Kleberson impressed me when he played in midfield for United. Had a good range of passing with either foot. Feel he just wasn't given a fair run in the side.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

We should have sold Rooney when we really could have got the big cash for him
Awkward username.
Clubb Brugge. The team that stuffed Besiktas 5-2 over two legs in last years Europa league. A team you lot couldn't beat. If fact you lot couldnt beat a team from Bulgaria who nobody had heard of without diving to win a pen at Anfield. You could only draw away.
So maybe if you could actually beat teams like these you might be in the top division of European football.
That doesn't make those teams good. That just shows how shit Liverpool were/are.
And at the same time it shows that it's not really a 'glorified friendly' as much as you'd love to downplay and underrate those teams.
You'd agree you got possibly the easiest team you would have liked to have faced in the draw. Glorified friendly was just me over reacting last night (jeez, don't take everything literally
) but these European games do start coming thick and fast. I'm sure you'll do alright in the group stages. Just hope it takes it out of you as it did us.The fee was £19.2m rising to £22m according to transfermarkt and according to some reliable dutch journalists. Most english papers reported the £25m price with addons, only BBC reported £31m because they just changed euro into pound.

This is going to be a classic.
So if you were league deprived in the 1990's, what does that make your heap now?
I think people are expecting way too much from Pereira too soon. I don't think he's ready to be a big part of our Premier League squad... yet.
No one directly outside a few people at the club know what goes on behind the scenes in a potential or actual transfer.
Many on here comment, assign blame and responsibility to individuals based on perceived outcomes as it was they knew exactly what happened or was happening.
In reality it is nothing more than people making wild guesses and believing whatever media report or Twitter feed fits with their own preconceived opinions on the individuals.

I love when people discuss the details of payments in regards to transfers. How on earth would they know, probably a couple of people from each club know.
I think he's one of the most detestable men in football. And I really hope he never takes over at OT.
Ask Anders Frisk, a referee who had to retire because of death threats resulting from Mourinho's lies, if he's a "character that sparks up the game."
He's scum.

I am glad we did not sign Pedro (not the way we handled it obviously).
Id rather we are developing and nurturing our own youth and signed talent than buying players at their peak years, even if this means it'll take us more time to get back on top. I understand that, in order to grow, you sometimes need those players and you need experience but with just buying players like we are playing FM does not create any sort of love or bond with the club, on the contrary. Winning and losing together through the years, seeing players grow and develop, falling and getting up again maintains and creates the love we all have for the club. Not getting rid of all those who didnt reach their potential that season and replace them with absurd amounts of money and getting mercenaries. I hope we keep some of the old Manchester United spirit, instead of turning into one of dozen as the likes of Chelsea, City and Spurs.

We should drop Rooney completely. The way he's used the club in the past, questioning our ambition and the talent of our players and he now looks like the weak link in the side, we should go all out for a top striker now and put Rooney on the bench. A sign that we have ambition and a kick up the arse for him that he can't get what he wants.
Annoys me the reception he gets at OT. Tries to leave every few summers and then gets a massive reception when he stays. No doubt he's a cracking player or was (that remains to be seen) but he's not a United legend and will never be IMO.

Don't need new RW, Mata is good enough.
Don't need new CB, Blind is good enough.
Don't need new GK, Romero is good enough.

George Best treated the club worse but is a huge Utd legend.
You cant compare Rooney and Best in terms of quality, that probably gives Best the edge. Im not so sure if I'll call Rooney a legend at the end of his tenure, he's been a terrific player and will maybe even break our record, but he isnt really a legendary player imo. He's been at the very top of his position for too short time imo to be that, aside his conflicgs with the club.
This. Rooney's been excellent for us over the years but there's a debate as to whether he's one of the players of his generation, Best is one of the greatest ever.
Hugo Lloris is overrated so much that he is shown as twice the keeper e actually is. He is just a Romero with PL experience
Im not comparing them in terms of quality. I was making the point that treating the club badly doesnt mean a player cant become a legend.
I hate Mata on the right wing, it just makes us weak on that side, with Memphis on the left we need another player who will be able to cause problems for defenders.
Mata for what its worth brings that much needed creativity to the team but he can do a better job in the middle with 2 pacey wingers beside him, Januzaj can start cup matches and certain away games.

I think the same thing. There was a game against Blackburn where he was the best player on the pitch, but he was taken off at half time. I think he had a great shot from long distance in that game as well.
While he may be overrated to some extent, he's a very good keeper and he's far better than Romero. Ask any neutral fan which one they would rather have and the answer would be damning. Unpopular indeed.
He was definitely a talented player. He was impressive in the 2002 WC Final when he would have only been 22 or 23. I feel he was maybe too lightweight and obviously coming from Brazil, he needed time to settle. I think Gilberto moved to Arsenal at the same time and everyone thought we had got the better player. That didn't go too well. I'm not sure why Kleberson never built on his early promise and obvious potential. He always gets lumped into the same sentence as Djemba-Djemba, but was a far superior player.
LVG is too robotic, mechanical and rigid. Brendan and Arsene understand better than he does what creativity really is.
Who was the player Liverpol fans said was going to be better than that one trick pony Ronaldo?
Wasn't it Jermaine Pennant?
Who was it?
Anthony Le Tallec.
Pennant > Ronaldo

There is a thread on the Caf about it actually. https://www.redcafe.net/threads/interesting-read.30805/
Falcao would have done much better than Pub Rooney so far this season.
His loan should have been extended.
