agreed, some of the football we produced last season was simply amazing and that was with Carrick in the side. Our defeat to Milan has been used as the reason why we'd need a player like Hargreaves by many when the reality was that we had a complete make-shift defence and and a tired squad who had just come off a tough game away to Everton three days before, whereas Milan whose only preoccupation had been the CL the whole season, had rested their main players in the league game before our visit to San Siro. These details seem to escape some people's attention as well as the fact that Carrick was aboslutely fantastic and played an important role in our wonderful free-flowing football last season.
