Brilliant news!
Brilliant news!
Ferguson is back in the Hunt
- Thread starter poisson
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
He's better of doing that from the wing, he's normally bigger and stronger then any full back he faces, he'll be much closer matched in the center and better marked.
THE HUNTER

On the back of my shirt 9
I think we have enough wingers with Ronnie, Giggs, Nani and Park plus Evra likes to bomb down that left wing as well at times.
Ronaldo is a winger. Yeah he likes to cut inside now and have more of a free role which is great but we could still do with another striker. We have 3 strikers in Rooney, Tevez and Saha and I think we need a fourth. We need a big target man up front that can bang in a lot of goals, the way RVN did and I think Huntelaar could be that man.
I'm not sure thats a 100% true, I reckon with the rest of the team improving he's getting more chances, he still mostly a winger.
Its been a long time since we've had a winger that hugged the touchlines, Beckham was the last man, Giggs never was.
Giggs didn't use to cut in like Nani or Ronaldo though.
He's been cutting in for a number of years now, even before Ronaldo and Nani arrived, you also have to take into note how one footed he is, theres little point for him cutting in.
Who cares.. We have wingers more of the Arsenal style now and it seems to be working, with no target man whats the need for continious crossing. If we were to get Huntelaar how ever we would need our wingers to hug the touchline more
Except Arsenal do have a pair of big lumps to aim the ball at on occasion, they show that having such a player doesn't stop you playing football, neither did Ruud for us.
I don't mind getting Huntelaar!! or a target man infact, i was just stating that there's nothing wrong with the way our wingers play!
Not really. Our current midfield would suit Huntelaar down to the ground. He is real good at latching on to through balls.. and balls over the top
He mostly roams around these days (free role) which make it very difficult for opposition to pick him up or mark.
This won't happen. We're not signing anyone in January.
I hope this helps.

Did anyone else think we were signing Stephen Hunt on opening this thread?

Is Huntelaar any good then or what?

Great player, but were not getting anyone in this transfer window !
Would be a good summer signing, we could give them Dong in exchange.

The one thing thats appeals to me about Huntelaar is his attitude. Our 4th striker needs not to be arsehole whos gonna moan everytime hes left out. Someone else mentioned a friendly against Ireland a while back. He was v. impressive live. Not so much the goals his movement was excellent. Since Ruud left we do miss an out and out finisher. Dont think it'll happen this month though, maybe in the summer.
Ooh aah Huntelaar?
I thought we were getting Nicky Hunt for some reason...
Hunetelaar Huntelaaaaaaaaar
Huntalar Hunte laa Huntalaa
(to the tune of the superman cartoon theme..yes I'm bored)

I have to admit i would be pretty happy with this signing.
Berbs seems to have a Cantona-esque look about him at times. The nonchalant way he strides around the pitch and pings balls left and right (however not saying he is in the same class as the King). However i still think he would cost to much, is a sulky bastard, is nearly 28 and his goal record isnt that fantatastic.
Huntelaar looks fantastic. 24 year old with pace, finishing, aerial ability and strength. For me only downside is the fact he isnt proven in the premiership but that only happens one way. He looks like he could be a fantastic player so i would not be annoyed if this rumour came to fruition.

I rather see us getting Berbatov. he is just fecking class.
I havent seen Huntelaar playing but everytime Ajax scores the Hunt is on the scoreline.
Whatever we aint gonna make any signings now.

On current form he would probably be our 3rd best. Saha ain't in great form of late.
We could get both though. Saha for my money will leave next summer...(and provided, Manucho and people like Campbell don't quite set the world alight then..)
Being a one of 4 possible striking options and 4th choice are not the same thing though. He'd gives us extra options. Which we don't quite have with Saha off the boil
I was watching Sky Sports News this morning before work and there was an interview with David Gill. He reiterated that we were not pursuing anybody this transfer window.
I'd love us to buy a striker but i just can't see us signing anybody before the summer.

Exactly we are missing one more striker at the moment. The only striker i would consider official starter is Rooney, the rest should fight for their places, right now Tevez is Rooney's partner but if we get another one like Berbatov or Huntelaar then that position is open again.
I've been out-WUMmed!
He's still 26 for a couple more weeks.
Guess what, we won't sign him.
Counting the days?
from my great experience of watching youtube clips......
If he's as good as his clips he is deffinately worth a punt, especially for the price. He could be the real deal. "The next van basten" isn't a bad tagline to have, although those taglines that flow around rarely have much merit (Bellion next Henry) rings a bell.
We could do with another striker, currently we only ever seem to have 2 that are fit at a time, only have 3 when all are fit at the same time (Rare). Ofcourse unless you are counting on a Dong miracle, or if this Manucho bloke is good enough for first team action after the african cup.
Looking at the ever changing world of football, and how expensive the average player is getting, i'd say if £12mil was a genuine price tag for a 24 year old potentially world class player, then we should give him a go. I personally like it when SAF takes reasonble gambles, and in this case i feel that the potential benefits from buying Huntelaar heavily outway the bad.

Wouldn't doubt it
Cockbiscuit.
75% of the people on here wanking about Hunter, haven't seen him play at all. That is a fact.
Me myself, never seem him play at all.
