Originally posted by divegeesterit will be interesting to see how man u line up when the season starts. both rooney and van persie like to come and get the ball. will one of them be told to play as traditional poacher as part of a front two, then young will have to go out on the wing? or will fergie switch to a front three with rooney and young coming in from wider positions, similar to when tevez and ronaldo were there.
I guess you Gunners fans will be boosting yourselves for a Europa league spot then?
ill probably eat these words but i cant see rooney and van persie playing well together.

Originally posted by stellspalfieGood point. Although i've seen Berbatov playing in pre-season I can't see that experiment as being a success, so it's likely he will go in January after a couple of run-outs. I'm wondering if Rooney, who blossomed so early, is already past his zenith. Internationally he is a dead loss.

Originally posted by stellspalfieI haven't the faintest idea about managing but admire those who do know and especially those who practice it at a high level. Chelsea's Roberto di Matteo is my current favorite mgr simply because he did so much with so little. He will be one of the best given a full slate of healthy talent. There is a lot of value in not tinkering with what worked last season, though. Yet losing Drogba has got to be a problem no one would want. As for your point about Middlesborough, I know nothing about them, but indeed many teams are a striker away from making noise. Case in point is England.

If ManCity reins in Balotelli they might repeat. Most teams would benefefit from an inhouse shrink! Can't wait for the derbys all across EPL!

his hat-trick at southampton was a great way to settle him into the club, and perhaps their "attack mentality" can be revitalized... which is needed after the defeat vs everton.
I'm no United fan... but I support anything that cripples arsenal, just for the hilarity that ensues... poor Wenger lol
