The Indy have reported that Ravel Morrison was demanding £30k a week to sign for a new contract. It hasn't taken him long to reach for the old Twitter to deny ever asking for £30, £50 or even the £12 k that United supposedly offered him. Some spinning going on here, is this coming from the Glazer's people , it's pretty embarrasing really. If United want rid because he is a bad apple, fair enough, just sell him and have done with it. If they really won't pay what Morrison or Pogba want it will come out, especially in Twitter happy Morrison's case, so all the spinning in the world won't help.
It does seem that he wants to stay but United want him out, if that's the case accept a bid.
Contract talks have now apparently broke down over a new deal with Welbeck, i can't really stand talking about footballers wages, as they are just totally immoral to me. Commentators always point out that people complain about bankers but never say anything about footballers, i don't know too many people who think footballers even remotely earn the astronomic wages they earn. Who knows what to believe in all these contract negotiations, all i will say is that he should be a similar wage band to Jones and Smalling. It's all a bit worrying to be honest, to me Welbeck is a huge part of the United future, i really think he is going to be a top top player.
If it has gone from no value in the market, ie we can't compete with the City's, Real's and new money flooding into European football to not even being able to keep local talent that have come through the ranks, we are in even more trouble than i thought.
Interesting words from Bayern's top men during the week, abhoring the Arab money Manchester City model, the leveraged buy out model of Manchester United and worrying that Platini is going to go soft over FFP. I can't help but see that as a shot across Platini's bow, i'm pretty sure the Glazer's would have been right behind those worries about Platini if Hoeness had not gone on to tell the world that if it came to it, he would prefer to be taken over by the Arabs than by a leveraged takeover.
It was interesting that the Glazer's through a United spokeman replied almost straight away, they do seem to be worried at the moment don't they. Andersred has blogged on United present financial situation and why they will not be spending any time soon, the debt of course.
Vidic seems to be on the happy pills whilst starting his rehabilitation after his knee operation claiming that only one club from Manchester will be amongst the sliverware come the end of the season. We have a chance of course, but i can't believe he is that confident, maybe it's all a startegy to put the pressure on City ahead of Sunday's clash with Spurs.
I wish i was as confident about our chances on Sunday as i am about Spurs chances of getting a result at the boo camp on Sunday. Don't get me wrong i don't fear Arsenal, if we perform we will win, but this season its hard to predict which United will turn up, the first half United against City or the second half United.
The one thing we definitely need is bodies back, especially indefence, and here the news appears to be good as Fergie has confirmed that both Smalling and Jones have trained this week and will be fit for Sunday. It's nice to hear encouraging news about Cleverley for once as well as Young, you just know when he is fit we will hear that phrase "it's like having a new player".
Lindegaard seems to have a lot to say for himself, he's a confident chap as good old Ray Wilkins would say, i think he's a good goalie, but i'm not sure he's shown himself off to be as good as he seems to think he is yet. Still he hasn't had a proper run of games yet, so presuming he is now our number one the next couple of months will tell us just how good he is.
As for De Gea i was always worried about relying on such a young goalie who didn't speak that much English, it does seem those fears weren't unfounded. I suppose the timing of the news that the Spaniard has long vision and will need eye surgery in the summer to correct it is unsuprising. I still feel he has the potential to be our number one, but he has to bulk up and learn the language enough to be able to command the back four in front of him.
Steve Richards warns us not to buy into the current media narrative that paints Milliband as a busted flush, current assumptions should about our political may prove to be wholly wrong. Matthew Norman totally slaughters Cameron's moderate tory image as if to point out how current perceptions of tory hegemony could turn out to be miles of the mark.
I always wondered whether there was more to this story than was let on in the press at the time, but Blair's head honcho Jonathan Powell admitted yesterday that Russia had us bang to rights over the "spy rock" affair. It always pays to have a sceptical eye over western denials when countries accuse them of meddling in their internal affairs.
I would love to know what intelligence we were actually trying to get hold of, i would like to think we were trying to help the democratic opposition, but i'm pretty sceptical about that as well.
The new documentary series Putin, Russia and the west threatens to be must see TV, as David Hearst writes Norma Percy's death of Yugoslavia was as good a historical drama as there has ever been.
Indy owner Alexander Lebdev reminds us why we should be trying to assist democratic forces punish the oligarch's theft of Russia's wealth. I'm not that sure he's the best advocate of this argument, but there you go. Putin's been having a go at the oligarch's as part of his electoral campaign no doubt, was Abramovitch listening.
Hungary looks as if it may well become the first former iron curtain country to decide to turn its back on the EU and democracy. This has been a prediction from observers who have warned that the financial crisis could have serious consequences. I suppose if there was one country this was going to happen to, Hungary may have been the one predicted, it seems to have reactionary outbreaks sporadically through its history.
The Economist has lead with a special report on the rise of state capitalism and its challenges to free market liberalism, social democracy doesn't seem to merit a mention.
Nick Cohen's new book about this countries abysmal libel laws are one of the reasons oligarch's, dictators and white collar crime love the city of London, makes you proud to be British doesn't it.
Danish TV seems to be on one hell of a roll, the Killing has now been followed up with another excellent political drama Borgen. The first series has started and is already must watch, apparently there is a second series and a third one to be filmed. Following that a Swedish/danish co-production, lovely jubbly.
Ha-Joon Chang tells us not to blame the credit agencies for Eurozone turmoil, Europe is strangling itself with its flawed strategy. Paul Mason points out the six points that if sequenced right could help Europe to get out of the self inflicted mess it has found itslef in. He doesn't sound very convinced they will follow them.
Ambrose Pritchard-Evans points out the World banks fears of what will happen if they do indeed get it wrong, it will be worse than 2008, don't panic, don't panic.
Private eye continues to police our incompetent HMRC and discovers another sweet heart deal with Vodaphone. This really should be as big a scandal as Hackgate, but you just know the majority of our media owners don't want to expose any of this as they are at this themselves.
A new report has been produced for the TUC looking at what lessons should be learnt from the exporting powerhouse that is Germany. I have no arguments with it, that is definitely the way to go, i have my doubts that our unions would be capable of simulating the role that German trade unions play in Germany even if out of nowhere we discovered a social market style government.
Don't get me wrong i believe in unions playing a constructive role in an ideal world, i just don't think much of a majority of union leaders.
