So how many of th '99 treble winning team would you drop and replace with todays boys?
ok, the full strength starting line up from '99 would be...
Schmeical
Neville
Johnson
Stam
Irwin
Beckham
Keane
Scholes
Giggs
Cole
Yorke
full strength now is...
Van Der Saar
Neville / Brown (wes has been awesome of late)
Ferdinand
Vidic
Evra
Ronaldo
Scholes
Hargreaves
Giggs
Tevez
Rooney
it's a difficult one actualy :whoops: :laughing:
the defence is definitely better now, Cristiano would oust Becks and Rooney would better Cole i imagine...
i think Tevez has got the potential to better Yorke but it's still his first season at United...
Back to Fergie...
I'd say he's proberly one of the best managers ever...
Not forgetting what he done with Aberdeen in the 80's beating the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona and thrashing the old firm in the league....
Also to be in charge of Man utd for that amount of time is very impressive, i cant see anyone holding that job for as long again...
Just a pity he didn't go to Arsenal though Wenger has proven his worth also...

Schmeichel

Keane
Kanchelskis
Giggs
Hughes
Cantona
It was slinging mud at his son wasn't it? At least you're seeing sense about Mourinho!Quote:

However, looking purely at first XI then you'd be hard pushed to make the argument todays side is better than sither of those two - yet! The potential however is dfinately there!

Imo todays Utd are not as good as the '99 team (yet!!!!) but i think they could be next year...............doubt we'll ever see another treble tho', not from any club.Quote:

not really. I reckon it'd be more accurate to say that it makes absolutely no difference whatsoever to 99.99% of Man Utd fans watching MOTD.Quote:

spose so. tbf Carlos Queiroz is a boring bastard. i never seem to remember what he's said just seconds afterwards. good coach though.Quote:
