Quoted:
On the 2nd January, a 'sports lawyer' working in Manchester claimed that we'd be making two superstar signings fairly imminently for around £12M (these claims appeared on a popular United forum) and that he was working on the endorsement/image rights side of the contracts, having previously worked on Ballack's and Shevchenko's transfer to Chelsea.
Since then, he provided 'updates' from time to time regarding their identity, eventually naming them today; Barcelona's Xavier Hernandez (Xavi to most), and Bordeaux's Rio Antonio Mavuba.
Oddly enough, the story gathered momentum today too (I suspect not from the claims made by him - as the place is littered with wind-ups) with Mavuba's agent claiming that we're in for him, and Barcelona denying any ties between United and Xavi.
The 'lawyer' claims that there will be a press conference tomorrow afternoon at 3PM confirming these signings, both on four year deals.

Couple deals for us today. Signed keeper Mike Pollit who I rate and sold Micah Hyde to Peterborough for 100k - IMO a fantastic signing for a League 2 outfit. Looks like we'll be bringing in another quality midfielder and defender. Happy with Akinibiyi and Pollit so far, think we can reach play offs no problem.

You mean to say replace Wayne Thomas? I think he has been our best player this season just behind Gifton
Before Christmas i would of like a new goalie for back up to Jensen which we have, a new left and right back as Thomas is utter gash and Harley i've never liked and is still living in his glory days, a new striker to replace Gray until he comes back in Feb which we have and a new center midfielder like a Kevin Ball who can control a game!
You going to Southampton?

Signed Djemba Djemba until end of the season, could prove a decent signing for us. I think we'll bring in another decent defender and I believe that squad is good enough to reach the play offs. With Gray back soon him and Ade should get a decent amount between them.
