Re: play for united (well be on the bench) or play for a mid table team week in, week out on abit mo
I'd probably play for United for free, it's a unique privelige.
What is it Steve Bruce said, "He'd crawl over broken glass to get to Old Trafford". I bet Scholes, Giggs, Nev etc have probably never been the top earners at the club, and have probably had offers at other clubs on higher wages, but they "get it". It's rare in today's football, Maldini being another example, of Our current squad, if he is good enough I reckon Welbeck will be a lifer, and I have a feeling that the twins may well be around for the long term. |

I remember Paul Parker telling how when Fergie showed him round Old Trafford, on a non-match day, there were people in the stands 'just sat there watching...it could've been tuppence a week and I'd have come here'.

was speaking to my friend who is 'practically' joint at the hip to a younger player on our books and was told this.
'why be behind all these players at united, not getting a game when you can play week in, week out at a alright-ish team and get more money, most of these players arent that gassed* on if they play for a big club when 19-25. its about playing and getting a good contract...' * Quote:
disclaimer - im not lying or making this up. but its a good talking point i think. for example would you rather be 'bannan' after his next deal (villa will give him a new deal soon and he'll be playing week in week out) or be darron gibson (lets imagine he isnt as shite as we exagerate and just a similar ability player but at a BIG club)... makes sense imo. ok another example. would you rather your 19 year old son be at birmingham playing everyweek or in united squad? |

Don't really get the point of this thread. To me it looks like Marlo is just trying to brand every young footballer as 'they don't really care of have ambition they just want to play every week in a team they comfortably get into and earn loads of money' like the footballers who his mates know, but the looks of it. The idiot young footballers think like that, the ones who want to make a proper name in the game would give it a go at a big club. Yes you may not make it at a big club but if you have amibiton you'd give it a good go and leave with no regrets about 'what if'. The Bannan example doesn't make sense, he has gone through Villa's youth ranks hasn't he? He's broke into the team and will probably be playing for one of the top teams in 18 months time. |

he could be at united and be behind rooney, berbs, hernandez and owen and get the odd game or play for blackburn and get 25 league appearances a season and a domestic cup run if that son was your nephew where you advise him to go? |

If it's not working out then yes, leave and play regular football. There's a difference between having ambition and giving it a proper go and settling for playing for a smaller club, getting games regular and earning a nice wage. |

im putting forward a point which is relates to a young player at our club. i was always a firm believer is 'playing for a big club' and the clout that comes with it but now seeing it slightly different. |
