Or get sucked into fighting for 4th place.

To be fair, and serious for a minute, it is true (without going all Stand Against Modern Football) that it is obscene - but unfortunately the genie is out of the bottle now.

Everyone who wants at least some respect for budgets to be retained in the game

Everyone who isn't completely seduced by fantasy football

Everyone who hasn't given up on football as a sport where good management is rewarded by achievement

Everyone who wants to be able to take some kind of real enjoyment from the sport without being completely over-run with cynicism

Everyone who wants at least some of the players to care at least a bit about United

etc etc etc

Is paying 35m for Aguero or 50m for Torres really more obscene than paying 7.5m for Bebe

Yes. We helped a tramp live his dream.

For me it is the wages and associated agents' fees that are obscene.

Probably tax-deductible too. Everyone's a winner.

You do know that we were taken over by a bunch of American financial opportunists don't you?

Is it worth running those statements again in the context of united and their current owners? Actually, its not to be honest because it makes for some grim realisation.

£100m to spend according to James Ducker in the Times.

Bale to Madrid has died down a little recently, we become interested and then Spanish are saying he's told Spurs he wants to leave to join Madrid.

This summer.

El woody @#%&! won't know what's hit him when he gets into negotiations with Levy

well, he's about to find out because GB is dying to come to United. Might get him next year but even then, it'll be a looooooooong summer.

In the meantime.......

It had been very quiet until we started showing interest though.

Preparing for the exit?

Bale to us or Bale to Madrid and Ronnie to us?

Wiggy being told to stay by Moyesiah cause it's on with Ronnie again?

Maureen telling Wiggy that Madrid would block any Ronnie move to us?
