Is the cash really there to spend? (a thread of doom)

He is a great, out and out goalscorer. A proper number 9.

As for "Pavel". Good on Football Manager?

Been found out big time moving to Madrid, good player but not the sort of quality we want in our squad but to be fair he's only been at Madrid 6 months and it's hard for a player to adapt in that time.

Sneijder is a good player, he's what were missing really, a goalscoring midfielder but im not sure he's good enough aswell. Great first season for Madrid but last year a huge disapointment.

Van Der Vaart is nothing special and they only bought him for his great Euro's.

Diarra is a interesting one, were'nt we interested before he want to Madrid?

I've never played football manager, i'm just going off what i've seen when he's been playing for Zenit in the Uefa cup.

Oh right.

Sign him up then.

Miralem Pjanić is someone we should sign, now he is good on football manager.

If it isn't refinanced they can't repay the amounts required out of United's profits year on year, so unless they are prepared to pump in approx £100 million a year of their own money then they will have to sell and I think they will.

To make a profit they need to sell a successful, glamorous United. Not one 3rd or 4th in the Premiership.

My take on it anyway.

Yep. They not spend all the money but they'll sign a few players.

It's in the Glazers interests, and I actually think they'll be pushing for a 'big name' signing.

We won't spend all of it this summer. Even if we do make 80 or 100 million pounds worth of signings, which would surprise me, the payments will be spread out over an number of years.
