No player except maybe Messi is worth £50m. I said at the time it was a waste,especially seeing as we're trying to break even and all that. But it's Roman's money,let him spend how he wants.

Let's just settle for that then. I just hope Roman builds a team for the future and whoever is coach/manager in the future gets the best out of the players he's been bought by Roman.

For me as already mentined leave the badge colours alone. The traditional badge colours on a black/white or other colour shirt make it stand out nicely. Second no no is collars,they're awful and so 90's. Personally I'd love a 2nd or 3rd kit being orange. My favourite colour and I can't remember the last time we had an orange kit. Also as mentioned,I think Goalies kits should be green. Aslong as we never go down the Juventus- Palermo route of pink shirts,I'm happy. One more thing NEVER RED,EVER even as 3rd choice kit !!!!!

Exactly. Roman forced a £50m player on Carlo that he may not have wanted. Everyone knows Roman runs the show and likes to meddle in the running of the transfers. How do we know Luiz and Ramires weren't roman signings?

So you think Carlo bought them players? They were all his signings? I think it's a case of Roman telling him we're getting Torres and Luiz and just get on with it. I don't think carlo has that much say.

I think it's more Roman with Goulay etc that build the team rather than Carlo.

Beckham was great once upon a time believe it or not. Between '98 & '02-03 he was brilliant.

Dare I say that joining us was a mistake. Probably should have stuck it at West ham for a few more years. He's also been plagued with alot of injuries you have to remember.

He's fat and bald. No thanx.

Just because he hasn't scored in 5 games doesn't mean he's been dire in 5 games.

I thought not long ago Carlo said he wanted to be with us for 10 years,now he's dreaming of Roma or will leave if we don't make it into the CL. I wouldn't listen too much about what managers say.

He'll be gone again before we know it. His ego controls him and tells him where to go. We had alot of bad press with him,seems it was something new every week once. Besides why would Roman pay millions to get him back when it cost him £20m+ to get rid of him?

His team in general down the years has been very lucky.

Scholes is such an over rated,dirty little shit. Can't tackle to save his life. Never could understand the hype that he got,a bit like Gerrard,vastly over rated. I like Rooney now. After seeing his hair tonight,really put a smile on my face. Baldy fat bastard.

Please not Jose. If Carlo does go we need a long term manager,he'll be gone within a few years again. He'll bring bad press with him too.

He should have quit and told Crapello to shove the armband up his arse. Why was he dropped again? Because he visited the ex girlfriend of a team mate. Not the reported shagged a wife of a team mate, maybe Crapello shouldn't have been so hasty.

If I was to say the words; Drogba 4 games , Bosingwa 3 games and Van Persie ???? Would you know what i'm getting at.

Roney is a far better role model. A lovely,jolly,honest scouser that truely loves the England fans.

It'd be nice to get away from the big target man,lumping it up style of play. Start actually doing something in training,like passing sessions.

Joey Barton anyone??

It's just changed hasn't it,I remember now. Top 3 automatic however at the expense of the 4th place team possibly facing much tougher opposition. We're gonna get top 2 anyway,so it doesn't concern us,or win the CL.

Now you're being even more optimistic. Bos is on a free this summer. The likes of Zhirkov,Malouda and Anelka,I'm not sure about how long they have left on their contracts, probably not much , plus you have to factor in their age. Drogs,I can't see us getting that much for.

Yep. PL top 4 finish only. However IF for example Rottenham (or any team for that matter) were to win the CL but finished outside the top 4,they would get into the CL at the expense of the 4th place PL team. Top 2 PL teams qualify outright and go straight into the last 32 group stages,3rd and 4th have to play qualifiers. And I think 4th place is getting harder because they may have to face a decent Italian or Spanish team,ideally 1st or 2nd in the league would be nice. So basically only 4 English teams are allowed into the competition,except for the year Luckypool fluked it. But they are a special exception because of the style in which they won it and their great history etc. etc.ZZZZzzzzzzz

That's being veeeerrrrrrryyy optimistic there with them valuations. If we could get that for them,yes please. However,I'd keep Kalou . I'd like to see him in a central role along with Torres for a few full games, along with Sturridge he's young and quick.

:goodpost: :goodpost: :goodpost: All spot on. If the roles were reversed right now and we were top and started to look shaky the press would be all over us saying how Manu can catch us up,and the title race isn't over,Man u always come good around easter time blah , blah,etc etc. If we were in Man u's position right now I would definately be looking nervously over my shoulder.
