Special Juan

The fee and wages are both astronomical.

The Rooney deal is already a bench mark, and it's filtered down to possibly the 100k a week that it sounds like Shaw could be receiving. I'd be absolutely livid if I was a United fan tying Rooney up to that sort of money.......nothing short of financial madness.

Woodward has told Ferdinand, Chris Woods and Phil Neville to walk the walk.

That's the future of Chelsea right there, Jose Mourinho and Eden Hazard.

I don't know what it is about Gigi

Sounds like a great time, hope it was enjoyable.

For the money and if true, I say if, I think it's a really smart piece of business by us. This guy is like itchy balls, it's not the most likeable thing but once it's done you are pleased.

Keep up the sterling work.

Absolute buzzing for this lad. The most consistent player of all, all season. Brilliant player, well done son.

Ferdinand is leaving United also at the end of the season.

Let's wait and see, this is just silly season beginning all over again.

I'm just delighted he not only got two games but also put in a great shift against what is described as 'The best team in the league' by certain pundits.

£10 on them to lose the league to Barcelona and CL to Real. They've had their chance for me, but I hope I am wrong.

Love to see Wigan send this lot packing. The highlight of their footballing life was beating us in Foy gate.

No reason this kid cannot force his way into a constant starting role next season for me. Hard work, determination and a good pre-season and anything is possible. No way I am writing off a player on half a season and based on cameo performances.

Deary me On Pepe Mel…..I'm sure I have been in a pub longer than he was in a job.

Lets make the right signings first.

Like I said, lets wait and see before we go closing threads up based only on rumors and reports.

No I did, is that an issue?

Pepe Mel has left WBA. http://www.wba.co.uk/news/article/albion-part-company-with-pepe-mel-1547742.aspx

I'm sorry but the Mirror isn't a credible source to warrant locking a thread. Let's wait for SKY Sports News or BBC to confirm then we batten down the hatches, until then the show must go on.

This guy isn't the leader of a faction, he is a player that isn't a regular starter, hasn't got a designated position due to indifferent performances and he is also a cash kitty to go spend on a position we need.

If true that is a lot of money.

A lot of Boro fans I know think he's been really good. He's featured a lot and I think in the long run it will stand him in a very good way.

That's a big head on that pint of bitter.
