Really? Michu cost 2 million. Guess thats 2 in a million. Chances for another one just doubled.

Lads let's be honest we stole Coutinho at 8m. Martinez rates mcmanaman highly. Buy him for 5m and immediately loan back to Wigan for one or.more.season's to develop

We didn't steal him, we recognized his potential. Same story as Swans and Michu, Newcastle and Ba, Cisse, Cabaye, Utd and Chicharito. How many bih name players have utd signed in the past 2 seasons? I Can think of Only 1 big name, RVP.

McManaman is not a big name and should not warrant such a hefty pricetag, especially as he has had a couple of good games, not a couple o good seasons. We have been burnt on several occasions by overpaying for an average player on a good run of form. Let's not repeat that mistake.

The other McManaman's final ball was weak too but he did ok ;-)
Buy and loan might be worth considering. We need more depth in the squad so might be worth it at the right price.

I think Sterling is quite different, not big enough to impose himself, more skilled than that. We need balance to deal with all comers as Arsenal are finding out slowly.

It would be a punt as he's unproven but get in early and we probably wouldn't lose out long term.

We bought a good player in Coutinho for 10m, going for average players for the same or more expensive price would be going backwards again.

On the basis of just two games I'd definitely prefer him to Downing or Henderson as our RM, that's for sure! Can't imagine anyone offering motormouth Whelan more than about £6 million at present, and probably less after relegation. An interesting prospect, reminds me of his Scouse namesake the way he runs at opponents and "dribbles" so naturally.

I can't believe this guy is being touted for 10 million, are you lot serious? It seems that we don't have much money to spend and you want to splash out on a guy that is nowhere near of the required quality and has at best shown very small glimpses that he might get it, certainly not enough to suggest that he's likely to be a top 6 club player let alone push us any further.

I can't believe people are seriously suggesting Callum McManaman is a quality player. What's even more ridiculous is that some of you think we should sign him?! He's an above average player in a terrible Wigan side, that's just been relegated. Signing him would suggest we are back to going for quantity rather than quality.

Out of interest (this is NOT meant to sound sarcastic..(and I realise saying that, makes it sound more sarcastic, but I'm really being serious..)) how many players have transferred from a relegated team to a top half team and done well?
