All this Carrick talk really makes me laugh... it was the best bit of business this club had done in years selling M Carrick for 18.6M. People still think it was about Carrick at Spurs when truly it was a collective combination of players like Edger Davids who fails to get any recognition and Jenas goals.
It was the best bit of business for the accounting side of the club. For the footballing side it set us back big time - to a state that we haven't recovered, and which ultimately saw us lose our manager, which gives us another 5 year plan.
Causation theories can be ****s - this one is no exception - but everything was going pretty well until we let Michael Carrick go.
Carrick can't even get into the United team. His been over hyped by Spurs supporters.
It's difficult to play when your injured. And no, he was one of the midfield greats to go up there with longer servants of our club. It's a shame we parted ways, as I have no doubt he would have played himself into a starting role in the England team.
