    Buys of the Pre-Season

    I think Manure Utd have got the best buy so far, Hargreaves will make a huge difference to their team, give Paul Scholes a bit more space (and more of a rest), they needed a good midfielder

    Also like Muntari, a handy player who had a great world cup, looking forward to seeing him with Portsmouth

    And Wigan seem to have bought at least 3/4 good players that could save them from relegation

    waste of money...................Torres for that money

    Who do ye guys think are the good buys so far?

    Barcelona by a mile , Henry Abidal and Toure not bad at all
    and whoever gets Pato will be on to a winner ,
    the players Wigan have bought have been muck without exception , its like they want to be relegated!
    Villareal have made some good signings
    its all been fairly quiet though really so far

    Muntari's a good player but he's way to aggresive. By Christmas last season, he'd been sent off three times for Udinese, once I remember he'd just come back from suspension. It was just before half-time and he gave away a stupid free and got a yellow card. A few minutes later he lunged in two-footed on some lad and got a straight red. If that side of his game can be eliminated, he'll do well.

    Best buy......well as a L'OM supporter I think Gael Givet is a great one. With my Chelsea cap on I think Pizarro and Sidwell will be good.

    Others: Well Bayern keep stacking em up. Klose, Toni and Ribery. That will be some side.

    Not for the prices they paid for them.

    Bayern and Barcelona have made the best signings. United have made the best signings in terms of potential.

    remember when Duff was the so called steal of the season last year?!

    I think Neil Lennon on a free transfer is value for money for Notts Forest!!!

    They're worth that price though, unlike Spurs' signings.

    Bent is definitely not worth 16.5m or whatever they paid for him. 6/7 million would be a risk IMO but he has a British passport so his value at least doubles.

    Thought Bale was £10m, Bent is worth £10m at the very, very most.

    Nani is class. He will be as good as Ronaldo.

    I reckon Robert Earnshaw could be the best bargain if he gets enough service.

    Owen Hargreaves is the signing of the summer IMO.

    Fernando Torres is going to be the flop of the summer. 15-18 million maybe, 26+? your having a laugh.

    A good player, but doesn't score the half the goals he should.

    He is the missing link United needed in the midfield, that is why.

    And tell me this, why is it blinkered? Because I am a United fan and I think Hargreaves is an expectional signing. How dare I show support towards him and my football club

    I didn't realise the requirement of this thread was not to have an opinion if your a man utd supporter if you thinke a man utd signing could be the best signing

    I give credit where credits due all round when it comes to English football. I could be accused of being blinkered with Linfield, because that's my number 1 passion. Which is likely to be the case with all supporters and their own team. But with Man Utd, although I would obviously see the Man Utd viewpoint more, I'm not as worried if things don't go our way.
