marmite Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I was sat on the kop and actually thought for most of the first half you could hear a pin drop! it only came alive in the second half, and when we scored our first the atmos was great! Big well done to Steven Quinn!!!!!!! thought he was excellent Saturday. Looked really confident and looked like he believed that he SHOULD be playing at this level (certain senior players should take note). We still need a new central midfield! Andy Reid took the P*ss on Saturday - Jags is NO MIDFIELDER, and MONTY is NO FOOTBALLER!! - How that man makes a living from "playing" football is beyond me! Me and a few mates had the discussion Saturday - Is he the worst player in modern history to wear the red&white? .... we decided it was between him and Bobby Ford, with Spackman being a close 3rd! Young Quinny played well first half, good choice to take him off though, good debut for him in my opinion, he almost scored about a minute in aswell. "Jags no midfielder" i was saying in the car on the way back from the lane that Jagielka should drop back into defence, becasue hes trying to do too much. Id like to see him supporting the Midfielders, especially with Tonge out the last few weeks. I disagree about Monty, i think when he's got alright pace, can tackle and can cross. (saying that i would pick Kozluk or Tonge over him to start) If you think hes the worst player for blades...erm Leigertwood?? Leigertwood is yet to shine for me in a home game.

Disagree Monty is better when he is given a man marking job,to say he is in the same class as Bobby Ford is taking the pi--. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade1983 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Disagree Monty is better when he is given a man marking job,to say he is in the same class as Bobby Ford is taking the pi--. that's purely because he is given someone to follow around for the whole game. he still can't tackle without fouling someone though. and even if he did manage to imerge from a tackle with the ball, you can bet your life that if he needs to make more than a 5 yard pass the ball will be coming straight back at us! Seriously - Monty is awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First thoughts were: > why do we need to borrow £10m when we just got £30m for being promoted > This £5m had better be on top of the money Warnock didn't spend in close season, i.e. he had £10m, maybe spent £6m, so another £4m left > Hopefully he was getting some more money to spend in January anyway Or is this £5m all he's getting? because £5m won't go very far on 5/6 players he is after.

duffman Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 http://www.sufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/PLCDetail/0,,10418~938986,00.html This tells you why convertable loan notes are being used. They are thinking about the long term future of the club, if we blow all the promotion money and we end up going down then it will have been a waste of time getting promoted. People seem to have a mis-conception as to how much Warnock actually had in close season to spend, amounts were flying about in the paper, etc. I don't know how the board works, but people seem to think it's like a contract phone where the minutes you don't use get carried over, that probably doesn't work with regards to money in the kitty for players, i'm sure the club has spent a long time budgeting so we do not go overboard.

Ousetunes Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Since when did giving Neil Warnock a vast amount of money translate into quality signings? I still think on one hand that the signing of Akinbiyi was a waste of money. On the other hand, you could argue that in some way or other (noticeably the goal at Swillsborough) his signing helped us guarantee promotion. But as for our other big money signing, Claude Davis, it remains to be seen as to whether it is money well spent. From what I've seen so far, it isn't and it speaks volumes that the team's improvement in form has rested largely on the efforts of the players I for one expected to be moving on: Gillespie and Morgan. Maybe we don't need to give Warnock another £5m to spend on players like Davis and Akinbiyi? However, it may give us the clout to sign established players who will command large wages - and there are plenty of these in both the Premier and Championship leagues. One thing is for certain. The club will not undo all the hard graft of the last eight to ten years just to appease one or two fans. This club is in its healthiest financial position ever and I believe that should safety be guaranteed this season then the future will hold some very exciting times for Unitedites. So far we're roughly where we expected to be in the league. The team is playing with a stronger collective belief that was missing from the opening fixtures. We're beginning to look as if we belong in the top flight and despite Lee Dixon's claim that we might have to endure a five-nil drubbing at some point, we're making nearly every team we play work hard. Finally, anyone who reads TWaddle's column in the Sun will know it's time to shut this idiot up. Come May I hope he's eating a large slice of Humble Pie (bacon flavoured, of course). If recent form is anything to go by, that could be a large possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottf Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 great news about this convertible loan- financial genius!!! 3mil still not spent from pre-season, 5 mil from the loan, 2mil from players being sold in jan- i think we could have 10-12million to spend in jan, enough for 2 QUALITY midfielders and alan smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The greatest player to grace Sheffield's football fields. If he has been cussing united (& rightly so), it should be regarded as football doctrine! UTO!!
