Until now, United have been very patient, but I have a feeling they are ready to go down the road of insurance. Not sure how that works, ie, who receives any pay out: is the club, the player or both?James Ryddel - Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18341271207454849421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33581513.post-36211703485037268902010-04-11T09:16:27.201+01:002010-04-11T09:16:27.201+01:00Soccer Pundit,

He did not make the bench for either the Bolton or Chelsea game. He has not traveled to Blackburn. <br /><br />That finally has convinced me, the optimist, that it is over.619https://www.blogger.com/profile/15176461588548554118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33581513.post-87956079798243516952010-04-10T11:57:44.388+01:002010-04-10T11:57:44.388+01:00Emo,

I cannot help feel Fergie really missed the boat when not even attempting to sign Sneijder. Having watched Sneijder recently I have to say he'd be the perfect replacement for Scholes. Not sure about Van der Vaart to be honest.<br /><br />IMO, Fergie needs at least three top quality signings this summer.

But to his credit, the kid did admirably well against one of the premier wingers in the world and dispossessed him several times in the first half. Ribery was clearly frustrated on a number of occasions. Rafael also contributed offensively a lot by crossing well and almost scoring once Emilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977295412018799768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33581513.post-58751511847746758202010-04-09T08:31:53.071+01:002010-04-09T08:31:53.071+01:00Correct, Rafael was outstandig in both containing ...Correct, Rafael was outstandig in both containing Ribery and going forward.

I'm actually slightly concerned because there's no guarantees when you sign unproven youngsters from overseas - particularly when they are latinos - because as we found with Ronaldo, they all want to play in the hotter climates.

Living in Texas I see a lot of this kid on Mexican tv. He is really good and he's not old like Villa. Everyone seems to forget that Villa only has one or two years left in his legs. No way Fergie spends 50 Mil on old legs.<br /><br />Now the question is the midfield.
