  1. Well you raise a number of new issues there. Who says we don't have an ambition to be a 'bigger' club than we currently are, certainly not Webber. He may have differing views from you in respect of a number of factors such as time frame, the risk he's willing to take to achieve this etc, but I don't think his ambition is to make the club 'smaller'. It's hard being a fan because your dreams for the club are just that dreams, whereas the club has to deal with reality. If we don't then we gamble the longer term survival of the club on a turn of the cards, and the odds are very much against us. Much better in my view to still be a yoyo club in 10 years time than have no club at all.
  2. Can't understand why we were allegedly in for him in the first place, not a great addition player and a poor attitude.
  3. Well that's a different issue. Rightly or wrongly our current model is to buy players, mostly young players who we can buy relatively cheaply and sell of at a good profit, having developed them. In order to get the best money when moving them on we need to have them on long contracts. If we get a reputation amongst developing players that we sign them on long contracts and then hinder their development by not selling them, when there ability / ambition outgrows the clubs, then we will not attract those players in the first place. It could be that the agreement, assuming there was one, was a condition of him signing the 4 year deal in the first place.
  4. Surely if you accept we have an agreement to let him go and he always was going to go this window. Then you want to encourage as many bids as possible to drive up the price.
  5. Solskjaer missed a trick not bring Henderson on.
  6. I accept the clubs strategy in relation to selling players, when the time and the price is right. For me the most important thing is that we sell at the start of the window, with the exception of Buendia where it might be worth it to drag out negotiations to see how things develop with his Argentina experience. I don't doubt SW has contingency plans in place whatever happens.
