HOLY SHIT...

kaka, ronaldo, villa (90 percent done)

ffs they will get alonso if they can get kaka and ronaldo!!!

stupid money tbh but ill be glad to see the back of him

they dont need alonso perez has allready said hes given up on him

perez says a lot of things.

madrid are going to be a force to be reckoned with next season

yes but imo they are still lacking in defence

so are barce but look at them

they got the dm in gago/diara. they just need a cm who can work the ball imo and they are fine

pepe is a very good defender

watch madrid suck this year...

I agree. Gago is the most over-rated player ever, diarra is ok but he's no yaya. Real won't win the spanish title or the champs league next season, it will take time to gel.
Gutted to see Ronaldo go but 80m is nice Liverpools net spend is now greater than uniteds too, so benitez can finally shut the fuck up about that. Although i imagine we'll spend 30m of that, probably on Ribery. Not a bad player but no one is good enough to replace Ronaldo.

"At Cristiano's request - who has again expressed his desire to leave" - man utd website

personally i think when you leave man utd, apart from maybe to barca, its a step down.

it would appear ronaldo's ego and greed have driven his decision to leave but i don't get why he would want to leave. i know a lot of spanish, portugesue and south american players have a massive desire to play for real madrid but being honest, they haven't been a good team for a good few years.

i think the only player that man utd should try n sign to fill his place is ribery, but now that every club in the world know that they have £80m in the bank surely if they try n buy any player their price will go up

who do you think will be signed? surely antonio valencia from wigan can't be filling the man utd supporters with an overwhelming cnfidence. pretty sure most man utd fans thought valencia would replace nani

i kinda feel for the manger, pelligrini, he has to manage these egos, as well as having some of the most impatient fans on earth along with a board that don't think twice about sacking a manger, even if they are a success.

As i said above, i think we'll sign Ribery...i just hope we don't get fleeced for his price. Unfortunately you're right though, prices will be driven up for united now.

col, come out mate. what was you saying about ronaldo not wanting to move to madrid...

common now, surely this doesn't need to turn into a 'war of words' between you and col, like almost every other thread on this board

I know...and after claiming united were cracking and were gonna lose another 4games he can hardly talk about bad predictions.

so you think man utd will keep tevez now?

seems like that is a good play for them... hope UTD sign tevez now... a real workhorse that doesnt throw hissy fits...

I really hope we don't. 30million for some one who does nothing but run is a joke. Alan Smith worked harder than Tevez, fact of the matter is that he wasn't good enough. Same with Carlos for me, i just dont think he has the quality to play for us and 30million for some one who works hard is way too much. I would rather let him go and get in Kun Aguero from athletico. For a forward Tevez just doesn't do enough for me. He is a good squad player but again 30million for a squad player? No way.

ive seen tevez run 80 yards in the 85th minute to make a tackle against bolton when they were 3-0 up. puts other players and their lack of effort to shame sometimes. magic player imo. would def want to keep him. i think aguero might go to chelsea

But i see Rooney and alan smith do that too, and Robbie Savage, doesnt mean they are good enough to play for us, although Rooney obviously has the talent as well as the drive. Give me that much money a week and i would do the same. I pray the Kun doesn't go to chelsea i think he's an amazing prospect. I wouldn't mind signing Benzema either, we could get him for the same price as Tevez and i think he is much more effective.

Just checked out his stats this season...29 games - 5goals and 3 assists. 30million?? No chance.

how many starts? i dont think you can judge a player solely on stats though. i do admit that maybe £30m is a bit much considering it aint even a club that owns him but i would def want tevez in my team

benzema is such a good player and considering lyon didnt win the ligue 1 this year, he might wanna leave, but as i said before, teams know how much money man utd have now and lyon could maybe hold out for more than market value

I do see why you would want him. I would have him only as a squad player though, so i wouldn't want to spend more than 15.
But with Campbell going to Hull for 6m and now Ronaldo going we should have a decent amount to spend so it shall hopefully be an interesting summer. I think either Sneijder or Arjen Robben will leave madrid, 2 years ago i would have taken both of those players but im not so sure now.

if arjen robben wasnt so injury prone, i think he would be a great buy

fair enough lol was only meant to be a joke

united should have sold that two faced prick last season. the guy has no loyalty, he used united as a stepping stone imo

i also think they shouldnt sign tevez, they need a top leading striker more than ever now. someone like benzema or villa should be their number 1 priority. bring in a hard working right winger and let rooney play his fav position.

also they need a world class cm/am as united dont have won, they have hard working cm but nobody with that extra bit of class that matches the likes of fabregas, xavi, kaka, iniesta and gerrard

i saw tis on another forum

is it true fergie said these things?

