Mole_Toonfan Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Fergie is nuts but i bet it pays off for him anyway.... needs a CM and fullback yet he buys another CF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 In what sense? Good transfer for the player and the club IMO. Yep. Expensive obviously but he's probably the best striker in the league. He's not going to play for buttons. Quality costs. true but not sure he's worth that, time will tell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 It's a baffling signing, although I'm excited at the prospect of Rooney and RvP together. How will he fit Kagawa, Nani, Young and Valencia around that though? Even just three of those... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Football is depressing sometimes, Arsenal keep patience with him through years of injury prone campaigns, he has one great season and he's immediately off for megabucks. Way to repay faith shown in him. I hope Krul winds him up next time we play him so much his head explodes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's forgetting the young careers of Cleverley, Hernandez and Welbeck. Meanwhile, Rafael will play at right back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I must admit I don't scrutinise football as much as I used to but last year Joe Allen barely registered on my radar. Liverpool are paying £15million for him? Is Freddie Shepherd running that circus? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Man U friend reckons if they get him he'll play a more traditional no 10 role than at arsenal and rooney will revert to being a proper no 9. I personally don't see it, think they'll get in each others Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I knew Kagawa wouldn't play in his natural position btw typical Fergie buying AM's and playing them as CM's or wingers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man Utd trying to keep up with the likes of Man City and Chelsea so they sign last season's player of the year to help them on their way. Good fit for both sides if his fitness stays the way of last season and not the way of a lot of his career before that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they don't need a striker and ignoring the obvious weaklinks in midfield and at fullback to massage their ego. Without mentioning they have spent close to 20m on a AM this summer and he will be played out of position because of this proposed signing. Signing quality you actually need for the team then fair enough, but there's much more pressing issues for them than signing a striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I don't like Man United either, but they're miles ahead of us whether they buy Van Persie or not. As a football fan, I may as well enjoy seeing two world-class players become strike partners. And they were already fine up front. They scored plenty of goals last season, so that wasn't the problem. At the end of the day they were a Sergio Aguero 94th minute goal away from being champions.

Smal Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 He's a bit old and injury prone to be handing £220k p/w to, isn't he? Big risk if true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the fact it gives the Arse a lot of money. The bonus for me is that it makes it less likely Fergie will try to snatch Modric. Those wages make me physically sick though. He could buy our house with three days' pay. Fuck off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 RVP risky for me with his injury track record as SEMTEX has said. Still, as also said won't bother them much in the league if he never plays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Doubt anyone would be raising an eyebrow or even questioning it if he was going to Man City for the same fee/wages, probably partly because they piss money up the wall constantly without it making any difference to them mind.
