There has been a lot of talk on midfielders in the comments section, I realise Penguin did a post on this topic, however, his was more centred on individuals whereas I will be looking at partnerships as well. And there is a big decision to be made by SAF on who to play in the centre of the park on Tuesday when we host Lyon in the second leg of the tie.

Well it’s that time of the year again. And with January comes the transfer market where a lot of big talking goes along but not much actually happens! Anyway, I noticed a lot of talk going on in the past few posts so I decided to make one on that subject. I shall cover all the positions and any places we are weak and also any possible buys, so lets get on with it.

Well I’m going to start by admitting that like most fans on this site I was extremely disappointed that we drew against Lyon as we could have had a much easier ride to the last eight. But I am delighted with the teams Arsenal and Liverpool got, which were Milan and Inter respectively.
However, when you look at the teams they could have faced, Barca, A.C, Inter, Real or Sevilla ( just Liverpool ) and Porto ( just Arsenal ) they always had a massive chance of getting a tough tie. Celtic vs. Barca is also a good tie.
Onto our own tie though, we could have had an easier team I still believe we will go through as Lyon are not the side they were a few years ago. And to be honest, the French League isn’t that great, so winning it six times in a row isn’t that much of a great achievement.

The international break could not have come at a better time for Manchester United. The match against Sunderland was the last match that Cristiano Ronaldo was suspended for, and, with the matches in mid-week, and another on the weekend it should give him that tiny bit of match fitness he is lacking. That will be the same with Super Saha (a month ago it was injury-prone Saha) who, providing he does actually play for France, will get some extra match fitness. And now, Chelsea’s 5 point lead which was near to being a large enough lead for them to win the Premiership has already been cut down to a not-so-large 2 points, thanks to Martin O’Neill’s Villa. They will have to think about that defeat for a whole 2 weeks, whereas we have finally got some momentum going.

(Ed: I was about to do a round-up for the week, because, admittedly, quite a bit happened that got drowned in ‘bigger news’ items. But Ollie had already done the job – thanks mate. So I got the easy way out and did some editing and addition of some extra bits of news that got left out. So read on, if you’ve been sleeping all week.)
The week started exceptionally bad for United supporters, with a derby day loss, leaving us with only 2 points from our first 3 matches. And I won’t even mention the injury to Rooney and suspension of Ronaldo. Ronaldo has also said that he feels the three match ban he received for his sending off, as ‘unjust’. Admittedly our Premiership title defence hasn’t started as we would have liked. But perhaps one positive to take out of the match with Citeh was the great debut of Owen Hargreaves.

As most of you will know while one Argentinean has recently entered Old Trafford another seems very likely to be leaving soon. A decision will be made on the future of ‘Fans Favourite of the 05/06 season’ Gabby Heinze later today, though his court case hearing was yesterday. He presented his case to a 3-man team with both Sir Alex and Carlos present.
After all we have done for him, stood by him during his injury, the greedy git wants a move to Loserpool! If he gets his way we will be forced into accepting an offer from Liverpool.
I think fans opinions are mixed with some saying we should sell him to Liverpool and some totally against the decision, I personally wouldn’t mind the move IF we don’t get another offer for him but Sir Alex doesn’t seem to keen.
So what do you guys think now that D-day is here, and also feel free to post your opinions on the decision which will come later on today.

Manchester United were, during the summer, said to be a team with endless attacking options. However an injury to our best striker Wayne Rooney (expected to keep him out of action for at least two months) and also our best player of late, Ronaldo, receiving a 3 match suspension for an attempted head butt has left our attacking options looking a bit slim. It has also been brought to my attention that Ryan Giggs has not been performing to his best and there have been calls by many supporters to drop him, though I doubt 2 poor performances will prompt SAF to not play him against City. Also Scholes hasn’t been himself either lately. Oh, and where are Owen Hargreaves and Anderson??? I mean honestly, they have been included in both squads that played against Reading and Portsmouth but neither even made the bench!!!

Quite recently I’ve been seeing (not just on this site) a few United players being – how can I put it? – verbally abused (okay, maybe not to that extent!) but I thought I’d just put them all together, give u guys some info on them and possibly why they have been ’picked on’ and the case, in my opinion, for or against them – and also a place where u can either ‘big up’ or ‘put down’ a player u either like or dislike.
So let’s get on with it.
