I'd rather it was coming out of our owner's arses to be honest. Money that is.

Eh? No not really as they're not leveraging the club. But they can't compete with City and Chelsea.

No one can. Stop being ridiculous.

Ahhh..... no they're not, that's a ridiculous thing to say dude. Have they placed hundreds of millions of debt on the club? Have we not got a net spend of ~£70m in less than 2 years despite not being in Europe? Christ, what do you people want, some mythical owner that ****s 24crt gold eggs on the pitch before games?

Good player Rodwell, not world class by any means but plenty of time to improve and having the chance to train and play alongside some of the other players they have should help.

Yes.

[Kenneth]

Stop with this muppetry.

He looked impressive in his first few games - assured, calm, neat touches, good on the ball, looked ready to play PL football from the word go. But I dont think he has really developed that much since his debut.

[peekay]

Also expect the money to be recyled back to Man United with Everton bidding for Rafael, Fabio, Bebe, and couple of other overrated teenagers.

Roberto Mancini's comments on Rodwell

"He is a good, young player. It will be the first time he is at a club that plays to win - it will be different for him," City boss Roberto Mancini said.
