I am a Big..Big Soccer fan and specially English football (EPL), You can say I’am a football buff I even consider it to be better then Cricket(acc. to me). Like any other EPL fan I loved to watch ManU play and in the last season they tought there counterparts (Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle) how to play Footy. I Loved the race to the title at the end.
Though I too consider selling Beck’s to Real was a loss I dont mind it, I Know that RVN (Ruud Van Nistelroy) wont be able to score as many as goals because most of his goals came from a Beckham pass or a Veron creation, but they dont have to worry much because if Scholes, Giggs and RVN Continue the form they are in they will be surely leading the goal list next season. Veron would also be missed as he was another player who can take charge of the set pieces(beside Beckham).
I think David Bellion was a good buy from Sunderland, though I dont know much about Eric Djemba Djemba I am sure he is a good player if Furgie likes him so much, The red devils should be disapointed they could not get Ronaldinho but Great players came and gone it dosent matter much to ManU as they play as a team and that whats makes it a great team and to top it all off they also signed Kleberson one of the heroes of the World cup (so what they cant get Ronaldinho?).
The addition of the portugese youngster Christiano Ronaldo have made manchester united a strong team in europe taking the No.7 Jersy from beckham he have more pace and more one to one skills (which beckham can not deliver) with this youngster Manchester have surely found a replacement for beckham and he would turn out to be a big star.
Defence:-
I am priety sure that ManU will have the best defensive record as they have a great defensive line-up with the likes of Rio Ferdinend, Naville Bro’s(Gary, Phil), Wes Brown, Silvestre, Jhon O’Shea and to top it all off they have great keepers one is the American keeper Tim Howard(New Sighning) and another is R.Caroll (Ireland) I think they will replace Barthez (I considered him to be a great Keeper). Defensively ManU are very strong and iwont be surprised if ManU may consider playing five defenders.
Mid-Field:-
ManU also have a driving Mid-Field though the absence of Beckham will be felt it still boast’s a formidible foce both offensively and defensively the likes of Scholes, Soljsker, Giggs, Roy Keane(*Captin), N.Butt, Kleberson & Djemba Djemba are a force to deal with. I think my personal Fav. Scholes is a threat when he is in a deadly form. he oprates well from the centre of the Mid field. The winger Giggs is also suited to his positioin. Roy Keane gives that something extra to the defence. Solksjaer have a baby face but he turns into a beast in front of the Goal(he is also considered to be a striker), Oh yeah I almost forgot the Brazilian Kleberson who is known by every one for his inspirational WorldCup performence.C.Ronaldo have added more stength in the mid feild with his blinding speed and control he have left every rival speechless I think he is the best buy of the season for Manchester(Bravo Manchester).
Offence:-
The devils also carry a leathel offensive line up I think after Eric Cantona(France), RVN is the best striker in ManU and the last season rush for goals showed why he is considered one of the greatest with the likes of Diego Forlan and the new boy David Bellion besides him ManU have got this area covered Forlan showed why he was selected in the World’s Best Team last season by scoring many goals and Bellion the young chap from France have showed his skills by scoring in the very first game with ManU Jersy.
Well here is how I belive the man u team should be:-
Tim Howard
