Awful signing and pretty much everyone on here would have said the same before we somehow ended up with him, Man U must be laughing behind our backs at this deal, they sign a top class forward for peanuts whilst we give them an extra 10 million on top for a guy who can't score for toffee and who they'd have had trouble getting rid of for 5 million never mind 16.

We look like mugs right now sadly, Hernandez would have been a much better bet, we've signed the new Emile Heskey a player who gets picked for England based on some fantasy idea that he's actually any good.
well thats not true. They might have paid a small loan fee, however they are paying him in wages over a million a month. Thats hardly peanuts. And when you think of the wages they pay rooney, judas and Mata, they are paying close to a million pounds per week for four players, we cannot and should not do that. And he isn't the player they need, scoring goals wasn't their problem last year, it was conceding them. The fact they haven't signed a defender is utterly stupid although not complaining.

However, you might be right with Welbeck but he's better then Sanogo. Don't get me wrong, I wish we had done better this window with a defender and midfielder, but as someone said, if we signed welbeck first and sanchez last night we would all be over the moon. Will Welbeck win us the title? I doubt it, but Falcao won't win united the title either, and i still don't think he will get them top four. They haven't got a defence or a decent midfield
