trouble is (and it is only June still) - it is beginning to look like these sheiks are serious.
I am am sure - like me - many on here have a really good year taking the piss out of the bitters - confident that they will not get top players... but I am really concerned that this Etoo signing - if it happens - could be a big turning point.
Forget CITY - but imagine if we were discussing any of our normal challengers (if other rumours are true) with a line up of:
----------------- Given---------------------
Maicon---------------Toure------------------Lescott-----------------Bridge
------------Ireland--------------------------Barry----
--------Tevez-------------------------------------Robinho
---------------------------Etoo
With squad players including 3 of the current U21 squad, wright-phillips, santa cruz, de jong, kompany, bellemey etc etc
we would actually be a little worried - just cannot stand that the sheik chose them when he could have chosen anyone -us would have been nice - I know that sounds like jealousy but they have done ****-all to deserve it
Now this makes me smile a little-taken from Manutdtalk.
