weastey..(vicente)

Yep, I've seen him play a couple of times - mainly plays down the left. He's got a lot of potential, fast, good dribbling skills, but he is even rawer than Joaquin - both are 21/22 I think.
Again though, he wouldn't be expensive. I can't believe United haven't sent scouts to look at both him and Joaquin, especially since rumours are flying about that he is not happy at Betis.

he's keeping Kily out of the team isn't he?
we need a left and right winger.....both he and Joaquin would be perfect.

He is, but Kily isn't Benitez's favourite, but still he is a very good little player.
I think that we should at least have a go at one of them. Both would be far cheaper than Duff. But could they adapt as quick as Duff? I think so, they are still young and not set in their ways. I think Joaquin will be off to Real though, as they need to start looking for a replacement for Figo.</strong><hr></blockquote>
i think they would adapt.. i think its playmakers who struggle, wingers don't have the same problems...
do you think bicente's better than duff?
and i've also heard that Joaquins off to Real, shame if true.
kinell, Real are also 5th in their league.

Better than Duff? Not yet no, but in the future he could be, but not as flexible as Duff either in that Duff can (not saying it's the best thing to do) play on both wings quite effectively and as a striker.
<img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> Real, yep, Saturday was the first game they won in 8 I think! Even that was only a naorrow 3-2 with Figo scoring on 90.

I really do hope that it is us.

I've seen a bit of Vicente and Joaquin. In fact I remember Weaste and I having a discussion on those two a while ago in the transfer forum. Joaquin is top-drawer. I'd prefer Duff over Vicente though.

to go along with this thread,
somehow i feel United would do much better with English bred type player.. someone like Joe Cole would fit nicely in the plan..
too bad the english teams charge heavily for their stars - even when they're unhappy... hmm, the price i guess we have to pay for being the big club.

Salgado. He's had regular stinkers when dealing with pacey wingers. Hey, it rhymes!
I think that Real's problem is that they have to many players that want the ball all the time. Figo, Zidane, Carlos, Ronaldo and Raul are all better with the ball than without. Sure, if it's a Champions League Final they won't care but I can see all of them getting not really caring if they don't get the ball as much as they would like. Esp. when playing mediocre teams away.
Was it really the manager that bought Ronaldo?
I don't see Ronaldo and Raul as ideal partners. Not by a long shot. Raul with a striker like Crespo, Shevchenko or van Nistelrooy would be amazing IMO. Ronaldo too would be better suited to play with some one like one of those.

i never thought Real had solid defence anyhow.. it's always been their attacking force rescuing them in Europe.. very stronghold in midfield.. but in the Spanish league they have been exposed for a couple of seasons in a row now.. pity.. with such stars in the team..
They're looking for a defensive midfielder aren't they? Obviously ZZ wants Vieira beside them, but I don't think he's going to get what he wants - and they'd be better off getting some decent defenders first.
plus glenn roeder is shit IMO.. had he been with someone like David Moyes then i think he would make it like Rooney is..
imagine rooney and cole in the same team with a good manager like moyes or McClaren.. i think they could be a real force.. all three of 'em at United. rooney can partner ruud.. will compliment ruud quite nicely IMO.

that's the impression i got too.. esp if moyes continues his good work.. he will leave a big impression on rooney.. perhaps rooney would be another rio?
