btw, whatever happened to the next potential England star Januzaj? A few months ago the press were desperate for him yo play for Engerland because he scored two goals against a crap team and was therefore assumed to be the next Big Thing?

Not that I care, except that the press make me sick

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal says he is "disgusted" by reports that the club is going to spend heavily on new players.

And on the same day

From United chief executive Ed Woodward - Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has been told money is no barrier

Um, the reports are coming from your Chief Exectutive you Mutant Hypocrisy Ninja Turtle

Wasn't he last years Best Under 21 in world football? Or something similar.

He'll probably be on loan at Swansea this time next year and that we'll be the last we hear about him

So, these Utd 'splurge' stories then.

Someone is very clearly upset and worried about our financial report aren't they?

Diddums.

HOMEGROWN TALENT RANKING October 2014
1. Barcelona - 43 (13 still at the club; 30 in top five Euro leagues)
2. Manchester United - 36 (12; 24)
3. Real Madrid - 34 (8; 26)
4. Lyon - 33 (15; 18)
5. Paris Saint-Germain - 27 (5; 22)

45= Southampton - 12 (4; 8)
45= Chelsea - 12 (3; 9)
45= Manchester City - 12 (1; 11)
It makes sense to develop home grown talent. That's why City are investing in their academy system so I would hope that in future City were well up the home grown talent rankings.

Aren't these the stats that came out a couple of months ago? 'Home grown' doesn't necessarily mean brought through that club's academy, just players who came through any club at an early age. The rags' stats include Rooney, Carrick, Januzaj, Jones, Lingard, Smalling, Young and Rafael while City's include Hart, Milner, Lampard, Boyata, Sinclair, Guidetti, Wright and Clichy. In other words it's a load of misleading horse shit.

I'm not ashamed at all. We play in a league which attracts more overseas players than any other and have undergone a massive culture change from top to bottom. Many of our youngsters have gone on to have good (and lucrative) careers in football outside the top leagues.
