New scapegoat needed
Now that O'Shea and Gibson have both move on, and with Fletcher currently out ill, who is the fans choice to become the new scapegoat when things go wrong?

Gibson's just been sold to Everton for £1m and you still can't accept he was never a 'scapegoat' but quite simply wasn't good enough.

Park. Although it is justified at times.

In order, it will be:
1. Park 2. Evans 3. Young 4. De Gea 5. Rio. 6. Evra That's the great thing about scapegoats. You can never run out of them. |

Personally I think we're well covered for scapegoats and that's why we can afford to let Gibson go.
Evans/Carrick/Berbatov are your stalwarts in all departments. Rio/Park are adequate cover for the first 2 but we've seen a decent swing towards Hernandez this season and there's plenty of reasons to use Rooney here if caught short. The less said about the GK department the better. |

Evans-Berbatov-Park
Despite our decline since O'shea and Brown have left, I expect to read many people ask SAF to sell these players as soon as possible. Both goalies and Young will come in for signings that prove we are skint and cant afford world class players. |
