Despite saying it is the end of our business he also made comments about there still being alot of time before the transfer window ends so who knows. He also made a pointed comment about the figures people are quoting being ridiculous.

I suspect that with gremio wanting the $21million USD upfront and united only wanting to pay $11million USD upfront and with other clubs no doubt adding millions to their price tag due to Real, City and to a lesser extent Chelsea its him saying “We don’t need to sign anyone and won’t be held to ransom so take the money or forget it”

I’m still confident we will see atleast Costa added to our numbers once we play hardball with them

Costas mate do you honestly think the Glazers would say to Sir Alex that he is not having any of Ronnies sale proceeds? He would walk pal, simple as.

Costas, I don’t think it is a good thing to presume the Glaizers lied. Maybe Sir Alex really think we are ok with what we have? Rooney, Berbatov & Owen all have alot to prove and we all know they are capable of stepping up a few gears, it is now a question of whether Sir Alex can bring the best out of them. And if you really talk about spending, who do you think we can bring in to improve the squad?
1) Ribery -> Not chance, too expensive and a galatico wannabe, stay away!
2) Yaya -> What makes you think he would want to leave a treble winning team?
3) Douglas -> He won’t be a first teamer, so no point, esp not at 20M
4) Sanchez -> Some UAE club is interested in him, makes you wonder how good he really is
5) De Rossi -> He is Roma through & through like Totti

Not your fault, but that article is gay.

Can’t even call the great man by his title… It’s Sir Alex, not Alex..!

I know people love torres and I see there point he’s just not a Manchester united player . Costa I understand what your saying but when I heard 80 million for Ronaldo I taught real are fuckin thick I’d hate united to spend 80 million in one window on 1 player or 8 players sir Alex has built this club that that never needs to be the way.

Top class but overrated in his last two seasons at Atletico he scored 13 and 15 goals last season he scored 17 Ok he suffered from injuries but you could call the season before last a one off, this is why he is overrated.

You are right GHTT. The problem is that sources from the Glazers said that the Ronaldo money would be at Fergie’s disposal. So they probably lied. Not that 80 million will help significantly with the crippling debts that they loaded the club with.
