Took me a minute.

You're not that Barney fella are you?

No, I'm the fun one.

[Darkon]

Benatianofficially signed for Bayern so that's another one bites the dust!

Somethings never change. A woman in the office said she reckons Ronaldo is coming back this year

Man United shares down 2.5% today since it emerged the club had agreed to pay British record £59.7m for Di Maria

Di Maria: "United is the only club I would have left Real Madrid for."
At a time when #mufc aren't in Champions League, I rather doubt that.

WOW: Man Utd have now spent £200m in less than a year:

Fellaini - £28m
Mata - £37m
Shaw - £30m
Herrera - £29m
Rojo - £16m
Di Maria - £60m

Out of all those new signings, would only Di Maria even make our best XI?

Looking at the share price that means it is almost at the lowest level it has been for the last 12 months. And it will only get worse if/when Van Gaal flunks this season

ManUtd £200m transfer spending in last year exceeds annual turnover of every other PL club apart from Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea & Liverpool

[Muddled]

It's an obscene amount of money. And it's not even addressed the issues within the team.

Good player, though you have to question their transfer strategy. With Benatia at Bayern now, who do they go for at CB? How many top quality CBs are going to be available in the last week of the window? Hopefully they'll stick with Blackett.

...and Mata. Haven't seen enough of Herrera to know either way on him. They have obviously well overpaid, but Fellaini is the only one of those who has flopped. The others may show their worth and prove long term successes. I think it's where they have failed to recruit that they have their problems.

Van Persie would get in our first XI, probably De Gea too.
