RE: 1. I thought Elstone's comments at the forum the other night were fairly transparent, but as you said, they don't get into specifics on the take propositions...and for good reason. If they've had so many deals fall through in the past, why tell everyone to get they hopes up only for it to be another false dawn?
That comment from Rooney is interesting. Never heard that, but if it's true I could well be why we have so many injuries!
My 5 things are simple, but very demanding!
1. Wins at Old Trafford, the Emriates, Stamford Bridge and Anfield
2. The Carling Cup
3. The FA Cup
4. The Premier League Cup
5. None of our good players leaving.
Seriously though, I just want some damned consistancy from a squad we know can perform well.
A good start to the season would be crucial as is keeping our big players at the club.
No more players hanging around that don't want to be there(read; Pienaar, Lescott) if they want out then get rid of them ASAP!
