aderow Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Evra IS a weak link in our defence on current form. There are various reasons but the main one is he has been worked into the ground for five years without a break. I think thats the most important thing here. We need someone here who can take some of the weight off of Evra's shoulders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metal_guitarist Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Doron Solomon believes he's a forward but is unsure, have you seen him play to be sure? Think Yussif may have mentioned it on his twitter ages ago. I know I've seen midfielder somewhere, can't for the life of me remember where. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonahno6 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Anyone sat in the Tiers W3101/W3106/E336/E331? I'm getting a season ticket in W3101, it's right at the back of the stand, but the view does look fantastic, much better than the front row tiers as you can see the whole pitch. Just wondering if anyone had any experiences sat in those tiers as they're all pretty similar view wise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icondacarver Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I wouldn't go that far, if they didn't want him then I can imagine we are next in line. Ha!

Just wondering if anyone had any experiences sat in those tiers as they're all pretty similar view wise. I'm in W3104 which is pretty much bang centre of the upper tier. Only issue with sitting behind the goal is you cannot tell which way a deflection has gone when it's at the other end of the ground. Positives being United shoot towards west stand 99% of the time in the second half & you get to stand up for 90 minutes every game. You could probably get a ST in a better position than right at the back of the stand though, the demand is falling year on year. First year I had a ST I think it was 3 rows from the back. All those stairs got my fitness up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonahno6 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Can you get better seats in your first year applying though? Didn't seem like we had many other options in the Stretford End for 2 people, and we did apply on the first day they came on sale. (plus it's the 17 year old price, 50% off, so not sure if that had any sort of affect on seat positioning) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldberg Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 You failed to mention you had two seats together, obviously makes a difference. The fact you e got two seats together in the Stratford end says everything you need to know about the demand for season tickets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

x42bn6 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Reds' first-year intakeUnited have confirmed nine first-year Academy scholars ahead of next season, including James Wilson and Nicholas Ioannou. The 16-year-old duo performed admirably during last season's FA Youth Cup run and will look to make further progress under coach Paul McGuinness. Andreas Pereira appeared for the Under-18 side last term after arriving from PSV Eindhoven while Joshua Harrop and Ashley Fletcher also made fleeting appearances, with the latter even getting on the bench for the Reserves' Lancashire Senior Cup clash with Blackpool. Defenders Ben Barber and Ryan McConnell are also part of the intake, along with midfielders Callum Evans and Matthew Willock, while Kieran O'Hara will compete for a place between the sticks after signing as an Under-17 Academy student. http://www.manutd.com/en/Players-And-Staff/The-Academy/Academy-News/2012/Jul/2012-manchester-united-first-year-academy-intake-of-scholars.aspxA few familiar names there... Which makes it even more interesting that they weren't even first-year scholars last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheps. Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Saw a bit of Wilson for the U18's last term, he must have been back and forth between them and the academy. I quite liked the look of him as he seemed to have a lot of technical ability. I think Ashley Fletcher played in the Aegon Future Cup a couple of times, can't say he stood out much but then again he hardly got a chance to iirc. Looking forward to seeing Pereira and hopefully Januzaj too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaitsev Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 And with that news Everton fans get even more nervous about the future of Baines. The club must be confident. Armero is a name I have heard as a backup option but we also watched Siqueira from Granada a bit as well. Not that nervous, £20 million will go a long way.

Sheps. Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Well Juve announced the signings of Kwadwo Asamoah and Mauricio Isla today, Pogba would be mental to move there now with Vidal, Pirlo, Asamoah, Melo and Marchisio all way ahead of him, not that I still don't fully expect he will move mind.

metal_guitarist Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Seems strange that as it stands Petrucci, Pogba and Fryers are out of contract, as well as a few others and yet the club hasn't made any announcement about their future. Nor have clubs like Juve or Spurs that are the clubs that Pogba and Fryers are going to. Although they're out of contract, they're still at the club and will be until they sign elsewhere or decide to leave immediately. And Petrucci has signed a 3 year deal according to some reports.

Fergie said to MUTV today that he is working on one or two things but has nothing to say yet because negotiations are so long and difficult at this time of year etc.The thing with Moutinho is that even though he is more expensive now he is about 34% 3rd party owned and that money can be distributed to whoever they want ie it ends up back with people here. Things always seem shady when its to do with portuguese football it seems. another whisper regarding Axel Witsel, what do people think of him, could he do the business? Some of the people I talk to about football and know him seem to think that he's an aggressive one. Probably has to do with that leg breaking incident back when he was at standard (which I refuse to watch). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
