Relax already! It's quite natural our first choice target is usually going to be better than our second choice.

I agree. Don't have a problem with that, but Villa fans must have been rubbing their hands when we took him. He always starts the season well, then disappears for big chunks of it. Hopefully he will be better this season and the England outings haven't made him lose confidence.
 
The right winger for Brazil scored but he's looked awful. How does Lucas not get a game ahead of him?

Romulo's a centre mid, isn't he? A very mediocre one indeed but plays in a different position to Lucas.

No idea. But he's out wide today. Why would they play a central midfielder there ahead of Lucas?

Yeah - rubbing their hands losing their best player. May not be outstanding all of the time but a very good player for the money.

Romulo plays predominately as a defensive minded centre mid. No idea why he played that role tonight. Maybe Lucas's head isn't in the right place with all this transfer lark.
 
Fergie has seemed to want versatile forwards the last 3 windows, first Ozil, then Sanchez was bid for while the Young deal was already done, then this year we tried for Hazard and Kagawa, got one and moved to Lucas to replace Hazard, so it wouldn't be a huge surprise if Fergie had a 3rd option if/when the Lucas deal falls through.
 
Our recent failures suggest we're drawing it in the wrong place.

Do we want to go down the Arsenal path? Content to watch City/Chelsea hover up the best players, while we resign ourselves to fighting for third/fourth place in the Premiership?

A future where we continually fail to sign our targets, while making ever vaster profits,which remain unspent, and accumulate in our bank account, until eventually finding their way to the pockets of our owners. How is that a good thing?
Chelsea? We did that long ago when we went for the 'cheap/young' route. We failed to sign Robben, Duff, Shearer, Batistuta.. and I'm sure there's plenty more, but we're still on top. You are just like those idiots who thinks we should spend the money just for the sake of it.

DDG
Rafael-Rio-Vida-Evra (Jones, Smalling, Evans)
Valencia-Cleverley/Scholes-Carrick/Ando-Nani(Young, Giggs, Powell)
Kagawa
Rooney(Welbeck, Hernandez)

Not a whole lot of wrong there. Just need the LB cover and we're good to go again. And a bit of luck with regards to injuries to Cleverley and Ando.
 
was that really the case? It didn't seem like it. Besides the fact they were/are two completely different players in different positions, I think fergie would've moved for ronaldo regardless of landing ronaldinho or not.

Nah, there's no chance he'd have bought both of them in one summer.
 
L.Moura talked to 'Folha' after the game about PSG: This is the good thing, I'll stay at SPFC until the end of the year. It's well underway'

That's that, then.
