I’m On The Ribery Bandwagon

For that price??97m euros??

We can’t get him. Not on this price.We can afford to but we won ‘t buy anyone else.

Lyon won’t sell Benzema because they think that they are going to get more money for him next year after the World Cup.

Remember, this is a league that 2 unknowns from Wolfsburg took by storm, and who regards Luca Toni as a very good striker.

YES!!!… We need a real top class player like Ribery, Not just a fair player like Valencia…

To replace a top player like Ronaldo, we should go for a super winger Ribery. It’s no use to sign a player like Valencia and sooner make him sit on the bench…. as he simply NOT GOOD ENOUGH…

Yes…What a shame we can’t get him now. Last season we haven’t scored too many goals, we really do need a goal-machine, now that ron’s gone. Benzema would’ve been the ideal buy…Now i am hoping bayern will lower the price a little. Ribery isn’t worth 50m+.

agreed with Fze123…….I think it would be a wise decision to go for Benzema or Aguero (or Both..wishful thinking? no..we’ve got the money now..;) )….Ribery is 27 and Bayern are demanding a hell lot of money…I say we should not sign ribery if his price tag doesnt come down below 40 mil…benzema is my choice…and If tevez leaves then Aguero plz…:)

“and fuck off Carlos Tevez”

Yet another completely unnecessary and irrelevant dig at someone who has played a massive part in our recent success. Class.

Funny thing is that as good a player as Ribery is, he desperately wants to play for Madrid or Barca and, were we to sign him, we’d be lucky to get two years out of him before he was agitating for a move there. Can’t wait for the ‘fuck off Ribery’ stuff on here if that happens…

@Corea:When is the Tevez news expected to come?

@ costas
ashley young and pato

@ Manchester United forever

i don’t know. The internationals are over for now.
I’ve heard that in 1-2 weeks time the matter should be resolved.

I won’t support the player who thinks he is bigger than the club.
I won’t support the player who wants to use the crowd in order to gain attention.
I won’t support the player who doesn’t respect the manager.

And to think United signed Nani for 17m and Bayern got Ribery for 17m…

vidic will get ya 15

Unfortunately, the club don’t seem interested in Young. I don’t know why. And Milan have said that Pato is not for sale.

trust me weed NEED to buy Sergio Aguero even if its £40-45mil.we should also buy alexis sanchez for about £20-25mil check out their videos on youtube and tell me im wrong

Whatever it is, please dont pay 25m for Tevez

HE…WANTS…TO…PLAY…FOR…MADRID. He ain’t coming folks.

With the cash we have now, we shouldn’t pay that money for Tevez. Maybe his future is blue after all.

@Paul Scholes, Really:

Lol.Are you going to Middlesbrough?

Hi, I’m Franck From Bayern. I don’t like it here, Sir Alex please sign me up…
I got offer from Real & Barca too but fuck them. United is the best club in the world!!!

fuck off tevez? use the crowd? no respect for the manager? tevez was desperate to sign for utd but the powers that be didn’t want him, was it saf or the yanks? apparently saf phoned him personally to try to persuade him to sign which tells you that it was more that likely a yanky thing against him. i ask you this, if you was treated like tevez was and then when the clubs best player walks out on you would you go back and play for people who didn’t want you at the club? fuck off tevez, you should hang your heads in shame. you obviously know nothing about football.

Seems like every player we are after is being refused permission by his club…tough times upon us…things looking bleak.

Really cant see SAF spending that sort of money on a player who has stated he prefers Spain !! I think we are looking at Valencia and going from there with the squad we have .

Are you for real scott?

This is for those who didn’t see Sanchez play, a star in the making. We should sign him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBQHfMNg1qI

@ZiCo:Eden Hazard is class.Reminds me of Ronaldo…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQTyv2oh5AA

ribéry won’t come to United but we can get Lennon/valencia or douglas costa.
we don’t need strickers we already have Kiko Macheda and Danny Wellbeck.
But we do need a goalkeeper and I’m a huge fan of David Ospina.
and what about Hargreaves is he going to play next year?? we really need him now.
Tosic looks bad hope that Ljacic will be better

It sure looks like Valencia is a done deal. Of course, he can’t “replace” Ronaldo – who else has that package of power, speed, and skill ? But he would allow Rooney and Berbatov more freedom.

