The quiet man of football has since his retirement spouted crap through his column on paddy power. The latest one, digging at southampton for our high asking price for shaw. Why do we need another man united fan saying crap, we already have to deal with mcnulty on bbc.
 
Having read the article, he's really talking about how the high price of English players means that not enough of them play in the EPL, but why he mentions Luke I have no idea, since he already plays in the EPL. Should have mentioned how well we are doing giving English players a chance...since that is what the article is about....but then he wouldn't, would he?

Because he's a man united fan and wanting to see what's best for his club. Too many Man U fans get a say these days. I don't like the big club mentality of "we want, we get". Just trying to upset the apple cart.
 
thing is as well, he wants a 30 goal a season striker for that... does he think he'll get luis suarez (minus the disciplinary problems) for that? idiot.

posted this in the wrong thread :(

we're not shopping in the same league. 18m for those two looks expensive to us, but if cardiff can afford to keep them and want to keep them they can demand what they want.

otherwise we have to go shopping in countries where our money goes further.

Personally I think £8m for Caulker would be good business. If you believe it of course...
 
Yeah, I know what he was TRYING to say, but I don't think he did a good job saying it. Partly because it's not really a very good point, and partly because he's got subconsciously biased. Don't think he was trying to slam Saints for asking too much, just saying English players go for too much money.

Which is true. When we get the Shaw money I hope we invest it in cheap foreign players myself. Rather than lamenting the fee the players go for though, he'd be better off arguing that those players stick with their clubs regardless. It's not so much us asking for that much money, but rather Man U being willing to pay it (and then failing to develop the players once acquired).

What would help English football is if the FA paid Saints and not other clubs.
