    Parker out for dinner with Harry

    Thats simply not true; when we played Milan away for example he tucked Pienaar in on the left and we played 4 5 1. Modric often plays on the left against teams such as Wolves

    Parker out for dinner with Harry

    Parker would give us so much, and would be a key addition in terms of leadership especially. I have always been a huge advocate of his signing and hopefully his season this year will have won over the detractors he used to attract on here. I think he would essentially be a '1 in 2 out'...

    Redknapp Out; Villas-Boas In

    Absolutely, a strong start is imperative. To be honest, though, I think Harry is probably as frustrated as the next man at the moment, and will be itching to get his teeth into the squad in the summer. It is tremendously annoying, you have to admit, that we have O'Hara, Kranjcar, Hutton, Keane...

    Redknapp Out; Villas-Boas In

    I think we all know that the simple answer to that is that it won't. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the team that could have been rectified by Harry. We have a talented but hugely imbalanced squad full of surplus bulk, which for economic reasons completely beyond his control he has...

    View on our squad from a Man U fan (stolen from Red Cafe)

    I said this the other day and todays game only reinforced the belief: we need to be more compact and controlling in midfield by playing two proper holding players (two from Sandro, Huddlestone, Parker/Tiote/upgrade on Palacios), to free Modric, and then have quick counter-attacking wingers with...

    Lennon for sale..?

    Mental perhaps, but the rationale is this: Van Der Vaart, however brilliant at times, does not fit into our team or the way that Harry wants us to play (push and run, fast tempo, control the game in midfield and then kill them on the break). He is also a very demanding player to have in the...

    Lennon for sale..?

    This team would be the shit: Given Walker Kaboul Dawson Bale Parker Modric Huddlestone Downing (Gun forward) Young Selling Lennon and Van Der Vaart to fund the other two and I'd be more than happy with that.

    Is Redknapp Tactically good Enough!

    You make fair points here but to criticise Redknapp for them is, I feel, failing to get to the heart of the issue: the imbalance of our squad. Yes you could say that this is his fault, he's had the opportunity to re-shape it et cetera; but this fails to account for the fact that it is in fact...

    The Huddlestone-Modric Combo

    I think we will play like this next season Gomes Walker Kaboul Dawson Bale Sandro Huddlestone Modric Lennon New ST New LF I genuinely wouldn't be surprised either if Harry sacrificed VDV to bring in a Marin/Ashley Young type left forward, I really don't think that Rafa, as good a player as...

    Is 4-3-3 the answer?

    I personally think we should play this as of next season Gomes Walker/New RWB Dawson Gallas/Kaboul Bale (as an advanced wing back who gets up and down for 90 minutes) Sandro Huddlestone Modric VDV ST Lennon Van Der Vaart and Lennon with free roles coming off their lines, Huddlestone...

    Which midfielders to go?

    Which midfielders to go?

    Oddly I genuinely think that I would rather have Jenas in the squad than Diarra as things stand. He's been in good form this season and has had a number of excellent games, while moreover is a brilliant squad player because, as deserved as much criticism of him has undoubtedly been over the...
