寫得很不錯的一篇專欄文章（大概是 MD 這半年來寫得最棒的一篇），儘管追逐雷米（Loic Remy）在最後關頭遭遇挫敗，但精打細算的高層並不會就此罷手。以下僅節錄內文最有趣的幾句話，有興趣的話可以直接進網址觀看：原文：http://tinyurl.com/ady6yum（Journal） Back in 2010, United went to the players to convince them. Now the players are coming to them – in significant numbers. The Journal's quick ring-round to canvas opinion draws up one common phrase in relation to the French arrivals: "Good professionals". Ben Arfa doesn't drink, Cabaye and Debuchy prefer to spend time with their families while Sylvain Marveaux's patience when not playing says a lot for his character. One senior source points out that signing English players is no guarantee of a better dressing-room chemistry. They recount the story of one player – an England international striker – who signed for one of the country's top clubs but was given permission to continue living in Birmingham. It was a condition of him signing, and he was allowed to drive to the club every day, which was a couple of hours in rush hour traffic. 這段講的不具名球員，只有兩個人選：阿蘭史密夫 or 上面那篇被鳥屎澆頭的傢伙 Hamstring problems soon followed, and in his first season his first-team starts barely reached double figures. By contrast, United's French contingent have little choice but to settle here. Most live in quiet Ponteland and are able to move families over quickly and easily so integrate quickly. The process of turning United from "wee club" into "oui club" is not about to grind to a halt any time soon. Newcastle insiders say they remain "alive" to homegrown prospects but are wary of the cost of English players. The Magpies made enquiries about Southampton left-back Luke Shaw but a deal – with wages in a long-term contract factored into it – would have set United back 10M. A deal for France under-21 international Massadio Haïdara – who has played 23 games in Ligue 1 – is around 3m for the same five-year period. 附帶一提：當你看到這段中間的海達拉時，我們昨天晚間才剛正式對他報價，1.5M "When Championship clubs see Newcastle, the chairman sees a chance to wipe out their debts," an insider said. "Look at Zaha. If he was French, he'd have moved on a while ago. For the money Crystal Palace want, you can get two senior France internationals. 扎哈躺著也中槍 lol "What is the better bet?" -- 作者 qsta (Al121) 看板 Gossiping 標題 [問卦] 有沒有鱔魚意麵的八卦? 時間 Tue Mar 30 22:36:06 2010 ───────────────────────────────────────