Mostly, though, I think that the team is going to undergo a very substantial re-organization of its attacking formation – and I have to think that SAF is very well aware of this which is no doubt why he was willing to “give away” without any of the telephone calls and flying visits of last summer. Probably, the deal was done last summer with a final year “on loan” so, one would assume, SAF has no doubt be scouting and planning for Ronaldo’s departure with a new structure in view. Scholes is done, Giggs has some more in his tank but only as a “super sub”, and I think that the signals are pretty clear that Carlitos is now viewed as surplus-to-requirements since he won’t accept a squad role.

Since last year’s EPL champions and CL runner’s up were the lowest scoring unit for the past three/four years, it would also argue that its over-reliance on CR was a weakness not a strength – no matter how great an individual talent he is and no matter what individual contributions he made. SAF is pretty ruthless in making tough decisions and he must have thought that Ronaldo was past his “best-by date”. In fact, he might even have come to the conclusion that he was selling a virus to TheVirus ! We’ll have to wait for the next instalment of his autobiography for his real thoughts on that.

Ribery is a terrific player but he’s almost 28 and Bayern don’t need to sell. So, as Tony Soprano would say, “Fugghedaboudit”.

If he buys Valencia and doesn’t go for Benzema then he’s probably going to switch back to a 4-4-2. That probably means that Nani gets his shot or else he might have already written him off and, perhaps, go back for Alexis Sanchez or someone like that.

If he fights hard – and pays high – for Benzema then he’d probably want some experienced back-up, too. Someone like Emile Heskey would be ideal to be the back-up bulldozer.

But no matter what he does about the forwards, the bigger issue has to be making sure that the team’s defensive foundation doesn’t just crumble. VDS is now close to the end of a long, excellent career; the other two keepers don’t inspire confidence. Rio is showing worrying signs of fragility – and he’s been UTD’s best player over the past three years. Gary Neville is past it. My guy, Wesley Brown, is also fragile and, so, unreliable. John O’Shea is, well, John O’Shea – a valuable member of a team but not necessarily a “cornerstone”. Rafael is defensively naive – I have no clue about his brother, Fabio. Jonny Evans and Vidic and Evra are all class-acts but it’s there neighbours who create uncertainty. Likewise, the central midfield is a place that harbours too many mediocre players – but no really great ones. So, I think that there is a crying need to make a HUGE signing to upgrade that department.

I wrote before that I’d spend the CR-cash on Benzema and Daniele di Rossi. I still think that way. But what I think is – like what Scott and the rest of you think – irrelevant. What matters is what SAF has already planned. We have a few weeks of excitement in watching those plans reveal themselves. And, who says it’s “silly season” – ya gotta love it.

At that price. No thanks.

We need to strenghthen in other areas.

Plus United get the money in 4 installments.

Oh and Neville to Middlesbrough?! Either sell him or retire him.

Brown and Rafael are both better players and I don’t think the guy will eer be number 1 choice again.

@Corea

I read somewhere that United are getting the money in 4 installments.
Santander gave Real the money on an interest free loan. INTEREST FREE!

Ribery is too expensive. He might make an immediate impact but at that price we will not be getting any other players.

agreed,would love to see ribery,but as everyone seems to agree,he might be little expensive. Instead i’m sayin aguero who is available at the right price, sanchez as the next exciting prospect and valencia as the guy who takes the immediate pressure off sanchez. That?s realistic i think

Another vote for Sanchez..not that our votes count for anything. The guy looks brilliant. Much like Ronaldo was when he arrived. Looks a lot better than Valencia and..well, lets not mention Nani.

Id take Ribery first, but i dont think we can get him for a fair price.

