Anderson has not scored a goal in TWO years, he only runs at full pace with the ball, and has proved incapable of dictating the tempo of a game. I like Nani, I was just illustrating the point that Man Utd have no seasoned goalscorer from the middle of the park. Aguero may not be Ronaldo 2.0, but he clearly has all the attributes to become one of the top players in the world. And if we are so eager to demand 80 million for our best player (who happened to be the best player in the world), we cannot consider 40 million for a mecurial talent, who actually wants to play for us, and has all the potential to develop into the best player in world football too much. If the money were coming out of pocket, then yes, I'd be on the side of caution. But i rather we invest that money in a player than handing it over so willingly to the glazers as seemed to have happened. SAF says he doesnt want to overspend, yet layed out 18 million on a player not worth more than 12, if that. He lied to the fans, yet again, in saying we reinvest the money in the team. The squad is overrated. We struggled for goals last season and struggled against teams Liverpool were mopping the floor with in the latter part of the season. When teams went at our defence we often crumbled and lucked out that many strikers in the EPL are poor finishers. Are we a crap team? Of course not, but we're not as good as we think. Many people thought Ronaldo would develop into a great player, maybe not this great, but an excellent player nonetheless. He was on the radar of every major team in europe, so it's not as though he was an unknown quantity. Teams had been scouting him for years and Obertan from what i've seen is decent, but no Ronaldo in the making. And let's not forget, for every Ronaldo, there has been a djemba. So I'm not being gloomy, I'm looking back at the past season and making my judgment from that. I HOPE i'm wrong and I am a fan of the team no matter what happens, but i am not one for empty optimism. @Madschester United: You don’t come to manchester United and not have high expectations of you.
