Rangers_no1 15,423 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 With public transport costs rising, it is a nice touch from Man Utd. How much is a train ticket from London to Manchester nowadays? Btw I got completely mixed up with the point about free entry into the Europa League. United have this policy of making season ticket holders purchase home FA cup and Champions league games, even if they're not attending. What they've done is change that policy for the Europa League, it's now not mandatory to purchase tickets for this game. So it's not free entry and the fans have the option to buy a ticket.No wonder a selection of the United fans have argued against this policy of having to purchase those games, shocking rule.

Rangers_no1 15,423 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Question for my fellow bears.....How many Man United players do you believe would get starting slot for Barcelona? Who would they replace? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheKingObv 6,022 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Question for my fellow bears.....How many Man United players do you believe would get starting slot for Barcelona? Who would they replace?Vidic possibly for Puyol, but you wouldn't want to disrupt the Pique-Puyol partnership. I think Puyol is better than Vidic, but he isn't as reliable (fitness-wise) anymore.Nobody else is close. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the goal machine 5,412 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Question for my fellow bears.....How many Man United players do you believe would get starting slot for Barcelona? Who would they replace?Perhaps Vidic in for Puyol but I'm not sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thermopylae 9,069 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Question for my fellow bears.....How many Man United players do you believe would get starting slot for Barcelona? Who would they replace?I take your point but the best players don't always make the best teams I mean how many of the Porto team who won the Champins League ended up at the really big clubs ... and you could say the same about the Danish team who won the Euros (Brian appart of course ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KBOO72 3,482 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Question for my fellow bears.....How many Man United players do you believe would get starting slot for Barcelona? Who would they replace?Perhaps evra for abidal at a push and maybe Rooney for one of the front 3 messi aside obviously . I think he'd suit there system perfectly , freedom to roam and get involved wherever he wants . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ferdasyn 431 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I'm not a big fan of Rooney, but when he gets to roam and do whatever he wants he's very effective. He's had some brilliant games when not playing as an out and out striker, some of his long passes are top quality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BillyBoy11 63 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Evra at Left Wing Back.Rooney could easily play the as the centre forward.Nani could maybe if he was more a team player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's unbelievably inconsistent , something which I'm sure fergie and most other would have thought he would have grown out of by now . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sdunsmb 43 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Question for my fellow bears.....How many Man United players do you believe would get starting slot for Barcelona? Who would they replace?I don't think any of them would be guaranteed starters but Evra, Vidic, Carrick, Nani, Rooney are good enough to be used squad members. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan_1 1,122 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Wayne Rooney could easily play as one of the front three.The rest of the current United would struggle, Evra and Nani could get themselves into the squad, aswell as Vidic. That comes from a United follower. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Columbo 588 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Only Rooney, Evra and Vidic would be regulars.Phil Jones would probably be groomed as long term replacement for Puyol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Creampuff 16,518 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Vidic is horrifically overrated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gid 46 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I don't think any of them would be guaranteed starters but Evra, Vidic, Carrick, Nani, Rooney are good enough to be used squad members.Really? Guys like Keita and Thiago can't get into the first 11 but you think Carrick would be a useful squad player? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gid 46 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Vidic is horrifically overrated.Agree. A few years ago he looked the part but I think he's now living off that reputation without reaching that same high standard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
King Jela 12,846 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Why Evra ? He's so inconsistent.Edit - Naw in fact, he's just nowhere near good enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rangers_no1 15,423 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Thought this question might get some debate going. Read something similar on a United forum asking how many would get in Barcelona and Real Madrid's teams. Should have read some of the shouts, De Gea would replace Valdes, Hernandez has a shout to start for Real, loads Rio claims. Not sure why Barcelona's youth players continue to get underestimated. Likes of Bartra, Fontas, Montoya have fantastic futures and just because they haven't played often means they're shit or Smalling/Jones/Fabio etc are better.Anybody else believe Rooney would struggle to start at Barcelona? He wouldn't be played as the striker, Messi has that false number 9 role. Thus meaning Rooney would not get to 'roam' which occurred when he play LW at United. How often does Rooney take players on or dribble with the ball? United fans regularly mention he's lost a yard of pace and doesn't offer that part anymore. That's important to the two forward roles at Barcelona, whilst running in behind and staying out wide to offer width, personally I don't think Rooney suits those two roles.

sdunsmb 43 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Really? Guys like Keita and Thiago can't get into the first 11 but you think Carrick would be a useful squad player?Wasn't really saying he would be 'useful' for them, just giving an indication of the standard of player that wouldn't be out of their depth if they had to slot into their respective position. It's one of those hypothetical questions which is difficult to answer and depends how it is interpreted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Although Im not sure any of them would fit into the Barca set up. Its completely different from any other team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
