We all know that MO is not going to be enough, if thats all we sign up front…
I think eto will be the best piece of business if we sign him.
African strikers are strong and dont take shit+he is one of the greatest finishers in the world… The other most importnat thing is that this will most probably be Edwin’s last season.
AF needs to start considering a WORLD CLASS replacement; which im sure he is…

Off topic comment:

I’m warming to the idea of Toure at Barca coming to OT. Apparently he’s on 45k a week and Barca won’t pay him any more. Fergie would give him 60k at least as starters. He’d certainly add a lot more stability to the defence plus can play in the back 4.

Comment on MO’s supposed contract at OT:

Like the one that gives him 20K for scoring an EPL goal, but 30k if he scores against ‘Pool.

Love it.

This deal merely emphasises how far UTD are ahead in their thinking, of the rest of the EPL. This was a deal that Benitez should have been chasing and had wrapped up before Fergie even thought of it. Does anyone really believe that such an incompetent manager is capable of winning the title?

WOW

I thought we were up there with companies.

So that means that United are a bigger brand than the whole of American Football, Basketball, Car manufacturers etc. Fucking hell.

I think that alone makes Manchester United the biggest football team in the world. Real who.

Hear hear. Too true yet the Dippers deny it.

@sean. Self proclaimed, maybe that’s because eerrmmm we are the biggest team in the world. Something like 8th biggest brand in the world. By far the highest ranked football team on that list of brands. Only behind companies like Sony, Nike and Adidss. We are in top 3 best teams in the world. We are a cash cow, generate the most money by millions. Our ground is nearly twice as big as yours and will get bigger than Wembley. Most succesful team in the past 20 years. Fantastic history, present and future. Apart from that we ain’t so big.

Sean – I ask the question again. When the tranny’s hamstrings fuck up who are you gonna rely on? Please don’t believe the tabloids that all the top players snubbed us, simply not true. As for Ronnie going would you keep a player that wants to pursue his dream or accept the £80 million? Oh sorry you did, you kept Alonso when he wanted out. Looking forward to the Fat Waiter reverting to his old tactics again and drawing against the likes of Stoke and Fulham. The man is a buffoon and you know it pal.

Are you sure they are gonna stay Sean? As for Bascombe show me some quotes or sources and I may believe it. As I said though fuck all to lose pal, well worth a punt. By the way I did not dispute the ladyboy was a great player. Seem to remember Rio having him in his arse pocket two seasons ago when fit so he may just do it again. Always have to fall back on the 5 times thing don’t you. Ancient fucking history Sean, 3 of them were won when it was piss easy to win. 10 teams or summat. Notice you can’t rely on the old chestnut of 18 times can you? I remember you on here giving it large last March after our “blip” but come May where were you? Always the same old shit, “this years ours”. Come back in May pal when Owen has helped us to 19 titles! Mug.

How the fuck is Owen injury prone. If your knee pops out to the side, that is not your fault. If someone stamps on your foot and breaks the metatarsal, that is not your fault. It’s not like he’s always had a dodgy hamstring is it. One freak injury and one injury that every English players.

Also, it’s not like he played for the Dippers just 4 days ago. Try 5 years. He and we know he is going to start as substitute. Maybe he could start against the bottom half teams. He will be a great signing, for 0 pennies, when he comes off the bench and gets the winner whenever needed.

How many chances do United create and then not take advantage of ( yes you Tevez ), Michael Owen will put away these chances. That’s what he does. That’s what we need. Most “fans” aren’t convinced but they may as well start liking him now instead of waiting for a match in September when he gets a last minute winner. Everyone will grow to, not neccesarily love him, but like him and appreciate him.
