After Fergie saying there is no value in the transfer market and then spending 10m on some guy hes only seen on youtube, Barcelona go and sign one of the best up and comming talents in the game for 3m!!! Id like to think we were at least interested!

Is he 'The Biggest Talent from Norway since Iversen'?

No. Lindegaard is the Danish keeper. We're also heavily linked with De Gea from Atletico.

Ha. You shown me! Sorry about that, I was reading about you signing an apparent Norwegian youth who was the dog's nuts.

I think you should get Diego Lopez from Villarreal, although I haven't watched him as much this year, but I used to think he was class (should still be unless he's had a horror season).

I know that he lost his place at Odense to Roy Carroll & that in itself is more than enough to concern me about the guy.

That is concerning. I liked that russian keeper Akineev (spelt wrong).

Micah Richards "people try twice as hard against us like they do against United".

One paper today says De Gea for £15m another says Lindegaard in Jan for £3.5m.

The other day it was Akinfeev and Neuer.

We were sh[ii[/it in 1990, and considering the calibre of the whole competition made 2010 seem entertaining then that's some statement. I am not sure if you are old enough to remember it. The only good performance came in the Semi-Final.

Your beef on jingoism is actually based on your United tendencies, let's be honest. Jingoism in England is no different than the jingoism that affects most major countries at such times. 1996 awoke a nation that was actually pretty apathetic in comparison to the rest of the world when it came to supporting their team in major tournaments.

I was going from a reference point to which I can recall, if not remember exactly. So, yes, that's a fair comment.



Actually, it isn't. My beef with Ingerlund and it's jingoistic fans pre dates me being aware of the culture at United.

He's probably got a point to be fair.

Stupid thing is, they only need to try 1/4 as hard against city to get a result.

Spanish papers saying United well into talks for De Gea. Price of €20M mentioned, but they can't agree on whether he'll move in January or the summer.
