Man Utd first team squad depth and Smith transfer to Aston Villa!

Tonight sees us take on Copenhagen in Denmark. With Chelsea and Liverpool all but through, we must go out there and seal our qualification to send a message out to the other competitors. We will be without Neville, Giggs and Saha, but this should not worry us, rather give some of the other players a chance to shine!

I was watching the Chelsea Barcelona game last night and was thinking to myself.. Chelsea have so much depth in class in their team, can we really compete? Then I thought to myself of course we can! Players like Darren Fletcher, Wes Brown and Ole Solskjaer are massively under-rated by other clubs. We have fantastic squad players and backup for our first 11. Ok it may not be quite so star studded as Chelsea, but they can do what’s important and play football.

Many of our youth team are developing at such a phenomenal rate. Fletcher in particular has proved many of his critics wrong with some fantastic performances this season. We have players like Ritchie Jones, Pique and Rossi to come through and I for one am excited about them. We don’t need an endless bank balance to perform, instead we buy a few key players and mix them in with young talent that has potential. That’s the way we have always done it and long may it continue!

Tonight I hope to see Smith get a chance. There were rumours on theMan Utd news forum yesterday that Aston Villa were poised to make a £6 million bid for the Yorkshireman (Thanks insane logic for the news). Sorry but firstly this is no way near enough for a player of Smith’s Calibre and secondly he is an essential squad player recovering from injury. He needs a chance to really play at United!

Last but not least Quatermiler found this rather hilarious commentary from the Liverpool game. Watch it and laugh!
