nice move. if he is half as good as you say they can sell him next year for 18+ €. Not bad...

Nice find Tony, but im sure Man United paid more than that for Barthez.

When does Barca's asian tour finish?

anyone else think that the result tonight could might make the management reconsider signing more players? we do definately need another striker...

I think the same actually.
Another weak display in our attacking department, overall it wasn't bad and we also have to consider that the players haven't reached their full potential yet AND that Gila has just recoverd from an injury but still..

A new striker and fullback is a must!
Doesn't have to be expensive.

I don't remember how much United paid. I just copied this list from another place.
But if you type "Barthez joined United" in google you'll get many links and everywhere you'll see the same number - £7.8m.

It's not important. What's important is that the spending power of EPL teams grows bigger and bigger and i must repeat again that i'm worried. They are making the others hard to follow.
Sunderland, team that just got promoted, spends more money on goalkeeper than a CL participant, Lazio, will spend during the entire summer mercato.
This sucks !

R Betis Milan 1-0!!!!! We got shut out!!!!! Hopefully a couple more of these offensive failures and Galliani et al will wake up and get someone!

Oh well at least no one will knock off Juve from the number one spot, Im not sure but some one told me that there is more money pumped into the PL than any other league in Europe including Spain and Italy. You do have a point about Sunderland and Lazio and I personally think there should be limits in all countries, many rules need to be changed for example the bottom 3 teams that get relegated from the premiership get bucket loads of more money compared to the teams that get promoted from the fizzy pop league (its really stupid because with the amount of money the relegated teams have they can build a very strong squad to get back to the premiership). Another thing someone told me you get the same amount of money in remaining in the premiership than you get for actually winning the CL, this I dont know if it is true so im hoping someone could enlighten me but if it is true then its a joke.

I CANT BELIEVE REAL BETIS BEAT US! VERYYYYYYYY PPOOR DISPLAY IN ATTACK. if milan don't sign r10 now i dont know what i'll do, with our attacks current form at the MINIMUM i expect someone like etoo no ifs and or buts, theres nothing else that can fix our attacking problems, we need our promised super star attacker! Not saying ducky boy isnt but hes a long time project

I'm outraged by this, I'm sorry but I don't want the same thing to happen as last year! Excuse me if any spamming in this post, but we have no good LB's! Janku out of form, Serginho aging, we definitely need a LB and quick. Kaladze was good 2 years but now you can forget about it, and for goalkeepers,dida is alright but he still makes some lazy slip ups and we dont need a lazy goalkeeper, we'd better whip him back to form or just replace him all together, and we need an attacker(R10!) I let these other few games where our attack was just i guess you could say SLEEPING apart from super ronaldo but the rest of our attack are running zombies, of course not including kaka, didnt think i had to mention him though, we definitely need ronaldinho or these problems will just go on through out this season and byebye scudetto

Chill out buddy - its not end of the world as its not even the 31st of August

Is Rosicky comeing?

kkkk i kno its pre season...but please please please i hope we dont do the same thing we did last season which is not to score against not ne more than average teams....dat was our biggest problems so y cant the managment see dat and try to add a new striker ...and not just mention a few names and never really make an attempt for them....i still bieleve we r a strong teams capable of beating anybody but we need more depth in our squad if we r to survive the whole year .....sometimes players get injured and or need a rest and we need players that are strong to be ready

Last season we don't have ronaldo and gilardino spend a lot of time injuried in the first half of the season. I don't think it will be the same this year.

Obviously we played a skeleton crew on attack with no Pippo, Gila or R99, so you can't assume it will be bad all season. I'm with you though that we do need to sign a striker of some sort. Maybe not a 1st teamer but someone that can be a solid backup. And we definitely need a world class LB - biggest need on the starting XI no doubt.
