    Don't forget that Sir C is a muddled old goat who is currently looking forward to seeing Charlie George play again next season, anything he says must be taken with a pinch of salt

    So do many other news outlets. I am not expert in how this works but isn't there a good chance they are either copying each other or they all got it from the same source?

    Is he any good?

    Well put. That's exactly the right way to look at it, imo, the way things are.

    Isn't the point of paying good money for players to raise the standard of what 'good enough for us' means?

    Well, yes. And, no.

    I reckon if a player is good enough for us to offer a hundred million quid for him, then the player probably feels he is good enough to be playing for Real Madrid. But now that everybody believes we have a hundred million quid to spend, that will also be the price for almost anyone else we want, who, of course, may or not be actually good enough for us. Either way, we are forced to look elsewhere, for worse.

    Hence: Danny Welbeck, for example.

    Not for Didier, though. The one we've already got is better, he thinks.
