Gordon Taylor mentioned that he'd like to see 3 English players in every 1st team which sparked a little debate elsewhere as it may fall inline with the thought that the old guard might by picking up the best English talent prior to changing the rules to suit themselves.
Well ok, if there aren't new rules coming into effect then I'm way off in my initial assessment. I think it could turn out well for United with this signing anyway, but it's a hefty price they've paid. Or rather, it would be hefty for us but somehow I've got a feeling it won't cause as much potential bother as it would for us.
I had a rag telling me how this would be an amazing signing and this would seem cheap when he is world class in 10 years. His face was priceless when I said, what happens if you dont get champs league footy and he winds down his contract and goes for nothing in 4 years at 22 yrs old?
He never thought of that, he had no come back.
