Like bringing in Balotelli? Or doesn't he do transfers? Can't have it both ways.
We aren't. (IMG:

Don't quite think Allegri wants an icon like Beckham in the locker room - not when we already said goodbye to so many last season.
This was reported here and all over Twitter and football forums, and well needless to say I'd have loved Becks to have played for us another season or two. Absolutely loved it.
