This is what makes good managers and is also why none of you are managers. Alot of you, for whatever reason, don't want to buy players that have alot of potential. You'd rather wait untill they're double the price. Thank god you don't run the club.

Oh there is no way to stop a well orchestrated, deadly counter attack (unless you have pacy defenders like Cap said). Just ask Barcelona (Twice raped by our and Inter Milan's counter attacks).
