    Says it all about what? I find it funny the way some people take a comment i made and change it through an argument, I'm not happy about that and couldn't give a toss if my comments get a reaction or not, i just give my opinions on Man United.

    Sounds a bit like Dunphy's add for The Star.

    because it's based in nothing rational.

    Hernandez is young (21, 22 in a few days), in a completely new country and culture, and is f*cking tiny. there should be no hope or expectation on him to be anywhere near Berbatov's level yet.

    you're welcome to want him to be at that level, but you're going to be bitterly disappointed i reckon, unless Utd get very lucky and hit the jackpot with him. but hitting a jackpot like that is very very very rare.


    I agree with what you say, its just a hope not an expectation OBVIOUSLY even though some people think i have it in my head that Hernandez will be a hit straight away, i never said that.

    cool, fair enough so.

    and on that note, i'm going to take Al's advice and take my bow for the night.

    Say it all with reards your intentions in making your rather contentious points.

    Yeah hopefully he can show good form on the tour and go ahead of berbatov in the forward stakes, im sure he will sooner rather than later.

    Last post on this, you can insinuate all you want but no i did not take you out of context. Unless you don't understand the word sure.

    This is your first post. You said you were sure he's going to take over from berbatov sooner rather than later. Now if you want to change your mind by all means go ahead.

    The last 2-3 pages say otherwise.

    These comments to me say a lot about why your here. :D especially the fact you posted your last comment twice, once on the last page and once here on this page, who does that?

    I'm presuming it's safe to come in now?!

    People probably know but I'll put it up anyway: United's online shop are doing a bit of a clearance sale on selected products.

    Would love to see him tear the English defence apart, just to put England on a downer for the WC, i can see it now the following morning a post Morten on Sky Sports if it did happen.
    Anyone know what that index Capello was supposed to give? Seemingly they're already peed off about that in the English media.

    You're in the pro-Glazer camp presumably.

    EDIT:
    Just noticed your "LUHG" signature!

    Mental, that someone in the LUHG camp is promoting the official shop :confused:

    with all due respect, it's a sensible decision on his part.

    and it saves you overpaying for an unproven teenager.

    Did I say I was buying anything?

    No.

    There are people out there who might want to buy something for a young child and in this day and age, any sort of sale is welcome.

    United linked with Frey in the papers. I hope to god it's not true. Don't really rate him. Not as a United no 1 anyway. I know it's the daily mail but it's a slow aul day around here :

    Fiorentina goalkeeper Sebastien Frey has opened the door to a move to the Premier League.
    The 30-year-old is under contract with the Viola until June 2013 but has been targetted by Barclays Premier League giants Manchester United and Arsenal.
    Frey said to Gazzetta dello Sport: 'I have spoken to (Fiorentina president Diego) Della Valle. I will speak again with him after the holidays.

    Come and get me: Frey has attracted interest from Man United and Arsenal
    'In life, at times, you need new challenges and I cannot hide the fact that I need that.
    'Perhaps finding new challenges doesn't necessarily mean leaving, it could also mean that I could stay provided the team is reinforced.
    'Next season we will not play in Europe and that is why we need a strong team to be at the highest level in Serie A.'
    Fiorentina failed to replicate the form of the 2008-09 campaign where they finished fourth.

    What about the £122 million cash reserve United had in the september 09 figures, if I remember correctly the green and gold campaign here have always said United had no cash reserve and that we would have had no cash last summer but for the Ronadlo money. Both False.
    The full financial statement was not released last September, it was released early this year during the bond issue, so any figures you are using from back then will be incomplete and out of context and therefor useless. link to the statement.


    United would have made a loss last year except for the Ronaldo sale - that is shown in the financial statement. Here's an article in the Guardian saying so, in case you're not going to believe me.

    They also claim that the Glazers can take any money they want from the club, I've been reading up on this recently and from what I can see the Glazers can only take money out after the club makes a decent profit. Is this true?
    No.
    The details of how the Glazers can take money out of the club, and how much they can take, have been widely discussed on here. I've posted about it often when discussing the whole situation with you. But yet again you show that you haven't been paying much, if any, attention to what the other side of the argument have been posting. Here's an article that details the structures with which the Glazers can take money from the club, which I've shown to you before. As you can see, they can take horrendous amounts out of the club, even if profits stay the same, while still leaving the club to somehow try to meet the bond loan when it matures. They can take more money if profits increase, but the club is being absolutely crippled by trying meet the debt they have put on it, so the Glazers syphoning off 50% of profits is very bad news.

    I don't know why we are continiously linked with a new goalkeeper. Fergie obviously thinks VDS is up to the standard else he wouldn't have given him a new contract.