We will NOT get Ribery and I can’t say I would be too bothered. Agree with denton but Valencia as well as he looks a pretty good bloody player in my opinion. Played really well second half against the Argies the other night. De Rossi has not been on our radar though has he? Ideally Benzema, Valencia and De Rossi.

A mate has phoned to say on teletext we have put bids in for Benzema and Marko Vucinic? I cannot find anything to back this up though. Will be back in an hour.

Marko Vucinic just signed a new contract with Roma.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/manutd/5523711/Manchester-United-rebuffed-by-Roma-striker-Mirko-Vucinic.html

@Corea
I think we just need Benzema, Valencia, another midfielder.
Ribery is ridiclously priced. No way should SAF be sending that much money to Germany. When was the last time United paid for the finished article to wear that number 7 shirt? The majority of the time they have grown in to it. Beckham and Ronaldo being good examples. I think it should be unallocated this season.

too many negatives way overpriced, he doesn’t want to play in england because of the weather so he’ll hate it in manchester and lets not forget he hasn’t proven himself in a top league german and french are inferior leagues and have been for some time

Both Ribery and Benzema are class. I would love to see them at United, but both players have their hearts set on playing in Spain – Ribery for Barcelona and Benzema for the facists.

Aguero,Sanchez,Douglas Costa,Eden Hazard,Sotiris Ninis…any of these very promising young players could do a job but with this 6+5 rule coming in over the next 2 years,we need a few more English or home grown players. For this reason,Ashley Young would be a good option and he won’t want to join Madrid in a few years. If Tevez leaves Aguero would be a superb replacement as he is so young and(coming from Atletico) won’t want to join Madrid in a few years either!

Why buy a player who has made it clear he wants to play in Spain? Do we really want another winger who tries to force his way out of the club come the season’s end to join Madrid or Barcelona at the end of every season? Brilliant though he is I dont think Ribery is the man we need.

On one player KJ? No chance. To the person who said he looked like Eric. How can you compare that ugly little freak to the King. Eric has film star looks and class.

Hargreaves was worth every penny. Hope he’ll be back next season in top form.

Yeah wasnt saying we paid too much for Hargreaves, just saying Bayern made it hard.

Huddlestone? Another CM?

He is a DM ) They all say we need one ))

http://www.tribalfootball.com/villa-deal-tottenhams-huddlestone-imminent-250457

problem with heddlestone is he is too big and heavy,he has 60 minute legs, the other 30 minutes is the problem as he is a pretty good player

Huddlestone is obviously United class….

@John Ferry
We already Real’s feeder club. So it doesn’t really matter anymore.

@ AlphaRS

i also kinda like him but

Hargo, Fletch, Carrick, Ando, Scholes, Gibson, Possebon..

i don’t know why you all say we need one…

@ arsene wenger

true. and of course while Campbell didn’t play for Spurs why the hell he will play for ManUnited ?
Sometimes it’s more difficult than you first think.

@Arsene Wenger
I’m being sarcastic. We already have too many players who aren;t quite good enough in the team never mind the squad.

@Corea
None of those names in midfield stand out as being brilliant.
Some have potential, some seen past it, some need a chance.

isn’t anyone worried about the spanish league next season? they currently have the 3 best players in the world. Messi, kaka and soon ronaldo, and you never know, maybe kaka and ronaldo will form a good partnership. maybe it will be close in the champions league next season. i hope that won’t be the case.

I totally agree. What an amazing talent. Also, his personality is almost the exact opposite of Ronaldo

@ Corea – we do have a lot of midfielders but only hargo & fletcher can be considered defensive midfielders and with hargo’s fitness problems, we do need a back up.

so darren bent could have been frazier campbells ian wright this season, but he could have retiired darren bent given another run of games

Oh no! we have Gibson, we have Carrick who is classified as a DM.

IFs ? IF Fletch, Hargo and Carrick were injuried ? Awful! Let’s buy 50 DM and we’ll all be happy.

