    i never taught id read comment like this about mr chelsea
    “josh – wake up mate, he’s not even the 3rd best defender in the PL anymore. To be honest the way he’s shying away from committing himself to Chelsea speaks volumes. Would he even be as welcome to stay now, because I suspect he’s blotted his copy book.”
    from chelsea fan
    and then there’s this one that even gives manchester united respect
    “Tabloids love this time of year to stur up certain situations, but seriously, if Man City want to treat a person as if it was Pele or Maradona coming to their club then so be it. Its a joke, and let them have him. He’s not was he was, we aint won a lot of late, Man Utd always change when its time to re think, he has to much say, and to be honest if he wasn’t at my club, i’d think he was a piece of scum. Serious, the bloke is injured alot and we want younger hungry players, so lets get rid when we can get a load of cash for him…. But tabloids also talk a load of rubbish.”
    ……………let me just take one line out of that that shows chelsea fans know what sort of player they have as there captain but just stay behind him cause he is
    “to be honest if he wasn’t at my club, i’d think he was a piece of scum. “

    it read cause the pop up screen is still open
    You scored 9 out of a possible 10

    You’ve won the league, you could star in Dallas, you’ve got more silver than Buckingham Palace …

    should get to know what answer i got wrong

    Got 5 out of 10, didn’t know where Gillespie is, how many loans Bardsley had or the age he joined, the job of Ronnie Wallwork’s relative and then I stupidly mixed up Ben Thornley’s position, i went left back but imediately regretted it…

  12. July 13, 2009 at 10:58
    Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    just cause it seems to be a bit of bother for people
    What role does Thornley’s brother Rod currently hold at Old Trafford?

    UPDATE ON TRANSFERS.. i was able to talk to a close source…
    “There will be little or no transfer activity until united return from Asia. But when they do return Nani will be sent out on loan for a season. Three teams are insterested in Park and a price in the region of 10-15million will be thought about.
    For incoming trasnfers you can seperate it in two parts
    1. Sergio aguero or no one
    2. Douglas costa or Alexis Sanchez
    The interest in etoo has been cancelled because of the huge bonuses being requested for the number of goals being score.
    Sergio Aguero will only be offered a deal of 140,00 about 60,000 less then what he will be requesting however a clause of scoring more than 20 goals each in the first two seasons and finishing top scorer in the premier league in either will allow him to earn the maximum of 200,000 that is being asked for. If this offer is not accpeted there will be no renewed interest in any other strikers and will not be the so-called ‘big’ summer signings.
    Either of Douglas Costa or Alexis Sanchez are being monitered and oneof them will be bought.man united are willing to pay upto 15mill for costa but only if he plays a certain number of league games. Man United are willing to pay 20 million for alexis sanchez but in two installements:- 15million tis year and 5million in the next tweleve months.”

    Thank you everyone
    i am really hapyyyyyyyyy :D
    THis is not a joke actually and is from a very close source at OT. (I AM REALLY HAPPY :D … SANCHEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ)
    LOL

    MUFC the Religion says:

    Why would it be after pre-season though. Not too sure on that one. Nani won’t go on loan. Who would seriously want Park.

    Sky Sports: Manchester United will present their 3 new signings later this afternoon.

  17. July 13, 2009 at 11:39
    willierednut says:

    Good news Ridwan if its true, aguero wud be a top signing but ill believe wen he’s sitting nxt 2 SAF.

    Park is a quality squad player, and a lot of sides would give their left nut for him.

    @Ridwan

    The Costa deal is pretty much done, he will be a United player by the end of the week unless something major happens. The two parties are just getting the figures sorted. Final figure is by all accounts agreed, its just how it will be made up (The initial figures are apparently around 5million different. I suspect it will be 9-10 upfront)

    And I’m hearing that the Eto deal is still on, a formal offer will be made today (may have actually been made already). Eto’s demands are no where near what he was demanding to goto City, he wants out of Barca and wants CL football and his options are limited with other suitors having gone elsewhere. The figure will be cloe to what he is on at Barca. Barca also want shot of him now and the transfer fee is below what City had accepted.

    But hey who knows, i’m not even sure most of those at the club really know whats going on. Unlike the PLC days everything is kept in a fairly small circle of who needs to know

    porter says:

    i’d prefer if Ashley Young 25 mil rumour was true, i don’t want Eto’o to push Rooney on the left wing, that would be dreadful.

  25. July 13, 2009 at 12:44
    wakey says:

    @porter

    The 25mill figure some papers are reporting is too low for Young. Villa wanted £27mill from Real in Jan and I can’t see Villa dropping Money off it. He is an English player (so inflated fee), we are an english club (inflates it further), we are United (So United tax Ahoy), we are a ‘rival’ club (Inflates it further) and we have 80mill+ to spend (so increases it again). I’m almost certain it would take us 30mill plus. Sanchez would be a better option, more potential and cheaper

  26. July 13, 2009 at 13:00
    porter says:

    Sanchez of course, but please no Eto’o

  27. July 13, 2009 at 13:01
    King Eric says:

    Ashley Young. Why? How many wingers do we need? As I keep saying he is no better than Nani. Infact when Nani’s on his game he is better. Too lightweight and goes to ground very easily, inconsistent and rarely scores goals. Not sure about Eto’o.

    Off topic – I see that Ronnies Nike deal is causing problems with the Fascists “heirachy”. Oh dear.

    Finally – Ballack reckons the rentboys will win the league.

    hello
    anyone who doubts me have every reason to but i have never made claims like these before and these are true claims and i am not lying
    i have talked to an insider and he has given me this info… he also told me that if we make a signing it will be some 18 year old unknown defender that i think peterborough and united are after (cant remember his name through the top of my head) however… these are not flase claims but is the truth and got me real excited…
    SANCHEZ AND AGUERO PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE :D
