Absolute car crash of a post mate. You don’t win premier league titles and champions leagues by having a “bang average” player at the fulcrum of your team. Shocking post.
Entitled to your opinion, I find the hype for Carrick embarrassing TBH he could not have been more bang average if he tried.
Are you on the wum? Carrick was “meh at best”? Absolute bollocks.2 Things....
1st adding to what you are saying, these stats were achieved playing for a dominant Ajax in a relatively weak league (strength in depth) and Barcelona a dominant team in a relatively weak league (strength in depth).....
2nd thing Carrick should not be used as an example of a midfielder to aspire to.... he was bang average and way over hyped on here, the guy was on his way out of the club his performances were so poor until we had a defensive crisis and he had to step in as a CB, admittedly after that reprieve his performances stabilised but still he was, meh at best, he was just slightly better than other bang average midefielders we had at the time, he was fortunate to play in front of a great defence otherwise he would have been exposed more, the worst sideways and backpass merchant I have ever seen play for us, and gave numerous goals away passing to attackers outside our own box,

Just 342 pages. Newbie thread obliterated it with 664 pages.
You'd need some fecking solid intel to start that shite.True,
Definitely more chance of a miss than a hit.
I’ve never know a transfer saga where basically the exact same news is reported daily as if it’s completely new information.
He played more than anyone for Fergie from his arrival up until Fergie’s retirement. He was our main central midfielder in the clubs best ever period from 06-09. He was brilliant.Entitled to your opinion, I find the hype for Carrick embarrassing TBH he could not have been more bang average if he tried.
That's a wasp.That's a beetle, not a spider.
Stop calling it a spider.

So he needs to physically be there saying to Laporta ‘don’t forget my money, don’t forget my money’ everyday in order to get paid?
It is a matter of contract, and to me, has no bearing on whether or not he continues to play for Barcelona next season or not. The notion that he wants to leave, but will stay if he can’t sort out his deferred wages sounds odd.
With all the content available online, would you be able to contextualise your view on Carrick with some evidence?2 Things....

So he is putting pressure on both clubs now to compensate him.
Read the whole post. My point still stands in addressing the nonsense you posted.Do you struggle to read beyond one paragraph?
Because I watched every game he played near enough, I have seen much better midfielders for UTD and most other teams that don't receive anywhere near the plaudits that Carrick receives, it's just an opinion, you are part of the Carrick love in great for you, for me I was glad when he retired.It shows someone's level and knowledge of football (lack of) if they don't rate Michael Carrick.
Instrumental to so many titles, beyond me how people can think he was just your average PL midfielder.

This makes sense. The last bit is also what I think happened. We have told Barca to get their shit sorted or we move on to other targets.From another forum for what it's worth...

No one raved about him because he was surrounded by world class players in every position.I don't think he was bang average but I do think that people overrate Carrick massively. Probably in light of the utter mess that has been our midfield over the past few years. He was a good players but few people raved about him when he was actually playing for us. Get better with the telling.
He was a good midfielder not a great one. We have just had to suffer through rubbish for far too long.
He was basically a one man midfield at times once Fletcher was gone and we still won the league with him starting. Anyone who thinks Carrick is one of the most overrated midfielder needs their eyes and brains checked. He’s miles ahead of the likes of Pogba who’s supposedly world class.Good players in great sides often become overrated, because people want to appear intelligent by talking about how underrated they are. Football analysis died the day people started saying things like “Jorginho is the system.”
Believable up until they managed to get a flight back without a cancellation, especially with EasyJet
This video does a good job of illustrating why he was excellent and underrated.

The deferred wages were not simply planned to be paid to him at a later time, it was included in a new 4 year contract and spread over the contract's period, so if he leaves and signs another contract with another club, he loses out on his deferred wages, hence why De Jong says he will stay and not accept wage reduction, Barcelona has the choice to pay De Jong the deferred wages now, so he can accept a transfer.
Well of course Xavi likes him and doesn’t want to sell him. Managers rarely want their best players to leave, and I’m sure he’d get plenty of game time if he was to stay, the issue is though, Barcelona can’t afford to keep him and that’s not something that Xavi has a say in at all.What do we think will happen next?
All the while De Jong feels he has Xavi's support and will play regularly under Xavi, I feel like he's still going to be minded to stay. I think the Barca board might have to lean on Xavi to tell De Jong he isn't part of his plans.
I think the deferred wages issue will be sorted. Barcelona could use some of the transfer fee to pay off some.
No way the Sniejder one was less than all them?Top 5 transfer threads
