Youtube - Kano & Rio Ferdinand are rock n rollers

Oh dear Rio.

Ferguson: minus £60m net spend this season.

Utd are still expected to win the title though.

To be fair to the weirdo hes a better "rapper" than Kano!!!

You're a better rapper than Kano.

We dont need to spend 10 mill on a back up.

People like Javier Saviola where available in the summer for 0! He as no talent spotting top players.

We've not had a top winger for years. Niko Kranjcar signed for Tottenham for little money this summer. Where was we ?

The amount of players we miss out on is unreal!

Saviola? It seems like you're the one with the problem, pal. Quite clearly hasn't been up to it at the best clubs as shown in his spells at Barca and Madrid. I'm actually a fan of his, but if you deem him good enough for Liverpool or good enough for England, when he's been nowhere near good enough for either big Spanish side, then you clearly have problems judging players. In real life of course, not FM.

Kranjcar signed for Spurs but we didn't have the money, furthermore, who's to say he's what we need? What Rafa wants and if he'd fit into our formation and style? I also like Kranjcar, but we can all throw names out of the hat that Rafa could have bought. I always wondered why we never bought Dani Alves before he was a big name, we could have got him years back for half the price Barca payed for him...

You're right of course. There are plenty of good players out there on loan or having moved as free agents.
Eidur Gudjonsen went to Monaco on a free. Martin Caceres is on loan at Juventus.

We dont have the money because we sign absolute duds like that big greek fairy for 1.5 million when he adds absolutely nothing to our squad!! Danial Ayala is a better player at the age of 20! You say Saviola never made it at the big spnish clubs ? Our famous Greek centre back wasent wanted at Rangers FFS!!

On your note about Saviola. Ask the Barcelona fans if he was a good player, he got screwed with the EU regulations. He scored plenty of goals for Barca and was only loaned out because they had enough south americans at the club (after signing Ronaldinho). He was also a hit with Seville. And from what ive seen of him in his last 2 games against Everton he is twice the player any of our 'back up' players.

We're not moving forward, it is time for a change.

You do know the the owners include contacts as spending money? ie according to them we spent £20M getting new contract deals in Saviola wouldn't be cheap.
Your right Kranjcar was signed for little money then again Rafa wanted Turner (£4-5m) but was told we couldn't afford him so had to go with nick the greek.


Its unreal how many fans are clueless

We're not moving forward, it is time for a change

Yeah lets sack him because after spending £6m on players in two seasons surprise surprise the team aint getting better sure the list of managers is endless wanting to come here an manager for a team which has no money. massive debt and two owners who haven't a clue.'

Torres?
Benny?
Insua?
Reina?
Alonso?

All players who he bought who are worth well more than he bought them for.

Your living in a dream land it wouldn't surprise me if your one of the 2005 bangwagon jumpers

Why thank you

I love the way people go on about "net spend" now as if it somehow justifies the failure of those players brought in.

The fact of the matter is, circa £250 million has been spent and the team is no better than it was when he started. A lot of those sales to make up the difference between income and outcome has come about because that money he spent was wasted and they had to get rid.

Surely a five year mandate would be to get Liverpool to win the Championship. This looks as far away as it has ever done.

What is United's "net spend" over the same period? I bet that will give you a damning statistic on how well Benitez is doing.

PS I know City's net spend over the last 14 months is considerably more but that is not what we are discussing.
