Doesn't really bother me that Tevez went to City. I'd rather he went there than Liverpool or Chelsea, and I would like him to do well there, I was happy for Schmeichel when he was there. It would be good for Manchester if City became a force and squeezed out one of the other big four.

The Owen to United transfer is a funny one because its been something I've been saying to my mates for a couple of years that I wouldn't mind Owen at OT and people generally scoffed at it and said he wasn't a United standard player. I fancied going for him or Anelka in the transfer window a couple of years back but it didn't happen...I'm quite pleased with this move. Reckon he will hit about 15-16 goals for United and get in the England team for SA.

I think it's a Fantastic signing for both parties involved, Dismiss his Injury troubles (Although on paper it is hard to ignore) and you have a top quality Goalscorer there on a Free Transfer on i'd imagine £40/50,000 a week, It is a masterstroke by Ferguson IMO...

Man U fans reaction on fred tissue is funny to say the least.

This the same goalscorer who went down with the toon? or has he been reborn as the owen of 2001.

give over mark, you can't seriously think that johnson is the second choice right back, capello doesn't think so. as for barry thank the lord jesus he has gone to citeh, i have never rated him, and he is just a greedy b'stard who has shafted villa and their fans.

More surely. He seems to have an inflated idea of his own talent.

He's an upgraded version of Owen 2001. Just being in a United shirt and and listening to Fergie will probably make him the best striker in the world. If Chelsea or Citeh enquired about buying him, they'd be quoted a price of 60m.

If he's on a well structured pay-as-you-pay deal then it's a potential masterstroke by Fergie. If he's on 50k a week then Fergie could have just pi55ed 5 million down the drain.

It's ok, it's not his money.

[iIt was reported by the Press Association that Ferguson has struck a pay-as-you-play deal, with the player also taking a significant salary cut from the £110,000-a-week wages he was said to be on at St James' Park. [/i

Looks a poor signing for a club like Man U. Even on a free, with the wages involved I'd suggest it's money down the pan.

Sounds like a desperate signing to me.

Free for a player who was bought for £17 Million, and if he's on pay as you play as well sounds a brilliant deal.

If he's injured then we lose nothing, if he plays he will probably do well. For this transfer to go through he would have needed to pass the medical (which look hard) so that would suggest he is fit again.

Just add the bargain to the likes of - Peter Schmeichel, Roy Keane, Eric Cantona, Bryan Robson, Ronaldo, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

And you slate LWF for inside knowledge.

It's like me saying you spent £18.6m on...what choice midfielder was Carrick back then?

£17m on Hargreaves, a player with chronic injuries.


Absolutely delighted Tevez and Barry have/will go to City, I've seen nothing concrete to show they were our two main targets, but I'll take your word as you only deal with the 'facts'