"LIE NO 1 ......RONALDOS GOING NOWHERE ....ITS A PATHETIC QUESTION" - almost every manger will say that a player is going no where until a deal has been done and he said it was pathetic beacuse he had been asked the same question over and over

"LIE NO 2.......THERE WAS NO SECRET DEAL DONE LAST SUMMER 2008 TO GET ONE LAST YEAR OUT OF RONALDO AND THEN LET HIM GO TO REAL MADRID" - the deal was only done when the new real madrid president came in, and that was only a few weeks ago

"LIE NO 3 .....I WOULDNT SELL REALMADRID A VIRUS" - ok, fergie just doesn't like the way real madrid go about their business, saying they are going to sign ronaldo when he is still under contract

"Fergy is also beleived to have said that if Ronaldo went , he would resign from the club . I hope thats one promise he will keep" - he would have resigned if he was sold under his nose but you can bet that fergie sanctioned the ronaldo transfer

Fergie said a secret deal wasn't done...FACT, it wasn't. Perez wasn't even in charge last season. The other 2 were clearly lies, he has to say that though until a deal has been done. Don't you understand football? If he comes out and says he wants to sell and then ronaldo ends up staying for one reason or another then he will look a fool and everyone will know there is trouble in the club.

If you can find a source that proves he last that last bit about him resigning i will surprised. Whether he said it or not you know full well fergie isn't resigning.

i cant which is why i asked here mate. fair enough it seems

now the question is will fergy get to spend the whole fee or will half or most of it go off to paying off the debts of united?

id expect the glazers to use SOME of it for the debts but most should go towards new players no dobut fergie has someone in mind

i think fergie will buy 2 players in the summer. maybe bout £60m.

What i'd love to happen. UTD to buy benzema and Ribery for a combined total of 80 mil. If not Benzema, then Huntelaar (Madrid have said 9 are leaving(he could be 1). Tevez can stay if we can sell Babatov (for 20 mil) and Tevez agrees to being a squad player. If no to any of those two things, Tevez has to go We should also buy Valencia from wigan. Rooney has to play upfront FFS. This is the reason both tevez and baba can't stay if sign benzema or huntelaar.

Capello said of Roooney's recent england scoring form. "The reason he's scoring now is quite simple, I told him to stand infront of the goal".

If Man utd were to addopt such tactics, expect him to get 25 a season or more.

Also need a skillful midfield player. Maybe Van Der Vart? I think Madrid will be looking to offload him.

UTD have to be careful though, they've announced they got 80 million for him and are likely to get fleased themselfs. They should have said they accepted 40 and forced Madrid to say the same, at least until they had bought who they wanted.

My UTD team for next year

Foster

Rafeal,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Vidic,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Ferdinand,,,,,,,,,,,, Evra

Ribery/Valencia,,,,,,Van Der Vart ,,,,,,Anderson/Carrick/Hargreaves,,,,,,Ribery/Valencia

Rooney,,,,,,,,,,,............Benzema or Huntelaar

LOL at whoevere tried telling me ronny wanted to stay. Yeah ofcourse he did.

agreed, rooney needs to be played up top

I think 3, Valencia is pretty much done, Ribery is likely and i think he will buy one more. I would love benzema, and i think he will move to get champs league football.

im waiting fro fergies comments, because im not convinced this is his decision.

But besides that, bad business for united, cud of and shud of got more from madrid, cos lets face it there mugs. £100million for example. and add to tha a few players, VDV for 1. But if we get Villa....or a striker of his status, maybe even RVN at bargain price Ribrary and 1 midfield hardman to give our midfield that strength it lacked a little we will be orite.

still, as i say, lets see what fergie has to say on the matter.

ps, bid for messi haha,

ronnie wanted to stay..........right up until the champions league final i think. seems like a paddy on his part.

