We're ManchesteROFL United, we do what we want

Just a shame City fans don't have the bollocks to drink in the City Centre really.

Uniteds net transfer spend over last 3 years is lower than Hull and Blackpools.

Only because they sold ONE player for a ridiculous amount - otherwise they've spent c£100m

And again missing the point that its spend on wages that seperates clubs far far more than transfer net spend.

At least with United they have the revenue streams to support their spending/service the debt. If they make that much money then doesn't matter how they spend it really.

How can I possibly be missing the point ? TMD's point concerned the net transfer spend
I was simply answering his assertion.

So who's missed the point ?

TMD not you!

Was agreeing with you in the main

So would the first 4 in the Premier League.

And the 1st 4 in La Liga DO beat the 1st 4 in the PL!

Not in this years Champions League where both City and Chelsea were clear winners over their La Liga opposition.

That's not to say Utd haven't been resoundly beaten of course, or that the quality and consistency of the top teams in the Premier League hasn't left a lot to be desired too.

I do think there's an element of motivation in Utd's downfall in this tie. I don't think there can be much doubt that the Europa Cup, and the chance to knock out Utd, is more important to Athletico than it is Utd.

I think after last nights game, Premier League sides have played La Liga sides 6 times in the Champions League this season. They've won 4, drawn 2 and lost 0.

Not sure how that pans out over the last 3 or 4 or so but that's a decent record considering RR's statement.

Not sure I'd back Chelsea against Real Madrid mind!

No longer relevant!

And there lies the problem.

Can't help but think a quality central midfielder would have made all the difference this season and they cannot rely on the ageing Giggs and Scholes any longer. There have already been suggestions there will be a major overall of the squad on the close season.

[MmmMonsterMunch]

WIthout doubt the poorest Utd team for a long time. Definitely lacking a midfield dynamo. I suspect they'll be in for Modric soon enough although the Glazer's aren't exactly throwing the cash about.

LOL at the idiotic Man Utd fans texting the BBC saying Fergie should be sacked......What mongs!!!

Amazed they even got to 1st with that team. You can't polish a turd after all..

[Pseud O'Nym]

the Glazer's aren't exactly throwing the cash about.

Having put themselves in a position to be paying stupidly high interest on £450m of debt, they don't have much choice.

These clubs with dodgy foreign ownership....oh wait.

6 years ago Fergie spent £18m on Carrick. The year after he spent £17m on Hargreaves and £27m on Anderson but hasn't bought a central midfielder since. It's almost if he's got a mental block over the position, like Wengers had on goalkeepers and centre backs.

Until they fix the middle of the park I can't see them being the force they should be.

[FiNeRaIn]

Sig would be a good place to start, doesn't have the defensive capabilities of any of their midfielders but will score more than any of them and create more than any of them and would be affordable by their standards probably not counting as a big signing.

Well put.

Bet they wish they'd signed Lampard when they were linked with him in January and he was out of favour with AVB

[RobRoyal]

Wow TMD, you really did go too early with the counter-troll on this one, eh?

What do you think now? Surely it's all about newcastle v city. I can still see them blowing it there, but not against qpr.

[Jackson Corner]

Can't wait to see those plastic Mancs at the Mad Stad. 8 points and you oxf*rd it up.
