 250k a week after tax and he's still not happy, I'm glad he left. We've got a better player in berbatov.

Or a Bertie

I'm still getting round the fact he thinks Hargreaves was signed as a replacement for Gary Neville

really silly to say you cannot replace ronaldo, we scored more goals last season without him and you can improve terams lots of ways are you saying had we bought sneijder and robben we would not have been a better team last season and kept tevez.

rooney carried us last season when he got injured we fell apart had we had tevez, sneijder and robben we probably would have been able to cope with rooney's loss.

Will be interesting to see how long this Barcelona team lasts then, as they've easily been the best in the world for the last two years.

Their big problem will be replacing Iniesta and Xavi, but I can see those two playing for years to come yet.

Then they've got first-team players like Messi, Pedro, Pique and Busquests who are probably a few years away from even reaching their peak.

I wouldn't want that unspeakably vile, cheating, uber-@#%&! Robben at our club in *any* circumstances

How much further down are you going to dig, mate??

No i'm not saying that, we only missed out on the league by one point after all, i'm saying ronaldo is a unique player who contributed a unbelievable amount to one of utd's greatest eras, so much so that there is very few players who could replicate that in todays game, adding players even accomplished ones like sneijder is not a direct replacement for what ronaldo gave us,

QUOTE=thatsfuctit;2285436]yeah - and Tony V had no impact last season.


He had a very good season and was effective and a good attacking outlet,
And we've missed him this season, a good signing tbh, but he's no ronaldo is he. it's like replacing george best with willie morgan.

Best and Ronaldo are / were obviously borderline irreplaceable, Tony was one of my players of the season last year, and played a big part in the season we got out of Rooney last year and his absence is probably one of the factors that he's not scoring as much this year.

Had that side been strengthened it could have dominated Europe and the prem for another 5 years.

@#%&!

the barca side is all about the messi-iniesta-xavi axis, which creates something unique. when that breaks up they'll still be a great side, obviously, but not the special side they are atm.

Xavi is the oldest but can probably play on for another four or five seasons. They've got a ready made replacement in Fabregas too.

Iniesta is only 26 as well, but apparently City want him. £200 million then.

It must be horrible to be a Madridista atm.

fabregas is no replancement for xavi. much closer to iniesta imo. xavi is like scholes, he's a one-off, they'll never replace him.

once that troika is split up barca won't be the same side. they'll be a great side as i said, but not the special side they are atm.

Ah right, so you just sell your best players and don't replace them because 'you can't replace them'?

I'm sure some on here actually work for United.

Piss poor excuses.

We could have replaced him with 2 very good players, maybe even 3. Instead we relied on Rooney all season and when he got injured our season blew up. I remember someone saying on here around the time Benzema was leaving Lyon that we can't get Benzema because he won't sit on the bench, it doesn't work like that, he'd have got plenty of games and when Rooney got injured at least we would have had more options.

Technically we did, Valencia and Obertan came in, fair enough we bought potential, but that's fergie's policy, he's looking at the future.

If we had bought these very good players, what does that say to the likes of Nani and Anderson? They go for a starters we don't see them. Lets not forget we wouldnt of bought hernandez etc..

let's all slag ferie again hey
