And United fans compare Rooney to Pele.

Did anyone else feel Rooney's wave to the crowd whilst getting subbed (and rightly booed) was sarcastic? If so IMO it's yet another reason why the to$$er should not play for England. Along with refusing to sing the national anthem, been dirty, and an extremely poor role model, he's a disgrace to the England shirt IMO.

United sign Bebe?

How many strikers is that now?

Rooney
Berbatov
Owen
Macheda
Wellbeck
Hernandez
Bebe
Diouf (out on loan, admittedly)
Possibly Obertan?

Taggart: ''For all the buying they have done, they still have to pick a team with balance. That won't be easy for Mark. What's he got, 10 strikers? So if he picks a squad to go to Chelsea he has to leave seven behind, or five at least.''

Obertan is a wide player so it's 8. Diouf and Wellbeck will be gong out on loan so that give us 6 and three of those are youngsters.

And yet we predominantly play 4-5-1 !

Would rather the 'undisclosed amount' had gone to luring Ozil now rather than taking a gamble on getting him on a free next season.

£7m?

Very odd, apparently he was available on a free in May.

I'm very surprised at the naivety of some United supporters. Why exactly have their club spent £7m on a player coming from complete obscurity? Who makes these decisions on how much a player should cost? I just read that he'd only just joined his club, and that United had signed him based on his pre-season form. With all due respect, he could turn out to be a good player, but £7m for a player with that CV, who was available on a free only months ago? Some are saying 'well people said the same when we spent a lot on Ronaldo', but Ronaldo was one of the world's hottest talents back then, whilst this fella seems a nobody, with his only background being homeless football and pre-season friendlies, from the sounds of things.