VDS/Foster
Raphael Rio Vidic Evra
Ribrary Carrick Anderson/Hardman signing Tosic
Rooney
Berba/Villa or whoever

the general feeling in madrid is ronaldo when he signed a new contract with united had a 96m euro minimum fee clause in his contract put in place with united

You'd get Riberys left side for £30m,people have to remember that Christiano grew up a Madrista.

lets buy torres

You can try but unlike Nancyboy Torres has pride n would tell yous to fuck off.

torres has said no to united 2 years in a row

third time wouldnt be bad i guess

oh how wrong you are.

seeing as your in a worse position than us financially....dont let our larger debt make you think your not, our clubs worth much much more than yours for starters as are all our assets and our income is far bigger, our debts easily managable...if we wer to bid, say 30million+ your club would have little choice but to accept...so yeh, if united wanted torres we could pretty much be sure of getting him..dont kid yourselves with the idea he will never leave liverpool...because unfortunately for you lot, he has already said he will leave if you dont start winning.

ahhhh, now how funny would that be.

united will replace ronaldo, in time....liverpool took a long long time to replace owen when he left...

Chelsea offered us £40m so why in the fuck of fuckerties would we sell to you for £30 ?

city also bid 50m for him and also 40 for gerrard.....

guess what we said no....he wouldnt move to united anyway as he has rejected them time and time again before.

cos when chelsea offered you wernt in the finacial situation you are now, with a 24th of july deadline to raise 350million.....where as now you are....so yeh, thats why you would accept anything above 30million.

funny liverpool fans seem to think that there immune to this transfer business, gerrard would go for the same sort of money b ecause your not in a position to say no if the right offer comes in.....AC Milan and Man utd are both bigger clubs than liverpool and we have had to sell our best 2 players....and kaka was ac milan thru and thru before your bullshit claims of loyalty come into play as per usuall ( YAWN )

im not saying either will be sold but if offers came in...fear the worst.

We were in exactly the same situation,deadline looming and both owners wanting to sell up for silly money and selling your top assets isn't the best way to get the return on the club now is it?

You're like a fart in a spacesuit,comical but annoyingly unpleasant.

Lastest news is that Real will be paying the transfer over 7 years,if that is true then it's lunacy on uniteds part.

I'm loving the United fans on the radio saying they are glad he's gone and Valencia will be more than enough to replace him....Pure comedy gold.

lmao at col

dude you have no idea what you are on about with liverpool. ffs we have to sell our best players??

what are you on man

if they cant refinance for another year then they will sell the club, tell me would someone want to buy liverpool with all their star players or without? THINK about it and hopefully you will see where you have gone wrong

just because madrid TOOK ronaldo from united, it doesnt mean it will happen to pool. a player will only leave if rafa thinks the price is right. alonso will only leave if a insane bid comes in

if man utd have to sell, then be certain liverpool will, your a far smaller club than us.

what if no1 comes in to save your bacon? yep, goodbye torres, goodbye alonso, goodbye gerrard er.....yeh thats your good players in your squad, rest would fetch 30 million combined maybe 40...

so get out of dreamland will ya.

and skamp, please do 'try' to show how we are in the same situation.....because it will be funny to see what you come up with bar the fact both our owners are american.

and real took ronaldo eh....course they did....i mean 80million, bargain they got. we could buy you entire squad for that lets be honest lmao

My last post was saying we are in the same situation now as we were last year,try reading peoples fucking posts as for United and Liverpool being in the same situation,we are all be it you have twice the debt and pay twice the interest,your other United fans seem to agree but then they seem to talk sense,you tried saying the otherday that united had paid off £450m of the debt,in short you aint got a fucking clue.

i have just come in an thought i will jump to the last page and here you are,spouting shit about Madrid "Took" Ronaldo,then in the same breath saying it would take an insane bid to take a `Pool player.


WTF do you think £80mill is......a fucking joke!!!!!

his ego is massive and his heart is not in the club......let him go,we will survive....funnily enough we have in the past.

it will be even funnier when we come above you next year without him though.........get the excuses ready Amar because i WILL be calling for you come May.
