big shoes to fill…

Carrick will be revealed to the press as a Man U player tomorrow. Furgeson has confirmed that he will be wearing the no. 16 jersey left vacant by the departure of Roy Keane. Replace Keane ? NO way ! History tells us that no United star is replaceable. Take a look at Cantona, Hughes, Best, Charlton…no one comes close to these stars. However with every new player comes a new style, a new angle of play, a new ambition, a new goal, a new passion. That is what makes this club so great. Legends remain legends, new players hope to be legends one day…

anyway, here’s the deal…with the current set of players, Furgeson does not need any new signings. The current squad is more than capable of tipping Chelsea of the throne. With Carrick playing as a holding midfielder, Scholes can get forward more often and feed any of the 4 forwards – Rossi, Rooney, Smith, Saha. Giggs and Ronaldo can exploit the flanks with Hienze and Gary providing support. Then there’s Rio, Brown, Silves and Vidic who will fend off any attack before it reaches Van De Sar. We are not short of reinforcements as well – 2 hearts Park, petite Evra, utility men O’Shea and Fletcher, supersub Solskjaer and young guns Pique, Richardson, Jones, Bardsley and Miller.

i say that we have a pretty good chance. We have to believe and want the title more than the chasing pack. Here’s to United !!!

Glory Glory Manchester United !!!
