Unless Nigel has his eye on a specific player and that player was willing to drop a league, this story has no legs. The only reason to sell Oxo is to get lots of lovely dosh to buy player(s) that we really want and to help balance books.
We would be silly to take any player exchange deal off United and not straight cash, Brown and Obertan as stated above wouldn't want to drop a division in the first place and even if they did their wages would be huge. If we got one or two of Ravel Morrision/ Paul Pogba / Keane Brothers off them in a swap + Cash to futher improve the side then we should deal , but United are never going to give us that! I dont want to see Alex go but if in the long run it's better for the club then i won't be protesting at all!
The mirror have said that he's gone to Arsenal for 12 mil, and will join them on July 1st. That means he will sign a contract extension with us then.
Someone on S-Web reckons it will be confirmed tomorrow. Has a newspaper actually got something right for the first time ever?! As long as they get Cork > Saints right as well! £12 million, I presume neither ARSEnal or Manure were going to go over that then.
