we spend 18M on Carrick.. still paying over the odds for players even though Kenyon has gone

we were going to spend over 10m on Hargreaves :Yikes:

yes even though we need a striker as we only have two and Saha is bound to get injured soon and Rooney will prob get another ban at some point we won't buy Teves or Torres

Teves has even alked out of his club as we can get him dirt cheap yes we won't go in for him.. could be another target going away.. would rather have him than Treveguet

the first few games has flattered us abit but it showed against Watford we still short of fire power and didn't really kill them off like we should have

Tevez and Torres are to similar to Rooney imo, as for paying over the odds Senna is just as capable as Hargreaves yet cost's 10 million less, I saw an article on Saturday I believe, that said the new sponsors were putting pressure on United to buy British players, I am not sure how much truth there is to that and I can't remember where I saw it. I think you need another striker to Saha is not consistent enough.

Well if one man makes an international team you might be right, I was however comparing the fact that, as he is pretty rubbish he would fit right in at Championship level, you know the Championship where Wales select most of their players from ;) :p:

Did you miss the games in the World Cup where he was one of England's best players on the day?

Funnily enough I thought I was stating fact when I said that the Welsh players were on the whole of Championship standard.

As for claiming he was England's best player during the World Cup I doubt that is an honour any of the squad want and besides it is better to base players ability over time rather than on half a dozen games, from what the footballing public have so far seen very few would try to justify his talent as worth between 13- 17 million, even in Germany it has been reported that he is seen as a good squad player, are British teams in the habit of paying this much for someone seen as a squad player?

Hargreaves is a good player. Not many people in the UK get to see the bundesliga so he was getting judged on 20 odd minutes with England.

After all, if he was that average, you would have thought Bayern would be jumping at the chance to offload him for £10+ Mill

Spurs have signed Mido after his loan spell last season. Should give Spurs some much needed fire power.
