Castiel said:Why? Rooney has been a revelation for them where he is now. They're in absolute dire need of some midfielders and they want to spunk money away on a winger/AMC? Ludicrous. The 2 derby matches you dominated them in this season were precisely because they have no midfield.Tevez City said:Castiel said:Why do United want him anyway? They have a squad composed entirely of wingers and they're screaming out for a CM or even a DM.
It seems just as strange as trying to sign Sneijder when they needed a CM. I swear if Ferguson had City or Chelsea resources he'd make some massive mistakes.
I think he will play behind Rooney.
Im sorry but that is arrogance beyond beliefonceabluealways said:All you people saying he would be no good for the rags have it wrong 'if he's as good as his record suggest' He can play in the hole which allows rooney to go more forward he has tons of assist .
He also fits the rags bill - yes they may pay 30 mill but if he comes up trumps he'll be off to madrid / us for 50 in a few years.
I haven't seen much of him myself but if he is the next comingat 21 then he'll end up being a bargain and they get a great playerto boot.
My only hope if we don't get him that he's not as good as people say - i'll add if he was that good surely the belgian team would be a bit better

We have to get used to this now. If he goes to the swamp then fine, but we all know he will be papering over the cracks. City will have other targets, they wont be dictated to in the market these days so we can be calm, and patient, and trust the club to do whats best for City.
In my opinion the lad at AC Milan, Thiago Silva, would be a much better buy as I feel the back should be our priority. In terms of the forward line its a case of 'if it aint broke, dont fix it'.

But I think he did better when he played as a striker.
In addition to that, Ferguson wants to imitate Barcelona by playing with fast & skilful forwards and he don't want to use a typical tall striker and that's why Berbatov didn't play a lot this season.
