It is

Good on them, I hope the club use it wisely!

Well hopefully McGhee whittles them out, because there's no point in having players like that at the club. They need rockets up their arses to get them out of this apparent comfort zone complex they seem to be harbouring.

I just don't think he's consistent enough. I've always thought he was a good player and certainly worthy to play for United, just not been convinced. I do agree though, they are crying out for a creative midfielder ala Scholes.

I'm hoping him saying that they are doing ok means that he's not giving too much away. We need some more signings to come off, especially in defence.

Didn't see the games tonight, but Fletcher is not first XI United quality. And I know thats what you're getting at BB. But Fergie was kidding himself on that he wouldn't need to dip further into his budget this season. I actually think Ronaldo papered a lot of cracks by scoring a lot of crucial goals. But I have confidence in Fergie to do this. But he needs to get on it as soon as!

Agreed, Miller needs a rocket up his arse to make him realise he is dropable and not central to this team.

Other than the latter part of the piece, its mostly regurgitated(sp?) from previous articles. Must be another slow news day.

I hope to fuck that he was arrested, or better still informed by the Y's finest at the final whistle about his misplaced location and identity.

I don't blame them for doing their job, whilst I disagree with the battles they are fighting, they are doing a job that is life threatening at times.

I was just thinking if we'd get anyone else in before the weekend. Good to hear at least someone is coming in on trial though! Hopefully they'll be up to the task and signed up.

Thats fair enough. I think most folk on here thought the same when the rumours were rife of his apparent appointment. That is not to say we won't give him our backing, because of course we will. I hope to hell he turns things around, its just not looking too good at the moment.

Poor effort. Keep trying stoney

I went for the same, didn't see the point in doing two others.

We still need at least 2 signings before the window shuts. A right back and a right mid. I wish I shared your optimism reekie, but I just can't. We have serious problems in the team and I don't think we looked up for it at all on Saturday. Yes we were outplayed by a superior Celtic side but it was the distinct lack of effort/cohesion and passion which worried me. We've wasted far too much time chasing signings that weren't going to be pulled off but what is important that the club rallies round and starts the season properly on Saturday. They'll need to show infinitely more passion and desire to beat Hamilton and I hope they realise this.

Out of curiousity, as I don't know, is Crawford a RB? Why isn't he being played instead of playing Duff? It does Duffs confidence no good being played there and it sure as hell is a detriment to the team. All assuming of course that Crawford is a RB

Sammy Lee sent off

Aye it was a great game to watch. Watched quite a bit of the Eredivisie last season and found it far more entertaining than the SPL if i'm honest. Not caught any Bundesliga just yet.

Good to see they were only level for all of 3 minutes Btw, anyone see the Hibs attendance yesterday? 6350?!?!? Truly pathetic, I thought they always got at least 10,000 for an SPL game? Anyone catch the PSV - Ajax game today on ESPN? Some match! 33 shots on goal, of which, 24 on target. Shame it ended 4-3 though.

Don't worry, no-one is stupid enough to pay that much for him. On his day Miller is a great forward, but it seems to occur less and less now. I was hoping that the change in manager might reignite his passion. It is early days yet, but I don't see it happening, just doesn't seem to be bothered. As someone else said, i'd be surprised if McGhee saw much of any cash made from a sale.

Why would Federer drop out? I think its great the three of them battling it out between each other, so I'd hope he doesn't. Obviously though, I'd prefer it if Murray got a major tournament win under his belt. Just to ruffle a few feathers.

Journalism at its best. I'd be extatic if we got that for him. Oh and I'd like Josh Walker back on top of that please

Miller was woeful yesterday. If he puts that much effort in the next couple of games I hope to fuck MM will drop him. You can't even blame it for being marked out of the game or lack of service. The smeltic defence didn't even have to worry about marking him because he never went to the ball. Miller must do better.

Can't say I share your optimism, but hell, I live in hope

Can't say I disagree with any of your comments Marky. I was glad to see Paton come on and I hope it makes Maguire think a bit. Personaly, I thought Miller was our worst performer today. I expected a lot more from him, some effort at least. I'm going to go for Langfield as my MOTM, some vital saves, but Aluko would be a second choice.
