All I said was that it's possible that we might go for Stekelenburg and it'd make sense due to value in that transfer. We went for De Gea.
I never said we would definitely go for Charlie Adam, only that it was a possibility because he was inexpensive and was praised by Ferguson on one or two occasions.
I said we wouldn't sign two midfielders like plenty on here predicted, and that we might not sign even one if we cannot get him at a decent price and it'd be hard to do that because everyone knows how much we need a midfielder. Ferguson and Gil have basically said exactly the same thing on the subject recently.
I predicted we wouldn't spend over £30m in the window and I might be wrong about this as our net spend at the moment is around £42m (assuming De Gea cost £17m, Young cost £15m and Jones cost £16m as it has been reported, while O'Shea went for £4m and Brown cost £2m) and the only way it will go below £30m is if we sell Berbatov. We will most likely still sell Kuszczak as we don't need him but he will cost £4m tops, Gibson will probably go for a similar price and Diouf won't cost much above £1m.
I can see us signing Sneijder if Inter agree to do the deal at a decent price and he doesn't demand a raise himself. At £38m plus £200k a week that has been reported I think we wouldn't do the deal, but that's just my opinion.
Perhaps I've been a little pessimistic but I cannot see where I would be so wrong that it needs to be pointed out every single time I come to a thread.
I like your optimism
