Young & De Gea signed only one of the widely predicted signings still waiting. So will it be Modric or Sneijder? I still think Modric will end up at Old Trafford despite Chelsea's interest.

Young is a top player, if given the chance he could really shine at Old Trafford. Sadly I think there are too many who want to see him fail before he has even signed and therefore unless he hits the ground running, will find it very difficult to settle into the team. As for the comparisons with...

Have to say I think I have identified the perfect man to succeed Fabio Capello. Not only does this guy appear to have no tactical subtlety, but he also makes a a squad that looks very strong on paper look like a bunch of amateurs when playing. Throw in some pre match and post match clichés and...

Test cricket at its finest. As stated after the last game, England only win when the other team collapses. You can argue that England forced the collapse, but anyone who has played the game knows the difference between a team collapsing and a team being bowled out!

I'm not so sure about that, Arsenal's finances are not as glittering as they would have everyone believe and allowing Nasri's contract to run down would probably cost them at least £20m not only in fees lost but also paying his wages for another year. After all that they would then be powerless...

Well because of the competitions structure United were never in it. But also United were not a top team either. The debate is whether the old European cups were equivalent to the champions league. As a Liverpool fan I'm sure you will say they are, but in reality most would argue the Champions...

I wouldn't dismiss the 5 European cups that Liverpool have but the old competition is not comparable to the Champions league. Because the structure is so different the winner of the European Cup nowadays has to come past all the best clubs in Europe. For example this year to win the Cup Barca...

I'm pretty certain United will sign three players and possibly four. A keeper - De Gea, a central midfielder - Modric, an attacking midfielder - Young (poss Sneijder but not looking likely) and perhaps a young DM - Rodwell or Raphael Varane. It is all going to be about the midfield and a keeper.

That is Rafael, not because I can tell from the photo, simply because Fabio did not play in the Carling Cup final!

Except you are either ignoring the fact or simply don't know that Verane can play DM and Ashley Young can also play in the centre as well as on the wings.

Carrick gets slated by a lot of people for the simple reason that the average football fan does not have a deep understanding of football tactics. In this country the press are obsessed with goals and assists and thus fans follow, but in truth the most important man in any team is the guy that...

Ferguson is obviously happy with the work Owen is doing at the club, not just in terms of first team football but behind the scenes too. I can't see the harm of giving him a 1 year contract, he is on a pay as you play deal and it can't be all bad having Owen as back up. As for the talk of Biram...

Sorry but are you seriously suggesting Downing is a better player than Young? Ashley Young will definitely be leaving Villa and will almost certainly join United although if that falls through Liverpool will take him. Downing has an outside chance of getting a move to Man City or more likely...

World Class is a subjective term, but for me I would define a player as world class if he would walk into most teams in his preferred position unless there is another world class player already there. For me it is more to do with form than longevity. A player can be world class for a period of...

Who does? and why exactly?

Its known as the EPL everywhere except England this is to distinguish it from other Premier Leagues and because many broadcasters will not use the sponsors name in their titling. For the people posting the SPL is so called because the league is the Scottish Premier League, you are wrong. The...

Chelsea - Cole Man City - Yaya Toure Arsenal - RVP Tottenham - Modric Liverpool - Reina Everton - Fellaini Fulham - Hangeland Aston Villa - Ashley Young Sunderland - Gyan West Brom - Odemwingie Newcastle - Enrique Stoke - Pennant Bolton - Cahill Blackburn - Samba Wigan - Nzogbia Wolves - Jarvis...

I disagree, some notable exceptions to that rule: Casillas, Reina, Cech, Buffon. Many keepers take some time to learn their craft but some are just naturals. From all reports De Gea is just that, remember this guy went from reserve and youth team football to first choice without any hiccup.

12 + 15 = 9 +18 = 27 How exactly did you figure Nani was behind Drogba?

These figures are not accurate at all. I know for a fact that United's turnover for 2009/10 was just shy of £300m and the figures so far for 2010/11 show a year on year increase. It looks like they have been constructed from composite information. All you really need to know is United's Debt is...
