If you want a famous player, we'll have to stump up bigger money. I assume that scouts will hear about players before they get the chance to impress you.

Not overly sold on him myself either but he seems positionally versatile, which would please OC.

We'd have to hope that the angry old knight has forgiven Coyle for taking them to a tribunal over the fee for Richard Eckersley. He's a stubborn old goat in a lot of ways, is Ferguson, but hopefully he'll realise the benefits of loaning near-finished gems.
I thought it was the other way round. Fergie taking Burnley to tribunal?

As an aside, Eckersley is now at Toronto FC on loan. Cracking move for a 22 year old is that!

Do they have anyone worth loaning, though?
Not really. Dalglish generally bloods any decent youth so I guess it'd depend on his summer shopping list. Jonjo Shelvey is a good player who may be worth a look at.
Looks like we're going to struggle bringing in a striker of Sturridge's class this time around. As has been mentioned before, Borini looked outstanding for Swansea since he joined them and I think he'll probably want a bigger challenge. He's a good shout.

On last nights evidence that whole Swansea team would suit the way OC wants to play, which ones would make the step up successfully is the key. That Borini looks great till it comes to a final ball or shot.

Oh and Sinclair did not impress me.

Did anybody particularly rate Sturridge? I thought he'd come, add a bit of much needed pace, and any goals he scored would be a bonus.

I'd be delighted with Welbeck here. I suppose it depends how settled he is up in Sunderland.

I thought that too. Here's hoping Cardiff do the bizniz against them in the final. Rich pickings there. Plenty of mobile players who don't mind having the ball.

I think at the last count they had over 7000 players on their books. So shirley one or two of them are worth a look at.
Mind, on the other hand Benitez signed most of them so maybe not.

Raheem Sterling!! Now I know we hate YouTube, but this lad is awesome. He was taken with the squad in one of the european games this season but didn't make the bench. They signed him from QPR;

His fee was decided by tribunal because Coyle wouldn't pay what Ferg wanted.

I thought they poached him as he was at the end of his contract, but because of his age, United were entitled to compo. Hence the tribunal

Er, yeah - transfer tribunal as fiscal arbitration, not industrial tribunal as indicative of wrongness...

Yes, but err, just because i couldn't really afford anyone else on my fantasy football league :oops:

Dennis Oliech, his wikipedia page suggests he's never really played anywhere decent or scored many goals, infact it suggests he's a winger, but I bought him on Football Manager 11 and he has been a 20 goal a season man for me, plus he's dead fast and that, I can't see how this could go wrong.

One I'd like to see next season, in the late autumn of a brilliant career, but when I've seen him in the sampions league this season he's been fantastic. Always working hard to score, puts in a shift for team, never gives up; and a natural finisher. Anyone else who'd like to see Raul in a Trotters shirt?

If we're relying on football manager teams formit's time to pack in.
By the way SKD scored 27 for me.
