I'm With Stupid said:Who's this O'Leary you speak of? Did he work at the Trafford Utd academy when he was brought through the ranks with all the other young players?The Doctor said:And what price did Rio bring in 2002..........Leeds to MUFC
When Leeds signed him from West Ham for big bucks O'Leary said the first task I have is to teach Rio how to be a Centre Half.........
I think he turned out to be OK

He's only joking that according to all utd fans everyone of their players is home grown and they've never spent a penny

He's talented no disputing that. It's his attitude that really worries me. It's between two defenders, both are talented, one is willing to lose money in order to come here and one who is dragging their heels so much they've dug a trench. One of them will work their nads off in training and in games to show we were right to buy them the other already thinks they are the finished article and will act like they're doing us a favour just for being at the club. Lot of money to spend on someone with such a shit attitude.
What attitude ??? Its a big moment in his life and how do we not know he doesn`t want to join us.I have never seen any direct links to him saying this.He has his family life to consider as well.
Don`t know where you`ve got this notion that he thinks he`s the finished article just because he hasn`t so far made his mind up as to where he would like to play.

What attitude .... One of a guy who's clearly not got us in mind as his first choice club - so therefore it makes perfect sense to me that Benatia would suit our holistic aporoach and be our first choice as he on the other hand is very keen to come to City and prepared to write off a £3m bonus ... Also he's a better player than Mangala IMO .... no brainer really!!
