Not seen any comments in the media about the huge fee and wages. Imagine if we'd done that, there'd be mock outrage and radio phone-ins
Football wise it should boost utd for a couple of seasons - but they can only spend the money once - that £24m plus wages package could have gone elsewhere on the team, and arguably should have done
And what happens to the players displaced? Welbeck and Hernandez are young players who were going to get better - their progress will be halted now
There are some big negatives for Utd to come out of this. namely the average age of the squad just rocketed and they can't replace all the ageing players now
Fergie's gambling on winning the title back in 1 season. if he doesn't the Utd era is over. They will be left with half a team to replace in 12 months with nothing in the pot to pay for it
