Nosteellanpa ketjua vähän ylös..
Mielenkiintoisia aikoja eletään myös Manchesterissä. Eikös Glazer ole luvannut Fergusonille, että rahaa saisi käyttää kesällä 35 milj. en vain muista oliko kyse punnista vai euroista, mutta luulisin että punnista.
Van Nistelrooyn tarina taitaa olla ohi Manchester Unitedissa ja itse ainakin ajattelen, että eiköhän Ruudin ole aika mennä. Saha pääsi jo maalien makuun viime kaudella ja jos terveenä pysyy niin eiköhän tahti sen kuin kiihdy ja onhan siellä sitten Italianihme Giuseppe Rossi odottamassa omaa paikkansa.
Lyonin Diarraa ollaan ManU:n huhuiltu ja nelosen Lyon-Milan pelin perusteella kaveri näytti juuri sellaiselta pelaajalta, joka voisi vihdoin ja viimein ottaa sen keskikentän alemman pelaajan roolin haltuunsa. Pelasihan Smith siinä erinomaisesti välillä, mutta ei ole Smithin paikka se ja kun herra on vielä pitkällä toipumislomalla niin varmasti menee aikaa ennen kuin kaveri pääsee täyteen kuntoon. Torresiakin ollaan välillä ManU:n yhdistelty, mutta jos Fernando englantiin tule niin eiköhän se mene niin, että hän pelaa Mourinhon alaisuudessa.
Tässä sitten hieman netistä pomittua materiaalia viime päivistä.
United set to seal deal for boy from Brazil
By James Ducker
MANCHESTER UNITED are close to agreeing a £6 million deal with Cruzeiro for Kerlon Moura Souza, the highly rated Brazilian midfield player who has been dubbed “the next Ronaldinho”. A United delegation flew to South America this week to meet officials from the club and are hopeful of concluding the transfer in the next few days.
United have also inquired about signing Edu Dracena, the 24-year-old Cruzeiro captain and central defender, who missed out only narrowly on a place in Brazil’s squad for the World Cup finals in Germany.
“We are always ready to listen to offers for Kerlon,” Zezé Perrella, the Cruzeiro vice-president, said. “We have had a lot of interest in him and we have been in close contact with an English team, but right now we are not there on the money.”
Kerlon, as he is more commonly known, is understood to have caught the eye of Sir Alex Ferguson, the United manager, while playing for Brazil in the South American Under-17 Championship in Venezuela last year.
The 18-year-old was named player of the tournament after finishing as its top scorer with eight goals, but it was an outrageous piece of skill — which was quickly nicknamed “the seal dribble” — that drew most attention and sparked a media frenzy.
Kerlon’s party piece involves him flicking the ball in the air and running with it as though it is attached to his forehead.“It’s just a skill I have, though it’s not meant to be a mark of disrespect to my opponents,” Kerlon said last year. “Opponents say they will snap me, but this doesn’t scare me, it just motivates me even more.”
Ferguson seems convinced about Kerlon’s talent, although given that he is ineligible for a work permit, the United manager may have no alternative but to loan the player out at first, with Celta Vigo, the Spanish club, believed to be one of several interested parties.
Kerlon, who was born in Ipatinga, can play as an attacking midfield player or a deep-lying forward. He has already drawn comparisons with Ronaldinho, the Barcelona and Brazil playmaker, and is a dead-ball expert who won the Campeonato Mineiro, Brazil’s State Championship, with Cruzeiro this season
Berbatov
Berbatov Turned Down United
Richard Bright, Daily Telegraph
Dimitar Berbatov, Tottenham's £10.9 million signing from Bayer Leverkusen, says he rejected an offer from Manchester United after talking to Spurs manager Martin Jol. The 25-year-old Bulgaria striker, who has agreed a four-year deal subject to a work permit, said yesterday: "I can reveal now that I had an offer from Manchester United and everyone knows what it means. But after talking to Martin I decided to choose Spurs. We went to see them against United last month and afterwards I met Martin. It was our first meeting but I realised that he's a very special man."
- Itse en ollut tälläisestä kuullut, mutta ihan hyvä ettei tullut. Omasta mielestäni tuo summa Berbatovista olisi ollut aivan liikaa ja antaa Spursin maksella mielummin sitten tuollaisia summia. En ole koskaan Berbatovin kyvyistä vakuuttunut.
Kuszczak
Staff reporter, Daily Express
Sir Alex Ferguson wants to sign West Brom keeper Tomasz Kuszczak to give Edwin van der Sar competition at United. The £5million-rated Poland star was one of the few players to emerge with credit from West Brom's relegation season.
- Toivottavasti tässä ei ole sitten mitään perää. Howard lähti nyt lainalle Evertoniin ja jos siellä Howard pääsee eroon niistä pienistä virheistä ja saisi sitä peliaikaa niin Van Der Sarin lähdettyä voisi Tim esittää jälleen samanlaisia otteita mitä ensimmäisellä United kaudella. Onhan ManU:lla sitten sen jälkeenkin vielä 3 maalivahti. Ben Foster (23) joka pelaa tällä hetkellä lainalla Watfordissa ja edessä on nousukarsinta peli Leedsiä vastaan ja hyvin Foster on pelannut koko kauden Watfordissa.
Loput maalivahdit ovat Tom Heaton (22) ja Luke Steele (21)
