Gera, value staring us right in the face.
Yes and they will still be having the 'play well to impress new gaffer' syndrome too. We will be tested that day.
We'll probably drop points there tbh. Seems ages since we last got any points there (FA cup not included)
THAT ronaldo goal, was that the last time we won there?

Nope, we had a comfortable 3-0 win there 2 seasons back.
Hargreaves free kick, Scholes header, and an OG.
I cannot believe SAF saying he is happy enough with the squad, especially the midfield. We are so dependent on Scholes.
Hey. Who am I to question the great man.

Oh yes the 3-0.
The Rooney red card incident was 3 years back then? That 3-0 win was 3 years back if I'm not wrong. The 2007-08 season?

He believes in Gibson and Cleverly. In Cleverly's case I believe rightfully so. I also still think Gibson can come good.
Ah yes. Gibson can shoot.
Yep, since then we've got there three times - two league defeats and one FA Cup 4-0 win (just before we lost 0-2 in 2008/09, the Rooney and Scholes red cards game).
Last season we relied heavily on Rooney. If he had a bad season, we were screwed. If he had a good season we'd have a good season. This time round, with the purchase of Hernandez and the development of Nani, Valencia and Gibson, we should be less reliant on Rooney's goals. And instead, now its Scholes we're going to heavily rely on. If he's great this season we'lll have a great season. If he's inconsistant, we'll be inconsistant. And if he's really not even up to last season's standard, we could have a dissappointing season.
This season the one thing I want is for Giggs to be shifted centrally permanently.
That's the one thing you want from this season? Hopefully Fergie is setting his sights a little higher.
SAF himself admitted last year that he intended to play Giggs in the centre all season but then realised he's still more or less just as good playing on the left wing.
If he again shows he can still do it for us there, why move him? I think he's still as good as anyone we've got there...
I thought Giggs was quite poor on the wings after his stunning first few months, post injury.
Poor on the wing compared to the days of old (erm, young).
He's still a fine option there against teams that have no real intention of going on the attack.

Cocks out muppets!
Rather go with Nani and Valencia on the wings though. Great backup for the wings to have though and yeah I think he might be more central this season.
I don't even mind him not signing anyone but can he please stop using the incredibly annoying "value" term all the time!
Fergie was watching Ozil???
Cocks out indeed.
Cocks out indeed.
I am fairly certain it was either Ozil or Zamora.
To be fair what you quoted Chirag was the stuff he said Friday. Still - more likely that boss watching Fulham as we play them soon and we've had a bad time in the league there last couple times.
Frankly I thought that there would have been a lot of glee just spotting Ozil and SAF in the same city - that SAF was watching Ozil in a match - thought the world would explode.

My pants certainly did explode.
Fergie at The Cottage. Seems happy. Don't know if its before or after the match.
Interesting that he went there instead of going to United's open training day.
Yep - he's got his Ozil-scouting pink tie on. Ozil went back to training in a pink shirt the other day. It is most definitely on.
It was a subliminal message to Ozil,well spotted MJLD
How did Ozil played?

Before.
We are a professional football club and not a dump.
If we were interested in him we would watch him in regular competitive games and not in a pre-season game. From that game Fergie couldn't have learned something new about Özil.
People occassionally watch football games, it happens. SAF was already in London and maybe he had nothing else to do or got invited. If I had been there, I would have went to that game, too.

Who is to say he wont also watch him in a competative game? What harm does a pre-season game do, when his team werent playing a competative match that day?
I didn't say it did any harm. I just said that he's hardly going to "scout" a new transfer target in a pre season game.
Point me to his recent competitive games for Bremen that Fergie could have gone to. I'm sure we've also had scouts at their games keeping tabs on him.
German paper BILD have also picked up on this:
Manchester-Trainer Alex Ferguson: Werder-Star Mesut Özil in Fulham beobachtet - Sport - Werder Bremen - Fußball-Bundesliga - Bild.de

It's all a big Fergie prank. He knew you lot would get your cocks out at his sighting and he just thinks that's the funnest little thing.
Maybe Fergie was having look at Fulham. We play them soon.
We bid for him already in 2008, he's hardly unknown to Fergie and if we actually had wanted to scout him in 2010, we would have had enough opportunities in the 2009/10 season.
A pre-season game might not tell you much, but it'll tell you more than nothing. And if we watch him again in a competative match we'll know a bit more about him than if we watched him in just the one match. So it could easily have been a bit of extra scouting. But obviously its not going to be the meat of our scouting on him and the pre-season match alone isnt going to convince Sir Alex that we need to pay whatever it takes to sign him, if he didnt already feel that way.
