I'm not anti-marquee I'm just pro-development. I think fans that sit there and say 'spend, spend, spend' say that because they never consider the development of players and just demand instant success. Where is the next gen coming from? Who is bringing them thru then? Look at Barca. Sure they do splash the cash but the majority of their squad is brought thru their system and youth structure allowing them to learn to play the Barca way. Then because they as well can afford to they spend to fill holes they can fill with their own. No wonder they are considered the greatest club on Earth.Kosta Utd wrote:maaaaaaaaaaaaate who gives a rats ass.. is it coming out of your pocket.. the squad obviously needs a quick rebuild and I am very happy United are buying top quality players.. also for the long term I am wanting the club to continue along with youth.. which im sure they will
I think stuckey has an anti 'marque' policy.. not in favour of either united spending to get good players in

Re: Man Utd
United have given academy players Blackett, Lingard and M.Keane debuts this season. Reece James and W. Keane played in the pre-season. Last season Laurence and Wilson made their debuts.
Wilson is a much better prospect as a striker than Welbeck, hence why Welbeck was released (mistake IMO).
To say United have abandoned their youth policy is ludicrous. All these players will develop into better players playing with the class players just purchased rather than all being thrown into a team that was lacking class with 9 injuries and 5 retirements/players moved on.
The 3 5 2 is a better system with fullbacks as WB's rather than wingers. Rafael and Shaw would have been those WB's if not injured. Young and Valencia have struggled there.
Anyway, Lallana and Lambert didn't want to come to United because of a lack of Champions League football so instead we got DiMaria and Falcao!

Re: Man Utd
Lambert didn't want to come to UTD, because he is a LFC fan, who would never play for UTD. It had nothing to do with UTD being a mid table team.

I remember reading history books about Galileo's discovery that the Sun didn't revolve around the Earth...he was demonised for his heliocentric beliefs...soon people will realise that the football world doesn't revolve around Manchester United.

Yeah, I never doubt Di Maria's ability, good to see this. Maybe C Ronaldo will join Manchester United next season, hope Manchester United can rebuild his glory soon.

Re: Man Utd
Blind was excellent. Di Maria is sublime. What a combination of dribbling and passing. I would rather have him than Ronaldo or Bale for that reason. A joy to watch.

Danny Blind made 112 passes during the game, the fifth highest total of any player in any game so far this season.
Number of passes successfully completed = 107.
Thats shows just how good he wasin his first game.
