Would be fun to see Argentina battle there asses off for once.

I would love for the rags to lose Rio to a spanish side so I would only have to see his ugly mug in the champions league and also weaken their side.

[The Man In Blue]

all together now....

"cooooooooooooooossssssssssssssss united are a selling club"

If the rags have got another Vidic lined up somewhere, milking a fortune out of those Spanish prats for a constantly injured alleged drugged up, bent dicked tw@ like Rio may not be such a bad thing & may allow them to buy some forwards. I hope he stays.

I wouldnt be surprised if the RAGs started the rumour to try and drum some interest up in him so they can offload him (especially if that rumour of him failing an internal drug test is true)
