first off, nice thread mate
anderson looks a class act but i think fergie will opt for experience once scholes is fit. Anderson will play some too but i think scholes will be the first choice.
brown seems to be anxious and insecure about his place at united. He cant play in his favored position due to rio and vida and with pique staying put, i doubt brown will get many games at CB. He is then forced to accept RB or a place on the bench. I think he is stalling because he prefers to play as a CB and he knows that he wont be able to push neville if he does eventually get back to fitness.
11 years of service isnt bad and i would rather he stays than leaves but he isnt irreplaceable, and he knows it. He wont push neville for a place if neville is fully fit and in touch.
