He's not talking about Balotelli...
oh ffs
epic fail

Fairy nuff
Balotelli to Citeh.. surely he isn't going to make a success of that, they'll not be able to control him methinks.
Dirk Kuyt. Rafa loves the defensive forward.
They played Pandev there last season and he did well. Milito upfront with Eto'o, Sneijder and Pandev won them the champions league.
High expectations from spending loads of money, a load of big egos who are all going to want to play but can't, and a pretty leaky defense. Recipe for disaster, IMO
Yeah, that will be the turning point for them. They would still be very hard to beat in Europe as Benitez sets his teams up well for European games. To add to that, the Italian league isn't really that strong so they're aren't many teams that could push Inter the whole way.
He may be loathed in Milan, but Mario Balotelli will be loved in the blue half of Manchester after snubbing Sir Alex Ferguson to join City
When will this nonsense stop?

If we were really interested, seems like we were priced out
City fans need that to big themselves up - feels like a trophy to them when they get one over United
Moratti says only 1 club have made offers - City.
So as far as we're concerned, we were not interested. If we were we'd have done something about it.
So City fans can feck off, they never got one over us as we never tried to sign him.
Some little cnut at my work this morning started spouting shite to me that Balotelli turned down more money from United to join City. It's that kind of shit that really pisses me off.

Thats where he got it from. Frankly I don't care either way, he'd have been a trouble signing for us so i'm happy he's gone elsewhere. The more signings City make the more the continuity goes. Its like they reboot every season.
He said that both Manchester clubs were interested though, not sure about official offers. Some newspaper said we made an offer.
If he joins City, I can see him leaving withint 2 years to Spain or back to italy
it's some sort of propaganda thing....a few days ago we had Yaya Toure saying the same thing and there s more to follow.
basically all their new signings can say that because united are continually being linked with half of the players on this planet
Robinho number 2 anybody 
So is this a Dunne deal yet?
Not yet. No reliable source has even confirmed an accepted bid.
Robinho number 2 anybody
Probably Robinho number 3. Silva was there first.
Yeah, I noticed that. Wouldn't surprise me if all their new signings had a stipulation in the contract that states they have to say they rejected United first.
It's just the most basic form of one-upmanship.
Small time.
Have City released the Balotelli Signing Commemorative Mug yet?
I want to see the Balotelli tattoos!
Is this a done deal yet?
Not yet. No reliable source has even confirmed an accepted bid.
No it's going to be a Silva, Toure, Balotelli commeorative snub Manchester United towel set.
Don't worry about it... It doesn't effect your ego. So what if he picked us over City, his choice!! However i really think his attitude would have been a problem however great signing for City if true.
Are the lads back in pre-season training yet...........
Great signing for City if true.
Would love to see him at United, but in Fergie we trust.

Not a fecking chance that is true.

I read that in the mirror this morning too
Indeed. If we were interested (which i very much doubt) then he would join us i am sure. Furthermore, the idea of us offering a bigger wage packet than City is laughable.
I wonder if all these new players have some kind of protection on their massive salaries if the arabs up and leave and stop bankrolling City. The ensuing havoc would be quite funny.
The way we do business is to sound clubs out well before making a bid.
We probably did enquire about Sneijder. We may also have enquired about Balotelli. In all likelihood we never got close to making an actual bid for either, in the former case because they were not going to sell, and in the latter case because City were involved.

The Daily Mirror seems to be confused, its City that offers more money but players might still prefer United if we had a bid accepted as well.
In that scenario, the money (and the players) would run out of the club as fast as the oil was leaking into the sea at Deep Horizon
I don't believe for one second we asked for Sneijder. When he left Real, he was already a famous player and available, yet we didn't show any interest in him. Fergie doesn't seem like a manager who develops interest just because a player has just played a good season. But then again, what do I know.
I don't see why Moratti would lie about it.
And all Ferguson said is that we didn't bid, which I'm sure is true. We also didn't bid for Benzema.
A lot has changed since a year ago in terms of United's needs.

Didn't we? I didn't know that, I thought we bid about 30 million euros (pounds?) for him.
I doubt we bid for Sjneider (sp) too
We defo did look for Benzema i reckon but the price was OTT
(possible dodged bullet even though i rate him)

I think we did for about 25 pounds. Madrid made a higher offer and he preferred to go there.
I doubt we made a bid for Sneijder or Balotelli but we probably enquired about them
35 Million Euro's in last years market if I am not mistaken.. Madrid paid around 35-40 Million Pounds..
