This weekend United clinched the premiership for the second year in succession; meanwhile we finished runners up yet again. With just the Champions League final in Moscow it’s highly likely, that we’ll be empty handed.

So what’s our response? Spend ludicrous amounts on overvalued players, at least that’s the view of Alberto da Silva, a journalist for World Soccer magazine regarding the clubs first signing, Jose Bosingwa for £16.2m from Porto, who was also supposedly a target of Manchester United.

“He’s a good player but he’s not worth that much money,” he told BBC Radio 5 Live. “Chelsea’s current right-back Paulo Ferreira is a better player. I don’t know who negotiated the deal, but he did well for Porto.”

He added: “I don’t believe Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson would have been willing to spend that much money on Bosingwa.” Source: BBC.

So, another overvalued, average player, when will we learn? Still I would love to be proved wrong.
