Good Morning Sir
I haven't read the comments on the board as yet, so I may be repeating a few sentiments and points already made. I must congratulate AC Milan on a masterful display yesterday. My heart was broken, and I had to walk away from the television after the third goal. I have absolutely no excuse. We were thoroughly outplayed by Milan. However, I am very proud of how the manager was magnaminous in defeat. He offered no excuses. Now we can concentrate on the other trophies. After we wrap things up this weekend, we can rest a few players and get them ready for the FA Cup. As you suggested yesterday Mr. president, we were "Kakaed".
I will be putting forward some of my proposals for changes come this summer to the board and the manager. We need to make some personnel changes to prepare us for the next season. Here are some of the areas and changes that I think we need to make to make us a stronger team. Please let me know if you agree.
1. Changing of the old guard - Neville, Ferdinand, Giggs and Scholes. Whereas I am not advocating for a wholesale change, I think we need to bring in suitable and competent cover for these players. Some have just another year, two at most to go with the team.
2. Up for sale - Wes Brown, Gabrielle Heinze, Darren Fletcher, Luis Saha.
Wes and Saha fall into the same category. They are injured too often to work themselves into the team. Because of this fact, I think Wes sometimes cost us games. Heinze is a liability to the team. He is a strong defender, but he doesn't go forward enough to help out in attack. The modern game and our style of playing requires that the wingbacks go forward to support attack. He also gives away too much free-kicks on his side. Heuses his arms in tackles too much and is always at risk of being sent off for dangerous play. Fletcher, I just don't know where to put him on the field. He and John O'Shea is in the same mold. But I think John is a little bit more versatile.
3. We need to strengthen our midfield, and we need a world-class striker. The directors should open up the checkbook and try to get a proven striker, ala Eto. We cannot go cheap on this position. Even though I don't regret getting rid of Ruud, we need a replacement. Someone who WILL give us the 20 goals per season.
These are just some of my recommendations.
