Its fucking ridiculous, they not even need JUDAS.
And this does not happen in England. Its not like Chelsea got Rooney, Vidic and Nani from ManU each of the last years.
The problem was that JUDAS does not wanted to renew his contract without a buy-out clause... without it BVB would not had to sell the JUDAS. Because it can't happen in England. Man Utd - Chelsea - Man City - Arsenal all have financial muscle to pull in 1-2 good players and give them stupid wages. Rooney and RVP are man utd's 200k a week players. Chelsea have Torres Hazard on 150k. Man City have Tevez and Aguero on 200k. Thats how they keep it all even in the prem. But teams like Everton can't compete with that, and will lose Fellainai there only world class player this summer too. It doesn't become boring when it's even. Bayern just dominate due to no one else having the income that they do...
I'm trying to think of a similar instance of United buying a English prodigy that was homegrown from the competition at a young age, but I'm drawing blanks. Rooney obviously moved from Everton to United, but Everton have never been competitive with United. Phil Jones is another, but Blackburn aren't even in the Premier League anymore. All their good English players were either bought from another club that didn't homegrow them (like Carrick), or are homegrown themselves (like Cleverley or Welbeck).
I guess it'd be like if United bought Jack Wilshere. Or if they had bought Steven Gerrard or Frank Lampard or something, but that never happened.

Gonna say 3-1 barca, but could also be the other way around.

That was an example I thought of, but Leeds wasn't his youth club and I think the transfer was more along the lines of Leeds going broke than United buying out the competition

LOL WUT
That noob CB for Barca is clearly out of his comfort zone xD so bad.
Iniesta looks on fire though tonight, and boy you don't wanna hit an inform Iniesta! He is lethal

Schweinsteiger on his day is one of the best central midfielders if not the best in the world.
