season loan to bolton!!!

henderson anyone?

start kalou!!!!

i think kalou and torres upfront, torres looked more likely to score when with kalou so maybe this is the answer to his first goal

in the summer theres obviously going to be changes, the possibility of carlo being sacked and with the number of players on the wrong side of 30. but do you think we need slight changes in the team i.e. a few players in, a few out and experimenting with different formations OR big big changes spending fortunes and getting rid of a good number of players and maybe a new manager?

sturridge---torres---neymar

i reckon 1/2 more seasons as a experienced sub n then sell

we should have got him in the summer when he was cheap, i suggest it!! but ppl viewd against it

luiz--alex--terry--a.cole

£12 million is a bargain for him!

at the begining of the season i would have agreed with you but imo ferreira must stay, he sets an example to the young player for how to behave and respect the club, plus i think hes got a couple years left in him

alex should start in this game, stoke play with jones, carew and walters up front so we are going to need alex's strength to help in the defence

well whatever the problem is, its needs sorting before the series of united games
