EG, regardless of whether the Modric thing has any legs (probably not) I'd say Carrick is currently held at net book value for accounting purposes. After clubs buy players they typically write down their value quite heavily each year as their contracts get closer to expiry. If they were to sell him now, they'd compare the sale price to his current book value rather than his original acquisition cost, no?
Surely Man U would be able to offset any future operating profit in the next 50 years tax returns against the amount of interest they have to pay on their mega debt.
The captain of Stuttgart and nearly 50 caps for Germany. Life after the premiership. ;)Quote:

The long-serving Red Devils boss has hinted Darron Gibson could be given a more prominent role with his game improving all the time.
"We had Fletcher and Scholes back for Wigan so it was just a matter of freshening it up," he continued.
"We are also trying to push Darron Gibson on as much as we can because the boy has improved at a fantastic rate of knots."
Wow neat.
I mean honestly, that is exciting, the Man U manager saying he has "improved at a fantastic rate of knots"
Good News. We can all agree on that. Good job, Gibson.
i agree Crosby but he's done this before only to sell the player shortly after. Not saying hes not being genuine just be wary of ANYTHING the red faced scot says...
actually, for whoever said it, the ronaldo fee was not in installments and united got the whole whack of cash all at once
He wasn't even on the bench for the debacle at Old Trafford.
Not surprising. Why would he be on the bench for every match at a club like Man Utd? Not even Rooney makes the bench every game for United.Quote:

August 16 vs. Birmingham: 90 minutes, 1 goal
August 19 at Burnley : 90 minutes
August 22 vs. Wigan: 70 minutes, 2 goals
August 29 vs. Arsenal: 90 minutes, 1 goal
He's usually sat for non-important games. Would have been nice to see Gibson on the bench for a game of magnitude.Quote:

I think he always just seems to do enough without ever grabbing a hold of the game and bossing it, has a good strike off the ball to be fair to him,
Yeah, this is what I mean. I'm not sure if he doesn't have that extra gear elite players have, or if he's just lazy...Quote:

"So it is going to be a real headache but it is a good one. Someone like Darron Gibson, who I think is an exceptional young player, is having to bide his time but he will get opportunities I am sure of that as the season goes on."
He must be unreal in training.
LOL - in fairness i was thinking the same thingQuote:

gibson out too. another 5 more injuries and maybe andy reid might get called up:rolleyes:
Just as a matter of interest, who has Trap called up to replace Darren Gibson? He replaced Steven Reid with Martin Rowlands, Caleb Folan with Noel Hunt, I haven't heard if he has replaced anyone for Darren Gibson.
think the squad was already 27 players, and he didn't think Gibson needed to be replaced with Miller, Whelan, Rowlands and Andrews available to him.
He must still be recovering from his previous "groin problem". Not even on the bench for Manchester United away to Barnsley in the Carling Cup today.

I realize he is still young, and hasn't got a good run of games at central midfield, but those are my thoughts on Gibson so far.
Gibson was tidy enough tonight, looked more of a player than Carrick who replaced him but I don't know if thats saying a lot.
Rustu, our old nemesis from 10 years ago ended up in goals for the Turks.
That's 10 years ago now, my God! :eek:Quote:
