At least the saga is over.
Pro's for United.
They get a 29 year old striker who looks in his prime. Left footed as well. The player gets game time and they can now shift Berbaflop. It goes someway to making sure GD is closer.
Pro's for us.
We wanted a strike partner for Aguero but Tevez is back. RVP is good, but not good enough to shift him out of the side. £24m can now be spent elsewhere. Hazard could be a good example of a dodged bullet. I think RVP will be another.
Con's for United.
£24m is a lot of money for a striker with RVP's medical history. Losing him for say a third of season would cost them dearly. Little Penis and Wellbeck may start to assess their position at the club. The club may feel that the pressure to win versus pressure of debt is too much. A potless season and Fergie's imminent retirement would see them in turmoil.
Con's for Us.
Our rivals strengthen. Juve would have been the best destination for him if we were not to sign him. We still need a reliable top class 3rd striker. Dzeko and Balotelli are likeable and have ability but I have niggling feeling of doubt(related to skill or temperant) that I cannot shake off. There's also a worry if plans to sell Tevez were already agreed.<br /><br />-- Wed Aug 15, 2012 8:38 pm --<br /><br />
Probably naming rights of some sorts. They need revenues sharpish.

Agreed. Can you imagine if we'd been able to get the players we really wanted with our generous owners. We'd be taking over Barca within 4-5 years and become better than they ever have been. People call it the beautiful game but then cry when an ambitious team comes to the fore and threatens their team. If anything the game the world enjoys will suffer by trying to stifle us, it's their loss however even FFP won't hold us back but rather just delay the inevitable. If anything their complaining is making our success more enjoyable, CTID
