Everyone raving about Eden Hazard but he's had just as good a season as a **** poor Bale. Its a matter of perspective really. If you dont listen to all the propoganda from the biased Spanish media and the Real Madrid fans (that have got to be the most horrible, fickle, glory hunting fans in the world), has Bale really had a bad season?

Think this may be league games only but:

Hazard - 35 games, 14 goals, 8 assists
Bale - 28 games, 13 goals, 8 assists

You just have to watch to see the difference in their performance. Di Maria is not the second best player in the league just because he has second most assists. He is not even in top 20 this season.

Information about transfers? Woodward was asked if the squad was deep enough to challenge in Europe and what kind of number of players they were looking to add, the answer was that the squad will definitely be deep enough to challenge on all fronts but they would not go into details about any transfers obviously.
 
forecasting £600 million turnover next year if we did anything close that would put us above Madrid fairly comfortably I would imagine.
 
All of the press around here is reporting that United are looking into Kamil Glik, who currently plays CB and captains Torino. Might be just usual bullshit though.
