Just been announced of TalkSport that Van Nistelrooy has finally been sold to Real.

I assume Fergie has a good replacement lined up. Not that I care mind.

Underwhelmed to be honest, mac. Looked ok in patches for Birmingham but 6mil+ is a lot of wonga.
25% to the Arsenal.... which is nice... :P
I can understand the 25% to Arsenal but we seem to be great at getting stitched up in the trasnfer market 8O Obviously hope he comes good and can link up with Crouch but, apart from the Sweden goal, I aint overwhelemed by Crouchies heading ability either. St Michael is a better header of the ball IMO. We'll see

Everyone except Arsene Wenger is great at getting stitched up in the transfer market.

He paid about 9 million for Francis Jeffers IIRC.

Sure, but it's not exactly regular cockups of the Veron, Djemba-Djemba, Kleberson league.

Yeah: not the best. Except when he played against us, I seem to remember :(
Zoot will clarify, doubtless ;)

Fergie has always been a big hit or miss buyer.

You could buy Solskjaer (1.5m), Cantona (1.1m) and Schmeichel (550k) for an eigth of what he paid for Veron. 3 absolute bargains.

My thoughts on Manchester United's transfer strategy are well known on here. Veron, Taibi, Kleberson, Barthez, Djemba-Djemba..... the list is long and painful.

Nevertheless, Carrick is a good signing, I feel. I just think that he was pinning his hopes on Fernando Torres, and now, once again, is left with an innefective strike-force. Oh well....

Best suggestion in the transfer market for me:

Fergie out.
Anyone else in.

Sorted, innit?
