So fu*king what. Surely, surely, surely, you wouldn't be so silly as to offer this as evidence of Man. United's youth policy. Tevez was already world famous when Man. United signed him.

Im not offering it as evidence but factual relation that Manchester United had sent him jerseys with his name on the back long before he was famous and before you, I would suggest, knew who Tevez was!!! So stop getting mad and trying to smart!!!
I put my case forward for Manchester Uniteds youth policy. History would suggest that my comments on the youth system are spot on.

Tell me what relevance this has to Arsenal's youth policy, or Man. United's. for that matter.

This is an example of scouting, nothing more.

Tapping up I'd say.

They would have had to scout him to know who he was! wouldnt they?

[osarusan]

shanman, what is the point you are trying to make on this thread?

That Aresenal's youth policy is poor?

That Man United's policy is excellent?

That Man United's scouting system is better?

[jebus]

They would have had to scout him to know who he was! wouldnt they?

Maybe Ferguson could have, you know, actually signed him on the cheap back in the days of Tevez's youth if he were such a great scoutmaster then? Would have saved the Old Trafford Theme Park a few bob on the cost of printing his name on a United shirt too

[Poor Student]

Linfield are the most successful team in the world

Nonsense, even Glentoran have more European trophies than you.

First Scott Brown, now Carrick. If you're being serious you're clueless when it comes to football.

I'll be proven right yet about Scott Brown

By the high standards by which he should be measured Carrick is poor, wouldn't get within as asses roar of the starting lineup at any of the other "Big Four" clubs

Scott Brown is a class act, he was wanted by Liverpool and Manchester United. He must have something about him judging by his performances for Scotland and the Champions league so far!.

Carrick would be in the Arsenal side instead of Flamini!
Liverpool side instead of Alonso!
He would struggle at Chelsea because of the way the play.

Maybe Flamini but not alonso, Carrick isn't half the passer Alonso is

[shanman2]

Id argue that the strongest part of Carricks game!

[Stuttgart88]

Both are elegant passing midfielders. I think Alonso is a delight to watch and a better passer than Carrick. Carrick has a better shot. Personally I'd go with Alonso, I think he's a cut above Carrick and is more two-footed too.

[Roadend]

. Carrick has a better shot.

Wouldn't agree with that given that Alonso has more goals since he's been in the EPL, than Carrick.

[jebus]

Lord God, anyone who thinks Carrick is a better player than Alonso is talking, or at least thinking, nonsense, even with Alonso's injury problems he is still a far better player then the latest over-rated Englishman ever will be

Again it just comes down to personal opinion, Carrick is a far better all rounder than alonso who cant tackle wont head the ball and doesnt cover very well. if he did benitez wouldnt of had to play mascherano or sissoko to help cover the defence.

Not really valid considering you're a Man U fan, in the same way I don't take Liverpool fans opinions of their players on board. Basically only neutrals should ever be allowed talk about the Big 4

: And to think you're actually serious. I'll let you in on a little secret, Alonso has been out with a broken metatarsal which he reaggrivated when he came back early and went straight into the first team forcing a yet longer stretch out of action.

Id tell you who I support but you would probably but you nut laughing at me!!

I don't care how long he is out injured just means carrick is not as injury prone which is another plus. Rafa still plays a defensive midfielder behind him!

You're wrong, AGAIN. Lets just drop it, for your sake.
