Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Lordy lord, we got our moneys worth tonight. Norwich didn't even play that badly, that's how good Suarez was tonight.

And despite that still loads of whoppers in the kop texting and waving ipads around instead of watching the game!

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Bale - Suarez - Ronaldo

Thats too much quality. I'm not sure how Real Madrid will fund it but I'm sure Perez will find a way.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Forgetting obertan. Anyway no discredit to Swansea but Howard Webb had a shocker last night. Swansea won in the end but I couldn't believe some of the key decisions that were denied. Refereeing has been shocking so far this season for multiple teams. West brom at Chelsea and so on. Shelvey is somehow on the pitch after a butting heads with debuchy.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Moyes will go down in history as the man who succeeded where Wenger, Mourinho, Dagleish, Keegan etc all failed - destroy United.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

And who would you have to replace him?.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I would give him some time. He deserves at least a season. You can't expect to dominate indefinitely and it's not easy to succeed one of the greatest managers of all time who was there for over 25 years. Especially not when the team you inherited has lacked investment and is short in several areas..

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

So why buy him in the first place as he hardly gave him any chances in the first team.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I don't want him. Plus Wenger said its not a good idea to have Giroud and Benzema at the same club. I'd rather take Morata off them which is possible if they go for Suarez.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I think a bad problem with AVB, he is not strong enough with the squad. Spurs have got to be more tougher with the team he selects.

Soldado, l think has had enough time as a proven striker to show his worth at Spurs, he hasn't, his goal tally is poor. So far all the goals have been scored from midfielders.
Soldado should go in the January sales, we need to bring in a striker that is proven to start from the word go. Spurs don't have a reserve squad - they call them something else. Most of the 'reserves' side go out on loan.

Any Spurs fansd on here can probably correct me on that one.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

What like Tommy Doc did, what melodramatic claptrap

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I thought the issue was two-fold.

Soldado not scoring, not so much a bad player, but his reluctance to be in the box and for others to ensure he gets enough crosses .

And the lack of depth, defoe not in favour with AVB, adebayor just being a waste of space.

I was at the game today, just as on Wednesday a very insipid performance all round. You can carry one or two bad performances but it would be hard to pick out a single player who performed today, Hernadez probably did as much as anyone, he ran his socks off to no avail.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

There is one big difference and that is Moyes is clueless wherever Sir Alex was a giant in every way on and off the pitch.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

SAF was a legend but as I've clearly pointed out it took time for him to develop his team. United since 2003 have had a net spend of just £15 million less than Chelsea , Man City and Liverpool and whilst Ferguson did a tremendous job getting the most out of them and capturing the league titles I now feel the lack of real talent is clearly starting to show especially in midfield.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

And signing decent midfield talent now is going to be very hard as one Moyes is not a draw for the best players in the world and two the competition out there for the best players is fierce to say the least.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Who knows what will happen but I'm happy to give the guy time , the Glazers need to get behind him and give him a sizeable transfer kitty , the current squad has a few ageing players and those who simply aren't good enough.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

You're all being too harsh on Moyes. He really gave Newcastle a game, it wasn't easy for them today.

Let me remind you the ambitious task he set himself and his team yesterday: https://twitter.com/ManUtd/status/408959099980640256

That's the kind of ambition only Moyes can bring to the Red Devils and, to be fair, they did make it difficult and were only one goal away from getting that draw!

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

To be fair they played a revived Newcastle similar to that of 2 seasons ago when we were flying. It's evident it wasn't a fluke and we're cleary capable of playing with and beating anything thrown in front of us. For once Alan Pardew's tactics worked and trumped United. United's midfield was no match for Newcastle.... Can't believe this can actually be said??

Cabaye, Sissoko and Tiote are far superior than anything Man United had in midfield today.

Lastly, I'm tired of people claiming it's because the team is threadbare and defending Moyes, he had the chance to spend and a he blew his load all over a 6ft Cannabis plant, not the wisest way to blow £27.5 million.

---------- Post added at 21:18 ---------- Previous post was at 21:16 ----------

No. They really didn't make it difficult. Newcastle didn't win for the first time in 40+ years because of what I said above, they won because Man United were absolute crap. Man United should be expecting to win, not ranting about making it hard?

I'm seriously incredulous at all the people supporting Moyes. Nobody would expect the man following the greatest manager ever to hit the ground running but neither would you expect him to hit the ground and keep going through the floor.

He may have had a modicum of 'success' at Everton but who the hell is David Moyes? Completely untested and inexperienced at the level he is now at.

My best Christmas present this year will be him being given his P45.
