Happy Face 29 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 So Owen's going to Man U and staying here. We're not spending more than £20M, but have already put bids in totalling £25M. And Keegan needs to be like Wenger, who is a genius for bringing youth through the ranks and being so succesful, but is also a failure because he hasn't bought big names that would bring success. The Fleet Street massive really need to start singing from the same songsheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
