The Devils are reported to have spoken to the ‘Portuguese King’ Luis Figo about a possible 5M$ transfer; this as many United fans see; the best thing that happened this summer.

With David and Juan leaving last summer along with Peter Kenyon and Carlos; has made summers since then a nightmare. So this time around, we start the season with loses against Arsenal and Chelsea, then comes the diminishing possibility of Rooney’s transfer and now missing ten first team players; to name a few – Rudd and Saha out for a month on injury, Ron and Gabriel on Olympic duty, Rio serving a 8 months ban and ‘The Baby Faced Assassin’ Ole out the entire season. Sir Alex dream of having 4 strikers to choose from has tumbled down and the defense wall is left with a huge hole right in the middle.

The only feel good element out of this is the ‘Smith-Factor’. The kid has made great impact within the short term. It was pure exhilarating to watch him score in the Norwich match last weekend.

Sir Alex decided to play Keane in the defense, but he lacks the pace to fight off the strikers and even so with the main man playing a defender the mid field is left wide open. The 2-1 score line against a newly promoted team is noting to talk about. But three points in the bag is all that matters in a time like this. With Ron showing that he still has the fire, the passion and the bag of trick when he came on as a sub and Saha and Rio returning to full training, things look good for us. Anyways who cares about teeth when all we breathe is fire.
