Eh? The most nonsensical point I've seen made on here.

4 players, half of whom don't play regularly?

so Adkins in the the report I posted says hes utilising young players and you saying hes talking nonsense

or did you ignore that bit
"Nigel Adkins says the Club will continue to 'nurture' the young players"
Im sorry if the relevance of the article confuses you
thought it was self explanatory

the point being whos to say ours wonrt become blades legends
thats the joy of using young players

when man utd started using those 4 no one had heard of them,
thats why the quote came about wouldnt you agree
the quote came after a 3-1 defeat at villa for man utd ie their kids werent proven then
 
I think he has to say something along those lines considering how much we spend on the youth academy, hopefully he does keep playing youth, a few players with drive to progress their career cant hurt.
 
I watched the fergie documentary/ interview last night. Thought he came across really well and in comparison to the Rooney one the other week shows that he has some charisma about him.

I've always liked Fergie, not his man u sides because of the favouritism they got. But his ability to rebuild and reinvent his team when they dropped below the standards they set themselves. He's had luck but also knew what he wanted and achieved it.

Everything you read about him, he comes across as a genuine guy.

However, he must've got the 'wisdom of geese' thing from Adkins. Seems that fergie used two iconic images to demonstrate team work - rockerfella workers sitting having their lunch on a steel beam in the sky and the formation that geese fly in.

Worth a watch on BBC iPlayer
 
10 years ago, the bloke who ran the local pub had a big win on the lottery. If I use the same numbers as him, I'll win it this week.

Care to share the numbers?
 
Examples of young kids winning a league = 1
Examples of young kids not winning a league = 14,852 (1878 to 2015, Europe, Asia and South America only)

The comparison you've made to Liverpool is the nonsensical bit.
 
But if you don't sell 'em you could build this:

Howard
Walker Maguire Jags Naughton
Lowton Williamson McDonald Quinn
Evans Sharp

Bench/Squad of:

Brayford
Long
Done
Blackman
Flynn
Adams
Harris
Baxter
Reed
Murphy
Killa#
Tonge#
Monty#
Kennedy*
Coutts*
Wallace*

# We'd be all debating why we were hanging onto the old un's
* As now we'd be discussing fitness.

Goalie: With a back four like that the forum would be in meltdown everyday about the weak link in the squad.

We certainly wouldn't be spending our fifth year in the third division.
 
you'll never win anything with kids. .unless of course you add Schmeicel, Bruce, Pallister, Cantona, Kanchelskis and Keane
then you might have a chance
 
its a case of getting a squad of youth and experience
man utd , had a very experienced goalie dennis irwin bruce and pallister and mark hughes down the spine , with the kids doing all the running
no team has or ever will win the league with a side all under 21

our hope is our yongsters come through
4 maybe 5

no one never ever uttered it would be the entire team

if it was debated properly instead of the old inane garbage thrown up all the time
yes weve sold players
but man utd sold Ronaldo
liverpool sold suarez
saying we sold murphy in comparison is fucking laughable

Hmmm, did I say 'never play' or did I say "don't play regularly"?

FFS, you even quoted the post!

I pointed out that 3 of the 4 players clearly do play regularly. 8 games is 66% of the league games. I havent even counted the cup games they have also played in.

You said "4 players, half of whom don't play regularly". Where I come from 3 out of 4 is Three Quarters or 75%. What you should have said was "one of them" or "a quarter of them" but decided to make up total bullshit.

Try not to hurt yourself clambering down from you high horse "ffs"

No, what you did is misquoted me while trying to be clever and it backfired.

Missing 40% of the games would hardly count as playing regularly.

It was a valid point, which you've attempted to twist by misquoting. Bit tricky when you include the post you've misquoted!

Of course they're regulars.
Howard Freeman Collins Edgar McEverley Baxter Basham Sammon & Sharp are the only ones that have played more. The first 4, when fit are certain starters at present. So too are Sharp and Basham.
Adams, Wallace and Reed are clearly 1st teamers. They have also played in 75% of our league games. That isn't twisting anything.

I'm not sure what you're getting at with the original quote.

Yours says half of them don't play regularly. I quoted it showing that only 1 of them doesn't play regularly.

I'm struggling on this one o_O

So just the 9 players play more games?

You keep making up points that I haven't said. I haven't said they aren't first teamers.

It's a very simple point. I've no clue why it's such a struggle to comprehend.

The 9 players who have played more would be the first names on the team sheet for anybody managing the club (with exception of McEverley maybe). Adams, Reed and Wallace are then the 3 players who have featured most for the club in the positions that are "up for grabs".

"half of whom don't play regularly?" is the phrase used. 8 from 12 is regular in my eyes.

Shall we leave it there?

My original point has been somewhat lost in the misquoting and semantics that has gone on since.

The OP compared our team to the Liverpool squad of "kids" won the title.

I pointed out the large difference as we only mentioned 4 'kids' from our squad and those 4 kids do not start every week.

Ergo, they aren't all playing regularly.

Yes. Let's leave it there.
