Default Manchester United setting a good example?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...td/8148073.stm

So Fergie has refused to go shopping in an over inflated market. I think this shows alot of character and is a compliment to the EPL. I think If all teams start spending over the odds like madrid it could have ruined the transfer market for years to come. I just think for a huge team like united to say no to ridicilous fees (considering they had 100m in the bank) is a very respectable move.

They've blown any chances of winning anything
they need a world class striker which they lack badly
Need a centre midfield were they were beaten in the champions league

the simple truth they don't have the money
its paying off club debts

HAHAHAHHAHHAHHAHAA

''refused to go shopping''

He bid 40 million for Ribery, 25 million for Ibrahimovic and 50 million for Aguerro, only they all turned him down.

Can't forget buying Valencia for triple what he;'s worth. What a hypocritical bastard.

What, by replacing Ronaldo with Valencia (absolute rip off), and replacing Tevez with Michael Owen (injury prone and past it), he aint got a ****ing clue mate.

Bang on mate, he is pissed off with getting turned down by players so he has resorted to spending silly money on shite players and now he isn't spending more cash.

He has won cups season after season, but that is in the past. The Man United squad has been severely weakened after the departure of Ronaldo, and no proper replacement has been made.

Chelsea will win the Premier League this season, mark my words Andy.

Not saying that he isn't a great manager, but his transfers this summer have been absolutely laughable, as is his decision to sign no body else.

Only cup I can see them winning this year is the Carling Cup.

Chelsea for Premier League and Barcelona will win the Champions League again.

It'll be interesting, clearly a weaker team without Ronaldo and Tevez
