I think so too.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
He might be but we are more likely to get Benzema and for greater value.
Were 'More likely' to get Benzema because the world and its dog knows how big a fan of the boy Fergie is so any move wouldnt come as any great shock......where as weve no idea at all how highly he rates Higuain.
I'm fairly sure that United were after Higuain before he signed for Real. I do remember there being lots of stories about our interest.
No more argentines
....unless it's Messi But seriously if some of these players are for sale it would be stupid not to join the auction this time atleast.
We really could have done with some of their players in the Ronaldo deal last year.
Thinking the same thing.
I have been thoroughly underwhelmed by Van Der Vaart whenever I've seen him play, which is a few times in the Liga this year.
I meant the other one, Essien's mucker
We were willing to pay that last year.Thirty million for Benzema?
On form yes. Overall is yet to be seen.
van der Vaart is too much of a luxury player for my liking... I'd take him, but only for maybe 10m at the most.
And of course I'd love to see Higuain at United.
They can keep L. Diarra. Overrated headless chicken.

We don't need another striker with unproven "potential"
Yep. Fanny Fart couldn't really impose himself in La Liga - no chance in the PL. 'Lass' is the same £5M player we sold to Portsmouth. Higuain is a top banana but going nowhere.
Paula Abdul wants her humour back
Eric's choler.
Citeh in talks to sign Gago and Higuain

Paula is getting pissed at you now.
You need a name change to avoid confusion with the real Erics Collar. The 'choler' would do it but 'paula' is not a bad alt.
You should keep your name, both of the people recognisable by it are complete fuds who make no sense.
C'mon ya wee radge, you geddit.
Obviously Mourinho is not there yet so he has not axed anyone. However, Florentino Perez is the man with the final word at Real Madrid.
They sold players for over €70, probably close to or just over €80m when you include Heinze, Saviola (€5m), M. Torres, Parejo, Telbar, Bueno, Codina, van Nistelrooy whom were all undisclosed, some free however they stopped paying their wages. The big ones were Wesley Sneijder, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, Alvaro Negredo all left for €15m and Arjen Robben departed for €25m. Apart from Alvaro Negredo whom were their own academy player and bought back for only, all of these left for far less than they were signed for - and probably less than their real value. Based on their performances this season, Sneijder and Robben could easily been far more expensive. Negredo has been brilliant at Sevilla, while Huntelaar can definably get better for AC Milan. - but for that price I think it is fair to claim all these four were bargains.
What I am trying to say, is despite of them spending over a quarter billion Euros (about the value of Liverpool football club
) They actually sold for more than most big clubs spent, they sold for a lot even though it was not more about 30% of what they spent. But again that is quite a bit. Even though they sold good players cheap, it generated a lot of money - they need that cash. If we would spend €80m this summer, we would consider that a big spending summer if we did something like that. And I am pretty sure that Real Madrid will excess the €100m mark, perhaps the €200m mark yet again this season. They will have to sell a couple of big names, and van der Vaart are likely to be one of them, regardless of what Mourinho wants… There are almost only big names in Real Madrid, and they will have to sell some big names. Based on their spending philosophy they end up fecking up, they are the masters of bad sales aren't they? Clarence Seedorf, Luis Enrique, Claudio Makalele are a few examples. But they way they operates – signing “Galacticos” they have to sell. When you transfer-list players, whom not are intended to play in the first XI they are not as expensive as players being vital to a team. Fernando Torres was for sale at Atletico Madrid so he went to Liverpool for about £20m (+ Luis Garcia for almost nothing), Berbatov was not for sale in Tottenham so he cost £32m. It might say something of the differences in price you can demand for a player that is transfer-listed and someone whom is considered not for sale.Thanks for confirming, now feckoff to arsecunt.net
Ah, I get it, you're another of these racist fools.
Oddly enough the name that surprised me the most on the list was Garay, I can't see why a solid squad CB would be in line to be sold.
Higuain and Vaart for us ,please!
I think this is possible,because in the past Madrid have sold good players for bargain fees.
Sneijder,Robben etc...

Possibly, but if I had to guess I think Benzema would be more suited to the PL, and to United in particular.
Mahamadou Diarra, we prefer our new signings to be injured (RVN, Owen, Hargraves)
Sky Sports | Football | Primera Division | News | Real rule out Higuain sale
Was waiting for this one. I am sure Real Madrid will sell plenty of players. But Higuain whom has been their top scorer for two years in a row at the age of 22 will probably stay put.

That shows they are likely to keep both..
If Barca get Cesc and Real manage to get Cole/Lampard/insert other decent Chelsea player then our squad will have been improved relative to our nearest rivals, sorry for pointing out the obvious but it seems that Spanish football could actually do united a favour this year!
True, but if Chelsea lose those players they're going to do all they can the replace them with other talents.
Plus the CL is going to that bit tougher with the big two in Spain going all out in the transfer window.
The thing is that the two best left-backs in the world are Evra and Cole by some distance, any other player would mean weakening their squad. You're absolutely right about the CL of course, there's no doubt Real will be a force next season.
Well, I am sure Mourinho will get some tactical freedom. At Porto, at Chelsea, and at Internazionale there has been always been something in common. Mourinho has always preferred physical forwards like McCarthy, Drogba, Crespo, Zlatan, Milito and so on, Mourinho will sign a new forward, and that should mean that someone has to go.
Higuain has made a solid contribution to those 102 goals, Benzema has not really done that the same way. And keeping Higuain just makes sense, he is a perfect man for a winger in that 4-3-3 Mourinho seems to prefer - Benzema is probably not a perfect man for Mourinho's tactics. In order to get the players that Mourinho wants, and I am sure he wants to get quite a few - changes to fit the tactics he prefers. They sold several players ahead of this season, as I mentioned in a earlier post about €80m - They sold Huntelaar to get Benzema. Sneijder for Kaka, and Robben for Ronaldo? Dropping Sneijder last season made no sense what so ever. He had one amazing season being the key man to winning the league in 2008, and completing that year by being one of the best players in the EUROs that summer. A year later - they throw him out for only €15m based on one "bad" season. If they sell Benzema now, they can probably hope to collect €30m. If he has one more season like this one... He will end up worth nothing like Sneijder won't he?
They sold for around €80m last season, that was far less then they wanted to sell for. If they are to sell Benzema it is to be now while he is worth something. He kind of went from being the "new French supertstar" to being left out of the world cup didn't he? In that list, I am pretty sure that Higuain will be not for sale. Everyone else on that list I think is rather plausible.
That is why it's unlikely he will leave Madrid.
When Real want to buy someone they always do.
When Real want to keep someone ,they always do.
