I think that any more quotes from the GIC and Vela leaving.....well that's the floodgates well and truly opened

And Wenger says we have a big squad! Yeah because you keep signing 'potential' and not players who can walk into the first team, fucktard!
All because if one happens to become a great player it extends the Wenger 'myth' of finding unpolished diamonds. What a joke.

Campbell has today been denied a work permit. Couple of years out on loan for him now probably...

And when he comes back he won't be like a new signing

According to some he will be a new signing

why the fucking, are we still buying under known quanties - who may or not may be any fucking good in 5 to 7 years

look at Chamberlain, come through the same system as Theo at Southampton and i can see him being a Theo sort one week look great and then be shit for the next 4 or 5 weeks

piss off being fed bullshit about young squad and they will be great one day

Exactly

Mancini said today he was interested in Nasri 5 years ago. He was then asked if he thought he was better now than he was then - He said of course he is, he has gained valuable experience.

It reaks of us being a feeder club for anyone with more ambition than us

Indeed. When was the last time you heard of Utd making a signing who needed to go out on loan for a few years before being granted a work permit?

What really were we expecting here???

He cost 900K, just a few caps for Costa Rica, I can't imagine, even now with Wenger's utter shitness, that the club were relying on him getting a work permit and thereby a place within the squad for the coming season.... so... Hmm...

If he gets an Irish passport he'll be ok

Which is fine because at a cheap price he is worth signing now and sending on loan.

What we need now though are experienced ready-to-play-right-now signings or else we will be out of the top four.

Agree about Vela, should just take the money for him now.

Wellington very talented but fame has gone to his head, will see if he matures on loan.

Was same story at first with Botelho, but he has now knuckled down and been very good on loan. Soon as his work permit comes through he looks to have the attributes needed to be a decent left sided midfielder for us.
