Re: it's nice...

Ahem, one Dimatar Berbatov turned you down as well (though you may well say thank fuck for that!)

And lets face it, Eto doesn't want to come, eventually he may be pushed out the door and as it appears no one else is in for him and even if they were you would financially blow them away then he might end up at your place.

Don't know whether Benzema turned us down or not, not sure we were ever in for him, Im under no illusion where he would have chosen though, I cannot ever remember a foreign player choosing us over one of the big European teams

The fact remains that money or not its difficult to get top stars to this city, I can remember as far back as Platini in 82 and United being linked with him, but he fucked us off as well to go juve and we were still chasing the cunt in 86 when he was hanging up his boots, similarly we only got blanc when he was well past it.

I think we're always in with a chance with North Europeans, your germans, scandanavians, Dutch etc but they're producing no one worth having these days, your latins don't really want to come here.

You're confusing me with some student type from fuck knows where if you think I will be arsed about who we do or don't sign, if they dont want to play for us let them fuck off to madrid, city or anywhere else, I aint arsed.

Should be an interesting season, I'll be around to give a sensible red perspective on and off the field as long as the board stays half sensible.
