raveed you're jealous

these were the ratings given to the players for this season ...


Roy Carroll - 4 - Disastrous season for Carroll it has to be said. Has been looking for the No1 jersey for so long and when Howard lost it, this was his chance. Always looked shaky and had a catalogue of errors, some unpunished (Spurs!)

Tim Howard - 6 - Lost his place in the team for a period after a bad mistake, but regained it only to lose it again. Not bad though, just needs experience.

Ricardo - NR - Never played.

Defenders

Gary Neville - 7 - Consistent and reliable. Was good at going forward too. Season was hampered somewhat by injuries.

Rio Ferdinand - 8 - Late arrival after his ban but brought some composure and assurance to the United defence. Commanding figure. Impressive season.

Mikael Silvestre - 6.5 - Sometimes shaky but generally reliable. Decent.

Gabriel Heinze - 9 - My player of the year. Amazing first season for the South American. Never shirked a challenge and gave everything for the team. Very impressive.

Wes Brown - 6.5 - Similar to Silvestre although still has that potential to be so much better.

John O�Shea - 5.5 - Not such a good season for young O�Shea. Needs to improve to stay at the club.

Jonathan Spector - NR - Made a few appearances. Maybe a prospect.

Gerard Pique - NR - One or two appearances. Looks good.

Midfielders

Ryan Giggs - 6.5 - Good season from Giggs when he wasnt injured. If only his finishing was better...

Roy Keane - 8 - Still the hearbeat of United. Some very impressive performances particularly against Liverpool and Arsenal. Commanding.

Paul Scholes - 7.5 - Poor start to the season but came back to form before Christmas and went on a scoring run. Faded a bit towards the end strangely.

Cristiano Ronaldo - 8 - Another very good season from Ronaldo. Has polished some of his trickery and has begun to both score and create more often.

Quinton Fortune - 6 - Nothing spectacular from the South African. Some say he is solid but does very little more often than not in my opinion.

Kleberson - 5 - For a Brazilian World Cup winner, it pains me to see how poor he plays. Looked so much better before. Has to move on.

Liam Miller - 5.5 - Critiscised unfairly in my opinion. Never got many opportunities but admittedly did not perform when he played. Needs more experience. Next season will be crucial.

Darren Fletcher - 7.5 - Starting to look more and more impressive. Great passer. Should score more but a good season all in all.

Strikers

Alan Smith - 5.5 - Disappointing season for Smith. Has never really looked lethal up front although his desire and determination can not be faulted.

Ruud van Nistelrooy - 6.5 - Although missed a lot of the season through injury. Has not looked himself even when fit. Needs to maintain standards of previous season.

Louis Saha - 6 - Always looks talented enough to score lots until he gets injured. Must try and avoid injury next season.

Wayne Rooney - 8.5 - Only 19 but an explosive talent, amazing goals and kept his temperment in check. Should be even better next season.

David Bellion - 6 - Scored a couple of goals at the beginning of the season. Never going to get a good run in the side however.


i pretty much agree with most of them but alan smith is to underrated he didnt get enough chances and obviously looked a little rusty ... given the heart and loyalty this lad plays with ... id sell van nistelrooy over him

you wouldnt be a good manager

i remember when i was much younger [14-17] i was a huge Man United fan, but as i grew older, their most valued players left the team [being David Beckham, Andy Cole, Peter Schmeichel and the others..] and their performance on the field changed from what i saw. they are still good to watch though, but unfortunately, i'm not the fan i used to be..

well look at it this way ... van nistelrooy in my opinion isnt as good as his records suggest ... at his best hes the greatest from the penalty spot by far and onviously the fact he cant stop scoring when hes hot goes without saying but looking at the goals he scores i dont rate him as a fantastic striker who can build his own goals ... he just has that natural strikers instinct and gets in the right place at the right time ... given that hed fetch a lot more than smith would and we could invest in getting someone like maybe torres or cassano who still have their best years ahead ... smith just works his ass of for the team and thats not a qauity many players have today ... anuway saha should be the one we need to get rid of ...hes our jonny woodgate

nah il just follow my nose ... its easy tracing the sweet smell of success

oh man I can't believe they signed Edwin Van Der Sar?!?!?! I hope they don't make a bid for Figo either. True, he is a great player and would benefit United, but for how long he's 32!!!
Let us see what they do with the money they saved by picking up Van Der Sar, Fergie needs to be ruthless and scoop up a few big talents in the mid field. I like Park from PSV, true that he is a workaholic and can produce... something the midfield could not do this year consistently. We need to weed out the recent transfers that have yet to produce also like Liam Miller and Kleberson, Djemba-Djemba had shown some promise in his limited playing time. And I would really like to see Giuseppe Rossi make a debut early next year, he had a great year in the reserves. Before anyone tells me that the reserves are a far cry from the EPL, I will concede that fact. But still a performer of his quality needs a chance to move up and materialize in the league, he is obviously too good for the reserve squad.

GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED

Scaza... that hurt too, you have desecrated this page with the photo of the trophy in 'pool hands. But that's where you live and at least it is on English soil. I know I am american but it's only because my ancestors couldn't hack it over there. I will never forgive them.

i think van der sar is a very good signing since he can serve as a mentor to tim howard ... theres been no owrd on how much we picked him up for althought i reckon the fee to be around 1.5 - 2 million pounds

well we got van der sar and have decalred an interest in Park Ji Sung with PSV giving us permission to speak to him ... however we need to bring in one world class midfielder or defender but dunno if we can currently afford one ...

HAHA excellent signing, Van Der Sar is great ! Finally he's at a top club again !

I am pleased with the signing of Van Der Sar. I think we saved money by signing him, and since we have let's go after Park and save some further money. Any top quality players we can sign will allow us to make that play for the world class player we need. I think if we can shore up the defence with another man like Rio we are set in the backfield. I also think that rather than lose Phil Neville they should use him in his left back role over the summer and see if he can fit in. He has already shown that he is a utility player and capable of moving all over the field. The midfield is a mess at times and will take more than a signing or two to change that. We will see what comes of all this hype surrounding Chelsea and Liverpool also, as they seem to have a great prospective field of future clients.

United made an official bid for Park from PSV. Should have the results of the bid in a day or two. Also with Eto'o being so unhappy with the spaniards we may be saying farewell to RVN and hello to the Barca youngster. I personally hope that we can sway Michael Owen from Real in a trade of players with RVN again my pick to leave. This also would be an advantage for the English National Team. With United holding three top strikers on the English squad playing and training together for the remaining year prior to the World Cup. I shouldn't be so interested in this as I am from the US but I am... it would benefit the club and country greatly.

i cant see eto'o coming to OT in exchange for van nistelrooy ... ruud had a poor season this year due to injury and therefore his value in the market has fallen greatly whereas with eto'o its the exact opposite and we will have to fork out atleast 15 million pounds to have any chance of having a bid accepted ... owen will never come to OT because that will make hm one of the most hated men in liverpool

If they bid and its accepted he will go there. just like smith, ferdiand and rooney.
