Speed and Geary are both out for the rest of the season, looks like Speed will retire from the playing side of things for definate but might continue his coaching role.

Geary hasn't played all season and if rumours are to be believed he could be on the verge of retiring himself.

Sun Jihai has a hamstring problem but could be Speeds replacement in the centre of midfield which i think would be a great role for him, he's easily the best footballer at the club and brings a lot to the team.

I should think you've plenty of others.Uniteds squad must be the biggest in the league.
Maybe you could call back Hendrie and Gillespie for the laugh.

Well Geary hasn't played this season and Naughton, Sun or Halford can play right back with Sun or Naysmith the options at left back.

Speed will be harder to replace, i liked him a lot, he slowed the play down and was a huge influence on the younger members of the squad. I think Sun could replace him but i don't think he'd be a leader like Speed was.

Geary isn't a big loss, and although he is still a decent player, neither is Speed. You've done well to get this long out of him.

I love Geary, i would have been tempted to put him in at left back, Naysmith is struggling at the moment.

Geary was awesome! Anyone who can track Ronaldo for 180 minutes is ok in my book!

I agree with nekro- the sooner we learn to live without speed the better, and i think geary is becoming surplus to requirements at the lane.
