Who was Fergie talking about?

Ferguson maintains that funds will be available if he needs to make any key additions to his squad, and revealed the club came close to completing a signing in the summer.

He said: "We will invest for signature players when the time is ready but this summer was not right for me.

"There was one player, yes, we would have liked to have got and he chose another club. I don't think he wanted to come to England.

"Some players don't want to leave their country and it's a fact of life. If they don't want to leave, we just forget about it."

Definitely not one in the UK and did not want to come to England but chose another club, not sure in the same country!

Who do you think he was targeting?

 

[HC]

Villa?

 

[Woland]

Ozil

 

[Fabio]

Benzema was mentioned at the time

Could be villa too

 

[Woland]

Oh didn't read the last line, Villa sounds more like it.

 

[Y1]

I wonder the last line was thrown in to confuse the issue.

 

[HC]

Can't think of anyone bar villa there.

He's always suggested he'd rather stay in spain too.

Good call with benzema,fab. . . . . . . .

 

[Woland]

Ignoring the last line, the big disappointment for mancs this season was Ozil... I mean they were never in for Villa but they were for Ozil, who chose Madrid over them.

 

[Delinquent]

Has to be Villa. Benzema moved from France to Spain so he doesn't really fit the bill. And Ozil did similar. Incidentally, I think Rooney to Madrid with Benzema going the other way is a definite possibility.

Well they got Bebe instead! 😉

Yep, he is exactly what they need to link midfield and attack. Giggs and Scholes can't do it forever.

 

[keniget]

He's looked great for Real. Bah.

Yep and a bargain too.

Speaking of exceptional talent, Coutinho looks a bit special.

 

[manwithnoname]

David Villa

 

[IGotALuvlyBunchOfCoconuts]

Canales.

 

[grjt]

He was talking about David Villa.

 

[Insignificance]

Bellamy?

 

[ILD]

It's obviously Villa.

 

[Insignificance]

Maybe its David Silva, and he just blatters about the leaving their country :laugh:

 

[Bazza The Kopite]

David Villa was the first name that sprung to mind when reading it.
