I can't see Man U improving on last season, our rivals have strengthened their squads, and ours appears to be weakened. I realise there are players coming back from long term absences, but at the moment, I forsee a less than impressive season ahead.

At least they get to visit our new state-of-the-art stadium! I went there on the Weekend. Nice, massive, excellent new stadium

He is not a bad player but let's be honest he is no Roy Keane is he, hideously over priced as well

lol

I'm not convinced about this signing to be honest, he seems a bit over priced to me, but let's see how it goes.

I like Carrick - too good for Utd though. lol

kronas · 31-07-2006, 00:34

15-17 million pounds

i think SAF has lost it, id rather buy a proven centre forward or midfielder with that money..

No I don't. I really do think Carrick is worth that. Great engine, gets stuck in and passes the ball extremely well.

Just don't want a player I like to sign for a team I can't stand.

Well, I'd love to comment on who is and isn't good enough to play in your current team, but I can't seem to find too much information on the lower leagues.

Damien · 31-07-2006, 00:45

15 - 17 million? Chel$ea could outbuy that, They properly go around refering to each other by their transfer price.

Seriously though, United spent a lot of money but they did better before then. I.E They did not buy their success. Arsenal spend so little on players so we did not buy success.

Chel$ea really did buy their way to the title. What good can this be doing to the game. Money was in it before of course, but this really is a direct link between money spent and points gained

Ah, not long before the "your team is ****" lines?
