So add Mata to the list:

rooney
bale
mata

anymore for anymore?

iirc dunk didn't want RVP at first either did he?

He's no Nuri Sahin that's for sure.

Did and does tbh. Don't like us buying players from our rivals, still don't. Once someone has played for City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea or anyone of that nature I don't want them at OT generally. Just buying the top scorer from one of our rivals, one already in the peak years of his career is a City-esque move.

And a top CM or 2 would've still been a better long term bet than RvP.

I wanted Sahin on loan or something, so not the same tbf.

We are a year too early........ Reus will be next summers transfer saga, It will be on and off all summer till he signs for Madrid...

He was only there a season so it wasn't too bad with him. Plus, I was about 12 at the time and dgaf.

15+ goals and 20+ assists

Agreed. Can see him being pivotal in that number 10 role.

I've never had that child like desire to want the top players from all our rivals tbf.

I'd wanted United to sign him since his first season at Newcastle, and I never really saw them as rivals either, tbf. Same with Blackburn. Plus, he was about 23 when we signed him, hardly in his peak years.

full pre season behind him and with Rooney and Van Persie in front of him....

Him and Herrera and hopefully Vidal

Shaw and Young providing width and pace ...

£#%&! this season is going to be sexy

How is it?

Up until RvP we hadn't signed a player from Chelsea, Liverpool, City or Arsenal since Viv Anderson or Mal Donaghy or someone equally ancient. Maybe Tony Coton. It's how it is in this country, It's only City and Chelsea with their monopoly money that has changed it.

I hate that culture in Italy where the Milan clubs swap players all the time £#%&!ing ludicrous. Once they are the enemy, they stay the enemy.

I seem to recall City getting slaughtered on here for signing up all Arsenals players as they were cheating, weakening teams they were hoping to usurp. And Munich get plenty for stealing players from anyone who even dares to rival them in Germany...

We could, in theory, go and buy Aguero, Kompany and Toure from City and then annihilate them. Personally, I'd rather we left them there, found players from elsewhere and annihilated them without weakening them.

Tell us again Sparky about how much you rate the likes of Jones and Welbeck.

Shut up you absolute £#%&!ing turtleneck.

Mata was a blatant panic buy, tbf.

And then we stuck him out on the wing FFS

"Borussia Dortmund has noted with some irritation that Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is currently discussing internal BVB matters in a three-day rhythm in the media,” read the statement.

"We are sure that it is quite clear to anybody interested in football what intentions lie behind such remarks.

"Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is also fully aware that his behaviour is only going to further damage an already tense relationship between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich.

"Naturally as employers, we are going to continue to follow our principles in future and not discuss any details of our employees’ contracts in public."

Deffo moving this summer now everyone knows how much.

What a @#%&! that it won't be to OT

Vidal
Blind
Hummels
Reus



The rest may as well have £#%&!ed off home

lots saying signed for madrid..................atletico.

surely not
