Haha, my Dutch friends are besides themselves with surprise, and disappointment! None of them think this is a good idea, and those that've been approached for comments are couching their statements with little bits like "Great for him, I hope it is not too big a move, as expectations will be very high" type stuff.
One coach told me this morning that Memphis was being heavily advised against the Manure move, but he believes the lure of the spectacle of Old Trafford was big, and the presence of Giggs was critical.
He said it 'wasn't about the money', which is par for him, however, word is the salary offer from Manure was off the charts, like something Spurs would never consider competing with, so.....
For me, ya I'm disappointed, he could have been a true catalyst for Spurs, and a potential world class superstar. If only he'd gone somewhere else where I could continue to root for him, but not at Manure. Especially not there. Now, I hope he fails miserably, barely plays, and is available for transfer in the near future. :17: :17: :17:
At least the saga didn't drag out for months, and we can now target others that'll fit that spot for us.
