    Thanks for your sarcasm.

    However, you 'comment' ;
    is anything but clear.

    So, please save the smartness for when you're actually in a position to use it.

    <ok>

    That was your comment.

    One word and a smiley. In any context it is hardly full of depth.

  4. With the quote attached, one word was as clear as it needed to be. Simply put "never" was an incorrect claim :)

    My retort was that last summer doesnt apply because Suarez wasnt subject to a bid from any big clubs last summer.
    Just a half arsed attempt from a second rate London outfit <whistle>

  6. which is fair enough. I did say afterwards the two deals are worlds apart and that I was merely pointing out that "never" was a incorrect claim.

    £34 million <yikes> So he'll be the most expensive teenager of all time just because he's English. Man United are getting bent over and ****ed by Southampton if this is true!

    If they looked abroad, they could find a better left back, or at least someone as good, for probably half the price. But yeah, its the whole English thing.
    it's ******ed really.

    Christian Ansaldi?
    He plays for Zenit, decent left back, they would probably part with him for £20m.

    Used to play for Rubin Kazan, and owned Messi.

    Yeah, he sounds just the man to be part of our squad for the next fifteen years.

    Bet he's got bags of potential, guaranteed to settle in England, let's have him instead.

    ffs. Absurd.

    Ridiculous transfer for this sort of price. He's not worth more than £15million at best<doh>

    Paying Rooney £300k a week to get fat, so what's the problem blowing £30M on a kid, I don't see the problem.

    That's £22million every year going to Rooney and Shaw.

    You start to lose sponsorships and fail again to get into CL... that could be quite a yoke.

    Oh im sorry, I forgot that all footballers have 15 year contracts these days.
    Why does it have to be 15 years? THATS absurd.

    You offered up a 27 year old as an alternative.
    How is that similar? It's not even remotely close for God's sake.

    Part of the reason Shaw is so expensive is because he is young and has the potential to be at the club long term and become possibly world class.

    That Argie journeyman left back has NONE of those things.
