What you getting Tom?

---

Reports this evening are saying that Scott Sinclair could be on his way to Manchester City.

Thank you Based Marwood.

I understand the Rodwell buy but this one remains a mystery to me. It feels a bit unnecessary and I don't see the upside to it. Hopefully this will not be the last signing.. I'd prefer we get at least 1 player who can legitimately challenge for 1st team.

So let me just get this right.

City sign ready made stars - "ruining football"
City sign young players with potential "ROFL WTF"

?

If they keep signing players where does that leave them in terms of the UEFA financial rules?

Shirt sponsorship deals in the Bundesliga 12/13:
1. Wolfsburg - unlimited
2. Bayern - €25m
3. Schalke €16m
4. Dortmund €10m
5. HSV €7.5m



Actually, that kind of suggests he could end up leaving. Obviously it could be a wrong rumor but a "Bayern insider" from Sport1 reported "Javi to Bayern for 33M next week" and pretty much all the other sites believe him. He has been wrong before, so lets wait and see.

What actually counts as a homegrown player, then I'll have a stab at naming them.
Click to expand...

To qualify as home grown, a player will have had to be registered for at least three seasons at an English or Welsh club between the ages of 16 and 21.

RVP for 30 million is robbery. I'll be surprised if he can repeat his last season form. Arsenal are conducting a bit of shrewd business indeed.

City and Juve in the same CL group confirmed. City to advance confirmed.

Cuddler said:
Thanks! I hope he doesn't go to Milan, I think he's good and he probably doesn't cost that much. I wouldn't mind if Juve bought him for less than 10m€.

No. No. Nononononono. NO.

As for Drenthe, we were linked with him a while back (literally like two reports before we signed Vidal) and everything I've heard about him is that he's a bit off the handle. Expect lots of red cards.

Well, he is Davids' nephew. He'd be a great agent for us at Torino!

I'll go with Marchisio. He was awesome for Italy aswell in the Euro's.

Can't go wrong with Principino. Best midfielder in the world.

Is TC actually DC's brother?

From what we've been told, yes. Tom (apparently) and Dan C. I'm guessing Tom was born in 91.

Realistically, Sinclair doesn't look like a future star and you need to be one to play for City. Beyond that, he just doesn't really fit into the squad make-up. If a more advanced winger like Johnson can't get THAT much play time, I don't see Sinclair doing the same. Who knows, we'll see. If he's cheap then I'm all for it but it feels a bit pointless really. I'd rather Suarez or some of the Academy guys get a shot in a scenario where Sinclair would play.

How's that Krasic kit working out for you?

Tc91 said:
Shirt ordered. Hopefully it arrives quicker than last time -_-.

Congrats! Il Principino is an amazing midfielder and with a wicked shot (the result of playing for years as a striker).

I think I might buy a pink Pepe kit if I can find a shop still selling them on the cheap....

Why is the season ticket argument so important to Uniteds detractors?

Its been a few years since United soldout their entire allocation of season tickets.
