		<description>Yeah, tell him to fuckoff.  Man Utd is not a replacement team for him.  He went to Real Madrid as soon as they offered more money, so it is clearly stated that he is a money-lover player.  And I think we need more defenders or midfielders.</description>

		<description>i believe its must be a dilemma for SAF whenever he thinks of bringing in a new striker. with all the good qualities in our team, pace is one thing we are lacking upfront. also, apart from owen we do not have a natural striker. welbeck and kiko are too young and not there yet in terms of consistency. they will need a couple of more seasons to get that. also both owen and berba will be not at there best in a couple of years. so its my thinking that he will resist the temptation to buy a new striker atleast until summer and will only buy if he thinks that any of the two youngsters are not up to scratch. 

but for the sake of giving my opinion i would like us to buy pato from milan. he is top quality and has all the attributes of a top striker and is also very young so is likely to develop even more.

at the moment we are very light in defence and rio is becoming more and more injury prone which at his age is not a good sign for a player. i am wondering why are we not playing de laet at right back. he has looked decent whenever he has played. why have we even bought him if we now think he is not good enough. maybe we can loan an experienced central defender just as stop gap measure.</description>

		<description>i don&#039;t think that even madrid would sell one of the new &#039;galactico&#039;s mk 2&#039; (i know that madrid&#039;s players don&#039;t like the term galactico but the majority of football fans - including some of the rm ones are calling them that so i don&#039;t think they have an argument) after just 6 months - that is low even for them. Also there are the matters (a) the player doesn&#039;t want to leave madrid, (b) aparts from prehaps from their coach mp (who most likely won&#039;t be at the the club for more than 2 yrs - this is madrid after all, it&#039;d be weird if they didn&#039;t fire a coach at least every few years) the club i don&#039;t think what to sell (i recall that perez even said benzema is his favourite of the new signings) (c) if saf wasn&#039;t prepared to spend 35-40m then, then he probably wouldn&#039;t now either and (d) Guillem Balague is the biggest (and most annoying) gossip ever &amp; add to that benzema seems to be doing better at rm i think it&#039;s safe to conclude that this is a non story. Anyway, personally i didn&#039;t want him in the summer and i don&#039;t want him now. If saf is able to pinch anyone from rm (though it&#039;ll never happen) get higuain, and once he grows out of the petulance and sees the light in a few yrs that north england is not so bad a piece to be then hopefully saf will rework his magic on ronaldo in time for the london games (never happen but i can&#039;t see him retiring at madrid, because it&#039;s madrid so...)</description>

		<description>I&#039;m excited about seeing Mame Biram Diouf as well but let&#039;s not count any chickens. We&#039;ve signed a player who&#039;ll arrive in January, all we need now is to sort out his work permit... where&#039;ve I heard that one before?</description>

		<description>We dont need Benzema but I would get him if the price was right. If they sold him his so called love for Madrid would turn to hate and fuel his ambition to suceed with us, so it wouldnt be a bad signing. And just coz he decided to go to spain instead coz he was caught up in all the Perez hype, doesnt mean I wouldnt support him if he signed for us. Any player that signs for us I will support until its decided by SAF that they arent right for us. To be honest tho i really think this Diouf lad is gunna put any talk of strikers signing for us to bed, he is going to make alot of people sit up and take notice!!</description>

		<description>And... I just have to rant this off.
To those who slate Berbatov, why can&#039;t you look at things this way? Yes Berbtov did not score 1/2 as much goals as Torres, but if you add assist to the equation, there is not much to choose between them. And to add for an interesting side show, try find out how many successful tackles Berbatov had compared to Torres</description>
