what, fucking what?
too old for the price, doesn't fit with the recently stated policy of only spending big on young players, apparently Berbatov was the last of such deals.

fair enough just pointing out that he has probabley got 5 years left in him at least. Not many players stick around for longer then that.
He is a quality player and any team would be lucky to have him.

aye you get 5 years and then no resale value though, also isn't he not a bit of a twat behind the scenes?

like spurs wouldn't give you 15million for him 5 years time!
no idea about him on twtishness level can't be that bad though he has been at barca for ever, you'd have thought one manager would have shipped him out by now if he was a complete bellend.

weren't they tried to ship him out before the start of last season?
anyway I'm not bothered, I think Owen was a decent enough addition cos he knows he's a squad player (unlike a certain uppity overrated Argie) and his experience can be useful to the young players coming through.
I'm actually looking forward to the new season, see how the team lines up and plays together, see the youngsters make more of a break through.

Suspect that has gone to the Galziers...given Fergie's statement yesterday about not spendning anymore money. The money spent on Obertna and Valencia was just from the normal transfer fund - I am suspecting now none of the Ronaldo money will be available.
I might be wrong but it just feels that way to be. Fergie says it's becuase the transfer market is over inflated...he's right (we have just spent £17m on Valencia!) but I suspect that is not why he is not spending more money.
I think we are looking weak; especially in midfield. I am also not convinced that even with a fit Owen and with Rooney and Berbatov improving their goals ratio we will have enough goals in the team to be favourites this year.
DRINK?

Cos Fergie always speaks the truth in press conferences
I'm not fussed if they don't sign, if the right player is out there then they will spend the cash, one thing you can say about the Glazers is that they have always funded Sir Alex's transfer targets...we shall see

Yeah maybe you're right, we'll see. I agree on the Glazers funding transfer targets so far. I still think we are a way off having a team which will compete for 2 or 3 major trophies next year though.

What cos we have lost an overrated Argentinian headless chicken and Ronaldo (admittedly the best player in the world)?
Anyone remember the summer before 2006/07, when Chelsea were buying every muthafucka under the sun and United were being laughed at for only buying Carrick, everyone was saying United would be lucky to come 3rd?
I can see Rooney, Berbatov and Owen making up the goals this year, especially with service from more traditional wingers.
I really can't state enough how overrated Tevez is though, my mums dogs have a better first touch and certainly more passing awareness.

Feb 2007 – Benitez on Everton after 0-0 at Anfield:
"When you play against the smaller teams at Anfield you know the game will be narrow”.
April 2009 – Ferguson on Benitez’ comment:“He called them a small club which points to his arrogance”.
July 2009 – Ferguson on Man City:“They're a small club with a small mentality”.
The ironic thing is that Benitez didn't even call Everton a small club. He went for the 'if the cap fits wear it' angle. Ferguson used it as ammunition against Benitez then, a few months later, goes 2 steps further in dissing his local rivals. A tad contradictory no?
Classy guy.

Demento called Man City arrogant.
He might as well of called Mark Hughes a Scottish, purple nosed, senile, demented fool who regularly shits his pants.
Is one half of the defence back on the crack?
