Transfers this Summer
You have got to love Fergie. If there is one area in which the squad is currently weak it is in defence. A lot of juggling can be done back there, with Wesley and O’Pie able to play in many positions, but another centre-back or full-back of decent quality would be very useful.
So of course the big man has made a sulking, yet sublimely gifted, striker his sole transfer target this summer. Optimistically I see shades of - wait for it - Cantona in Berbatov’s play. To see him running around with Rooney is something to look forward to.
Down in Stamfordgrad Ambramovich’s mission to destroy the game is gathering pace. How appropriate that a club whose initials are CFC should be slowly eroding the soul of football.
This morning I read that they are dropping funds equivalent to the cost of building 15 hospitals on the doorsteps of AC Milan. All this so that they can head off with Kaka in a limousine sporting blacked out windows. He is a decent player Kaka and will definitely make them more tricky.
There are a lot of decent people working hard in our league but with every transfer of this size I see the gap widening and it doesn’t make me happy. It would be justice for the game if United and Arsenal finished above Chelsea this season. How annoying that Roman seems hell-bent on spending money until he gets what he wants.
As I said this time last year, we are duty bound to keep those men in blue at bay. The thought of their evil clutches on the biggest prizes is too hideous to bear.
