    Anybody ever look up the Goldenboy award? Anderson won it in 2008, the amount of current superstars that have won it, he really looks out of place on the list of previous winners. They majority of the winners have gone on the be True World Class players.

    Just shows how much talent he had!

    yea he was class, fell apart then in champions league final v Barcelona...

    pato and balotelli never really hit the heights either after they won it

    Lads, I can't say the bickering between the two of you isn't starting to grate. Feel free to discuss the club and such, but there's a level of personal shots which are creeping in...

    Just shows what a genius Fergie was. Most he ever spent on a player was 29 million.

    Berbatov was over £30 million.

    You're right, he was, 31 million! We've already doubled that and have no silverware to show for it :(

    Goodman. If in doubt revert to fat jokes.

    That's not a kebab shop by the way. I can make out some meat and 7up cans?

    But carry on with the fat jokes. Just shows you up with for your nonsense.


    He was just joking! All fat comments to Ando, the joke is usually the joke itself. I enjoy them now and again.

    Apparently 21-26 million, pretty sure when we were supposedly interested it was around 30-35 million

    Yeah. interesting.

    They claim United through a third party has made contact with Pogba or his manager/Juve, €80 million transfer and €9 million a season for Pogba for .

    The article seems to claim that a friend of Pogba says that it would be good revenge by Pogba to return after three years.
    United letting Juve know now they claim so Juve can plan on a replacement.
    Pogba wouldn't mind returning and that Man City can't afford him for FPP reasons, neither can PSG for the same reasons, and Ancelotti doesn't want him/Pogba not interested in a move to Madrid.

    So if United did contact the parties involved with Pogna, then the recent comments by both Pogba "still loves" United, and Pogba's manager - Pogba will play in the premier league and they will decide when he does.

    Pogba could be an expensive lesson, I hope it happens, still only 21, hard to believe. He will only improve.

    Sky Sports app profiling Marquinhos of PSG as we have allegedly been throwin a few shapes his way.

    We can apparently have him for £112,000,000.

    Seems legit.


    Silly transfer fee aside, this kid any use?

    Big reputation but I've not seen anything of him.

    Bebe thought it was a joke when United met his buyout clause.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2920314/Bebe-reveals-thought-7-4m-Manchester-United-joke.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490

    He says he was a child and alone at united.

    I wish him all the best.

    When you pay 50 million whatever for for David Luiz, I think that figure looks correct if you are PSG.

    They need all the money they can get too for FFP rules if they want another big name in.

    • Nobody is off limits this summer - and that includes Lionel Messi

    We can dream, but my immediate worry is about getting Top 4 first.

    I'm starting to think that Diego simone could be the best signing we could make.

    Sell Rooney, Mata, Nani, Hernandez, RVP, Fletcher, Valencia, De Gea, Jones, Smalling, Evans.

    Buy Messi.

    And some want us to believe there are more City fans in Manchester itself then United.

    Would imagine that the stat includes tourists, for example, as opposed to being limited to those who reside full time in Manchester. would imagine United would easily get the most unique visitors, whereas the argument could still stand that people living in The City support City.

    (not saying the latter is 100% true! just that the stat doesn't disprove the notion mentioned....)
