It was a joke a long long time before Souness arrived....

Don't know about anyone else, but whenever Woody and to a lesser extent Dyer, went in for a tackle, I'm always worried they'll come out the other side hobbling. Emre looks to hobble out of challenges too.

I'd love to bring in a left-back, but can't see it happening. I do though feel that neither Stevie Taylor or Peter Ramage have let us down when played out wide. Lets put it this way I wouldn't want daft money being spent on that position.

If someone like Woody (not the sharpest knife in the draw to be fair) can speak fluent Spanish in under a year, just how thick must David Beckham be? 17158[/snapback] I can tell you that Jonny "village" Woodgate IS definitely the thickest footballer on this planet. He makes Shola look like a genius.. Sean Wright-Phillips runs them both quite close though.

Have I missed something? Am I about to have my first topic start in AGES callously deleted

It would have been quite easy to miss this from lil Al at the Chron "And still on the good news front, I understand that United have made a breakthrough in their bid to sign another striker apart from Owen, and this will happen in the next 24 hours. Certainly, United have not given up hope of still bringing in Albert Luque from Deportivo La Coruna after offering the Spanish club e12m - £8.5m - for the 27-year-old striker" If I hold my breath, how long will it be until I die...

I looked through a lot of the posts on there, and really couldn't bring myself to reply. I do think the fee is too much, but the way I see it we have very little choice if we are to stand a chance of getting him.. Rather pay over the odds on Michael Owen than a Viduka, Anelka, Luque..

I've seen him for Crewe twice live, and for Norwich a couple of times on the tele last season. And I can't for the life of think what all the fuss is about. He's slow and distinctly average. We need to get in somebody who could replace Al, Ashton can't... ever

To make matters worse... He's garbage.. You can accept players that are gobby and brilliant, but gobby and rubbish, get RID

I think that is them. I beleive they're asking the waitress, exactly what kind of specials are on today. Apparently they don't do the kind of "specials" they're used to when they're in Spain..
