I'm sure there was ITK from someone in the past couple of days saying that the Fryers fee was less than £1m. Genius from Levy if true.

If as we assume this was the plan all along and Liege was only signing him due to their connections to us as a way around the British compensation rules (and of course they would profit from the deal) and he was always going to move to us in Jan

He wouldn't be played that often, just for freshness and match fitness and his move there would be more about training and keeping fit.

We wouldn't want him to get injured while with them and they probably wouldn't want him becoming integral to their team or indeed standing in the way of someone they will need to rely upon once he has moved to us.

The fact that he hasn't been playing regularly for them isn't necessarily at indication that he wasn't deemed good enough to do so or indeed that he will not end up being good enough for us.

Although it's interesting to see he has gone in to the development squad and suggests we will not seem him in the first team squad any time soon, one for the future.
As said he is a Grant Hall esque signing and I dont buy the fact that he wouldnt be played that often as he needs to be played as often as possible since he has no experience, I actually rate Rose(I heard he had a bad game yesterday but people have to remember this is his first season as a LB), but yea I wrote off rose a while back since he pretty much lost a yard of space due to very bad injury but his games as a LB he has been brilliant and two bad games in your first season as a LB in the premier league is bloody good

And at 22 he is very young its funny how people on here are quick to claim that he is shit despite not seeing much of him this season and the two most highly rated LB's on here are Baines and BAE and yet at 23 a young BAE was hardly getting any games with us with most people claiming we need a new lb and he was shit, and Baines had just left Wigan at 22 for£5million and no one said he was world class then either

I fear that we may of started something and fear we may lose our better ones the same way, it doesnt help Fergie was eyeing our players in our 2 U21 matches and our 2 best performers from those 2 matches which he was at are out of contract in the summer iirc

How do you know he was eyeing them btw? Assume that one of them is Pritchard, not sure who the second is.

I know he is "development" but we should chuck him against Cov if BAE isn't up to it!

Blue......wheres yellow!

There was talk last windowcthis would happen so not supprised

I don't know, but Fergie's seeing Red right about now!

Seriously though, is this kid any good? Obviously he was worth something to Utd so he must be. The other youth player to leave Utd recently was Pogba and he's been quality for Juve, a potential world class player. AVB must be keen on him and it adds to an already strong development squad.

I think Mason is up in the summer iirc, might be wrong, he had a good game considering he was at CM but he was impressed in the interview with our squad iirc

In the other match at our place only a blind guy wasnt impressed by Pritchard that day, I mean we battered them if only we could defend lol but Paddy Crerand was pretty much in awe lol also Cebellos was brillaint that day which I found surprising since I didnt think he would make it

I really hope thing doesn't end up getting dragged through the courts.

Our name and reputation is something i'm most proud of.

But of a smart but ****ish move by Levy.

lol.gif
Levy is such a shady ****. Can't I'm arsed about the actual player though. Will never amount to anything but a squad player at Spurs and will probably move to a Championship side in a few years.

Hope Fergie has a word about this, might be funny.

Levy is a fucking **** by the way.

I wonder if there's some kind of legal recourse available.

That's very dodgy.

We should keep a dossier on Levy.

Have we actually done anything wrong? Liege bought him on the cheap, Man U players often play in Belgium so the clubs probably know their youths are ok, they decided to sell 6 months later as he didnt fit in and remembered we were keen so approached us. Nothing dodgy at all!!!!

Have to agree with this.

No matte how underhand it sounds it has all gone through official channels

Surely he should have got two yellows followed by a red for those two dives?? Think Bale can learn something from this kid.

I may have read someone say already that based on that evidence he was a clear replacement for Bale ;) :D

Now I don't know if Utd fans are just bitter but they really don't sound like they're bothered about losing this kid. Is he good enough to eventually replace Ekotto?

Also, does this mean that recalling Rose is out of the question and that we might end up selling him to Sunderland after all?

No we haven't officially done anything wrong, feel uncomfortable crossing Fergie though, no one ever seems to come out on top!

Very clever business it seems, hope he comes good.

Do we have a relationship with Standard then? Wasn't aware of that if so.

The video earlier in the thread has really cracked me up, he looks quality!

Did Starbucks and Amazon? Their names are mud now.

We probably haven't broken the law (unless maybe it can proven we intended to buy after 6 months and circumvent the payment) but certainly ethically and morally it looks like we've behaved shamefully.
