I'm sure most of the board could get us to the semis of the EC with the kind of money we've spent over the past 10 years, we need to win it again, if SAF can't do it after spending this money then he should allow someone in who can. Hopefully SAF will do the business but he can't be guaranteed a job for life anymore.

I have said that I think the introduction of Hargreaves will improve our performance against the better teams which will inturn mark an improvement on last year both domestically and in europe. His presence in the squad means that not only will we have a style of player who we have needed since Keano was at 100% we will have genuine midfield options and be less likely to see players absoloutey knackered when it comes to the closing stages of the season.
In regards to Nani and Anderson it's pretty clear they have been bought because of the potenial they both show rather than to be thrown straight into the first team. They'll probably be used sparingly and seeing that we still have Giggs and Scholes who are more than capable of playing well for 30-40 games a season we certainly do have the luxury of letting these two players especially settle over time.
