A few points:
Man United dont have an academy worth mentioning.
The club with the best academy for as long as i can remember is FC Barcelona, no other club comes close. In their first team at the moment, they have 7 players that came from the academy. Thats players on the field and not in the squad.
@ cashmoney - Nasri going to Arsenal, what a signing! The gunners can be happy over that amazing signing.
Mourinho was tipped to take over at the first big club that opened up. It was between Barcelona, Inter Milan and even Real Madrid for a little while.
He will bring Drogba and Lampard over to Inter if he gets the job.
I have a theory on the Ronaldo saga. I sometimes think that he is milking this cow for all its worth, to get a pay rise at Man United. Basically telling them, if u dont want me to leave, then pay me more.
Problem with that is that his wages are pretty much fixed, and Man United are strict when it comes to wage negotiations. No player has ever got a drastic wage increase because of one outstanding season, contract extension yes, but a drastic pay rise. NO!
So thats his dilema, personally i hope he stays at Man United. Dont fancy the chap.
