The worrying thing is that Ferguson suggested that he go to swansea rather then us...if that is the case, I don't think we should expect to see any young, up and coming united players ala frazier-campbell, indeed it looks like they're come mostly from chelsea.
Wenger was dissapointed with the lack of matches for Gibbs (which incidentally must have been the reason he started the last 3 games, not because roeder wanted him in the starting 11, because he wanted to get some arsenal youngsters in for next season)
Sorry! i forgot to put the link into the thread!

the point i was trying to make (and to be honest i didnt put it across very well) was the fact that ferguson was telling his player to join a team in a lower division, rather then how good the chap may or may not have been

There might be a logical reason for this, maybe Ferguson thought she was not good enough for the Champ and was better suited to league 2. He was not prolific and more than likely would not have banged in that many with us.
I suppose there is an interesting angle to this as at the time that we were supposedly using Gunny's links with Fergie to tap into the Man Yoo ranks for some loans, but Fergie was possibly telling them to go elsewhere. But then again, perhaps he felt the lad wasn't yet ready for Championship football.
i think the bloke was aiming at the point that the player choose
swansea over norwich?
not how the player performed
Maybe Fergie thought he was more likely to get a game at Swansea, that he was not completely ready for the Championship and that the difference in standard between the top of Div 1 and the lower part of the Championship is not that great anyway. In that scenario, assuming he wanted the kid to get games under his belt, Swansea seems the logical choice.
It's not always a conspiracy guys...

2 starts 19 subs. But if he couldnt even get in their starting lineup....
