Somewhere to put other teams moves, speculation, etc.

Sunderland were convinced they were going to sign this man, but today it's been announced:

Newcastle sign striker Papiss Cisse on five-&-a-half year deal from Freiburg for fee in region of £10 million.

5 and a half years is a long deal! Apparently Demba Ba has a very low release clause in his contract, so wouldn't be surprised to see a bigger club come in for him now.

This is probably the worst United team in over 2 decades. And it's not like they were anything special last season but they at least still had Fergie.

Van Persie is the only difference between them and an average side imo

I agree that there side doesn't look too impressive at the moment. I get what you're saying!

However I think that's a bit harsh to label them as and average side + Van Persie.

Rooney, Kagawa, Vidic, De Gea (are all anything but mediocre players)

All of whom can be a very useful addition to Milan if we had the chance.

Kagawa is barely even used, there was even talk of him going back to Dortmund on loan, as I said to kurt in regards to Rooney, there are a lot of factors whuch can influence how effective he'll be for United this season. Vidic is nowhere near the player he used to be and De Gea is mostly a decent keeper, nothing special imo
