Try Welbeck on loan.

Looked at him but Utd want £1.5mil to take him for the season. I'm prepared to go to 500k but I ain't losing a 3rd of my budget on 1 loan player.

Is Yannis Tafer available to loan? I got him as a permanent signing in League 2, so he should be really for a Premier League club. He's as quick as Wellbeck and will score more even at that level. He can turn out to be better than most European strikers too because of his variable potential.

I'll take a look next time I'm on. Half turned it round now. Sat on 7 points through 9 games which isn't what I'd hoped for but I have played all the top 4 in those games. One of the 7 points was a very credible 0-0 draw with the Arsenal so i reckon I'll be able to climb away from the bottom 3 in time

6 games to go in my season. Top with a four point lead. Bricking it majorly, I watch most games end through my fingers.

Currently played 12 games with Tottenham and sitting in 5th position but well in touch with the 4 above me, United are about 5 points clear of me at the top, however i am only 2 points behind 2nd placed Chelsea so Champions League is not beyond me at this stage. Also, into the quarter final of the league cup against Arsenal. All my signings have been very good so far, very pleased with how things are going. I've also competed very well with the 'big 4' when ever i've played them.

I'm keeping my eye on the Mexico job with Javier Aguirre's job status at very insecure.

Rughead, what do you think of Rafinha? I've always found him to be really annoying to play with, simply because he is never 100% fit. Every game he tires really quickly and he never recovers well enough for the next game. He has decent physical attributes but he always seems to tire.

He's been excellent for me, always fit and has an average rating of 7.20 in 44 games. He also gets forward to support Valencia a lot and is threat down the right.
