I have to disagree maverick, I think he is exactly the calibre of striker we're needing, and guaging from the opinion in this thread it would get people back into pittodrie. Can't see it, but hell, id be pleased if it happened.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13933241.stm De Gea confirmed as a Man United player.

When I started reading that list, I was quite impressed. Then you ended it with a wimper

Welcome aboard, hopefully his injury problems are truly behind him and we've got ourselves a player.

That is if Aluko stays or goes.

The scheme again, full of jakeys a.k.a huns/tims. Cunts.

Haha too true, but I knew this one particular signing would pull at a few heart strings On topic though, can't say I'm overly pleased about this at all. I don't buy this, at least we know what we're getting argument though. He wasn't good enough the first time and isn't good enough the second time. Unless he cripples a few more huns

When tc told me about this happening, I immediately thought of you and your reaction to this

According to BBC gossip yesterday, we're waiting on clearance.

Thats the point I was getting at. Genuinely think it's not a bad idea, especially since he's probably not going to have a long and prosperous career.

Song asside, that really something we should be aspiring to or using as a benchmark?

Can't say I was bothered by this news, but good on the guy for making sure he's got a career after football.

Guess he proved his fitness then. Certainly sounded like a decent player, providing he's not the next Jamie Smith.

Through now

Some ugly fuckers in that crowd!

Whatever happened to the signings being announced yesterday then?!?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13902298.stm Whilst it would be nice to be given the opportunity to voice our opinions, I'm not sure if I would be impressed as the manager should be doing his job properly and know his targets?

Decent match last night. The Croat was pretty tough to break down.

From looking at those photos, Mawene is a beast!

I don't know why, but i'm finding this quite exciting!

hmm, well i hope this doesn't come to bite us in the arse! Yesterday was their first day back at pre-season was it not?

Confirmed on BBC now. Whilst I agree bobby, I think he'll thrive in the environment at OT. Hopefully anyway. I didn't see a winger as a priority tbh, thought there were more critical positions that needed addressing.

If thats true, then I certainly agree with you on this one. It is a potentially a win win situation for the club imo. If they price themselves out of a move, then we keep Fyvie (a good thing). They let bidding commence then who knows what we'll end up. The fact is, teams are aware of this lad so they don't need to go biting the hand off the first potential suitor. Stay strong AFC. Please. Obviously this is where my plan falls flat on its face...