@Arsene Wenger
United probably have the weakest central midfield out of the top 4.
Controversial I know but comparing man for man it may be true!

@Corea
Forlan was good enough for United he just didn’t get a chance to show it on enough occasions.
SAF plays players out of position supressing their talents. Rooney and Anderson are classic examples. Obviously for the good of the team.
And yes we most definately need a creative midfielder.

the thing is spurs director of football (daniel comoli) signer frazer campbell, neither junde ramos or redknapp so it was hard for the kid to be given trust

It all depends on the formula on Fergie’s mind.
We didn’t need creative midfielder because we had Ronaldo.
It all depends.

What about Joey Barton? I’m sure he’ll be cheap (i am joking, dont worry, I havng gone insane!)

i think man united will go for a 4-4-2 next season with wingers, or a 4-5-1 with berba uptop

VDS
Brown Rio Vida Evra
Hargo Carrick
Valencia Berba Nani
Rooney

4-2-3-1

too early..

@ Costas

No, maybe Modric ?

id like modric from spurs, im so custom to bad defendin i dont even think about defenders any more,i only know about vidic rio terry and carvalho,they are the only defensive type players i could talk about, defensive midfield? what is this invisible position

real lack of mature english talent going around, thats all the transfer window exposes

I think that it is always a risk spending more than 25 million on any player.
If Berba doesnt shine next season then he will look like an expensive mistake. If Ronaldo does not shine at Real then heads will roll in Madrid.
Robinho hasnt won the league for City has he ? One player is not going to win a league on their own but they can upset the team by demanding twice as much money and special treatment.
30 million + the prestige of playing for the biggest and best club in the world should be incentive enough for any player and recompense enough for any club.
I think Fergie would NEVER go beyond 40million and even then it would have to have been Kaka or Messi or similar level.
Ribery 65million – Fuck Off. Not a chance.

i think the u21’s tournament will be the big shop window for the english clubs this year,i cant really see any huge transfers coming into this country

I think we got the best deal we could.No one will ever get a deal like that ever again.I just hope the market becomes reasonable again.

Arsene @ 19:15 – once the deal was agreed, and the money was in place, there wasn’t going to be any more dickering.

AF looks ahead – and he’s probably been doing so since last summer. Didn’t Whelan – the Wigan chairman – say that UTD have been watching all of Wigan’s games this year. You can be sure that they weren’t watching Titus Bramble ! They were “running the rule over” Valencia.

There are also reports that UTD have already had one bid for Alexis Sanchez rejected – so you have to figure that he’s on the radar, too. He’s a little guy – 5′8″ – who is similar to Aguero, but without the Maradona-baggage. From what I’ve read, he’s described as a “forward” – not a striker, not a winger but just a “forward”.

Like I wrote earlier, I’m still of the opinion that UTD need a “proper” strong midfielder in the de Rossi/Gattuso style; and there are issues in central defence and goal that can’t be overlooked.

Makes you wonder what Ryan Giggs and Tierry Henry would have been worth if their prime was today. If United accepted the installments, then that’s a joke.Real basically have done a 20 million signing for the next 4 years.

I said Sneijder the other day!! Someone might remember. I also said Schweinsteiger! Anyone else agree?

@Drabik:I remember,but don’t agree….

the instalments payments dont really matter,as long as real madrid must have guaranteed the purchase against something worth the value, so the banks will always know united are 80mill in credit if they wish to spend 80 mill tommorow

Valencia is pretty much a done deal. He will allow SAF to build the team now around Rooney. SAF won’t panic buy. He will buy Tevez or a replacement.We will need another holding midfielder if Hargo doesn’t make it. He will buy in January if necessary or till prices become more sensible.
I’ve just read what the Barcelona president has just said about the Virus;
“Madrid buy superstars, we make them”

Drabik it depends.I think that Schwein has a better chance at making it than Sneijder.And i was thinking about him last year during the Euros.But i don’t know what kind of season he has had.I also liked Podolski.Tough to say.

