Why buy the sum of the whole when you can wait long enough and buy the few parts that actually make money at a bargain price?

I learned this at young age when watching Pretty Woman....

I just love this...

Wigan confirm Man United interest in Valencia, £15m

Seems like ridiculously smart business to me.

[godsshoeshine]

hahaha...awesome

[godsshoeshine]

but yeah if they can turn ronaldo into benzema, ribery and valencia then well done

[vansmack]

hahaha...awesome

For the record, I did not do that.  But I might "virtually" know the person that did.

That would far exceed my wildest expectations...

[godsshoeshine]

even assuming that tevez has gone, you replace 2 with 3. valencia is know to be quality in england, ribery has delivered all over the place and benzema is the high potential kid. i'd kind of like to see them add maybe another cmf

edit: maybe a rb too
