    Carrick was never going to be a roy Keane. But he has his own different type of quality which was a joy to watch. He is arguably the most underrated player in PL history shocking to think how underused he was on the international scene. Carrick has been a mainstay in the midfield of a Manchester United team that won 5 PL titles, 2 league cups, 1 Champions League & The FIFA Club World Cup. I remember the season he was signed.. just him and Gabriel obertan… We were fading and fergie signed just these 2…. One flopped the other helped us win back the premier league that season and no one gave us a chance.

    @TMA – Underrated and world class do not necessarily go hand in hand. To say that he is underrated merely means that he is better than most people think or give him credit for

    @TMA – Also, Obertan didn’t sign for United until 2009. Carrick was the only player we signed on a permanent deal that year. Kusczak and Henrik Larsson both came on loan. Many would argue that Larsson did more to help win the title in his ten weeks than Carrick did….

    @killboye – surely you’re taking the piss re Larsson doing more than Carrick to help win the league in 2007???

    @killyboye – Yeah Michael Carrick never got his due considering what he has done for Manchester United over the years.

    … but they would lose their argument.

    Been away in Penang for a few days where the WIFI at my hotel was so slow it could be described as a Carrick connection. Fortunately the hotel staff didn’t try to bullshit me with the argument some here use about Carrick saying “it’s quality but a different type of quality”.

    I see we have yet another Carrick retirement topic. How many is that now. Its like the proverbial turd that won’t flush away.

    Let’s get something clear. Carrick is NOT underrated. The rating is what it is, its a statistic, it can’t be wrong. If Carrick does not have a high enough rating in some people’s view it just means there’s a hell of a lot of people who disagree with them. That in itself is a sign of how good Carrick was. How many disagree about the truly great players.

    Carrick lovers twist themselves into pretzels trying to come out with reasons Carrick should be praised more. I could easily debunk all of those reasons but its all been said before so I’ll sum up with the words of one of the great masters of the English language ……

    Carrick retired years ago, I remember his testimonial. Against Barcelona I think. Been in a wheelchair ever since. Poor lad.
