You are never happy you miserable fuck

Sign any 1 of Martinez, schweinstiger, bender, Vidal or pogba and I will be ecstatic
I keep coming back to the lack of aggressiveness in our transfer business - we buy players that the big clubs are trying to sell or we buy from the smaller clubs like Southampton, but haven't got the balls to wave a big wedge of money to a big club to try and entice them to sell a player that they didn't intend to sell

I absolutely believe that bayern would sell one of the 2 players I listed and juve will sell one of their midfielders IF we step up like the big club we are and make a real push to get them. Leverkusen might well be in champs league but they are an average size club who wouldn't turn down big money if it were put on the table for bender. We are in a position of real strength right now but yet we are supposed to be happy if we sign schnederlein ? The DM position is the one spot we should be willing to throw big money at and Martinez at £35m would be a better buy than schnederlein at £18m and that is a quality based decision and not a khedira is a big name type of decision
1989 I would suggest to you that the reason we haven't sold our top players again this summer, is because outside of our club they ain't viewed as top quality (except ozil whose form last season was very average). When we had Cesc and rvp there were top clubs lining up to sign them but that ship has sailed and holding onto our players now isn't as hard as it used to be so isn't the real coup you make it out to be
Finally, on the subject of my being tagged as a miserable b*stard, can I just say that it may be true but I was one of the few on here in the last few days that hasn't complained about the debouchy signing - I cannot believe how many complained about him being too old (in the 28/29 year old bracket) when for the last few years people have complained about buying too young

Make your mind up people......you either want le cock to sign (and base our ambitions) on more young unproven players, or you want him to buy more experienced players to blend in with the younger players
