So basically

the club is handling the situation badly.

fans want reassurance that decisive steps are being taken to address the situation. Yet our transfer season has been anything but decisive.

The Cesc and Nasri situations are being allowed to drag the club down.

And fans' intelligence is being insulted, to a degree.

I concur.

If I was going to sum it all up, that's how I would say it. I agree with 99% of that article, except the bit he left out about Chamakh being shit (although he did hint at that by concluding our transfer dealings last season were catastrophic).

You know what really pisses me off- why is it that no f*ckin Manchester United player ever wants out of the club? Why is it that, even if they do, within a couple of weeks they change their minds? Take Ronaldo after the World Cup in 06, for example, or Rooney during the last season. Even in the rare event that a player totally and wholeheartedly wanted to leave the club, Ferguson wouldn't give in to their demands. In fact, he'd perhaps make a mockery of that player (e.g Heinze wanting to go to Liverpool only to be sold to Real Madrid)

Our club's a bloody laughing stock.

Yeah the thing is, don't make him angry, you wouldn't like him when he's angry...he throws sh*t around and everything.

Ronaldo didn't leave Man U? Who's that greasy git playing for Real then?

Fwiw, I think all this transfer bollocks going wrong is another side effect of the 'project', we need to make space in the squad and on the wage bill and those dragging their feet are only making it more difficult to act, Denilson's gone but there's still plenty knocking around who're unwilling to take less wages or take a step down a club to further their careers.

Darth, Ronaldo gave ManUre 3 good seasons after the World Cup debacle with Rooney. He, himself and the media created a huge story about him leaving and it looked for all the world like he was going to. However, he turned the corner, gave Ferguson and the Scum three great years and only THEN did he f*ck off to Real.

Compare that with us trying to appease our better players by giving them the captaincy. The same armband that Adams used to wear.

Please let's not get complacent about Denilson. He is NOT gone, he's on loan. He could come back and until that possibility is entirely erased we need to stay on guard.
