aye, maybe in about 5 years if they carry on developing at their current rate. But they're probably not going to now, are they? they need to gain experience and it's gonna be tough to do that being 3rd and 4th in the pecking order at Old Trafford. I suppose it's nice to have cover for the injury-prone Rio but I can't help but feel this is wasteful in more ways than one.
@ lee: fergie just doesn't want kenny or wenger to get him. jones will just rot on the bench
however he can play as a defensive midfielder because they say he is good on the ball (although im not sure about this as he always looked to hoof the ball rather than pass it or link up with the midfield in the u21 match against spain.) wasteful
also steve keane said that the deal is over £20m

this signing would be another waste of a brilliant young talent, man utd have 3 established, moderately young wingers (ok park is quite old) who are all as good or almost as good as ashley, don't really see why fergie needs him :/
yeah they're much worse than you are, i'm just complaining because the ashley young signing is current, it annoys me just as much when city do it :P
hahahahahaha, what the FUCK is going on with that? I was absolutely gobsmacked when I saw that earlier
also here's a stat: Birmingham have had a higher net spend over the past two years (since McLeish took over) than anyone but City and Chelsea. and he's just lumbered Birmingham with a violent sex offender!

So Norwich has officially signed Bennett, Slim Guldo do you think he can make the jump to EPL.
I can't say I'm entirely sure. He's certainly very talented, but the jump from playing in League 1 to the Premiership is a big one. I think he'll probably come good, he's young and should be able to adapt, but don't be surprised if he doesn't make it straight away. I really hope he does succeed though, because then if Crofts does well than that's three players that I've seen play for Brighton do well in the Premiership (the others being Crofts if he does well and Zamora!)
I don't hate him so I don't see why you would. He has been a fantastic servant to the club and was one of the biggest contributors in getting us back into the Premiership and then in making sure we stayed there.
I'm disappointed but, as always, it seems a measure of blame needs to be pointed at the Newcastle hierarchy - Nolan requested a new contract deal a few weeks back and it was promptly rejected. Then his old buddy Sam Allardyce comes along and offers him a big stack of money and makes him feel wanted? How can you blame him? It does make me question his ambition though - I feel he was on the verge of breaking through into the England squad and another good season would have put him in good stead for the Euros. No chance of that from the Championship, Kev.
I'm worried about the knock-on effect this is going to have too - a few months back Barton was quoted as saying he would leave the club if Kevin Nolan was sold in the summer. And now, this on Twitter.

Yeah, Big Sam (Allardyce) loves his former Bolton players. He took El-Hadji Diouf to Bolton, Sunderland, and Blackburn and is apparently interested in the Senegalese striker again, today he bought Abdoulaye Faye, from Stoke, on a free, he too, is a former Bolton defender. And now he wants Nolan from Newcastle, he was a fans' and manager's favourite during his time at Bolton. That's why Big Sam made him captain when Jay-Jay Okacha left.
Basically, the West Ham board have said to Big Sam, 'We have to be back in the top-flight next season, no ifs nor buts about it, we will provide you with the money for transfers and wages, buy whoever you like, especially those you've worked well with in the past. If we don't get straight back though, there'll be trouble fo you...'
