Good luck to the lad but I don't know how much he'll play there
I'm not too sure about that. Any other top six side then I'd agree his chances might be limited but MU are a club in crisis and it needs an overhaul.Quote:

Another James - Rodriguez looks like he is leaving Bayern, can see him going to someone like man u or Spurs if they lose Eikson
Napoli, apparently. Ancelotti is manager, and he played his best football under him at Real.Quote:

Could see him being a makeweight in a pogba to Madrid deal.Quote:

Hull only get 5% of a sell on - that's mighty good business by the jacks - will depend on where the money goes however...
I'm going to go out on a limb and say... not on new players :hehe:Quote:

I still have doubts over Ole but hopefully it really works out.
