Johan Cruyff: "Chelsea winning the CL-final is a defeat for proper football. I'd rather not win it, then to have to play this way."

Try telling that to the Barca players sitting at home watching the final.

Would you rather be there winning it or sat at home watching it on the telly and thinking to yourself 'Well at least we play nice football'?

I know I would rather be there winning it

We've not played bad football over the years and to see my team, which seemed to have lost there way slightly this season, to come back and win the FA cup and Champions league is something miraculous!

Man United don't always play attractive football but they get the job done. They've been no where near their best this season but finished 2nd by grinding out results!

I need to make a decision and take the plunge on my star player. Or I could go the way of TwisT and use my money for domestics and TP's. That is something I ain't thought about

I think if someone outbids you though, you should be given the chance to respond and outbid though OK

But then it's just going to be whoever has the most cash wins. It will be like the original draft where if you were outbid you can go in for another player in the next round (I assume)

Grant Holt's agent has been on Radio Norfolk this morning and said that him, Holt and McNally are meeting at 4pm to 'resolve' issues!

He also said that Holt didn't want to leave, but also wasn't about money. What is it about then? Weird situation

Yeah but if I'm willing to pay, say 50m to get player X, and originally bid 25m, and get beaten by a 26m then that's wrong IMO OK

Then you should have bid more in the first place then.

It's basically the same as the Scottish method of buying houses, sealed bids.

0 - Manchester United didn't lose after taking the lead in any PL game this season, but didn't win after going behind either. Decided.

Scoring first does matter

Even when I play 5 a side I always try to play Football the right way, my first aim is to entertain the fans before winning. Maybe I'm from the old school of FOotball.

And the fact he isn't playing at the Euros so once the furore of him signing has died down he won't actually be seen playing for the majority of our second season.

If you were playing a match what tune would get you pumped up most?

For me it is between two. 'On the Ball City' obviously that would get me fired up. But I think standing there and having the Champions League anthem booming around the stadium would get me in the zone. It gives me chills everytime I listen to it Cool

Twist because someone says we mark a player out of the game don't mean it'll happen and it will much harder to get mark Hazard.

Mighty do what you think mate, remember the other day we had people here saying Drogba is finished when you asked it's probably so you sold him to them.

Well, it's lucky Hazard's not going to be putting in a transfer request on the league then. And Drogba just put in a star performance in the CL. If he goes to China, that doesn't automatically make him a bad player and people would do well to remember that.

Laugh Yes im going for Valencia. I just wanted to bump Hazards price up lolol.
Nani, is too pricey.

IMO, Hazard now strikes me as nothing but a mercenary and I don't want him anywhere near Man Utd.
BOOM I pretty much said this last week. Hazard seems like an Ashivan, use a prem club to engineer a move to Real or Barca. I dont want him at Man United. He seems like a full on douchebag.

I want Kagawa at Man United.

Put yourself in Hazard's shoes.

At least three clubs courting you of which you have no allegience or preference as all 3 can potentially win major trophies.
Nail your banner to the mast of one and the other two don't bother.
Or be a pr**ktease and court all three pumping up the contract that they all offer.

He know's he's in control and is making the most of it, in the real world we would all do the same.
