Neville eyes battle with Brown

Bump

Who's going to start the season at right back then?

KanieKaned · 5th August 2008, 19:19

Brown I think with Gary being out for so long he's gonna have to work his way into the starting 11

Classy Cannon · 5th August 2008, 19:26

Can't see Ralph starting if that's why you've bumped this...but you never know

REd FUn DevIl · 5th August 2008, 19:27

Gary cant even stay fit for pre season ffs.

He didnt even play too much.

Brown will start the season again for us.

not why I bumped it. Was just curious what others thought, and of course I'm in the process of finalising my fantasy football team

Brown is now first choice for me, it may be a struggle for Gaz to get back as first choice unless he stops picking up these niggles.
How long till he's back from this one..................

I'm leaving mine right till the last minute. A weeks a long time in football, a couple of signings here & there could completely change the team you want, then you have to waste transfers.

I think Wes Brown will probably start the season and it will be up to Neville to displace him in the team. I really like Neville and he's much better at going forward but you have to look at it from Wes Browns point of view. He had an excellent season playing in the team with the best defensive record in the league. You'd be a bit fucking gutted if you were dropped straight away by someone who's just been out for a year wouldn't you!

Over the course of a long season I think they'll both get plenty of games. With those two in your squad it also gives you the choice of moving Brown into the middle in which is probably his best position if Rio or Vidic are out. He was absolutely immense at centre back against Barcelona last season. And it just shows again the strength of our squad to have two players of that quality battling for their place in the team.

You lot must be havin' a laugh.
Did any of you witness Rafael last night?!

In all seriousness, it will be Brown until Ferguson deems Neville to be deserving of dislodging him.

I'll stick my neck on the block and say that Gary Neville won't be first choice right back at the club ever again.
