Eds, Syds, Dillon's, etc etc

Do you people think that Manchester uniteds fc will spend more money on transfers this term than Chelsea fc and Manchester city fc and Tottenham hots fc and Liverpool fc? I think that if we do not then I do not think that we will win the competition this year, do not think the same too, all of my friends and family think it too. Whoever it shall be who spends the most on brand new transfers will win it, I maybe think it could be either one of Manchester city or Chelsea or even arsenal or even hotspurs this year, I really hope I'm wrong I really really do hope, but we never seem to spend much millions of pounds compared to them other ones, we have been lucky in winning the past couple of times, and all that is because of Alex ferguson, and now, he has retired from it, we will not be able to rely on him anymore, and now, I'm really really worried for us, all other teams have a lot of money to spend big on really really good players, and more than us do, and now it all depends on that, do all you other people on here think the same, I do. Please let me know everyone else's opinions on this matter if you please will, thank you.

Mick Dean {Ed004's Note - Not about the quantity its about the quality. Would you rather 30+ million on fernandinho or under 20 million on Kagawa, Lewandowski etc}

Thanks ed 004, I think that bayern Munich will want to sign lewandowski this year, and kagawa never seems to play as much anymore, do u think he will next season under D. moyes? Imagine him and Strootman inter-linking play, exchanging passes through the centre midfield area

Mick Dean {Ed004's Note - He will play more}

Ed best reply of the week , it's not about money it's about quality.
there might of been a couple who though Rvp was to old or maybe Injury prone but I think everyone would agree he was a top player, and he has shown that.
We have a good squad but we need to raise the quality of the first 11 imo.
2 players who we might argue where they will play or if we need them but all agree they are top quality would be a good summer for me

I hope for your sake that English isn't your first language mick.

As the ed said its absolutely nothing to do with how much you spend but about who you spend it on. Nobody on this site mentioned fernandinho as a potential signing but now he's suddenly a top player because city spent 30 million on him, give me a break.

Your post sounds like you think we will finish 5th next season because other teams will spend more. Do you really think 'tots' have much chance of running the league than united? I bet your family life is a real optimistic place if your whole family agrees with this post.

Well all I feel from your post is that you are not a united supporter

Ed, your right about the need to select the right players to buy, but sometimes it is all about flashing the cash to get a player. the upcoming transfer of cavanni will be a case in point. great player who would improve any team, but with Madrid, city and Chelsea supposedly wanting him, there's going to be some serious money spent.

I'd be pretty shocked if Manchester United didn't want him in their squad but they're not prepared to spend as much money as the other teams I mentioned in order to buy him. cavanni might not be the only player Manchester United would like to sign like but won't be prepared to spend enough, whereas other clubs will.

so in a way is down to how much money the clubs spend, as long as they spend it on the right players.

I'd rather have a +20 million transfer on someone with the quality and worth it like Mata or Modric.

£35m for Andy Carroll or £24m for Robin Van Persie?

Dortmund have proved that shrewd investment and developing your own can bring success.
Madrid spent millions and are they any closer to Barca or Bayern the clubs in turmoil Chealsea and City similar full of players who aren't really in love with the club but find the PROJEcT interesting!!

I think mick is right what he is saying, I mean I wouldn't care if we paid 60 million for lewandoski, and 40 million for strotman, as long as we get them! its not like the money is coming out ov my pocket is it?

G Duggan,

I kind of understand the sentiment behind that post but think about what you just said. It's ludicrous.
