this is what i can't understand about United at the moment

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

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.

that was in the sun.. saying said the United move is off now.. not too sure about him either though.. he's 30 and in 10 seasons one was good all the others weren't so more like a one season wonder

Saha will only get 20 goals if he is lucky, and plays the whole season, which i doubt

Rooney will get 20 odd but will get frustrated being relied on for all the goals and prob get sent off at some point

Ole just isn't the same player since the injury and don't think he will get more than 10.. if that.

Rossi is a great talent but he can't be relied on enough yet as he's too young

Awww, is that the best you can do?

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?

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

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 ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£10+ Mill

Seems little subtlety can be a bit too subtle for some

Had I referred to him as England's best player in the World Cup then maybe you'd have a point

Not my words it was written in the paper on Saturday, that he is classed as an average player at Bayern, I don't know why they don't want to sell him 13- 17 million is a hell of a lot for him
