Talking about Manucho, what the heck is the correct position regarding his blo**y permit? I had to go to Wikipedia to find out, and there is a report that the Sky reported on 22/08/08 that he got it. Is that correct? The guy is a bullet and playing with the likes of selfless Rooney, this guy can make Samuel Etoo look like a high school striker. In which case, my opinion, we would not need a moody striker like Berba for a criminal fee. Again, with a bit more confidence in Campbel, i see the reincarnation of Andy Cole in the boy.
Maybe SAF should try to squeeze performances out of these players until next transfer window. After all, strictly speaking, whats the pressure? Its highly unlikely to win back to back UEFA, and with the league, if he misses it now, he has one more year to go full throttle for it before he retires. Remember how he dismantled the team after 1999? At least this year he has largely retained his key players, give the guy some benefit of doubt. Isn't he the gaffer, after all?
