    A) you edited after it was pointed out that it was a daft comment
    B) Why would you not simply respond saying it had been a poor choice of words instead of editing the original post? Do you go back to check on the off chance that some one has edited a post?
    That would be a bizarre thing to do.

    This is why I think you are only here to wum and in all honesty it's getting boring.

    I could ask you if your reading ability fades after the first line or are you just a slow reader? In fact, I will: Does your reading ability fade after the first line or are you just a slow reader?

    Let me know when you get to the bit that says that I'm not letting you try and hide behind an edit after you were called out for being an idiot.

    Look at the timing of the edit, it was straight away because I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings if they took the word "available" to heart.
    Seems I just wasted my fingertips.

    C.Kane was the first to pass comment on that post and the edit is already in his quote.

    You really have to do better than that, I was being serious but it's obvious many of you are a touch too high strung to get a conversation out of and only look to score some kind of points.

    Probably not. Levy will make any deal incredibly difficult for you.
    Mourinho only goes after experienced players who cost a ****load, though.
    That doesn't leave a lot of options in the fullback market at the moment.

    Thank you for very reasonable answer <ok>
    I worry about some on here sometimes but you, C.Kane and a couple of others actually read a post and give normal replies.

    You do try to wind people up, so it's hardly a surprise, is it?

    It leaves Walker and Rose. Who are experienced and will cost a ****load.

    And that's assuming Levy will sell, firstly, and secondly sell to another Prem club.

    With "try" (as in < must try harder > ) being the operative word in that sentence.

    TBF to myself I would have to say it's the newspapers that wind them up and when I point out that they are wrong it becomes my fault.
    Does anyone honestly believe United would try to buy all or even half of your defence, does anybody actually believe you would sell half or all of your defence?
    Apparently so because if I point out we would not go for half or all of your defence they get all whingey and uppity about it.

    Please feel free to try and wind another team board up if we're boring you.

    P.s.....good luck. They're not all quite as tolerant of Wums ( especialky piss poor ones)

    You don't think that Man Utd would try to buy players from another Premier League club with less money?
    It might not work, but even if it fails, you might unsettle those players if they hear about it.
    They definitely would, too.

    Mourinho talked about screwing over clubs in the same division by buying their best players recently.
    He did it in the context of taking a pop at Guardiola, La Liga and the Bundesliga, but he still said it.
    Do you really think that he wouldn't try it, if he thought it had any chance of working?

    Man Utd pulled it off with van Persie, while City did it with the rest of the Arsenal squad.
    They've got more financial clout than we have.

    Of course they would and do, just like every other PL club. Otherwise our league teams would be full of foreign and home grown players with none bought from other PL clubs.
    Do you think Mourinho spoke of some dark secret other managers didn't know about and use to their advantage, agents use the same trick when trying to get moves or a better contract for their players
    Believe me there have been very few players who have moved when they didn't want to, if a player becomes unsettled after being linked to another club then he isn't very happy where he is.

    Sessegnon was in the Championship team of the season, aged 16.

    Hmmmm. Tasty.

    Of course it wasn't a secret. It's something he's done in the past, as have Utd.

    Players can be entirely happy, until other clubs and agents get in their ears.
    They can remain happy after that too, but other teams won't know unless they try.
    You're claiming that these are ridiculous, unfounded rumours, but nothing you've said seems to support that.
