About United
I browsed thru recent post I made in the blog and found out that I have ‘abondaned’ soccer news or MU to be precise. Well, it wasnt’t because I loose interest on them. I am interested in the mind game Fergie started - the waiting game. What’s with the waiting game? Whose playing a game?
The waiting game I referred to was the way MU react on the players market. MU has been passive towards buying new players for the new season. Unlike Wenger and of course Mourinho whose club splashed millions just before the world cup to nabbed WC superstar. And MU just sit there and waiting. The fans has been anxious. Who doesn’t?
I myself was curious with Fergie’s plan at first but after a while I understood why he’s doing it. You know, everytime MU acquires a player, Chel$ki will come on its way. Forget abt Liv or Arse. Not that they are not interested in MU’s signings, it’s just that they have more respects towards their opponent. Chel$ki? Obi Mikel saga was an example how money can turn things around.
Nowadays, people said that MU has passed its glory. And Chel$ki was a club everybody wants to go. Well, that’s what people says. Eric Cantona crossed that out in an interview in MU’s official magazine. He insisted Chel$ki will never be bigger as MU. Which I second!
Somehow, I get excited when MU was being linked with players like Torres who decided to stay for another year @ Spain, Riquelme, Pirlo and Gattuso. Why only these four players? Why not others like Mascherone, Defoe, or Carrick whose gonna be MU player soon after both MU and Spurs agreed on a fee?
Torres is fast. And I believe it will be a wind of change for MU strike force. We no longer have Ruud who need services in the penalty box. Torres can run riot with his pace. Too bad he’s not coming. Riquelme? My shud I elaborate his mastery passing skills? Pirlo? Did you see how he worked his way to winning the World Cup? Gattuso? He broke Giggsy’s nose during their CL clashes 2 years ago. That’s how competitive he is which I believe cud bring dimension to MU team.
Mascherone? I know nuts abt this guy. Seriously! But he might turn out to be valuable. Remember no one knows abt Gabi when he first came, but he deservely work his way thru to the team and won the fans heart. Macherone has been the subject of the top 4 clubs. Still no official news abt him coming to MU.
Defoe replacing Ruud? Personally, I like him. He’s small but he got pace. Somehow I think Fergie shud go for taller striker. Except for Saha, the rest is kind of in smaller mould at the moment. Carrick? Hmmm… I seriously dunno whether this is a value buy or not. I hope he is not the Fletcher type player. I hope I am wrong! I have not given much attention on him while he’s playing for Spurs.
The worst rumours I read was abt Celtic lining up Giggsy as their target. Which upset me
I hope this is NOT true. Whatever it is, hoping for the best to the coming season. Who knows, MU cud get their hands to the EPL cup and outsmart Chel$ki. Fingers cross. Come on MU!
