We will never know, but I wonder if he would have done better with us. However, glad he didn't come here as he could be disruptive. Tried to outsmart Nicola and failed. Could never understand why United wanted him...wouldn't have thought he was on their scale.
Buttner has said (on leaving United) that he is looking forward to playing in the Champions' League and winning trophies. Ouch!
Fernando joins Man City for 12m. Man Utd's bid of 29m for Herrera rejected. Hull's bid for Snodgrass accepted.
£8m for Snodgrass apparently. Their spending this summer is not smart. Nor is United's bid for Herrera. He's not worth that. Fernando an excellent buy though.
Snodgrass? Considering he had one year left on his contract at Norwich I don't know how they've managed to get that much money out of him. Good for set pieces and he's a decent winger, but he wasn't consistent last season. £16m has got them Livermore and Snodgrass. We paid less than that for Rodriguez and Lovren.
Well I'm not going to defend the Livermore fee, he's pretty average. I think Snodgrass was consistently Norwich's best player last season and the one before though.
But £8million for a player with one season left on his contract and playing for a Championship team? That's excessive.