“Funny thing is that as good a player as Ribery is, he desperately wants to play for Madrid or Barca and, were we to sign him, we’d be lucky to get two years out of him before he was agitating for a move there. Can’t wait for the ‘fuck off Ribery’ stuff on here if that happens…”

Ain’t that the truth. he’s said he wants to go to Barca already.
Benzema also has sid he doesn’t want to play in England so what’s the point in getting him?

Huntelaar whilst neither fast nor particularly mobile has the knack of being in the right place at the right time and could be the finisher to play with Rooney/Berbatov. I was up for dumping Berbatov as I didn’t think he fitted into our style of play (fast counter attacking), but now that Ronnie has gone our style of play will probably change anyway which might suit Berba better, and also might work for Huntelaar. Rooney has got to have a crack down the middle. Surely Fergie can’t ignore how well he has done recently there in an England shirt

I think Ashley Young would be a good buy and I’d have thought we could get him for 20 mil odd. I’m not a fan of Nani but Fergie seems to have different ideas. He could have a go on the right for a while.

We should definately grab Glen Johnson too

I know i said it in another topic, just reiterating.

I thought skysports earlier said chelsea, liverpool and man city have all made bids?

Eto is a possibility up front I guess. Great player but ego might not go down well

Drabik, the Portsmouth chairman has said that it’s a club that lays in the Ch.League.I can’t see it being Liverpool.If it’s Chelsea,it shows you why they are so mismanaged.They will pay a lot of money for a player they had in the past but they weren’t very patient on.Not to mention that they payed a ton of cash to buy a player in that position last summer!

@red ranter
“doesn’t like the weather” or “my missus hasn’t settled”
Isn’t this agent speak for “i’ve just been offerred a shit load of cash to move”
Not that I’m being cynical like.LoL

who dont like the weather in england?? scarface? he is from strasbourg or one of them practically german parts of france where everyone follows german football,does germany get much better weather than the uk?

Arsene Wenger:

“I don’t like the weather”.
Translation: Give me more money.

lol remember alx hleb,london is too noisy,prefered gettin splinters in his ass on the bench

its a sad game now footie,no one does it for the love,its all about the money,not many of these players will be great managers because of the example they have set chasin the £$ ,they wont have the right to expect players to be loyal to them

Guys check this out

http://clockenders.com/afc/?p=2295

You know why i think the weather excuse is ridiculous?Because i moved from Greece to England when i was 9 and it took me 3 days to get used to the colder weather. Now granted, in Manchester it rains a lot more, but is it really that big a deal for 27 year old professional athletes?

i thought the parthenon was one of the 8 wonders of the world, strange, i might be be in greece this summer ,i will definantly pass by there if i can costas, i also did a school project on ancient greece

It looks like Liverpool went for Johnson )) LOL.
The most important position for FSW to strengthen ? Interesting.
But they can use Crouch situation and add some 10 mln to buy him. Maybe ..

Cold weather is much easier to play in any way…players cool off quicker and sweat less. Anway, it’s not like this: weather=great football.

glen johnsons a good player but i wouldnt swap him for sagna even though sag cant cross a ball, i dont know about johnsons defencive skills

now they want a highly rated defender as well

Maicon ? ))
It think they need 2. Another one is a Central Midfielder.

i think he is a good attacking defender, i wouldnt really call him an out an out defender, a smart attackin player would get in behind johnson repeatedly due to his reluctance to sit back,its only his goals that have got him this publicity

But anyway )
They are Real Madrid, they have money.
Perez had a plan. Firstly sign the players who will sell them shirts. Kaka, Ronaldo. Now Villa.
And then he will buy some defenders. If he was able to buy the players of Kaka and Ronaldo calibre there will be no trouble to sign the defenders ?
They all want to play for Real Madrid. Espescially when they will have to pay 25% income tax and not the 50%.

