I read that, the guy's a class act and his attitude since coming to United has been spot on.

It is crazy. No doubt in a couple of years Sahin/Khedira/Ozil will be like the Dutch trio of Hunterlaar, Sneijder and Robben who get kicked out.Sahin signed for Real?? How many players do they have? I swear they have a 25 man squad rule in Spain
Surprised no teams have gone for players like Granero/Canales/Leon even if its on loan because they are never going to play now Sahin is there. Not that they played before

And VDV. They just buy players they don't even need. Canales was linked with Arsenal not very many weeks ago but that will probably be rubbish, plus I don't think that signing a Spanish kid who doesn't even play for his team is the answer to our problems.

Next he'll be complaining about how much Chelsea pay for their players.
Fergie wants a defender / centre half by the looks of things - but from a "midfield" point of view I would heartly agree with your centiment , although I would take both if a TOP quality midfielder was added to the pair mentioned (unlikely I know but even so),
Also if Nani, Park and Valencia are all kept and added to with Young, it isnt so bad, but if Utd sell one of the three then its a complete waste of time imo
How about Pastore, (Alexis) Sanchez , Adam and Young and Enrique.....
(Im excluding De Gea as that SEEMS like a done deal, and we are really only discussing outfield players) That would be a great summer......although I know Im dreaming lol
If Berba cant score for toffee when the team really need him to - then while the attitude being spot on is commendable, does it actually matter (that much)?
Its not even as though his assists rise when his strike rate goes down - they both fall thruough the floor.
Shame he has been royally shafted a lot of the time
Thats debatable to say the very least. He has never been a regular scorer for Utd in three years . Yes he did very well this season........and yet scored in 5 or 6 seperate games (and over half his EPL tally was in 3 games). I feel for him, for sure, but think "royaly shafted" is wayyyyyyyy too far

I am not shocked. Just saying its mad they have so many good players.Manchester City fan in being shocked by another team buying needless players?
I can think of only the one needless player since our takeover that was pointless. All the others have been good signings that worked until they were replaced arguably with better players.
Other then the trillion different strikers you mean?

And the 16 defensive midfielders. I bet that Toure, De Jong and Barry combined probably cost more than the entire 25 man squad of some of the bottom half teams.

Yeah these rumours had been around for a few days. With his heart condition he really can't be taking risks. He really needs a nice long break if not retirement. Good luck to him.

Like the guy a lot though he really needs to retire for his own sake.
Punditry has its own fat cheques he should settle for those instead.
Tevez, Balotelli, Adebayor and Dzeko? Yeh a trillion :/
Well name 6 pointless transfers that we have made then.
I only have the one. Roque Santa Cruz.
You must mean the one actual defensive midfielder we have who is De Jong and then Vieira for backup. Toure is not a defensive midfielder, played there for Barca so he suddenly is a defensive mid
and Barry although has played there does not sit deep like De Jong..

I hope there's truth in the Sevilla £8,000,000 bid for Denilson.
Diaby can **** off too. The guy will run past three defenders with some brilliant footwork and then just run into someone and lose the ball. Also crap in the air considering he's 13 feet tall. :/
Thats a bit unfair, he's one of Utd's most dangerous players at corners
IF we get 8mil for Denilson I'll laugh my head clean off. He did look really good before his missing year with us, then came back a absolutely useless defensive midfielder, before then he looked a (potentially)great attacking player.
Arsenal should ditch, Diaby, Denilson, Song, Sagna, Squillaci, Kos simply because they aren't good enough. Sell Nasri, Chamakh while we can get good value for them, sell Eboue, Almunia because they simply aren't getting anywhere near the number of games guys on their wage should be getting.
We should also trim the youth squad, how we still pay Randall or Hoyte money I don't know, Randall made his first appearance almost 4 years ago and has made a whole 3-4 other rubbish appearances since. Our reserves/youth are becoming as stagnant as our first team, rather than ditch the underperforming players, getting new young players in or simply saving the cash we just keep giving them contracts.
