Giggs, Johnsen out for season
The season is over for Ryan Giggs and Ronnie Johnsen. Giggs' hamstring
injury flared up again against Liverpool and although Alex Ferguson took
the Welsh wizard off immediately, it was not enough to save his campaign.
The worry for Johnsen is perhaps the greater, Johnsen sustained ankle and
shin injuries following Michael Owens' one man rampage around Old Trafford,
the young striker eventually saw red after his second late, late challenge.
The good news is that there is no break, and there's even been talk of
Johnsen being back for the game against Crystal Palace in a fortnight,
although at this stage such talk is a little premature.
Whether Johnsen will figure again in the Premiership remains to be seen,
but the Norwegian international should at least be fully fit to represent
his country in the World Cup finals in France.
It would be a fitting finale to a superb season if the Norway star is able
pit his skills against the finest strikers in the world.
Greetings and letīs keep the faith forever and ever

Subject: Performance of Jaap Stam from a Belgian Red
Dear fellow Reds,
I have read recent reports on the performance of Jaap Stam in the game
against Sparta. All I can add is that you can not judge Stam on the
basis of this one game.
Belgium has played twice against Holland in the qualifying round for the
World Cup and on both occasions I hate to admit that Stam was my MOTM.
He was superb, both in offence (scoring a superb header) and in defence.
After that game I sent an e-mail to the mailing lists because I had
heard the commentator saying that United were interested in Stam.
Despite the obvious pain of seeing Holland beat Belgium, I was upbeat at
the prospect of Stam joining United.
IMHO, this could prove to be THE buy for the coming years.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hope that United can sign the man,
especially after he has shown so much interest and desire to sign for
United. What a differenct to Babbel who would not sign because he would
not earn enough money. Stam even wants to give up some money to be able
to join United, if that is not enough proof, then I don't know what is.
Greeting from a Belgian Red with fingers crossed!!
Marc

PSV admit defeat on Stam
Tuesday, April 14, 1998
PSV Eindhoven are resigned to losing Dutch international Jaap Stam to
Manchester United.
The Dutch club are desperate to hold on to their highly-coveted central
defender, but they realise they cannot keep him when he is so keen to move
to Old Trafford.
PSV will hold further talks with Stam, who is under contract until 2003,
later this week to try and persuade him to stay for one more season.
Those discussions are bound to fail because Stam has set his heart on
joining United before the World Cup Finals begin in June.
PSV spokesman Pedro Salazar-Hewitt said: 'We've already talked to Jaap Stam
twice and there's going to be another meeting, I don't know when, but some
time this week,' he said.
'The discussions are just to see what Jaap Stam wants and we want to keep
him for at least one year more.
'If he still says that he wants to go and the price Manchester United want
to pay is good, then he will go.
'You can't keep an unhappy player - that's the reality of the situation -
because an unhappy player is nothing. We don't want to sell Jaap Stam, but
we have to think about it because he has said he wants to go.'

Subject: The situation
To: MUFC@LISTSERV.INDIANA.EDU
For the first time, last night Arsenal actually looked like champions. It's
partly unfair to blame Blackburn for the debacle. Firstly they were missing both
Sutton and Duff. Secondly the main problems, and the first three goals, all came
down the right wing where a debutant was playing. Parlour was absolutely
skinning him.
Unfortunately for us, this was one of the games that we'd all marked down as one
where Arsenal would drop points. The last six games played column of the table
makes interesting reading. Ours is DLLWWD. Theirs is WWWWWW. There's still some
hope - we need to win the rest of our games and hope that they drop some points.
Their last two games are difficult - away at Liverpool and Villa.
Do we deserve to win the title? For the performances in November and around,
yes. For our overall performance, especially in 1998, no. We've lost seven games
in the league - Arsenal have lost four. We've lost some games we should never
have lost. Also, Arsenal beat us home and away. Obviously there are excuses -
the loss of Keane for most of the season and Giggs for some of the season being
paramount. The preview of the Blackburn match on teletext said Man U were back
to full strength. What about Keano?
So what are the lessons? It's obviously hazardous ground to go into interpreting
what's happening within the side, but the following comments are I think worth
making.
1. Last season's transfers have been largely disappointing, not necessarily from
a playing point of view, but certainly from a Ferguson "fancying" them point of
view (and I don't use that in a Wenger way!) Both Berg and Sheringham have been
pointedly left out of the team and even the squad recently. I'm not surprised
that Sheringham is said to be angry, especially with the world cup coming up.
For the majority of the last two games we've been playing with Sheri on the
bench, Scholes in the Sheri role, and Philip Neville in midfield. The obvious
move would be to play Scholes in midfield and Sheri up front. Don't get me
wrong, I think that Scholes is great in that position, and probably a better bet
than Sheringham, but it must make Teddy very frustrated. It seems likely both
will move during the summer, especially if we sign Stam. Teddy was always a
short term measure anyway, until Scholes could step up.
2. We need another quality winger, to give more options especially if Giggs is
injured. That was the whole strength of the Kan-Kan/Giggs/Sharpe era. Such
creatures are difficult to find, although I seem to remember a youngster being
touted about a year ago. Overmars, his name was. Wonder what happened to him?
Somewhat depressed
