"Fergie has a 'Belly on'"

Looks like United are going to buy David Bellion from Sunderland in the region of £3 million sterling. (According to Manchester Evening News)

United fans - What are your Views?

(Personally, I don't really know what to make of it)

:S

You're right about English players costing a lot but Fergie has been known to try and sign them before ie Shearer and Owen but it has never worked out. It'd be interesting to see how Bellion performs at Man U.

I think the situation is that Beatie would cost a silly amount of money because lets face it English players are priced out of the market these days, you'd be paying double or even triple amounts to what they are actually worth. Ive heard Gordan Strachan quoting that he would probabaly want something like £10-£12 million for Beatie and that is plain ridiculous and the main reason why English clubs look abroad or closer to home (smaller teams) for Foreign players who are equally as good but cost far less in both wages and transfer fee.

Before I even start, please take note that I am in no way a Man U supporter. I can't stand Ferguson and his pedantic ways.

Saying that though, he knows his stuff (bar Taibi and maybe Veron). He has obviously seen something in this Bellion which he likes and is willing to splash out £3m (a pittance for Man U) to have him in the squad. This could turn out to be one of his greatest signings (after Cantona).

All I can say is I am disappointed that yet again, a large English club is buying foreign players. I was hoping to see Beattie at Man U but apparently Fergie thinks he is too similar to Ruud "babyliner" Van Nistelrooy.
