Pogba.

Pogba?...Fergies biggest stubborn error....'nuff said!

----------

Could have saved us so much money and headache filling that centre mid position. But i think that ship has sailed and Pjanic should be a target, brilliant player IMO

If he moves to City it will be to replace Toure.

Toure is a better player if maybe less consistent, so I wouldn't be overly worried.

It really annoys me that people say SAF messed up. Pogba wasn't playing that well for the reserves at the time that he got narked about not starting for the first team. Petrucci was our best midfielder in the reserves around that time.

From a City POV it looks like Toure could be replaced by either Pogba or Song.

If you compare the 2 then Pogba wins hands down on the grounds of age, goal scoring record and year-round availabilty as he's not African.

Not to mention the fact that Pogba is twice the player Song will ever be.

Mate you are having a mare here. Ferguson farked up, easy. He played Fabio and Park in centre midfield instead of the lad ffs.

I put skyplayer on thinking the scoreline of real madrid game is 1-2 then see Ronaldo has put the ball in the net to make it 3-1 and then scores another to make it 4-1and bale missed an open goal rebound from tight angle. Man utd should be more ruthless at end of the games instead of hanging on as that is what cost us the title in 2011/12 season. 55 goals 13 conceded in 15 games 39 points for Real Madrid in the league yet this Chelsea side are made out by the media to be a team to be feared

Carrick is LVG saviour hence a special mention to him and the wins that followed after his return LVG must think Carrick is the special one with his blocks and starting up of attacks (frugal in conceded goals in defence now). He even said in his first press conference how disappointed he was carrick was injured. Carrick can play in defence and in midfield and brings more BALANCE to the team.

I think Elvis has a point actually. I don't disagree that Fergie effed up...but I was not particularly impressed with Pogba at the time that he got narked off...While I agree that we should not have played other players out of position in CM when we could have played Pogba, the lad had not shown that he deserved to be a first team starter in general. He wasn't in great form in the reserves and I was actually surprised at how quickly he blossomed in Italy.

One thing that I like about LVG is that he will play a youngster if need be rather than playing others out of position to cover injuries. This has two main benefits:-

1) Youngsters get game time in their preferred positions in matches that actually matter. This is better for their development than giving them games out of position, or just in less important matches.

2) It allows us to trim our squad. By putting faith in young players when we have an injury crisis it means we don't need a small army of squad players who are actually earning first team wages. Instead we can spend that money on one or two world class players. This obviously benefits the team and means that our youngsters get to play with, and learn from, genuine world class players.