yeah but the wage bill will still be huge,players that cant even get in the squad on a match day earning 60-80k, they have about 4 defensive midfielders,, about 6 forwards, their gonna play a 4-3-3 now with kaka ronaldo and villa,so they gonna have raul huntelaar and ruud on the bench, plus they have at least 2 more strikers,something will give at real madrid, there will be a carboot sale of players,if u can take their rediculous wages then take them on the cheap,just get them off the books

Albiol is a good signing for them.But as a defender.They will need a midfielder with bite i feel.

wakes=wages lol,dunno what i was thinking

well they have 2 diaras,guti,royston drenthe, thats 4 players with bite, 4 internationals,i cant see a galactico team with more than 1 dm, unless their going to be the most defensive galactico team ever

Forget about what formation they play……… it’s about how many shirts they can whore. It’s going to be interesting to see what happens. It could go tits up or could be a stroke of genius.

I think that they well sell a lot of shirts.Lets face it.It’s a great time to be a Real fan.What they are doing now is unparalleled.Thankfully we won’t have to deal with them until March.Barca will have that problem for now.

@arsene
Funnily enough one of Madrids’ directors when asked “what if you get into financial difficuties” replied ” The Bernabeau is situated in the centre of Madrid in prime real estate territory, we can sell the ground and build a new one out of town”. This is probably a wind-up but there again……….

rc7 i am amazed a director would even joke about that,but their powerless to perez now

Yeah, who knows what can hap0pen during the season? But as far as the summer is concerned,they have every right to be happy.Imagine if we kept Ronaldo and brought Kaka and Villa to the team. But the euphoria will end at some point.

basically this could be a sign of the premier league havin outspent itself, i remember when the italians had a ten year spell of buying all the best talent,now i think it could swing to spain because the english prem has had its 10 years, they americans and the arabs are mor interested in assets and shares maybe,they fooled the fans,now its spains turn (but valencia are a different story)

@ Costas

i order the official kit every year, it’s not a problem for a Greece citizen, is it ?

I saw that last night Corea.It means that they are getting 135million pounds each year from TV channels for the right of showing their home games. 3 times more than what we make!

@ Costas

i know the meaning (i have a dictionary) LOL
i was asking about the reasons

I haven’t done a good research to see is the sell real ones.They probably do.Form me it’s a case of going to the local bazzar,finding fake shirts and buying one.I might have to look harder for the real deal.

@Corea
You’ve hit the nail on the head. The £135 mill is only for domestic rights and doesn’t include the Champions League money.
Imagine if we sold our TV rights individually. Probably worth £200 mill.
The problem of course is this would make the smaller clubs weaker.
Even in Italy teams like Milan are cutting their costs.
In Italy they are lookng to sell their TV rights collectively which is why even teams like Milan are cutting their costs.

lol clichy @corea i gotta laugh lmaoooooooo,clichy is no galactico

Corea,won’t Ramos play?How did Clichy come about?

Ramos can play in the center as a backup ))

“Although the prospect of seizing Xabi Alonso from Liverpool may be receding because of Gareth Barry’s move to Manchester City, Arsenal’s Gael Clichy is among the principal candidates to fill Real’s left-back position, problematic since the departure of Roberto Carlos in 2007.

Arsenal are unlikely to resist a £12m bid given the progress last season of Kieran Gibbs and Clichy’s injury record.”

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1192876/Real-Madrid-make-160m-spent-days-capture-34m-striker-Villa.html?ITO=1490

DDDD

Ronaldo has been bought to play left back.
Didn’t Perez explain that to him?

For R E A L ))))))))))))
Oh noooo! )))

They also have Marcelo, a left back ?
Not sure about his defensive skills but remember Barca on the 27th of May.

imagine the list of players that wenger would have given perez if he took the job, bendtner, toure-kolo,and maybe some 13 year old from everton if he was feeling greedy

what did pepe do to get a 10 match ban last season?

@ arsene wenger

youtube ? )) didn’t you know ? ))

10 match ban,he should be fired for that,omg i had never seen that pepe red card before,thats just taking the piss

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQCh6EXRq9Y amazed

Aw go watch it on youtube! You will laugh your butt off.The man is a joke.

