So he should've stayed at Barca and waited his turn then?
He's leaving Barca because he wants to play regular football, so it's an absolute no brainier that he would join a club with even more options in his position than the one he is at with a manager who has shown in the past he has no qualms about leaving him out? Contradictions asunder there crumple, you been on the gin all day again? Ok. Whatever. United did their very best, are beyond reproach and are just ridiculously unlucky yet again. |

If you can't see the difference between the situation at Barca and the one at Bayern you should just give up. He had no problem leaving him out (wasn't like he was just getting Copa Del Ray games ffs) as a teenager/20 year old in a team with Iniesta and Xavi infront of him. Anyway the player himself clearly sees Bayern/Guardiola as his best option in order to reach his goal of playing in the World Cup, which again makes sense as he knows the manager and what will be expected of him add to the fact that Guardiola has gone and bought him, it's not like he inherited him. People are allowed to choose other clubs over United because of a personal preference it's not all down to transfer ineptitude. Ah well, at least Rafabio will agree with you. |

I would suggest he faces even greater competition for a place at Munich than at Barca, certainly in terms of numbers tbh crumps.
He was United's for the taking give the large Thiago shaped hole in our midfield and our spending several years chasing him. Either we didn't sell the club to him or we wouldn't/couldn't agree or pay the fee. There might be a case of our being over confident on getting him, hence the arguing over the fee. You obviously don't want to hear anything that might in any way implicate United, so just give it up. |

He simply rejected us.
It must have been a hard decision for him given he took 2 months (or maybe more if its true Pep asked for him in February). Anyone who thinks we missed out cos of penny pinching is deluded as £#%&!. £18m or £22m, barely a difference, a bloody mame dioufs difference. We would have paid whatever had he agreed to join us. We couldn't bit until he had said yes. |

I'm genuinely not arsed one bit about Nasri, Moura or Sneijder. The first 2 in particular would have been a serious waste of money. Sneijder too but we didn't know in 2011 how much he would diminish physically. Galatasaray for 5m 18 months later. |

I've never understood this idea that he'll have tough competition at Bayern.
He'll be an automatic choice with Schweinsteiger and Kroos in midfield. Martinez will drop into defence, as Guardiola has said. They'll have loads of options in attack now. Pep could go with natural wingers in Robben and Ribéry, or the more dynamic Götze and Müller, or play with a natural target man in Mandžukić. Great options. |
