Re: Hangaland (sp) > Smalling (sp)
depends on what you mean by investment, if by it you mean can be immediately effective next year, then Hangeland would be a better buy, but if by the use of the word investment you are implying something long term, then Smalling is worth a 7million punt. Hangeland wilbe 29 by the time next season starts, Smalling 21.

Adam Johnson > Smalling and is a more accurate reflection of the choice we apparently had. Johnson is going to be a superstar, i'm not saying Smalling won't but I find the whole thing a bit odd. He isn't exactly young at 20 and has played a handful of games outside of non league football. Well weird.

Re: Hangaland (sp) > Smalling (sp)
I've only seen him play one game and that was against Chelsea (I think) he looked alright, quick and strong enough. Given his development to date I'm not expecting the finished article.
However, I'm more concerned about addressing other areas atm and would probably prefer the club to spend cash on players that play further forwards. Will soon see. Mind you, the last time Fergie bought a CB (and a LB) most folk were calling for his head baffled by the decision as other areas, it was thought, needed sorting first. Didn't turn out too badly. |

Re: Hangaland (sp) > Smalling (sp)
ever since smalling signed the press have been watching for any and all mistakes. 'manchester united's new signing today...'
goes with the territory now, better get used to it. anyway, it's not like he's going to be in the first team any time soon. a couple of games early next season then back to the reserves for an extended period, like most young new signings. |

Re: Hangaland (sp) > Smalling (sp)
anyone see any other decent english centre halves around for that money? even shawcross would cost us 20-25 million at the min.
i think its pretty obvious there is going to be a quota brought in on foreign players sooner rather than later. i think fergie is looking to b bring in good young english players and mould them now, leaving room for any foreign"flair" players in the future. you only have to look back to the start of the season and his insistence on playing foster. lets not forget either, that even if VDS hadn't gotten injured there was a very high possibility theat Foster was going to start the season as our No. 1. |
