Bid for Ashley Young?

Young on his day was a good player for Villa, in fairness, albeit very inconsistent.

Even though the fee was ludicrous I can understand why Fergie would sign him as he was one of the better premier league players and probably thought that if he could get him to consistently apply himself we'd have a good player on our hands.

Sadly that's not happened and he's gone backwards since we signed him - started off pretty well, then got injured and has been crap.

Januzaj could reach that level I reckon. Has immense potential.

Agree with the rest of that. The problem we have is that unless we get really top players it's going to be very hard for Moyes to get us back to the top because I don't think he's got the ability to compete against the teams with better squads and doesn't appear to have a good system in place that could cater for that.

We'll have to wait and see I guess.

Tbf, I thought at the time that Young would be a good signing.

He has an immense cross on him (although I think he just lumps it in without looking most of the time), the whip he gets on it is very dangerous. Given your style of play (reliant on crossing) I thought he'd be a good weapon. But it hasn't worked out for him.

If Moyes gets a top 4 place, he's done extremely well imo. But he needs to use the rewards of that CL place wisely aswell, that will be the only way to get back on the road to being an elite club. If you waste cash on crap like Fellaini again, he needs to go.

Young's crossing is shiiite mate. Not as bad as Valencia's, though.

Yeah I agree with that. Fellaini was such a waste of money. I'd have rather we spent that on Baines instead.

The club will need to change their transfer policy if we want to sign top players.

It's a shame David Gill went at the same time as Fergie. I don't think the summer would have gone nearly as bad if he was still there.

There were posters on your board saying Valencia was better than Ribery once Major crash down to earth.

The most worrying thing for you now is that United don't really have a style of play. That Fellaini deal really looks like an idiotic, desperate decision by your club, Moyes doesn't seem to know how to use him.

You should be ok if he gets a few players of his own in, and develops his own style. But again, that's down to how he manages the current squad.

A lot to be concerned about at Old Trafford actually Never really thought about all your problems till now.

Yeah I think that was Hippo. Quite funny really as now all he does is bum Bayern (even though he claims to hate them) and slate United because we aren't as good as we used to be.

Valencia was a very good winger. But he's experienced a Torres like transformation. Needs to be sold, in my opinion.

We've not had a good style of play for years. Fergie could just get results. We then decide to bring in a manager that isn't famed for his style of play nor getting results. Very odd appointment.

Interesting times ahead. It'll also tell us a lot about our owners.
