And he was similar to Essien. But he hasn&amp;#39;t played a game in ages. I would like for the reason that he is free and his service even though minor would be invaluable. I still think given the chance he will be better than Carrick. I never rated the guy. Sorry. I&amp;#39;d Start Hargreaves, Anderson, Scholes all ahead of him. Even Possebon, unfortunate injury though. The kid has impressed me.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Stephen Appiah</title><link>http://community.manutd.com/forums/thread/199843.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 26 Sep 2008 18:43:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">e364dc51-f0bb-4e59-b892-d54757f0c32e:199843</guid><dc:creator>Eunice Kitcher-Pettaway</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://community.manutd.com/forums/thread/199843.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://community.manutd.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=8&amp;PostID=199843</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;All i have read so far about people&amp;#39;s reason for Appiah is that he is a free agent. Are you guys just clamoring for his services for that reason and his past perfomances with Fernabahce and Juve ? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Appiah has been out for almost a year until his appearance as a sub for Essien in Libya, where Ghana went down by a lone goal. That being said his performance was nothing to write home about.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Appiah is&amp;nbsp;done ! He&amp;nbsp; was a good player once but not today. Carrick is still one of the best and my hero, for all the work he does in the midfield. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For all the Appiah admirers and disciples, watch Ghana v Lesotho and see if you&amp;#39;ll still want him with us. &lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Stephen Appiah</title><link>http://community.manutd.com/forums/thread/181788.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 04 Sep 2008 10:39:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">e364dc51-f0bb-4e59-b892-d54757f0c32e:181788</guid><dc:creator>duza_T</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://community.manutd.com/forums/thread/181788.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://community.manutd.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=8&amp;PostID=181788</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Appiah is a Powerfull, EXTREMELY clever and intelligent Player...he would be great anywhere. &lt;br /&gt;and to be honest id prefer him in United than anywhere alse.

&lt;p&gt;I one player that i really wish that was ours is Michael Essian,what a player,The perfect replacement for Roy Keane.Hes just brilliant.I really carnt believe we missed out on him over a stupid work permit.He would of become a massive fans favourite with us by now and he loved us when we was a kid and look Chelsea then snatched him from under our noses whcih i was very pissed off about,he would of been brillaint for us but never mind,I recken deep down in his heart if we came calling we would wanna come to us.I hope we do as no-one would get past him and has one hell of a shot on him,remember that goal he scored last season from like 35 yards out with the outside of his foot breath-taking i think it was against Arsenal wasnt it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyway i like the look of that guy who plays for Wigan Wilson Palacios who is brilliant aswell and hes only very young and has said he would love a move to us to yeah he would be brilliant for us and he would still have Hargreaves aswell which would be good,or what about Miguel Veloso our old target he would be good also.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Would be a good player against the likes of Boro, Bolton, Blackburn, Stoke...etc and even Chelsea to an extent.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yeahh the&amp;nbsp;more you think about it&amp;nbsp;becomes more appealing nice free transfer doubt he&amp;#39;ll have big wage demands.&lt;/p&gt;
