| All Utd fans are, no doubt, frustrated. We were waiting for the signings to happen before the WC. Didn't happen. Then we were waiting on the Italian verdict. Still nothing happening.
But I do think we have limited funds to play with. The RVN to real saga is delaying things because Real are not meeting Utds asking price of 16m. Instead, they are offering 10-12m. It would normally not be a hinderance, but when a club is in debt like ours, every penny counts.
But we can't buy Torres until Ruud is gone. If we did, that would give Real even more power in determining the amount.
The fact that a lot of players seem to be waiting for an offer from Real is another issue. Mascherano, Diarra, Kaka, Cannavaro, Zambrotta, Viera(?).. Personally, I think that if they are waiting for that offer before looking at any other club, then they don't want/deserve to be at Utd.
I still think we should have flogged Ruud to Bayern and taken Hargreaves. |
