glasgowdon Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Just a thought, this game is a sell out, will any of the money from this be getting reinvested in the squad? Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/1280-aberdeen-v-man-utd/page/2/#findComment-27211
??? Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 is this the squad they are taking up?? dam it, i wnated to see Tevez in action. brilliant player. Being rested after the Copa America last summer, and playing a full season last year. Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/1280-aberdeen-v-man-utd/page/2/#findComment-27212
Kowalski Posted July 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Is the young Scottish lad David Gray still at United? He'll probably head to Babylon on Saturday night. Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/1280-aberdeen-v-man-utd/page/2/#findComment-27213
BobbyBiscuit Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Also was wanting him to play aswell, he is fantastic. he's hardly had any rest though. Played all last summer and the previous one, and has been playing WC Qualifiers this summer already. No surprise he's not there. Thought Danny Welbeck would have been a certain starter, maybe injured though. Also half expected Manucho to be playing, but maybe some problem with work permits etc. Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/1280-aberdeen-v-man-utd/page/2/#findComment-27214
Sonoftherock Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 He'll probably head to Babylon on Saturday night. Was waiting for some sort of remark like that! Is he mean't be to be any good... I don't hear him talked about much and certainly haven't heard his name mentioned within any of the Scotland U21/19s squads?

manc_don Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I'm gutted I can't go, seeing vidic would be awesome. Him and Ferdinand could teach our defenders how to defend. Hell, Shame Edwin wasn't there to teach clangers how to kick. Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/1280-aberdeen-v-man-utd/page/2/#findComment-27219
??? Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 no evra, vandersar, heargreaves either. Evra and VDS both played in in Euro 2008 so are being given an extended layoff. As for Hargreaves, I'm not sure, but I know he was carrying a couple of knocks toward the end of last year.

As for Hargreaves, I'm not sure, but I know he was carrying a couple of knocks toward the end of last year. I don't think he was fully fit in most matches he palyed, i think next season will be a good one for him. Atleast there are a few really awesome players in the team to face us, i know a few who were like "it'll just be the reserves no point going" Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/1280-aberdeen-v-man-utd/page/2/#findComment-27221

How's the traffic next to your house, is it the same as 'Uptown'? I heard that you 'Can't Go Back' along one of the roads in your area. Driving that road 'Over and Over' would turn me into a Zombie, Man' Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/1280-aberdeen-v-man-utd/page/2/#findComment-27223

I don't think the money is going to the first team. Some of it is defiantly going to the youth development side of things.

It isn't, the money usually only goes to the player whos testimonial it is but in this case it's to mark a special time result in the history of the whole team,.

I'm well aware of how it normally works. I was under the impression this was done to honour the team as very few of them actually had a testimonial and that the money raised from the whole testimonial calendar of events was for them. I certainly saw this suggested at some point a while ago, though that may have been incorrect, as I know Simmy is a man in the know.

Yeah i see what you mean and thought it would have worked that way aswell, would have made more sense like and would have been a good thing to do by the club. I alos know that simmy is in the know.
