....for one favour from SAF regarding team affairs (transfer in/out, tactics, youth fast-track), what would it be?

Edit: no unrealistic requests. Whatever is within the gaffers jurisdiction

GingerPrince11 · 7th May 2010, 02:42

no debt?

or do you mean on-field?

Uncle Junior · 7th May 2010, 02:43

Berbatov stays.

Better clarify. Yes it's on-field. Whatever SAF may have the power to do

RK · 7th May 2010, 02:54

I'd ask him not to listen to the spastics (except me) asking for favours and just to carry on as he is.

Ironical, considering how unrealistic this thread is.

Name Changed · 7th May 2010, 02:58

Get Petrucci involved with the first team next season.

Fergies Formula · 7th May 2010, 03:05

Ask him to splash the ronaldo money before the world cup on gourcuff, maicon and benzema

Stop trying to be clever, it doesn't suit ya

Fazer · 7th May 2010, 05:05

Prepare Petrucci, King and Cleverly for first team action.

dann496 · 7th May 2010, 05:13

Involve Cleverley and Tosic in the first team next season.
Sign Modric or Gourcuff please.

p_ps_sock · 7th May 2010, 07:26

Sell berbatov and make macheda second choice striker.

SharkyMcShark · 7th May 2010, 07:52

Buy David Silva

Red_Jamie · 7th May 2010, 07:57

Just get Buffon and solve the impending goalkeeper problem.

I'd hate to see us spend years messing around with unreliable goalkeepers again like we did after Schmeichel.

Tumbling-Dice · 7th May 2010, 08:06

Sign Pablo Guiñazú and Nathan Delfouneso, Lloris and Jack Rodwell.

CentreForward · 7th May 2010, 08:13

I'd ask him to make me first choice CF.

Yes.

(trying desperately not to say "this")

Tumbling-Dice · 7th May 2010, 08:18

Wouldn't Lloris be a better option than Buffon ?

And won't VDS be number 1 for at least one more season ?

Red_Aaron · 7th May 2010, 08:19

a third vote for Buffon from me

and make Rafael first choice next season, him playing 10-12 games in succession early on will do his rushes-of-blood reflex the world of good

Are you retarded or something? There is no spelling mistake.

How would you know what suits me and what doesn't, you don't even know me. Your a weird dude. Its just a thread man, don't take it so personally.

Possibly.

I would have Lloris down as potentially sorting out our keeper for the next 10-15 years (after 1 or 2 years fine-tuning) while Buffon would definitely sort it out for the next 5-7 (starting from his very first game). It's just that the keeper is so important and we've seen a lot of potentially great keepers come and go.

VdS has been such a great success he has really proved the benefit of going for a proven, experienced, top class keeper.

Devil may care · 7th May 2010, 08:40

Id ask him to buy Pato.

Cal? · 7th May 2010, 13:46

In 2007 Guiñazu joined Internacional in Brazil. He is a phenomenal, determined player. When asked what is he used to do when he is tired during the match, his answer was: "I just keep running". He has unrivaled stamina and excels at manmarking

Fantastic midfielder, soon to be 32 but has the stamina and legs of a 22 year old. Left footer, fast as fuck, good positioning but isn't afraid of going forward. Internacional play a similar fast attacking game to United, lots of fast one touch passing, he would slot into our style of playing very well.

MUFC07 · 7th May 2010, 14:22

Sign Gourcuff

Plan M · 7th May 2010, 15:20

Buffon?! Isn't he 82 years old now?

In all fairness I didn't realise "ironical" was an actual word until I just looked it up. Good dictionary knowledge assasin.

You did let yourself down though by laughing at him and then screwing up yourself with the classic "Your a weird dude"... You ARE a weird dude, therefore "you're"

oooh the irony, it's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife

I don't think grammar or pronunciation is important in an argument. When you use grammar to put someone off in an argument you know you are out of good points. He is the one that brought it up, and the reason I laughed is he thought the spelling of ironical was wrong, and he was actually gloating about it. Which made him look like an absolute nutcase.

SirAF · 7th May 2010, 16:34

One favour? Sign me up, Fergie !

Raven Blade · 7th May 2010, 22:39

I second the vote for Buffon.

We need a top class keeper to replace Van der Sar and we would do well to get him. He looks like he may be available so why wait around?

Striker10 · 7th May 2010, 22:41

A contract would do. I'd pay (yes i'd pay) a fiver a game just to show you cnuts how great I could have been.

ntripunovski · 7th May 2010, 22:48

I dunno. If you can't get the basics of grammar correct then who's to say your theories aren't also full of mistakes and shoddy.

I'd ask for Cleverly and Petrucci to be given some chances. And perhaps requested to transfer his knighthood to Giggs...

Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber · 8th May 2010, 10:45

Get in Pastore, while telling me how it felt to finally take Liverpool of their fecking perch. Lastly, make the team more relentless and unforgiving off the ball.

kouroux · 8th May 2010, 10:50

Set the team to apply a higher and more vicious pressure (no player should be given a free pass when making the effort) to retrieve the ball quickly.Sometimes the opponents can have the time to play the ball around and build his attacks and that's dangerous
