Fair do's...explanation approved



And I also noticed that new Wigan player too and thought he was never ever 24...did he go to the same school as Stanley Gene???

Football's Stanley Gene?

Why not try reading the thread you whopper. I was replying to SAF's love child who stated that Johnson was England's 2nd choice right back. I think it's fair enough to hear who his first choice was.

That humour at the end has made my day by the way....aye aye aye!!!!

Why have Wigan signed Dwain Chambers' dad?

I'd possibly agree with the overrated bit, but he is much, much better than a "decent player" in my view. He isn't your 20 goal a season striker, but he adds an awful lot to the team. Playing off a proper front man (Eto'o ideally, RSC as a compromise) he will be brilliant.

The fact that United fans idolised him is typical of United fans. In fairness, he showed commitment on the pitch, which is a sure fire way to get fans on your side. We associated that style of play with him loving the club. When the chance came to stay at the club he apparently loved he rejected it. He blamed it on United not showing him respect. B**locks. I'll give it until September before he's quoted saying how much he loves the fans and feels totally at home at City (as he did with West Ham and United). He will be a hero there. When he decides to leave, it won't be his fault, it'll be someone else that didn't respect him. Maybe Stephen Ireland will push in the dinner que, maybe Micah Richards will sit in his favourite seat on the team bus, maybe Mark Hughes will dare not start him. Who knows.

If Tevez plays on a regular basis at city he will be quality (see his first season at Utd).

If Tevez is on the bench for half the season at city he will be average (see his second season at Utd).

Quite simple really.

Maxi Rodriguez could be available this summer, with Spurs looking to sign him according to goal.com

Think he'd be worth a gamble. Top player. Would be good to see him at Liverpool, with my red hat on.

I don't think you lot every take those hats and specs off

Poor barstewards

I love Tevez for his work rate and all round play and his knack of getting very late and important goals. He is never going to be your top scorer, but he'll make up for that with his other play.

I didn't want him to leave, and thought that a decent offer would tempt him to stay, as it was it didn't and instead he (or his agent) wanted to sell his ar$e to the highest bidder, which is City. Yes, I know it's modern day footballers, but to pi$$ off to the other side of Manchester is very annoying.

In Owen we will have a better goalscorer than Tevez, but we won't have Tevez' workrate / fitness levels.

Simples.

Michael Owen has signed a two year deal at Old Trafford apparently.

Confirmed on SSN. The most bizarre transfer of the summer, but it could be a masterstroke.

Doesn't really bother me that Tevez went to City. I'd rather he went there than Liverpool or Chelsea, and I would like him to do well there, I was happy for Schmeichel when he was there. It would be good for Manchester if City became a force and squeezed out one of the other big four.

The Owen to United transfer is a funny one because its been something I've been saying to my mates for a couple of years that I wouldn't mind Owen at OT and people generally scoffed at it and said he wasn't a United standard player. I fancied going for him or Anelka in the transfer window a couple of years back but it didn't happen...I'm quite pleased with this move. Reckon he will hit about 15-16 goals for United and get in the England team for SA.

I think it's a Fantastic signing for both parties involved, Dismiss his Injury troubles (Although on paper it is hard to ignore) and you have a top quality Goalscorer there on a Free Transfer on i'd imagine £40/50,000 a week, It is a masterstroke by Ferguson IMO...

Man U fans reaction on fred tissue is funny to say the least.

This the same goalscorer who went down with the toon? or has he been reborn as the owen of 2001.

give over mark, you can't seriously think that johnson is the second choice right back, capello doesn't think so. as for barry thank the lord jesus he has gone to citeh, i have never rated him, and he is just a greedy b'stard who has shafted villa and their fans.

i don't think you will find many liverpool fans who disagree with you........but he is the youngest ever winner of the brazillian player of the year award ( knows how)

More surely. He seems to have an inflated idea of his own talent.

He's an upgraded version of Owen 2001. Just being in a United shirt and and listening to Fergie will probably make him the best striker in the world. If Chelsea or Citeh enquired about buying him, they'd be quoted a price of 60m.

If he's on a well structured pay-as-you-pay deal then it's a potential masterstroke by Fergie. If he's on 50k a week then Fergie could have just pi55ed 5 million down the drain.

It's ok, it's not his money.

[iIt was reported by the Press Association that Ferguson has struck a pay-as-you-play deal, with the player also taking a significant salary cut from the £110,000-a-week wages he was said to be on at St James' Park. [/i
