Like Anthony says, any large sums we get in will probably be eaten up by the debt again, a la ronaldo, and Fergie will continue his "no value in the market" spiel. I genuinely don't think we'd replace Vida if he was sold, so I'd rather we didn't sell him to be honest. I know this is probably our last chance of getting a significant figure for him, but what's the point if it's not reinvested in the squad? </p> http://www.unitedrant.co.uk/forum/topic/lack-of-transfer-activity-anyone-bored-yet/page/2#post-1358 Fri, 16 Jul 2010 10:26:49 +0000 Anthony 1358@http://www.unitedrant.co.uk/forum/ <p>What do you mean we would have money to spend if we sold Vidic? We fucking wouldn't because it will go straight on the debt like the Ronaldo money did. </p> http://www.unitedrant.co.uk/forum/topic/lack-of-transfer-activity-anyone-bored-yet/page/2#post-1342 Fri, 16 Jul 2010 00:10:43 +0000 sidney 1342@http://www.unitedrant.co.uk/forum/ <p>Vidic still needs to fuck off to Madrid</p> <p>So there's that money to spend, and the emergency player loan in the Bond document</p> <p>So a big signing could happen, but I doubt it, and I doubt even more that the Glazers would buy a 'big' player just to please the fans... they don't give a shit about us - they treat us like taxpayers. And they have no grasp of PR whatsoever. </p> http://www.unitedrant.co.uk/forum/topic/lack-of-transfer-activity-anyone-bored-yet/page/2#post-1339 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 23:29:44 +0000 bman 1339@http://www.unitedrant.co.uk/forum/ <p>I think Fergie is looking to bring in one big signing too, unless the selling club insists on insane money, which is likely tbh. It's interesting that City are starting to gripe about prices being high now too, and Barca needs a loan just to pay wages, which is incredible. The fact is that player salaries and transfer prices have gotten well out of hand over the past few seasons, we're really not the only club trying to rein things in and build a sustainable model with more of a focus on younger talent. </p> <p>I think when Fergie complains about there being no value, he's talking more about the lower end of the market than the high end. It seems impossible now to find players like Vidic and Evra at the money we got them for, anybody with the slightest bit of a buzz about them is £10M minimum these days. If you look at our transfers over the past few years, it's the lower-end buys like Vidic, Evra, Park, Van der Sar that have been really successful. In contrast we've forked out huge money for Anderson, Nani, Hargreaves, Tevez, Berba, which should have provided us with the basis for a whole new successful team, but we know how that has worked out. </p> http://www.unitedrant.co.uk/forum/topic/lack-of-transfer-activity-anyone-bored-yet/page/2#post-1329 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 21:47:39 +0000 Alfonso Bedoya 1329@http://www.unitedrant.co.uk/forum/ <p>Whether it's Balotelli or another player...

He is a player of great talent.</p> <p>"He has offers from other clubs and we are evaluating them."</p> <p>When asked to reveal what he would do if someone made an 'indecent proposal' for Balotelli, he added: "City and United are serious clubs who will be evaluating their transfer strategy.</p> <p>"For the moment, we are far from this solution."</p> <p>Fiery striker Balotelli is regarded as a hot prospect for the future and has been tipped by many to move to England this summer. </p> http://www.unitedrant.co.uk/forum/topic/lack-of-transfer-activity-anyone-bored-yet#post-1321 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 19:36:10 +0000 sukhy5 1321@http://www.unitedrant.co.uk/forum/ <p>07-08.
