    Cracking player Herrera. Shame he's not going to get as much game time as he'd like now that our midfield depth is so strong.

    It's a bit like Chelsea's situation with wingers and £27million Cuadrado...

    Yep, you've gone from having no decent CMs to buying too many.

    Last season you had a zillion no 10s and attacking midfielders, wingers.

    Maybe next season you'll buy some strikers, finally get a balanced squad and finish ahead of City.

    Instead you are hunting another inside out left winger in Pedro when you've given Young a new contract and just bought Depay.

    Players also chose clubs for location. eg London>Manchester. Maybe this is why Pedro is interested in Chelsea as well as United

    Location has certainly become a much more important factor than it used to be. Understandably most foreign players fancy the bright lights of London. I say understandably but what I mean is London is the place they've heard of. Personally I hate the place! Drills and sirens, the sounds of London!

    No ****!

    Your sarcastic wit is much better suited to student bars in the provinces than big cities.

    People in big cities are too busy being ****s to find any time to enjoy themselves.

    They do!

    But people in big cities don't find the time to be pleasant to each other or even make eye contact (perhaps because eye contact is considered an invitation to a fight!).

    Travelling on the tube in London is depressing. Everyone stares at their feet looking miserable.

    Lol you two jokers. Some could say that if you were in the big city being busy we wouldnt be sad old men chatting on a football forum....

    As for the tube yea its **** but tbh happy that there is a tube. As a youngster living in the provinces with a bus every hour that ended at 6pm, there was absolutely **** all to do sometimes if you werent gaming or playing football.

    On the tube just do what i do, watch yank tv shows or ogle at any fitty who gets on. ...

    CP, the OP - Pedro joining us and not money bags Manures, is testament to that 'It ain't about money!'.
