He "really wanted to go to Utd" (tm), but Moyes "wasn't convinced" he would be an improvement on stellar talents like Anderson and Cleverley who are both "world class" of course.

You may well scoff but I have a feeling that one day Cleverley will turn out to be a top-notch non-league rugby player.

Il think the 2 forwards are just about equal to 1 tevez to be honest and that's oly if negrado brings his form with him.

Don't feel like we will have improved, but if we get both we won't have gone backwards either so it gives pellegrini a good starting point considering no one else has made any significant improvements either.

Villanova must be lying - Fabregas "really wants to join Utd" - its in all the tabloids.

In reality, Utd's show bid has been exposed a little earlier than theyd have liked. At least they can pretend they tried for him and Ronaldo this summer, even though theres zero chance Barca or Real would sell those players to them or anyone else.

Ross Barkley or Fellaini are more likely as Moyes plumps for what he knows/can actually convince to sign. That's the real world and not the PR shit in todays rag fanzines.

We must be very far down the road to securing our targets because the mirror isnt mentioning it. always a good sign.

Is there supposed to be a comma after the why, or have you got some inside info? I'm intrigued if we've actually reserved it.

Would love.....just out of curiosity...love to know the backhanders paid to players/agents by AS Monaco and PSG to clinch Falcao and Cavani.

Ridiculous "career" moves for both, I'm sure amazing financial moves

no need for a comma. Someone on FB mentioned it yesterday that they had info that we've reserved it...any local cunt tell us what's on it now? if a bunch of knuckleheads are papering over it now or it's empty it might say something. Rumours of Rooney, and Ronaldo of course since they're rag legends, etc.

is it bullshit? how would i know. The person that posted it on FB is NOT Jai Three or anyone as awesome as that.

cheers
