What do you think about the Solskjær Testemonial? Not the result, but the match in general, the opposing team, the Man U team and so on..

to be honest i only saw the highlights of the testimonal but my brother went and said it was a typical friendly. I went to the peterborough game on monday and watched the juventus game last night.
They reminded me of the opening games of last season, in that with rooney and saha injured we are lacking a striker.
I really rate Tevez but he drops so deep to collect the ball there is no one in the penalty area, campbell scored a good goal against espanyol but was none exsistant against peterborough.
I think we will struggle to score in the opening games, im eagar for munacho to get a work permit but im not sure if thats going to happen. If Tevez was to get injured that would leave us without a proven striker which is pretty shocking.
On the plus side our three brazilian youngsters have impressed Raphael Da Silva and his twin Fabio (right and left back) and Rodrigo Possebon (centre midfield) look like they have a chance of making it.
Invincible:
Seriously I don't understand why Fergie didn't go all out looking for another striker. None of our strikers are natural goalscorers and we can't keep relying on Ronaldo seeing as he is a midfielder. We should of signed Huntelaar especially with Overhead kicks like these:

Chelsea have bidded for Robinho
1) How do they expect to get him for £19.7 when a few weeks ago real said they valued him in teh same bracket as Ronaldo
2) Why after failing to get ronaldo and snijder now injured would they sell him
Chelsea have confirmed they have lodged a bid for Real Madrid forward Robinho.
Sky Sports News broke the news earlier on Thursday and are of the understanding a £19.7million offer has been made.
Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari has made no secret of his desire to link-up with his Brazilian compatriot and now the Blues have upped the transfer ante.
"Further to media reports, Chelsea Football Club can confirm we have made an offer to Real Madrid today (Thursday, August 7) for the transfer of Robinho," read a statement on the club's official website.
Earlier this week Robinho refused to rule out a move to Stamford Bridge, while Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon has openly declared the club's interest in the player.
Real Madrid have repeatedly expressed a desire to keep the South American in the Spanish capital but the recent signing of Rafael van der Vaart does give them amble cover in Robinho's position, even when taking into account Wesley Sneijder's injury troubles.
Robinho was thought to be unsettled by talk he could be used as a makeweight in Madrid's bid to land Cristiano Ronaldo, a deal which has now been shelved.
Chelsea earlier this month conceded their bid to sign Robinho would be their last of the summer should it prove successful

Imo, it wasn't no real testemonial, more like a joke, an ordinary friendly - and imo it kinda disrespected Solskjær. Against Espanyol? Lol.
A real testemonial contains selected players and a selected opponent.

yeah i know what your saying as in special guests, past players etc but there was an interview with solskjaer a few days before and he kept on stressing how important this game was in the build up to the new season.
He didnt want the game to be light hearted but as close to a pre season match as you can get.
