    Dont think Zaha was ever given the chance. SAF bought him, but the word on the terraces were that he was dating Moyes daughter, and it led to a big fall out.
    No idea if its true, but if it is corect, he should be given a chance to prove himself

    Agreed here. He's still developing as a player and should be treated as such.

    Fellaini, Young, Bebe, Anderson, Nani, Fletcher and Cleverley. With the exception of Fellaini and the addition of Smalling and Hernandez that is a lot of squad members with whom you won the Premieship in 2012/13. What has happened to these players that most would struggle to get a game at a mid-table team like Newcastle or Aston Villa?? I'd take a hunch on Hernandez though. Sadly it seems as if Nani's best days are behind him at the ripe old age of 27!!!

    Surely buying players for their culinary qualities is a bit pointless now Suarez has left?

    I'd sell Young, Nani and Anderson.

    Cleverley can stay as a squad player - I think he'd do alright coming off the bench or in games when we are comfortable to be solid in the middle
    Don't see the point in selling Fletch - we'd get f** all and I'd like us to show him the loyalty SAF spoke about a couple of seasons back
    Valencia is another for the bench imo - he's lost a yard, but can still put in some good crosses and I think he'll do well if he comes on fresh against tired legs
    No point selling Bebe or Zaha - they are on peanuts, we wouldn't get much cash, and we might as well see if they can improve, tho' Bebe's probably past his chance now
    Fellaini may do alright this season if we play a 433 or formation where he can push forwards in midfield. Don't think he was used right last year, so may as well see if he can fit into LVG's team before cutting our losses. If he has Herrera and Vidal behind him then he could do some real damage, particularly without the drag from that 'fro slowing him down...

    Not really sure who you're talking about there <whistle>



























    It wouldn't be the guy who single-handedly set us on the road to number 5 is Istanbul, would it? Don't think Cleverley has ever done that either <laugh>

    Carrick's out for 10 weeks though.

    All things considered, we might as well keep ALL these ****ers <laugh>.

    They all have potential but have been desperately erratic, May be we could wait and see what they could do under LVG. Who knows? UIR could have been right all along. It had been Moyes fault these players had been **** ...<laugh>

    LvG will look at the team and access players then.

    Translated means no new signings (or maybe 2 low level players as back up)

    Bolded bit is simply not true.

    His cross completion rate is about 1%. For a player who attempts around 10 crosses a game this is extremely badf.

    Might as well get rid of Bebe. He is most likely never going to see the light of day in a Utd shirt. I didn't realise he is still at Utd.
    Anderson. Plays 2-4 games then is out for two months injured. Repeat.
    Young. Just because he is f**ing horrible.
    Not sure about Nani. He may have a decent season and find something that resembles form and consistency.
    I would keep Cleverley and Fletcher as squad players. I would like to see if Fletcher can regain his fitness and strength.
    Fellaini probably deserves another season to prove himself, or at least until Christmas.

    There's hoping that LVG has got the Midas touch. Everything (everyone) he touches turns into gold (world class player). <ok>
