Horrified
I'd love for him to get a start today
Is Crouch in the squad? fecking hell.

You definitely have a point there.From what I've seen since his return he's 'grown into his body' as it were. The same excellent technique (that dragged trap against Barca was amazing) but he's less gangly and more confident in his movement.
Could have a barnstormer of a year
Honestly...I hope PSG offers 25 million for Berba (hey, we can all dream right?), and we accept. I love Berba - I think he's a quality player and someone who has given his all, but the style of football we played today we simply can't do with Berba on the pitch.Very good today. But I'm not sure what it might mean for Berba. Supersub ?
Will be very interesting to see what our frontline is as the season goes on.
He is certainly more natural out wide as forward as well as just behind the main striker but with the way that we seem rotate positions with him in the starting lineup he a bit of god send as he can play any position in the final 3rd.Anyone else think he'll be a wide forward more than the main man upfront. Don't think he is a natural when it comes to goalscoring. But his link up play and intelligence is brilliant.
Has never been otherwise. It was one thing I noticed about him when he was playing for the reserves. He was Tevez like. Bruce had nothing to do with it.One thing I noticed apart from his bulking up is his improved attitude to closing down and working hard. I think Bruce pus a lot of emphasis on this so it's brilliant he's taken it on board.
He was very good today, wasn't involved as much as he would've liked to be but most things he did had a touch of class. His interplay in and around the edge of the box is up there with the best.
Really? I never really remembered him as a real workhorse back then but it's a few years ago so I could well be mistaken. Fair enough.Has never been otherwise. It was one thing I noticed about him when he was playing for the reserves. He was Tevez like. Bruce had nothing to do with it.
you aint got a clue
This was part of my first post in this thread. I'm chuffed to bits with how he played yesterday and I think we are already seeing a return to the swagger and free-flowing football that we've become accustomed to with watching United over the years. I felt that our football had become a lot more 'stagnant' over the last few years, but Welbeck and Cleverley (who I had written off as a CM) are making a difference already.Him and Rooney will emulate the Rooney-Saha partnership, with which we played our best attacking football in a long time.
Wait, wat? He's almost totally the opposite of hernandez as a player!He is a great alternative to Hernandez I agree. Almost a like-for-like. Not identical game styles, but we can use Rooney in a similar way with Hernandez as we can Welbeck
Like for like in terms of the position he can take up on the pitch, but with a different game style, obviously. Welbeck can and will run in behind which can stretch the defense - just like Hernandez does giving Rooney the room to operate in.Wait, wat? He's almost totally the opposite of hernandez as a player!
Wesley Sneijder confirms interest in joining Manchester United and insists unofficial talks have begun - TelegraphDanny Welbeck, meanwhile, is believed to have requested a substantial pay rise to reflect his improved status at Old Trafford. Talks over a new contract for the 20-year-old striker, who spent last year on loan at Sunderland but has been promised first team football this year by Ferguson.It is believed the forward has asked United for a rise to around £60,000 a week after establishing himself as a full international.