Guys, i’m behaving like an idiot searching for the links
Forgive me.

But Vida news made my day. WE have to regain some confidence and it helps.
I want a big interdiew from Fergie not those few words. Some more days in France and we want to here from you.

Tevez is off from what i understand from that. Fuck off for all i careI have said it 3 times today.With the cash we have now,we can do much better.

Casilias even said that his behaviour was very inappropriate and the club like Real won’t tolerate this kind of shit.
Pepe said that it could be the end of his playing days and he doesn’t understand what happened to him.

There’s only 2 clubs with that sort of spending power in Spain mind, or even 1.

Sorry if its been asked already, or if its something really obvious.

But what shirt number will Ronaldo be wearing over there?

I remember hearing something about his brand “RC7″ conflicting with his Madrid move but cant join the dots.

he will be cr9,he had already copyrited CR9

whoops. was supposed to be CR7* lol

Thanks Arsene

Costas, it’s 1:33 AM. what’s the plan ?

I hope every person who was in Old Trafford and Booed when Fergie Subbed Tevez now writes Fergie an apology letter. Its been clear to me for a while that Tevez was using the Fans but that seems to confirm it once and for all.

Atleast at no point did Ronaldo try and play the Fans off against Fergie like Tevez did. I have to say its as if Argies all have a Generic trait that makes them complete twats and I’d be quite glad if we never have another Argie at Old Trafford based on the ones we have had

Wakey spot on with everything you say.They are prima donnas.They have a complex that everytone has a vendetta against them.Imagine him fucking off to Shity,only for Bellamy to start ahead of him!

@Corea: No plan for tonight.Just hanging around here until i fall asleep on the keyboard!

Where are all this Tevez ad Ronaldo defenders ?

I hope no more phone calls from Fergie. We must stay firm!

And no Maradona’s relatives please.

right thats enough for me,il be doing my stepovers in the park tommorow that i learnt watchin my mates giggs soccer school video,about 1992 that was, laters chaps

@ Wakey

35 mln ? for Young a lot. But it’s better than 95 mln for Ribery i think.

@ Costas

aha. i remember. the usual time is 1-30 local Manchester time. ))

I’m also off, Costas.
No 1.5 hours more for me. Tomorrow my last day off for me before going to work.

Where is suhayl? i miss his epic posts.

Goodnight.

Yeah, i know Arsene.They will be desperate to get there. I will love it when they get knocked out.

Goodnight Corea.

reddy brek man Said,June 13th, 2009 @16:21 fuck off tevez? use the crowd? no respect for the manager? tevez was desperate to sign for utd but the powers that be didn’t want him, was it saf or the yanks? apparently saf phoned him personally to try to persuade him to sign which tells you that it was more that likely a yanky thing against him. i ask you this, if you was treated like tevez was and then when the clubs best player walks out on you would you go back and play for people who didn’t want you at the club? fuck off tevez, you should hang your heads in shame. you obviously know nothing about football.
this was posted at about 14.30 bst but was moderated. poular site and many posts since. stop the frenzy folks. tevez IS class if he plays for someone else then so what, his utd rep will live on and rightly so. the vitriol makes us bitter i’m sorry to say.

Fuck off Tevez.

The Daily Star reports that we could move for Silva for 25 million pounds.I wish it happens.

@Wakey
Good comment. He will go for the dough ie Citeh. If Chelsea offer more the bitters will break the bank just to piss us off. Meanwhile Carlitos will be laughing.

@wakey

spurs are putting together an offer worth about 20mil for Young – Jenas and Bentley I believe? Obviously no guarantee that would be accepted but might set a starting price

Ribery is just a good player, not exceptional. Benzema will grace united even more than the lost genius. Let’s go-get Benzema!

wakey, it sounds like sour grapes to me. if tev stays at utd you would be happy and anybody who slagged him off would cop an earfull off you. its the fact he’s moving on that utd fans are not best pleased about. such abuse aimed at tevez is uncalled for, and i’d say that 99% of the people who actually go to old trafford would say the same. whether he gose to city or chelsea means absolutely nothing to me, or even if he wants to go back to boca with his pockets busting at the seames! now come clean you want him to stay, so less of the fuck off tevez campaign its just bitchy-ness.

