Chelsea’s Deco The Buy Of The Season - Republik Of Mancunia: A Manchester United Blog

“Remember, we got Deco for £8 million and that looks to be the buy of the season.”

Deco started 17 games for Chelsea, scoring just one more goal after Peter Kenyon made that ludicrous statement about their new signing.

“I have a contract with Chelsea, but there are offers from other clubs,” Deco said this week. “I want to feel fine, and that is not happening at Chelsea. I want to find a club that can bring the joy of playing football back for me. I do not want to stay, I have said that. I have not liked my experience at Chelsea.”

All together now, Peter Kenyon, you’re a wanker! You’re a wanker! Peter Kenyon, you’re a wanker! You’re a wanker!

I've been reading lately when Kenyon offerred Beckam to Madrid, Perez rolled about in laughter, he couldn't believe how cheap we were willing to sell.

Real got a bargain rc7.One of our best players at the time and definitely our biggest attraction at the time to Real for 23 million?Kenyon was already a Chelsea man that summer.Look at the Beckham-Veron sales as well as the Ronaldinho fiasco.

Pete June 13, 2009

Deco would have done better if he had gone to Arsenal with their style of play. He would still be a good buy for someone, maybe in Spain.

Where can I read more bout the 'Ronaldinho Fiasco'.

@TheRedBaron

I don't know if you can find it anywhere. It's 6 years back now but i do remember vividly Ronaldinho edging closer and closer to Manchester United and then one evening we hear that Barcelona had bought him. I think that PSG were fed up with out approach believing that we were trying to tap him.Of course, this wouldn't be the first time that Kenyon would try to tap a player.I think they sold him to Barcelona out of spite.That's my recollection from the events 6 years later.I could be wrong.

@ Costas

i've heard he wanted to cut the price. Ronaldinho agreed to come to us and then came Barca and the history was made.

Good memoty Corea. He did want to cut the price.I think PSG wanted 30 or 32 million and we wouldn't go over 27.

He wanted to cut the price down. But he wanted it after the initial agreement was made. And then happened what you've told.
And the rest is history.
But if we had him we could have never had Ronaldo.
So many ifs.

Kenyon is a slimy cunt. Can someone find that picture of him standing in the Moscow rain picking up the runners-up shield. Priceless.

Anon June 13, 2009

look at Dinho now. We could have him for eleven.
Still would be a nice midfield enforcer, though i wouldn't let him near Fergies wine cellar.

@ Anon

i would say YES, but it won't happen.

I would not class Ronaldinho as a "midfield enforcer"?

Tom June 13, 2009

Didn't we also nearly sign Robben ages ago, but Kenyon fucked it up in a similar manner to Ronaldinho's transfer? I seem to remember he was shown around Old Trafford, and had agreed to join us, but Kenyon pissed off PSV after verbally agreeing a price, before offering a few million quid less? And then PSV sold him to chelsea instead? Might've been for the best in retrospect though

Ronaldinho is an old school number 10, who plays on the left in modern football. If he came to United in 03,he would have played behind Ruud. What could have been!

Scott the Red June 13, 2009

Yup - the exact same thing did happen with Robben, then he took the deal to Chelsea with him. Cunt.

Robben is a great player but a cheating twat and made out of glass.

I think he did us a favor with Robben in the end. And i really hope we are not serious about him now.

Was Kenyon at fault for the Mikel debacle?

ROJO RED ROT ROUGE June 13, 2009

Could we get Gattusso ?

smithy99 June 13, 2009

Peter Kenyon.....The thought of that bloke makes my shit itch. What a wanker.

ossso June 14, 2009

TonyBee June 14, 2009

I've heard it said that Kenyon is sometimes found up to the bollocks in Drogba's arse......
