I think it's our value policy. I think of it in Football Manager terms! Signing players of a current ability of 160-170/200 and potential ability of 180/200 for £15m-£20m represents a more stable return on your investment than going for a player of 160-170/200 and a potential ability of 190/200 for £30m+ I think we are fairly confident as a club that we can get the "Value" players up and around the ability we need as a squad player while risking big money on players who potentially have a higher ceiling obviously offers greater risk. Then every now and again you get a Valencia who manages to go above and beyond expectation and looks like a bargain for £17m and similarly in the higher risk strategy, you get players signed for £30m who never reach their ability and are considered a flop. |

I know, what a laugh. We've worse players than Gaitan already playing for us. He's obviously not the muppets choice and they're getting a bit giddy about the MUTV denial, despite MUTV generally talking shite. The denial they're talking about was probably the one a few months ago in the papers.

Gaitan's agent making noises about us being interested points to United not signing the player. United generally ask the players, and their representatives to stay silent on any possible transfers.

Definately over probably wasnt even a runner, chances are we used the supposed interest in him as a nice smokescreen to keeping an eye on kagawa. The hazard interest was always gonne get outta the bag at some stage.
His agents a massive tool |

Let's see. RedRichio said Hazard was going to City. He ended up at Chelsea. RedRichio said Vertoghen would go to Arse and M'Vila to be completed soon as well. Looks like it will be Spuds to get Vertoghen and no word on M'Vila yet. RedRichio said there is no chance of us getting Gaitan.
Id be putting money on Gaitan to United if I were a betting man. |
