Glad everyones happy we're losing our best player again.


We're not happy, but if we are gonna pull out some miraculous deal that makes us better off (ie. Ireland + a good wedge) Then that would be the spoonful of sugar so to speak.

I'm sure that they are thinking the same on VT ;¬)

I've heard a rumour that Barry could be finally on his way to Liverpool when they sell Mascherano.


I fear Liverpool will be on the rise once the ongoing ownership saga is resolved (which looks imminent). Barry would do well there under Hodgson I think.


I must confiess to being a bit confused as to Liverpool's financial position right now.  OK, they may be able to sign Barry at a knock down fee, but his wages are huge.  Surely that's not an extra financial burden they are in a position to make, which is backed up by not being able to match Luke Young's wages?  Yet they've just signed Joe Cole on £90k a week, which is hardly going to lessen their debt issues.


Maybe they don't want to pay Luke Young £40k a week to sit on the bench in the same that we don't want to.

I have to say, though, that I don't think anyone, even Man City, would pay 20m for a player with one year left on his contract.



A bit late to the debate but De Jong was out of contract in the summer 2009 and they apparently paid 18mil for him.

Edit: Three pages later and Dave had beaten me to it.

Just saw King Carlos on SSN saying that if Milner leaves he will be replaced, with a 'it's no big deal' kind of attitude about him!  The rest was pretty hard to dicipher.

But it did look like he was wearing a poncho over his training top, which is a look I like a lot!

You can't really deny the facts. Out of the 30 odd players he's signed, you'd have to say only about 8 of the first team and Luke Young (who was good but the manager hates) can be called out and out sucesses


Even Sir A makes mistakes, when he first joined Utd the fans wanted to sack him after a few seasons.

Hadn't heard it for a while so thought I'd throw it into the hat :)

Article in the Guradian about Mon being lucky to finish in the top 6 even if he does his usual last minute purchases, especially if we lose Milner and Downing does not step up.

Although they did pay £17m for Nigel De Jong who only had six months left on his contract.


And had a release clause that allowed him to move for £5million.

I see Man Utd sold the next wonder boy Tosic who they paid around £14m for to CSKA for an undisclosed fee (expected to be around £8m) after playing only a handful of games for Man Utd.

The £20m on Anderson looks a good bit of business too.

There's a picture of him lying on the grass after the crash.
Why is he in his Man Utd kit and how lucky is he a member of their medical staff was there to help him?
