Is Alex exercising his doulble standards yet again?

Answer 1

Wish I was the groundsman there, I'd wait for Everton to come to OT and lay down land mines all over the shop. Hahahaha. Interesting story..... giving the dad a job too ?

Answer 2

yh. i jus phned him n he said thnx. he will whn he gets the chance.

no alex isn't............

Answer 3

Have you not read that story - Roma would not offer the lad a decent contract so United stepped in. He'd have stayed where he was had Roma - the boy's prefered home-town club offered him a long term contract, which they did not.

This is no different than any other transfer, exactly the way Arsene Wenger has built his youth team in recent years and not dissimilar to the way that Spurs persuaded Gazza to sign for them rather than United when they bought his parents a house as an incentive.

Answer 4

I know him.  He's being loaned out to Wigan.

Answer 5

DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT the lad to be honest but its what you come to expect as a UNITED fan.

Answer 6

This was from a month ago...The player wasn't under a contract, since Roma couldn't offer him one, United came in, offered him thrice what he was getting at Roma, offered his dad a job and he agreed, i wish i could find the hypocrisy there. Sour grapes at losing a potential talent from the Roma guy.

I think what timutd meant was that, thats why its easy for Wenger and other clubs to get youngsters cus they can't be offered a pro- contract until they're 18, so thats probably how Wenger, Fergie get their youngsters cus i also remember someone else fuming about how Arsenal took some young Italian(i think) player off his hands around the same time United got Rossi.

Answer 7

haha! will do terry!

i wouldn't doubt it if he is!
