		<description>in this day and age manu should be adding top quality youngers. We have Rooney, Ronaldo, Nani, Anderson and also Manucho by adding Benzema and Ben afa to the squad, I think the squad will be even powerful.</description>

		<description>French clubs are very greedy especially when a premiership club comes for a player. Just look at the massive prices paid for Drogba, Essien, Mahmadou Diarra.  But these guys do prove their worth - french players do succeed in EPL.</description>

		<description>AZY is quite correct - these kids are the real deal BUT Aulas has no intention of selling them cheaply.  He just doesn&#039;t operate that way; Aulas is shrewd BUT he needs money to finance a new stadium so he will probably sell both of these guys a bit before he can get them to reach their maximum value.

From what I&#039;ve seen of them, firty million - 30 for Benzema and 20 for Ben Arfa would probably be their market value today.  Next year, it might be more.

I suppose if UTD were to win the Champions&#039; League - and the fifty million that goes with that title - then this would be a brilliant way to recycle the winnings and say &quot;sayonara&quot; to Giggs and Scholes by letting them leave on the highest of highs.</description>

		<description>Jean-Michel Aulas seems more of a used car salesman than the president of a club who are the reigning champions domestically for 6 years now(?).  He will push the price expectation if United, Chelsea or both are interested. A good case of point was in Diarra. When we were interested it was 20+ million pounds or no deal. The moment we dropped out as the player seemed more keen on Real Madrid, it dropped to 17 million. 

Use Saha  as the  bait. If that doesn&#039;t work, forget it. He&#039;ll lead us on forever in a public auctioning.

Players are young and reducing  aged players for young ones falls within the plans. Silvestre I think should see out his contract. That would give time for Fabio Silva to come up and maybe Kieron Lee (though not natural position) can also be cover and competiton to both Evra and Silva.</description>

		<description>Both of them looked pretty ordinary mind you they are playing in the french league and the music is horrible. Paying 40 million as the papers say for still unproven is a bit of order and aulas needs to wake up. I have seen that italian guy quarlega whatever his name is. Considering the price and what we want...is a poacher.... my money for huntelaar .. 15 million max should do the business. We never go wrong with dutch talent and hell yeh he special....</description>

		<description>This guy Aulas is a regular piss-taker.  He&#039;s done it with Essien and Mamadou Diarra and he is now starting to wind up his sales pitch for these two kids.  Both of them are very good players but neither is yet quite the finished article - and neither is in Ronaldo&#039;s class.  Both ?  hmmmm.</description>
