First of all, it's disheartening to see that the FA are already in and around our 'new' defender Rio Ferdinand. He's been with charged with an off the ball incident in the game on Saturday. Rio has not yet got the rub of the green when it comes to the FA. You might say that Gary Neville and Sir Alex are far better off than him when it comes to those good for nothing panels. What we all really hope for is that they do not ban him for a couple of games. I'm sure the FA could use a bit of his weekly salary. That won't bother us and the player himself. We're starting to get our players back so the last thing we need is suspension as we try to create a cohesion that has been lacking all season.
Sir Alex reckons that United are at full strength. I beg to differ. In my opinion, I doubt we can ever be at full strength without Owen Hargreaves fit. Darren Fletcher is a worthy replacement but again Hargo plays No.6, No.2, No.11, and No.7 as though he was tailor made for each of those numbers. At the moment, I think that City could exploit our right back position if Wes Brown does not feature there. Rafael is bound to make one BIG mistake whilst Gary is a touch slower than any o f the lads he will be up against. In this case it should be Bellamy!
AND of course how can there be a full strength United side without Vidic?
Welbeck is off on loan to Preston--Diouf seems to have impressed one or two people already;he's forced his way up the pecking order and only the starting pair now can claim a place before him.
Then there is that speculation on Sky linking Chris Smalling to United...hmmmm...
