There is no where in that article he is criticising them. He is saying he can't compete.

"So when Sir Alex says 'kamikaze', if he's referring to the way they are going and eating the market then I agree with him."

That doesn't sound like him saying what they are doing is wrong or out of order.

I think Mourinho is too clever to be critical of a big spending team, bearing in mind a) he's been there with Chelsea, and b) he is likely to spend big with Real.

When Manchester United made Bebé the most improbable signing of the summer Sir Alex Ferguson argued there was no risk attached, explaining that "sometimes you just have to go with instinct". Yet a fortnight on, the striker's career at Old Trafford has got off to a false start, his performances in training deemed so poor he was not even considered for a reserve fixture last night.

The first disappointment for Bebé may not be entirely unexpected given the strange circumstances of the transfer. After an undistinguished spell at the Portuguese Third Division club Estrala da Amadora he was available on a free transfer seven weeks ago, but United did not sign the player, affiliated to the influential agent Jorge Mendes, until after he had joined Guimarães, paying the full €9m buy-out clause.
Ouch!

Can't say I agree, he's saying he agrees that they are kamikaze which to me means crazy and reckless. If someone said to me I was crazy and reckless I certainly wouldn't take it as a compliment.

Soemthings not right there for sure.

Aquilani signs for Juventus on a season long loan with the view to a £13 million pound deal at the end of the season, nice bit of business there £7 million loss on some one who never played, unless of course they got a massive loan fee which I some how doubt.

Steven Taylor has been transfer listed by Newcastle, apparently over contract talsk stalling, I'd say it's got more to do with the broken jaw he got from Andy Carrol. Just the type of chap we need to.

It would be really interesting to compare the Irish commentator's reaction to Defoe's handball tonight to that of Thierry Henry's.

Interesting statistic about Jermain Defoe though:

Quote:
19 - Jermain Defoe was penalised for handball 19 times in the 09/10 Premier League - nine times more than any other player. Limber.

Meh. Most players and teams would something similar if such important matters as Champions League qualification or World Cup qualification wasn't at stake.

The Henry thing wasn't really about hand ball, as I said at the time people have done it loads of times before, but just anger at the fact the victims were Ireland and it was France that did it. An English team doing it will not get the same reaction.

Levi won't go crazy. Champions League money is a lot but people over do just how much it is. Also Spurs are anything but sure of a place next year and he will factor in the cost of wages in the event there is no Champions League cash.

I know, that's my point. Such realism doesn't come in to play when it's dirty foreigner or it doesn't benefit a particular team.

The Eduardo vs Celtic dive is another good example. The reaction to that was completely ridiculous.

Re: Football Season 2010/2011
 
There is a very big difference with Henry and Defoe, Henry pushed the ball with his hand, with Defoe the ball touched his arm (technically handball) but it was not deliberate.
