you know, I understand that you're pissed because of his reaction, but what do you honestly expect if you come in here and declare that Carrick isn't as good as Scotty freaking Parker? I mean - I have read and heard a fair share of football-related nonsense, but that has to be in the top 5 for me. Carrick is not the second coming of Jesus Christ, but he's a darn good central midfielder and behind RvP, he was probably the most important player for United last season. The lad is seriously underrated for what he brings every single game.
And of course United went for Fabregas. Carrick is not the problem, it's the position in midfield beside him. United need a box-to-box midfielder in addition to Carrick, it's as simple as that.
Oh, and by the way - if you think that Paul Scholes was better than Carrick last season, I have to doubt that you watched a single United game in 2012-13.
