		<description>@wakey, as long as all that tax is repaid by titles, having an english player and surety in the league as far as the player is concerned I am ok with it!
I don&#039;t want us to be in a situation where we have too many &#039;future talents&#039; waiting to bloom and we end up spending that on a big time winger after a year of waiting anyways! Six of one half a dozen of the other i guess! In cases like these guess we have to trust Fergie&#039;s instinct.</description>

		<description>Lamps comment on Rooney are justified, I too believe he is a class player and if he is used properly then we will see the best of him, one thing that I can not compare to him to Zola is temperamental control, while Zola was a down to earth player, Rooney at times can be very volatile and you never know when he going to sent off.  This is a weakness that he needs to improve on more. 
Out of topic though;
Is true that Sir is going for Eto&#039;o? This is one rummer that I wish can die as fast as it came. This is one player I respect for his scoring prowess but I detest for his too big EGO, I don&#039;t think he will like the rotation that Sir will be doing during the critical matches. Personally, I can not fathom what the world witnessed when CR7 was substituted during the Man City match. Further still, Man U do not need a another striker as what they have is enough and should give Kiko and Wellbeck ample time to develop. I don&#039;t think they are under any pressure to win the trophy this season, for if they are then I don&#039;t know what teams like Arsenal and Liverpool will be like. This is why I think it should be season for development.  Where Man U has the weakest point is in the midfield where to me of the top 4 at the moment it is paper weight. In this area both Chelsea and Liverpool will bully them physically and Arsenal will bully them ballwise. As always Sir will let you make your opinion but will always give people surprises, lets wait and see what he has this time round.</description>

		<description>@venu

The thing with Costa is he is 18. 18 year olds don&#039;t get thrown into the deepend in Braillian football, its a tough and physical league which they get eased into in most cases. The Twins never played a first team game, Anderson made something like 15 total appearances. Ronaldinho only made 44 appearances in total in 3 seasons between the ages of 18 and 21, Ronaldo made 14 ect ect. Someone like Robinho who makes a large number of first team appearances at a young age is rare.

As for Young I have said it once and will again. He could be great BUT he will cost United over £30mill (The £27mill Real were asked for in Jan + english player tax, + rival team tax + united tax + ronaldos 80mill tax)</description>

		<description>Two months ago, I would&#039;ve laughed pretty hard at anyone suggesting that JT might even think about leaving Chelsea but after this summer (USA beat Spain...Owen to United...Ronaldo to RM...) I&#039;ll believe anything. Though, lol @ the people who think he&#039;s a glory hunter or just after the money. Glory hunters don&#039;t sign for Chelsea in 1998. 

I&#039;ve always liked Frank Lampard. Quality player, smart guy, not a douche. Perhaps his only bad quality is which badge is on his shirt.</description>
