EPL Season is officially over ! Transfer window looms..

To all football fans, the season is over ! Accept it with open arms that now you can look forward to the transfer window that's looming this coming July 1st. With the respect to your own favourite football teams, I for one, a truly, out and out, nothing then, a MANCHESTER UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB fan.

There you have it, thats the football club that I have supported since I was born. Its been brought down throughout generations of my father's where all my uncle's support the club, my grandpa(even though he recently switched sides to Arsenal! He's old, so he's forgiven to switch anyway he wants.)

Now, the topic is to predict and discuss all the rumours thats been going around on who will arrive and who is going to leave ? With Paul Scholes retiring, I seriously wonder who is good enough to actually take up the mantle from him. He is a legend nonetheless, with the likes of David Beckham, Roy Keane, Eric Cantona and the list can go on..an extremely good passer/long passer of the ball, possesses an eagle-eyed vision to spot players going up the field so he can long pass to them and a goal-scorer from long range during his younger days. He scores much less during his recent seasons basically u can blame it on his age i suppose, but he still can be a handful for opposing teams. There's no doubt that most of us will remember him as a lousy and ugly tackler of the ball(he really is an awful tackler!) but he made it up by passing and vision which people will miss terribly in Old Trafford.

So who is suitable to replace him ? I am all out rooting for Wesley Sneijder. He is the most sensible replacement for Paul Scholes in the long run, he is only after all 26 this year. A very much suitable age for midfielders who needs to run box-to-box and requires much stamina.
