FGS give it a rest and get on with it
Is becks still going back this month???
Hope so.
Did Potl explain his cryptic stuff?
Man U have Rooney & Berbatov
Citeh have Tevez & Dzeko
Arse have Chamakh & Van Persie
Chelsea have Torres Drogba & Anelka
Liverpool have Carroll & Suarez
So, who is going to compete with us for that "star striker" in the summer?
Newcastle?? Sunderland??? Everton????
Make a plan. Decide who we want. Make an early bid & do the deal EARLY!
Until then, we just have to hope we've got enough to get us that Champions League spot.
no, i've been waiting for that too. if he starts with 'riddle me this riddle that' i might explode.
Good points and I agree, the other clubs have shown their hand. We need to identify our targets now and have deals sewn up early.
Strange way to look at it. But if your shopping list contains fillet steak and when your wife realises that the price of fillet steak has doubled overnight then she'll phone with an alternative so you'll at least get something.
However, if she comes home with fillet steak regardless of the price then your over the moon but be pissed off that you havent got any money for the rest of the month.
Agree with this.
As an example, Benzema will probably be off from Madrid in the summer when Higuain is back to fitness. We should be registering our continued interest in him with Madrid and have the scouts/Management team having a good look at him over the next few months to evaluate if he is the striker we need, and then bid as soon as possible to have as little competition as possible.
The only things that sour the transfer window, and Harry and Levy's performance, was the low blow Neville bid and trying at the last minute to sign Charlie Adam. The way we went about those 2 bids seems very amateur.
The embarrassment was Levy's apparent last-minute efforts to buy every half-decent striker in Spain (although the reality may not be quite the same as ITKs and SSN claimed, that's the image that sticks, and will continue to stick).
The question is would Benzema want to play for a club that is more than likely not in the CL next season..... Also come next summer there will be other big european clubs who would be in for him too with the added bonus of offering him CL football. We royally fucked up last summer, and to a lesser extent this Jan as there was not much about, when we did not upgrade the 4 jokers we had upfront. I really am at a lost at what our transfer policy/strategy is now since we binned the DOF. Back then we all knew that we would sign young and up coming players with huge potential. What is it now as J.Cole, Bellamy, Parker, Neville, etc dont fit that bill.....Agree with this.

trifficToday I was told that , we were informed the players in Spain are Not For Sale at any price. we didnt bid, we just get registering interest.
Until the final day, when we did bid knowing they would be rejected.
Hence Harry saying we wouldnt be doing anything,
Pathetic attempt by all.
Can I just say well done to Adie, Rebrab and the other guys who also put their rep on the line to provide an insight! I know as well as you guys know, we aimed for the stars, and didnt even reach the clouds!
