Because they didn't, we ended up with silly Bebe v Ozil debates. |

Given the strict wage structure, the drive to ensure the total amount paid is only 50% of turnover (I think) or less, it's going to be nigh on impossible to pay that sort of cash. As Gill mentioned the other day it'll be young prospects, and turning them into 'stars'. Whatever the £#%&! he meant. Anyway, I'm slipping off for an evening with Herzog. |

Like I said, I think the Fergie would have been better off denying interest in Ozil. Might have led to some criticism, but probably less as a result of the phantom disappointment that we didn't sign him. |

I'm sure he's allowed to spend £10-12mill each Summer - providing there's at least one player moved on to free up a wage & balance the books. As for competing for the signature of the likes of a Rooney or a Rio again, there's no chance. |

It'll be very interesting if we don't win a major trophy this season. |

Shearer - lost out to Blackburn who offered more money Keane - Blackburn offered more but he wanted to play for United Andy Cole - Not competing with anyone, but bought him because we couldn't/wouldn't pay for Stan Collymore Shearer - Lost Out to Newcastle (Jack Walker's fault) Dwight Yorke - Competing with nobody Jaap Stam - Competing with nobody Veron - got him at a reduced rate and didn't have to compete with anyone due to the passport scandal, no one wanted him. van Nistelrooy - talk of interest from Madrid and one or two others, but only United triued to buy him. Ferdinand - Competing with nobody, many people bitched that we massively overspent on him and should've bought Cannavaro or Nesta Rooney - Competing with Newcastle, was only ever going to sign for us, Chelsea were newly rich and didn't even get involved. Berbatov - Competing with City, who out bid us and were prepared to offer the player more. Nani, Anderson and Hargreaves - Spurs may have been interested in Nani, nobody for the other 2. So, just going off those examples, off the top of my head, although we have often thrown big money about (well not often, occasionally) we have rarely been 'competing' with anyone and when we have, we have lost out on a lot of occasions, cash rich or not. It's not about competing in the transfer market, it's about identifying the players you want and ensuring you get them. |
