Carrick is simply not good enough.........he is not an attacking midfielder or a defensive midfielder, he reminds of Jamie Redknapp average and overated. They could have got Carrick for a fraction of the price years ago same goes for Van Der Saar , Joe Cole, Defoe and Lennon.
Fergie scouting methods need to be question as lately they have produced nothing only Heinze but Stevey Wonder would have seen how could he was.
gone are the days when players like Ole and Ronnie Johnsen have been signed and turned into bargins unlike nowadays with players like Klebersen, Djemba Djemba , Miller, Ricardo and perhaps even Evra. Questions marks still hang over Smith...he gives 100% but is he talented enough?
