I don't know why we put ourselves through this every year.

We never get anyone we want/get linked with

I think Cole is average and I don't think him and Gabby would work well as a partnership at all.

Gabby can hold the ball up as well as Cole can who isn't a poacher.

Sully Muntari is left on the bench for Inter again tonight... would be a good addition for us in the summer.

He ticks all the right boxes for MON.

British? - Yes
No need to scout? - Yes
Hideously overpriced - Yes?

Which of MONs signings do you consider to be hideously overpriced then MF, and which are good value.Or do you just concentrate on the negatives all the time?

Overpriced?

Harewood
Davies
Downing
Milner (at the time).

I fail to see how anyone can be 'overpriced at the time'. They either are or they aren't based on the value that they give for the money paid.

Was Ronaldo overpriced? Henry? Torres? Rooney?

When we signed Milner, I didn't think he was worth the reported £12m.

Nearly 2 seasons later I've seen much improvement and good return for the cash and I do think now he was worth £12m.

Simples.

So to sum up, he was worth what we paid and therefore not overpriced.
