He knows he's never going to be able to emulate Ferguson's record at United, despite all the respect he has for the man. A more realistic destination would be City where he can create a dynasty without the fear of being overshadowed by the reputation of his predecessor.

Ashley Cole ‏@TheRealAC3 @JMcEachran20 good luck tonight mate hope you enjoy the game, do well and show people your ability

If Robbie really wants him I wouldn't be surprised if it's because he sees the possibility of using him up front. With much better players around him than there are at Wigan, it could be an option.

I think of these things in this way - would I rather have him on their squad or ours? I'd definitely have Moses on ours, a nice option to come off the bench and run at defenders.

Exactly. Think Strike's nitpicking a bit to be honest.

That's what I meant, the power behind those kicks means they can't do much about it even if they know where he's going to put it. Hasn't worked out too badly for him so far, has it?

There's no pleasing some people. Good ol' TC.

Whether they know it or not, they don't seem able to actually do something about it.

Terry MOTM for me.

Higuain puts Real 1-0 up against Valencia. Took 3 bites at the cherry to do it though.

They'll have no problems staying up if they play the way they did today.

Wish he'd stop lumping it forward at every opportunity. Drogba's in China now, remember.

Haven't read it as being confirmed anywhere. It;s difficult to find any rhythm once you're back from injury if you don't get any playing time. Safe to say he'd walk into both of those English teams as first choice every day of the year and a run of games is all he needs to get back to the imperious levels he was at with BvB.

What depresses me about this is they'll get Sahin on loan now. Why aren't we after the Turk baffles me.

Now if Newcastle can keep the good day going by shutting up Villas Boas, would round off a great Sat for us.

Excellent Lulu. Doing your talking on the pitch is the way to make Chelsea regret not playing you.

Yes, a perfect Bosingwa reminder.

Found his level

Think they've panicked considering City's rise. For the past few seasons Ferguson has turned to securing young players with the potential to be stars one day. Breaking his self imposed restrictions for a 29 year old who costs a fair bit upfront in addition to his monumental wages (I've read ~200k floating about) on an area of the pitch they're already well stocked in seems a bit daft at first glance. Then again, they've been after him for a good month now, so he must have an idea in his head about how he's going to pack all those attacking talents into one team. Nevertheless the thought that they could have used this money for addressing the pressing need of a midfield orchestrator but chose not to gladdens me no end.

We wouldn't have let Hutchinson go on loan to Forest had the club not been confident of landing Cesar in the very imminent future.

Makes me happy United have spent a considerable sum on what is already a bit of a luxury area for them.

Fatman and Robin up front for Yernited next season.

Since when has mouthing off to the press about playing time become the equivalent of displaying 'character'? For a footballer, character is displayed on the pitch and Lukaku has yet to come close to doing so (in a Chelsea shirt).

Sure, now you decide what constitutes a supporter.

Reeks of a sense of entitlement, if you ask me. He shares the responsibility with the coaching staff for not bring good enough to get minutes on the pitch. He's young, obviously, but let's be honest he was shocking for the most part whenever he got some game time. Nonsense. Blame yourself for being unable to contribute to the team's cause. Comes across as a bit of a cry baby, hopefully it's just him acting his age.
