if rooney has a bad season we wont win the title..we are pinning all our hopes on one player each season.

That's funny, I could swear I remember winning the title a few years ago after Rooney had the worst season of his career.

People slating Cleverly obviously don't have a clue about football. Its not about scoring a screamer from 30 yards then not doing anything for the rest of the match (*cough* Gerrard *cough*), or play a few crossfield passes over 70 yards that make a good footballer. In the modern game its about keeping possession and making space. If ye watched great midfielders like Iniesta and Xavi, 95% of their passes are very ordinary. Pass, then move. Cleverly is in the exact same mould as these lads. He makes so many good runs, gets in great positions, puts in a massive effort in pressing. I don't know whats wrong with ye idiots. This is the modern CM. This is what we're lacking and ye're saying he's average. Capello and Ferguson see amazing potential in him, two of the most decorated managers for a long time.

Young is a sub standard player imo! non existant in the Euro's just like Cleverley in Olympic side. I'm sorry but no way is Tom Cleverley the future of this club, he's a remould of Darron Gibson, average! For that reason I'm pretty glad we signed Powell, just like I'll be really glad if we sign Lucas.

Haha love how Cleverley is non existent in the Olympics, then mention Lucas..

1. the team is playing a bit rubbish

2. Clev is a good (if not slightly boring type of) player

It is just finishing we created sooo many chances.

I feel your pain mate, I was expecting a flourish of goals this preseason but I am seeing nothing, for the first half, I understand that we basically went with our reserves and a few first team players, but for this part, nil nil draw is unacceptable, but in all fairness, the lads just came back, so lets be patient. We will see how they will do against barca.

The pre-season annoyances that get under my skin are comments such as those in this thread.

*snap point thumbs laugh! Nice one mark!
