Difference being Man Utd's youngsters are class, ours are realistically, not that good. I've have Barton over Stanislas any day over the next 2/3 seasons.
"Of course" they are better than ours, but their whole team are u know, we are not even a PL side anymore, if you haven't noticed. You can't compare. But you can show the young your belief: IF Welbeck can start in front of Berbatov, I'd say Stanislas can be given a go instead of Taylor/Collison a game or two...
So if Welbeck is better than Stanislas, still don't make me want to sell Stanislas to Burnley, and loan out someone like Spence for a year. Some must go, not everyone make it, but apart from Tomka - sooo good - we are not even giving them a chance on the bench at the moment. Ferguson does....
Some of ours have pace and energy, something we seem to have lacked in most of our first games.....

And no, I am not against loaning out players, or letting some go, and I respect Sam a lot, but I hope Sam's eagerness to win just makes him rely on 30 year olds he has bought - because I think it's better to blend a bit.... Want to see Barrera as well.

(I would not say that Noble are a youngster anymore. Collison, maybe, he is a year older than Junior.)

So in summary, don't loan out or sell young players, but it's OK to loan out and sell young players providing we don't rely on the 30 year old signings Taylor and Collison for the whole season.

Maybe also sign Wellbeck.

I see.

What is this Obsession with Sam and the media he is getting as bad as Brady and now Nolan over Barton, the players and the manager should do all the talking on the pitch with our performances at present.

Get rid of Stanislas. He has shown consistently over the last two seasons that he can't cut it.

We dont want Bridge back.

Get Barton in!

How can you come out with a comment like that, without knowing the full facts? Most of these comments were probably after the Leeds game, and the paper, having nothing exciting to write, bring up old news. Part of being a footballer/manager is dealing with the press. It's hardly like Big Sam is interviewed everyday!

Cheers CH Stanislas to Burnley gets my vote. Hopefully, they will come in for Sears too.

i would only agree with selling Stanislas and Sears if we are going to replace them. There are lot of games in this league including the cup run we'll have too i think we need a couple of "back up" players like those 2 mentioned because there will be injuries and there will be 2 games a week a lot of the time.

Are City now skint then after all their summer signings that they have to offer us two players in a straight swop for Parker? Think we should tell them, "You've gotta be joking to offer us a full back who was an unimitigated disaster when here on loan with us last season. He is no better than our Um Bongo and in fact, our Um Bongo is possibly, marginally better. Tell you what, give us £3m and SWP and you've got a deal"

What's the obsession with negative posts?

Maybe if the media focus on Sam it'll ease the pressure on the players - a group of individuals who have exhibited shattered confidence for nearly three seasons.
First it was the pressure of fighting relegation, which they failed at; Now it's the pressure of being one of the larger teams and being expected to bounce straight back at first time of asking.
Mouriniho did it at Chelsea - the focus was largely on the 'Special One' which gave the players more room to breathe.
It is Sam's job to rebuild confidence and rebuild a team.
Talking us up (and it being recycled again and again because we are still a big story to the press thanks to the last couple of years merry go round) is hardly the same as Brady talking about some Chairmen's infidelity is it?

As for Nolan who the f*** cares if says he'd love Barton here - I would too.
Every **** under the sun can talk about Parker going to Spurs/Arse/Man Citeh/Villa/Stoke/QPR/Any where - Nolan and Sam might be the key to getting Barton so have at it I say.

Are you having a laugh? Wayne Bridge may not have been everyone's cup of tea here (personally I thought he was fine post-Arsenal, despite being ridiculously overpaid) but he is without a shadow of a doubt better than Herita

Why the laughing emoticon George ? Sorry, don't get it. ~ Bridge was shocking for us, probably due in no small measure to the fact that he was shagged out from knobbing that bird from The Saturdays every night of the week. He has one good game for us, but that was about it

Cheers CH.

"Max Gradel is set to snub West Ham, who want to sign the Leeds striker. Allardyce has had a £2million bid rejected - but Gradel said: "If I keep playing well, I'll end up somewhere better.""

Cheeky scamp.
