yeah i agree Aquilani had potential but just didnt work out, it was a gamble signing him with his injury anyway IMO!

i think after we finished 2nd the old owners needed to back Rafa in transfer market, just a few more quality players might of changed things

But i put alot of it down to losing Xabi Alonso, we tried to play same way the year after he left however didnt have the creative CM in order to do that

Honestly feel sorry for you guys, thought Torres had more character than that, I hope for your sake he doesn't do a Tevez now.

Carroll being worth more than Suarez, Dzeko and Villa is a tragic refelection of the inflated state of todays transfer market, football is in a bad state

It's just January. Happens every year

your talking shit, for the past 3-4 seasons the money spent in january has been decreasing heavily and clubs have been looking for loan deals... City are an exception to this because they are an exception to football history to be honest with the way they have spent... Liverpool were cash rich and time poor, thats why the inflated fee, it's understandable but doesn't mean it's right though

thanks for the support fredsta, it's just devastating and it's good to know others understand to an extent

I rate Carroll but fuck

yeah i don't mind him but it's well and truly over the odds, so disappointing by the club, what happened to sabermetrics?

+1.

And I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Over and over and over and over
Over and over, la ...
I know it's over
And it never really began
But in my heart it was so real

Carroll isn't a bad player at all but fuck that's a lot of money.

Fuck you Torres, traitor scumbag.

His armband said he was a red, he lied, he lied.
The treatment table was his bed, we cried, we cried
Fernando you're a blue for life
And now Terry can fuck your wife
Andy Carroll is Liverpool's number 9.

this is how we felt when Tevez left us. He went one worse by going to cross town rivals.

I hope Carroll fails at Liverpool and you sell him back for half the price, Robbie Keane style.

Nuh-uh... Tevez was your fucking benchwarmer even though he was a better player than that when you had Berbatov, Rooney and others at the club

i can see it happening

This, I don't get how any Man Utd fan can compare this to Tevez leaving. Totally different situations.

What he means is that he was a fan favourite.

After paying 35m, I doubt we're selling him anywhere.

:lol: @ Ashley selling on his team's star player out from underneath the manager once again.

It just really bothers me how Torres left the club. So reminiscent of Michael Owen.

Hopefully this move goes as well for Nando as it did for Owen.

That would be sensational...and then he moves to Old Trafford on a free and we all get to truly hate him. :P

New avatar coming soon...

So... as proven he wasn't that integral to your team, yeah fans favourite but he wasn't crucial to how United fair

tevez kept saying he would sign on with united. the fans loved him and adored him and always wanted him to play. he kept saying to the fans, he would stay.


then he went and signed for city. of all the clubs to sign for, he signed for out cross town rivals. he didnt go there to win, he went there for money and everyone knew it. next thing you know hes gone from kissing the united badge to the city badge.

He went there cause Ferguson didn't sign him up because he didn't think what kia was asking was value for money... you wanna blame somebody for that, blame Ferguson cause he had the opportunity to sign him and he passed on it

Ferguson wasn't willing to fork over for Tevez, city were. He wasn't going to go back to west ham.

It was United's fault for not forking over. But I can understand why their fans would be disappointed.

Yeah. 18mil was a lot of money for Bent........ #-o

Ridiculous fee for both Torres and Carroll.

i didnt mind tevez moving, just not to city. he then goes on about how he wanted to play for them pretty much like torres saying hes now at a big club.

Which is exactly the same spiel Tevez gave when he joined United.

Well at least we now have two other strikers who should step it up. I guess Carroll to play a similar role as that of the forgotten and Suarez to be in and behind with Meireles and Gerrard stabling the centre of the midfield, finally allowing us to get fucking Lucas off the pitch.
