righto, can anyonelse compare them??
Pique - Clone of Alessandro Nesta

Martin - Ronaldinho's style and finesse, mixed with Keane's tenacity........Actually now I think about it, he's probably slightly better than Platini ever was, and at 17/18 that's decent.

That's what you wanted to hear isn't it? ;)

Mikael Silvestre does not make new French coach Raymond Domenech's squad to take on Bosnia-Herzegovina.

:eek: Why? is it a full strength squad?

Quinton Fortune, meanwhile, ends a two-year exile from international football in Tunisia. United manager Sir Alex Ferguson reportedly wasn't keen on releasing Fortune for South Africa's friendly in Tunis on Wednesday.

But coach Stuart Baxter has used the fact that Wednesday is an offical date designated by Fifa for international friendlies to demand that Fortune play. Quinton plays for his country for the first time in two years following a dispute with former coach Ephraim Mashaba.

:lol: We shouldn't be suprised that Quinton is injured then

In the middle of the park, Fletch is a brilliant player. You know very little about the game if you've watched him play and are writing him off. To mention him in the same breath as Forlan isnt even worth replying too.

the thing is, Fletcher never plays in the middle, he always seems to play on the right and does very poorly

also his touch on the ball is very poor, and his passing isnt very good, ive seen him enough to write him off, he fecks up alot of chances and i dont think he is Man Utd Quality

Same situation as Chadwick, played a few games for us, Fergy tried his hardest for him to improve but couldnt cut it, Fletcher will soon head the same way as Chadwick in 2-3 years time
 
I've always thought that Fletcher looked a real prospect in the centre.....Seems like a lot of you lot don't rate him though.

I think he's great, despite what some people say- he has great passing, great vision and is comfortable on the ball.
 
did you guys get to see rossi's great pace tonight? i remember when he signed there was a lot of hype about his pace.

If you haven't seen him in the middle, you haven't seen him. Also, you can't have seen many United games in the second half of last season.

If you think his touch and passing are poor, you don't know much about football.

Sorry... but I have to agree with that.

Listen to him RedDevil, I've had this discussion before with him. He knows everything :D

He also said I didn't know much about football.

Flecther is rubbish, my main problem with him is his passing (gives away too much) and the speed in which it takes him to get the ball under control, be it on the right or centre of midfield.

But then again I know nothing :boring:

I agree with you. You do know nothing.
 
When Fletch is played in the middle he looks a completely different player. I can definately see a huge improvement in him from this time last season. Long term he is our new box to box player, he's got all the attributes and is physically filling out all the time. He just needs to work on keeping the ball simple rather than losing concentration sometimes and giving the ball away. But since he is only 20 i think we can forgive him that. Lets not forget that if it werent for injuries and other things he would have been playing first team footy from the age of 16!

Rossi certainly sounds the biz, hopefully with Kenny Cooper and Eddie Johnson packed off on season long loans, Rossi will be fast tracked through the reserves

Eagles impressed me, very good goal irrespective of the opposition, he showed great skill and it was a fantastic finish after a nice 1-2 with Rossi, who looked very composed on the ball. I only managed to watch the 2nd half, but it was a great game to watch, Djordic looked quite good, got a bloody good shot on him. Bellion failed to impress me. Richardson was 50/50, didn't look good at taking men on. David Jones looks a very good player, very good on the ball and has great vision. Spector is a star of the future. 2nd half MOTM I'd go for Eagles, who looked the part.



Perhaps you should watch match again
richardson took players on all game sending over many good crosses and even looked did ok for last 15 min at LB, I know Bellion is not a favourite but last night he showed the difference between the PL and The rest being head and shoulders above any of the Burnley lads produced a great return pass for Phils goal, when he ran at them he looked good and I do not remember more than a couple of misplaced passes during his 65 mins.All the youngsters look good players but then they will be otherwise they would not be at the club.

Richardson did nothing wrong at all and didn't play too bad, but I can't remember off the top of my head him putting in any decent crosses, but as you said he played LB for a while. I'm sure I'll see the replay on MUTV some time this week though, so I'll take a closer look.
Bellion may have shown some good touches, but on the whole, I still was not impressed with him at all, and that's not just because I think he's crap in the league, I generally thought he was average. Run's past one, past two, refuses to pass, gets tackled, falls over. One on one with the Gk, hits shot wide etc. As I said, I didn't catch the first half, did Kieron play the first half?

he did and thinking on it, he did make a lot of his crosses first half, sorry I missed that you did not see first half
