Incredible.  Where Real finds this money I will never know.

I love the deal.  £80M!  I was ready to make the deal at Christmas.

Rooney is free to run the team now (as we see him doing with England), Ribery should be coming in to be the play maker, and Berbatov has a year under his belt now to understand how to play at United.

What does this mean for Tevez?

me too….$80 million gets you two, possibly three players…..I'll miss his football but not his theatrics, and it was clear he was mailing it in this season

With the exception of JS Veron, we only like to make good investments on the Upper West Side.

Why buy the sum of the whole when you can wait long enough and buy the few parts that actually make money at a bargain price?

I learned this at young age when watching Pretty Woman….
