Hope we have been clever enough to insert a buy-back clause. We might need to use it.

Wouldn't surprise me if he chose a rival over us.

I said 'liked' though

Nice edit, but you won't trick an eagle.

So if we dont expect a top four finish we are doom mongers? WTF.

I look forward to the season, everything looks good, I like Brendan a lot, but I think the competition will be even harder and we have the CL to contend with for the first time in BR's career.

Let's not forget that BR didn't set the Europa League alight...

I was thinking about fixture congestion etc.

I just find it odd that if you don't predict a top four finish you are a doom monger.

[wiw]

Don't think it's happening though. I'm being realistic, not doom mongering but, Man U already had a decent backbone, they just had a crap manager. They're adding very well to it and I'd be amazed if they weren't up there just behind Chelsea and City.

Arsenal have a hex on fourth which means we finish VVVV

We just need another player to build the team around (it's really that simple ). We're going to get absolutely mugged off considering everyone knows we have £75m to spend but let's go and buy the best player we damn well can - which is surely exactly what we are going to do. If it isn't Sanchez, so be it. Let's start splashing the cash

[wiw]

This has been the plan all along anyway, right? Buy 20-24 year olds, get the best out of them, if they want to leave then sell them for profit. We're making £50m profit. Fifty million quid!

I'm kind of hoping we don't build a team around any one player. I find it irritating that sometimes the game isn't going your way, but you can't sub certain players, like Luis and Gerrard for example, although to be fair our subs were Aspas and Moses, but my point stands.

[captainfog]

Man Utd don't have Europe, are buying well and will have a good manager, City and Chelsea are given, I suspect we'll lose out Arsenal, Spurs will be up there as well.

Are they? Who have they bought?

Man Utd won't finished top 4

[Gibbo]

Potential and non-Spain international

OK, maybe should have said seem to be I think Herrera will be a good buy, and they will definately buy one or two central midfielders and central defenders.

IMO Shaw isn't an upgrade yet, but Herrera and LVG are. I think LVG is worth 10 points by himself, over Moyes that is. If LVG can get the best out the players they have I make them a threat next season.

I see what you're saying..i agree but i guess what i mean is, let's buy a player that is so damn good it would be mad not to build the team around him We are definitely improving the quality we have from the bench in the meantime.

Well.....if he so damn good then we have to build a team around him

He's the fence sitter du jour all right.

**** off Chris, I said I think we'll finish 5th. Massive exaggeration to liken 5th to 10th. I'd love us to finish higher, we might finish higher but I think we'll finish 5th.

Me too. I think this has really set us back. It won't be a disaster, have faith in the manager, but the vast progress we were making will be a blip on a non-linear improvement over the next few years.
