David jones transfer to Derby and Rooney Scores!

Another great night for Wayne Rooney as he scored England’s only goal to earn them a draw. I don’t want to dwell to much on the England game such is the international audience of this blog, but it was a royal 2 fingered gesture to Van Gaal who had the audacity to say that Rooney is not a world class player. Let me ask you this Van Gaal, if Rooney was Dutch would you play him in your team? You don’t need to answer that for we all know the answer.

The weekend is fast approaching and with the game against Sheffield growing ever closer, it is important that the team return from international duties and focus on the task ahead. We all know that there is a gruelling schedule ahead. Ferguson has said as much in his interview with Sky Sports

Complacency is a really important issue to overcome if any club is to win the premiership. The moment you think you are good enough to take your foot of the peddle for even a second is the moment you just lost the league. I think that is the reason Manchester United have been so successful over the years. For many of their campaigns they have had to come from behind, they have been chasing points in an attempt to knock another club “off their f****ng perch” to quote the fiery Scot himself.

So many teams have crumbled when faced with Ferguson’s relentless pursuit for glory and success. Mourinho has had it easy for the past 2 years. His team have hardly had to break a sweat in challenging for the top honours. Meanwhile Ferguson has been quiet, planning his next attack, sharpening his weapons like a true general. He has chosen a moment to attack and yes this is the season. The big question is… can Mourinho’s men stand up and challenge. The game on the 26th will show us.

January is fast approaching and many people would agree that the squad needs strengthening. News that David Jones is moving to Derby on loan with a view to permanent move comes as quite a shock to me. He was meant to be one of our brightest youngsters and we are selling him. What a shame! It seems that we are shipping players out, but not bringing anyone in. I hope that once we qualify for the champions league, funds will be released into Fergie’s war chest so that he can strengthen the ranks further.

The red army go marching on!
