It is very debatable, but say we forget the cows in the other field and just look at our cow...do you think he's potentially one of the best cows in the field-world? I dunno, I've just never seen it. He's always been lacking that key ingredient.



See that piss take may have just flew over my head, I thought they were being entirely serious! There's enough people who hate Nani and his evil head for it to be semi-serious at the least...

Slightly avoiding the crux of the matter here but i have to ask, whats wrong with Nanis head?

I wonder how the negotiations are going on with Udinese/Sanchez so far.

I hear the latest is that we have offered his dad the groundsman job at OT, and his mum a cleaning job in one of the many kitchens.

That should swing it in our favour.
 
Anyone hearing the rumour that Young and Ridgewell are gay lovers?

Im ok with that

EDIT: Woops wrong thread.

Nani's agent Nani could not be reached, but his assistant Nani was able to shine some Nani on the subject of where's Nani's agent Nani is to see if a deal can be pushed through..

...fortunately the agent Nani - of Nani's agents assistant turned up, but has insisted that any deal for Nani would have include Nani going the other way & first option on Nani aswell!

If our representatives really are in Barcelona holding talks with Sanchez's guys, then why would anyone believe that we wouldn't sign him. Logic suggests that we know he's gonna cost £30m+, so why would we be there in negotiations if we were not prepared to make a signing? That's if we're there; where does this information come from?

Some Italian sites are claiming that in that meeting at Barcelona, United representatives met with Udinese's officials - so most probably it's the Italian Club trying to get more money from City.

The Spanish Press on the other hand is claiming that Sanchez had agreed personal terms with Barcelona but they are not willing to pay what Udinese are asking. Now it seems that Real Madrid are also interested...

I must admit that Udinese are conducting the auction in a perfect manner.

Of course they are. I knew something was missing from the Sanchez saga.

As a side note about Real Madrid, the manager before Mourinho was Chilean, I believe (or maybe the one before the one before Jose), so I wonder if Sanchez might have some bad feelings toward them if he feels they didn't treat his countryman right?
 
It's pretty obvious that the player doesn't want to go City but Udinese are using City's offer to try and drive the price higher.

Hi Ciderman

wonder if you could post this in the sanchez thread. people dont seem to understand how it would work buy young and sanchez :

heres my reason for why we would be looking at getting young and sanchez. Our best season for attacking flow was with rooney, ronaldo and tevez. Each player was able to move to where they were needed or wanted to be and then the others would roate around to fill the space. It was devastating and extremely hard to defend against.

Since loosing ronaldo one of our issues has been that we have lost that. our general tactics are get the ball into the strikers and hope they do something, or cross the ball or have a winger cut in. we dont really attack from central midfield anymore.

our midfield like to sit back and pass rather than pushing forward. The best we played against barca was when rooney was coming back from a forward position and giving us an attacking midfielder rather than deep lying forward. this left hernandez stranded and ultimately any attack we tried to create fell apart.

with the addition of sanchez and young we add a lot more than 2 wingers, we add another 2 attacking midfielders / wide forwards / free role players.

Below are a mix and match of formationswe can play



4-3-3

Rooney - Hernandez - Sanchez
Giggs/Park - Carrick- Fletcher

- Rooney and sanchez can rotate creating a different type of play style on the wings, they can also both drop in behind hernandez allowing for a 3-1-2 setup givingmore strength in midfield and also confusing the defenders.

eg,

Hernandez - Sanchez
Rooney
Giggs/Park - Carrick- Fletcher



4-1-3-2 / 4-1-4-1

Hernandez
Rooney
Nani - Young - Sanchez
Carrick/Fletcher

- Rooney is able to drop deep to collect the ball allowing and 3 of the midfielers/wingers move into his position, and then any of them can move around. you end up with 3/4 players all able to swap positions. This is a pure nightmare for dependers and midfielders. You will not be abl to man-mark, you will have to go zonal, but with the versitiliy of the players the formation can change so much that wont work either.



4-4-2

Rooney - Hernandez
Park - carrick - Fletcher - Valencia

- i havent included nani/young/sanchez in this line up to show that park and valencia are still very useful. This is one of our most defensively strong midfields with park and valencia happy to track back and defend. but any of nani, young and sanchez can replace park or valencia.

So have we sign him yet?

I also seem to remember we invited a bunch of Chilean miners to OT a couple of years ago. Is this a hint back then?
 
He's not wrong per se in how it could work, but whether Fergie will choose to wave goodbye to 4-4-2/4-4-1 for the bulk of games is doubtful.
