thank you all for your kind words), what do we suspect today will bring?
I'm going to say a 3-1 (Memphis, Rooney, Martial, Pelle) win and be optimistic.
I think that we will see Blind move across and Jones come in to partner Smalling. Rojo will be played only if he has to be because he and LVG don't get on.
I hope Carrick starts in the middle and I think Schneiderlin too will start.
The big one for me is that I hope Mata is dropped for Young so we can have two quick wide players with Martial playing ahead of Rooney who can take up the number 10.

Hope you are right. you are 50% of the way there mate :)

Shame Rooney wasn't playing Fresh!
20 Sep 2015 20:28:08
Yes, didn't hear a great deal from Rooney today. This is a terrible bout of form.

Hats off to the team today. Important win seeing as city dropped points. Very nervy at the end but I openly hold my hands up and say that I was not expecting that after we went a goal down. See - I'm not all negative!!

I think Rooney is an important player to have on the pitch regardless of whether he pops up much. He does so much work that you never get to see on the TV and the presence of Rooney is so important for the rest of the team. He never gives up, he is so hungry for victory and is vital for the development of the younger players. Important part of the team that we can't be without.
{Ed025's Note - i think hes great teddy...but to be fair mate he has been piss poor up to now this season, now i now this may not be the case but he looks to me as though his heart is not in it anymore, if i did not know better i would think he was angling for a move..

Do you really think? I hope that's not the case and hadn't even considered it. He's definitely past his best but I still think he's the heartbeat of the team and we need his presence. Especially with how wobbly the team is at the moment. Interesting thoughts anyway! I hope you're wrong lol
{Ed025's Note - i only said it looked that way teddy, as you say he has been the heartbeat of the team for many years, and a fine servant (if servants were on £300k a week)and is potentially your best player, but hes not producing the goods this season and maybe a spell on the bench would be a good thing for him mate..
20 Sep 2015 22:44:56
Hope so!

Been a few years since he signed a new contract though,probably fancies a new deal.
{Ed025's Note - i would do a straight swap for stones brendan...everyones a winner..
21 Sep 2015 00:07:49
Maybe he likes the look of Miami!
21 Sep 2015 12:01:00
A swap at the end of the season for Stones sounds good to me. Don't know if Martinez will see it that way
21 Sep 2015 18:50:41
Ed025, if I was in charge at United you'd have a deal my friend.
21 Sep 2015 22:34:54
Dream scenario: Rooney to Everton at the end of the season and perhaps Barkley to United?
{Ed025's Note - i dont think we can afford his wages road..but the swap seems fair mate..

You never know Ed, he could prove most of us wrong and think "to hell with the money, I have made enough and want to play for the club that made me and I support". He has the Beckham franchise written all over him though in my eyes.
{Ed025's Note - you could well be right beast, but he has said he would like to return to everton one day so who knows..
