We're not going to get anyone good are we...
I've got a really bad feeling about this summer. I just don't think we're going to be making any waves in the transfer market.

We'll probably just up our level somewhat so we're getting players slightly better than the ones we got last year, but the Brazilian kid isn't exactly filling me with boundless joy, and I hope we don't et the Frenchman who doesn't care how much we pay for him because it isn't his money.

Haven't we learned our lesson with French-speaking players by now?

This is going to suck.

I'm chilly as fuck about this. It will be a good summer.

The owners have said time and again they will back the manager, and I think they'll be true to their word.

Captain, wanna buy some magic beans? They're magic, honest!

Sorry, couldn't resist that. I'm leaning more towards Chris' side of the fence than yours, but I hope to be proved wrong.

Re: We're not going to get anyone good are we...
Why should the frenchman care how much he is transferred for?

I reckon we already have a big name or two secured in Spain or I don't think Rafa would be making quite such positive noises.

I'd be amazed if we don't pull off a couple of big signings. If there is one game the yanks do know how to play, it will be the PR game, and as such they will be desperate to impress the fans this closed season.

Even if we don't though (we will but anyway), I wouldn't write us off completely. Who would have thunk that the mancs would have done anything this season?

Re: We're not going to get anyone good are we...
No I too hope we don't get Le Forehead but come on man chin up !!!

Rafa said we need to go up 3 levels in one go and that i'm sure we'll do.

I know it's frustrating, i'm as patient as a hippo with some human intruders in my bath. But we will get man!

Re: We're not going to get anyone good are we...
I'm not liking the vibes too much either, if I'm honest. It's depressing the way the Mancs have just gone out and bought three players (whatever your opinion might be of their quality) without any fuss or drawn-out negotiating, whilst once again we're still stuck in the fucking starting blocks.

The way things are shaping, I suspect we're probably going to end up with Malouda, Bent and maybe, if we're lucky, Simao. And that just won't be good enough.

That just broke me.

I was trying to be strong until that came along.

Re: We're not going to get anyone good are we...
We'll get Tevez. Still don't think he's what we need first and foremost upfront. Would be a cracking signing in accompaniment with a goalscorer/line leader but I can't see us signing two strikers of significant value/ability.

2 wide players (hopefully once being Alves) are very much needed.

Re: We're not going to get anyone good are we...
Having important members of the staff on holiday doesn't help. Is it beyond the organisational abilities of the club to have the main people all on holiday at the same time, preferably when the deals have already been done?

Re: We're not going to get anyone good are we...
The thought of us fucking this summer up is so depressing that I try not to think about it. I try to remain positive no matter what. Maybe that makes me deluded, but I can't do anything to help the situation, so it's for the sake of my mental health really. If the summer has gone and we have failed, then I will really be depressed, but not already.

If it's true that they're valuing him at £30 million then we won't. And we won't get Eto'o either.

When we make the three biggest signings since schwarzenegger's book release. I will be telling you all that I told you so.

If the beans are expensive enough, I'll have two cans! Joking aside, I'm not saying I'm confident this summer's signings will turn out to be big hits. But Rafa will be able to spend big on a couple of players if he finds the right ones, that I'm sure of.

It's one hell of a difference shopping in the £25M department instead of £10M, and I think Rafa now can.
