i don't really understand where you're coming from with that fran? :/ </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Sorry for the late reply icon_smile.gif

My point was that you are spending nearly £25m a season. Maybe a bit less, but in general close to that.

Last season you had Evra - 5.5m

Park - 4m

Foster - 1m

VDS - 2m?

Vidic - 7m?

That's about 20, nearly 25 icon_wink.gif

(L) </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

that's £19.5m, and before you take away the money recieved for the likes of Neville, Kleberson and so on. VDS and Park were also budgeted for by the old PLC regime.

and ofc you don't need me to point out that so far in the second year of the glazer stewardship, we're operating at a net transfer profit.

There is nothing that has said that it was £25m net or £25m total out in a season/year. But hey I don't expect you to acknowledge that statement with nothing more than a 'and?' or in James' case a rather witty remark.

Must have missed that bit, but the Times article at the time never clarified if it was net or per year/season.

Plus that article about Smith above also says that there is no limit. So you don't know who to believe (on either side)

Plus that 'quote' is only attributed to a document, and with there being two documents that the article refers to, we do not know whether it was in both documents? or in one? and if it was in one, is it in the one that was undertaken? as two separate documents regarding the refinancing could mean that they had two approaches and only one was adopted.

I wouldn't mind us not spending the £25 million a year if our squad was actually okay at the moment. however we still have a massive Keane shaped hole in the centre of our side & it's obvious the midfield needs investment.

I don't care how much we spend in a year or how little as long as the team actually looks complete.

look, pj, i'll spell things out and then give you a chance to admit you were wrong and bow out gracefully:

- whether the article is referring to two documents or not, i don't care. simple fact - it says near the end “£25 million of annual net player spend is sufficient to support forecast growth over the next five yearsâ€. i couldn't care less if it was true, i was simply responding to someone who was assuming it was and basing their argument on it. you attempted to pick holes in that as you seem to do whenever matters concerning the glazers are discussed these days, and made yourself look a bit silly.

How long will the papers keep printing this £25 million per year garbage despite it clearly being false? It ****es me off almost as much as the periodic statements by Ferguson and Gill defending the Glazers or mentioning how things work so much better now that the club is not a PLC. There is no good way to spin £600+ million of debt.

Anyway tomorrows game:

First of many games againt Villa in coming weeks, and first of 5 games in a fortnight. With that in mind could see a few changes for tomorrow. Maybe Fletcher in the side for Giggs or Ronaldo, with Rooney on one of the flanks. With more changes on Tuesday I expect.

Well being able to beat the wall AND hit the target makes him better than a certain set piece taker we currently have.

Bardsley to Sunderland? interesting. Keano won't stand for any big-time charlie attitudes, could be (and probably is) make or break for him.

and yeah, saw Morientes in town. the geriatric striker recruitment continues apace

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> BLACK CATS SWITCH FOR BARDSLEY

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed young full-back Phil Bardsley will join Sunderland on loan next month.

Black Cats boss Roy Keane had been reported as doing a deal with his former club to secure the services of teenage Northern Ireland international Johnny Evans on a short-term basis.

However, while Ferguson has claimed that he has still to decide whether to release Evans, the Red Devils chief did confirm Bardsley would be heading up to the Stadium of Light in January.

"Roy has been in touch with regard to Johnny Evans and Phil Bardsley," the Scot told MUTV.

"In the case of Phil, the deal has been agreed but with Johnny we are holding back a little bit so we can decide what the best thing for him is.

"We could decide to keep him here but if he does go on loan, Sunderland would present the right type of challenge for him."

Bardsley, who has made 17 first-team appearances for United, was originally loaned to Rangers at the start of the season.

Despite impressing during his first few weeks with the Ibrox outfit, the 21-year-old eventually had a massive fall-out with coach Paul Le Guen and was one of seven loan players due to be recalled by Ferguson next month.
