Really don't think he's worth £125m but I'll soon forget about that if he goes and bags 30+ goals a season.

When we were playing 75kg Jordan Henderson at CB a few years back, I joked that we'd be playing Shaqiri there the way things were going. Then we saw Robbo and Tsimi there in preseason. That said, in LC games we can play Chiesa there for all i care. It's just that we could rotate our CB's with Guehi in as well.

But anyway - Isak confirmed, and he's a tall lad.... :emoticon-0138-think

When United were top dogs, they overpaid for players on a regular basis (yeah, I know they still do), but it was worth it to them. I remember them buying Rio, Rooney, Carrick, and God knows how many others, and thinking "**** me, they're paying at least 30% too much for them" - but if 4 out of five of these buys work out, they are worth it, and you get to keep on the top of the hill. We're buying from a position of strength - like we used to do in the 70s and 80s.

And if you want to know what the ****ing long wait was all about. Had to make a glossy video first, cause that's the most important part <doh>

Bless you all for having to wait a few hours.

Be thankful it didn't include playing a piano like a certain Manchester debacle

Carrick was grossly over paid for but it worked out in the long term.

Yep, get that. However, they were all much younger with much better injury records.

As I said, if Isak goes and gets 30+ a season then all is good innit...<cheers>