@reddy brek man:

There is a difference. Rio never manipulated his relationship with the fans to get what he wanted. Rio didn’t make a title deciding game with Arsenal his own farewell party. Rio didn’t constantly talk against the manager in the media. And Rio always was quick to allay fears about him leaving. Players have every right to hold out for the best deal possible. They don’t have the right to think that they are bigger than the team and make their issue bigger than the capture of a record 18th League title. That’s why Tevez turned out to be a bullshiter and that’s why many United fans won’t shed a tear to see the back of him.

costas, listen pal you know the script with rio, he had utd up against a wall and the utd were not happy about it (there’s only 1 greedy bastard was the chant) sometimes silence can be deafenning. tev wanted his contract sorting or be told that he could find another club. utd tried pullin joorabooa’s pants down by offering about 15 million only when it looked like city and the dippers were sniffin round him. i don’t for 1 minute blame saf for what is happening i think its more to do with the money men hoping that they’d get him on the cheap, trouble is its backfired, now according to reports it looks like utd’s loss is somebody elses gain. if he gose to city then its a step backwards in the respect that they aint playing european footy but the flip side of the coin is that he’ll get more games (and money$$) tevez was probably one of the reasons why utd have had success whilst he has been at utd (1 man dose not make a team) and his work rate and attitude to the game is on a par to rooney, they love to play and rightly so. i think that the way he’s been cold shouldered was disrespectfull and showed a lack of professionalissame by the club and i think they won’t make another mistake like it again. i personnally wouldn’t call tev because he gave his all for the cause, to have what seems to be a hate campaigne against tev is shocking to say the least. everyone has a right to voice their opinion but if utd fail to hold on to the prem next season then it won’t be down to ronny nobbin off to madrid but probably down to not havin a mad man charging all over the pitch! i’m not fallin out with anyone but in the cold light of day its been a bad move by utd. off for a pint now my fingers are killin!!!

costas your jumpin the gun mate, tev aint a city player or anyother clubs player yet. your questions, did tev target saf personnally for not playing him? i don’t think so, every good pro wants to play as many games as they can. i can’t recall him slaggin saf off for not playing him all the time and i remember him scoring and lookin to the directors box and holding his ears which tells me his protest was aimed at somebody’S else. the booing of saf was probably hoping that he could pull the strings to get tev on board, if that would ov happened then it’d be happy days and tev is a hero still. at utd there is a strong rotation policy which bloods the future of the club and rightly so, that’s why utd have continuing success but i didn’t see tev knocking or calling anyother players around him hoping to further his place in a competative squad, i think he accepted it but he wanted to know where his future lied. i don’t want to back you into a corner but who would you have tev or berb? you point to the fact that rio, carrick and vid have played over the past few years but its more than them (vander, shea, fletch….how many more? there is no I in team (ta da ronny) it just baffles me that everybody wants tev to sign but when its not lookin likely its fook off tev! what will you do if he has a change of heart, you’d look a right jessie. don’t take offence pal but i think rejection on both sides is playin a part here, utd want him and tev wants to stay but HE and saf don’t decide the outcome unfortunately. tell me this and tell me no more costas, dippers have been sniffin round tuncay from boro, tuncay in a utd shirt would get about 15 goals a season no danger, he’d be about 10 mill at tops (not even city would bid more!) then next season benzema from lyon when they’ll sell him.

We could go for Hamsik too, I’m surprised he’s not even being mentioned. Hamsik and Sanchez could be huge in the future, IMHO. If we spend some money on them (and maybe Valencia), we could come hard after Benzema and Ribery. That would be strong position.

Wasn’t Fergie given 100 million, plus Ronaldo’s money for the market?b I think I read it at goal.com…
