oh we're close to sign someone? that's cute when we was CLOSE to sign million of players but nothing happend in the end. And if you're that BIG fan you should know that we got Wilshere since he was 9 years old. Every club needs young prospects? I agree but just a bit. There's still very low percentage of the players from our youth academy which play on the highest level, most of them are released.

I'm sure most of you have heard the rumors circulating about Thiago and Man U...

It seems someone on the Spanish U21 squad wrote "Nos vemos en Manchester" (We'll see eachother in Manchester) on Thiago's match ball, which he received for netting a hat trick in the final. The obvious guess is that David De Gea wrote it.

If Thiago goes to Man U, I'll be forced to actually root for them =X

Just realized I should have posted this on transfer rumors #22, sorry for that.
