        Dont think so. Scores a boat load of goals where ever he has played.

          He scores a lot of goals but he's a limited player, I think. Not much pace, not very mobile...very few strings to his bow. I'd laugh if they spunked £60m on him. Not even half the player Suarez is.
          Thanks very much for being

            What is the obsession with wanting to appoint all their former players? Surely having so many long serving players complaining that this isn't how we used to do things and running off to talk to Ferguson about anything and everything is part of the problem. Either you appoint a new manager and let him do the things that brought him success or you make an internal appointment and replicate what went before, you can't have it both ways.
            The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

He compares that to United who have only spent an average £14m (NET obviously) since Ferguson took over (so back in 1950, when the record transfer was £2.50).

              Anybody else see that, what was his point? I obviously only seen teh shorter version which didn't make much sense.
              Typical manipulation of statistics I guess he 'forgot' to mention that Moyes spent over £60m on Fellani and Mata

                I imagine the conversations between Keane and Fergie would be polite and cordial!!

                  If these reports are accurate then they will try and spend their way out of the hole. Say Cavani for 60, Shaw for 30, Kroos for 40 and Fabregas for 40. That's 170 million just there on just four players. I have doubts over Cavani in the Premier League, Shaw is not the best at defending but the other two would be good, although there is no guarantee. That leaves the Rooney problem and the crazy wage they are going to dish out as compensation for the players missing out on the CL.
                  * The above is posted in my opinion. Feel free to disagree.

                    It's quite ironic really that Ferguson said about 18 months ago that Liverpool were 8 players short of winning the title. Now we're almost there and they are 8 players short of winning the title themselves.

                        I have this funny feeling the Great Manure F**k Up is going to continue even without Moyes ... depending on who actually takes over i suppose

                          3rd place. Worst champions ever.

                                The Mancs who sit behind me at work have been talking up Giggs for the role permanently.
