I totally disagree with you. And they both play different position at their best. Mata is an attacking midfielder while rooney is a forward. And u're comparing them in a wrong way.

well...shud we sign alexis sanchez?

Not really, Pep looks so old.

we're not like most clubs who would just buy players like because they're good.
remember barca bought ibra because he was good then found out he doesn't fit their system left him warming the bench then sold him.
i think since the transfer of veron the club doesn't just buy players for the sake of their reputation/talent/skills.
it would do his public image a whole world of good to be able to laugh at his own antics.
clearly he want to clean his image to get transferred away.
Haha, what a strategy.
Loving Woodward yet? 

but his ego is a not easy to handle and could easily unsettle the whole dressing room..

I'msorry but even with SAF at the helms i would be a bit worried about all of this going on. Can't the people running MANU see that if you try and save money on transfers it is NOT smart and we are going to lose sooooooo much money if we start to become another Arsenal which to be fair IS going to happen. I agree with another poster here unless we get serious WORLD CLASS players in we are going to be suffer this year

Instead of buying a thiago.. probably united should produce a thiago..
its been a while since we had someone world class out of the academy since the class of 92..(welbeck and cleverly can hardly be consider as world class now).. we need to produce someone like giggs, scholes..make direct impact on the first team

yeap i know..i think they should be given more chance
TBH i have not seen Januzaj and Amos in action yet..
just saying its been a while since we produce someone like giggs who at a early age come off the bench and make impact straight on the first team
i tot macheda would be it.. but after that goal against villa just..faded (well he did score in a few more games after that but now like..loan here loan there..no news edi) lol

mane bleh..Mata hot..tu je nak tarik gadis2..Mata Torres Oscar Hazard..kami bkn je main bola..kami jual muka gak huhuhu

MamulaMoon..

Terry we produced..

Lampard..from West Ham..we just enhance him a little bit..hehe

i think Levy (Spurs) is the best dealer is BPL. he bought reputable players kinda cheap prices/not overpaid and sold their players with premium prices.

though success/failure of his buys/team are not on his hands.

so, Bale for 60mil might just opening bid. not to mention the likes of Madrid will get involve.

Don't think it will happen.

Levy does not like selling top players to EPL rivals, and they have some friendly agreement in place with Madrid.

Unless Bale comes out and says he prefers United and really wants the move, which I doubt will happen... Berbatov's move last time was already incredibly hard. He had to come out and force the move, and even then it went through late and super expensive.

Verbal agreement? Was actually referring to the partnership agreement between Madrid and Spurs. That and Levy preferring to sell overseas (like he sold Modric to RM) are actually the 2 biggest reasons I doubt it will happen.

Verbal agreement means little or nothing, I agree. Thiago had a relatively cheap release clause. If there had been serious interest on both sides the deal would have been done in a week or less. Once the story dragged on, it was obvious that either United were not involved at all (i.e. press goreng cerita), or had backed out due to negotiations not working, or Thiago was fishing for another option and using the United link to his advantage.
