Fergie eager to spend the Lucas money

I'm sure it's nonsense, but why did United feel the need to officially deny it to SSN

because "united refused to comment" would cause even more shit?

neymar last day of the transfer window classic saf. We had a good look.

meanwhile lucas will be banging in the goals in france after christmas while we struggle to break down southampton and everton.

Just thought it strange they'd deny this particular story, United are linked with plenty of high profile players over the course of a season after all.

Story was by Custis btw, he's been pushing the whole 'Fergie wants rid of Rooney' line recently. motwyw.

"See that player you have agreed to sell to Barcelona next summer for £50 million?"

"Yes"

"Can we have him now for £38 million?"

"No"

"Oh,well"


At least it proves the funds are there though.

I'd say this summers business proves that point

Is it too late to point out that everyone even remotely associated with Manchester United is a horrific @#%&!?

Explains why we couldn't find that extra few mil for Dembele...

We scored 3 at Southampton and should have scored 5.

Rather we bid for Neymar than Lucas tbh

No chance of us getting him though

What? That we had another £38 million to spend as well if we wished?

Being linked with Leandro Damiao as well

Why all the forwards, are there no midfielders left that haven't moved in the last 2 years at least once?

scored 3 but should have scored 1.

if the game ended in the 84th minute and clyne didn't slip it would have been 2-0 to southampton

The Sun getting the wrong end of the stick when Fergie said there'd be Ney-Mar signings

If Evra doesn't slip and Rafael is 6'4 it's actually 0-0 when the game ends in the 84th minute...

van Persie should've scored 6 anyway, the useless @#%&!.
