i think that these events got chelsea out of being banned from signings after the gael kakuta issue, so for once, thanks united (never used 'thanks' and 'united' in the same sentence before!)

well fifa tried to make a bid deal of the whole thing, made a hash out of it with united, and chelsea got a more lenient punishment. the joke is that we can approach foreign youngsters but not domestic ones outside the catchment area...

same sort of situation with kakuta really. smaller teams trying to squeeze more money out the bigger sides.

legally chelsea and united were right, morally i think they were wrong. but then rules also need changing

What about the irony. Le Havre commit the offence that they accuse United of. Still, at least it's sorted one way or the other.

Well i hope he is worth all of this,

When he plays for utd, he is going to have all the expectation and media pressure from this.

I've watched him all season on MUTV and he looks superb. Big and strong but can get the ball down and play it. He also hits a mean free kick
