Fine, I put it wrong. The difference with City and Arsenal is that City have the means/money to fulfill their ambition. So they are more likely to fulfill their ambition and win some trophies.
We didn't bid for Benzema, but he's hardly a big name - although he does have a long name. Shouldn't your muppetry be confind to that Tevez thread?
Stop making cheap remarks.Probably true, although time will tell - if Arsenal finish top four and City don't then what would that say about City's methods? No question City will have a team next season, but Arsenal already have a quality team on the up without the circus surrounding Eastlands.
Cheap remarks? What remark are you referring to?
Reports would suggest we did. Who knows. I am sure Arsenal have some ambition, but they don't seem to have the cash to make their dreams a reality. If you disagree then fine. Lets agree to disagree.
of those players you mentioned we only bid for Benzema.
I don't get all this doom and gloom and bullshit. Kaka said- in Brazil we only follow three clubs, one of them is Manchester.
My idea! I thought it was apt.
According to Benzema's own words, as soon as Real were in the run there was no decision to make. He was never going to turn them down. So that does sound like we are struggling to attract a player.
What after he signed for them? What part of we didn't bid, doesn't make sense to you?
Thats fine that some players don't want to come to us. We only want players that want to play for United. No one else. I don't see why that is doom and gloom.
Some players don't want to come to us like Benzema, despite us not bidding for him.
Grow up.
No Fergie said we didn't bid for him. He said we weren't going to match their valuation nor we were going to get into an auction with Real.
it's strange.
god, you're insufferable.
last season before my rumours, he did actually say that he'd love to play for United or al least alluded to it. But we're never going pay those types of fees. As Fergie said - Real don't care about debt unlike other clubs.
Im perfectly happy,Ronaldo was a great player but he was only one cog in a great team.We lost a fringe player as well but with what is already here and we have bought in I have every confidence.I think we over reacting to this some players dont want to come to us,the only player we were proabably interested in was Benzema and Fergie refused to pay the money so we dont actually know whether he would have come here or not
Fair comments. We don't really go for big name players anyway, I proffer it that way.
You're signing Tevez and Adebayor, that's pretty big names. Not to mention if you get Terry. He's MASSIVE!
thank god that is bullshit
Ha. A woman on BBC radio reported yesterday that Carlos Tevez has signed for Manchester United. I suppose she hadn't realised that there was more than one team in Manchester
His relationship with Arsenal fans has been strained at the best of times lately, what reaction would he get if he decided to stay? Personally, I'd be a bit annoyed if a player wanted to leave my club and then aboutfaced because he was worried HIS fans back home would flip. Wenger probably can't wait to get rid, he could address a lot of issues in your squad for that sort of money and Adebayor ain't really worth the trouble in my view (didn't even give the appearance of expending effort at times last season).
Im going to be pissed off if he doesnt go. His career is already panning out to be Kanu 2. Just without the trophies... or the trivia questions.
I agree. Your squad is well stocked with strikers that could take that step up to replace Ade. With this 25 million fee sitting in Arsenals coffers, you would expect Wenger to plump for that midfield hardman you so desperately need, rather than spunk it on a group of African or French-African kids with potential.
Kinda true except that Kanu was never the dickhead Adebayor always was
Yeah, and Kanu had that amazing head that was just far too small for his body... plus Kanu won the Champions League, which Adebayor sure as hell didn't/won't
The highlighted section is pretty much what I remember SAF saying.
Usually caftards don't get as far as factoring in stuff like corn rows. Being tall and black is all they need.
