This is smoke. I don't see this happening.

Why spend 16 million for Matri, when you could get Berbatov who does the same thing for about less than half. And that would cover the wage difference too.

Problem with Berbatov is he is so lazy. It's fine in a good team, but when you're a B level club (which we are now) you need someone who is going to work harder for the team and Matri fits that better than Berba.

Just an idea: why didn't we go after Adebayor? I'm pretty sure City would have given him on loan to us.

But he did do well at Leverkusen, which was a B level club.



No idea. Maybe we are? Of the mentioned names, Ade seems a rather easy solution.

I'd love that.

Adebayor, Berbatov... some nice strikers out there that would offer a lot here.

One of them, and we don't rely too much on Pato.

Ade, Berba. An absolute must! After all we just cleared out our old age home, let's go ahead and refill it again with same of old then next year we'll do it again!!!

Why don't we think along the lines of Paloschi, Verdi, (Merkel). As was said before we are now a B level club and those would fit in perfectly and have a future potential.

I wouldn't take him if they offered him to us on a silver platter.

A mediocre player and not even worth half that

Adebayor is old? LOL.

Problem is his high wages though no?..

And the fact that he's non-EU?

If there is one Italian I'd want, that would be G. Rossi, anyone else would be a let down and a slap in the face to the fans.

Plus with the prices being quoted for the likes of Matri, we would get Rossi for 10m most likely. At least it would be a gamble on someone very talented rather than someone who'd score 10 goals a season

Yes, and considering Juve is out of the market for players (.. and in the market for coachs ..) we have a good chance of landing him if he wants to come back to Italy. Unless, Allegri has other ideas though ..

He is not old but equally useless. We are talking about a striker who fell down picking order @ ManCity so low that he had to be loaned out. And the only reason why he had good season at Spurs was because they had no one better and he had three top midfielders to help him.I don't think we can offer himthis luxury.

Here is an alternative, we let ManCity keep Adebayor and we loan Dzeko instead.

Because ManCity are run by monkeys. And besides, we can't sign any non-EU players now that we've got Zapata.

My good friend is a mega-manchester supporter and he thinks Berbatov would be an excellent pick up for us...he gets very frustrated that Berbatov isn't used at United more often.
