You'd be very, very lucky to get all three players for £25m.
Nolan, seeing as he is English, will cost at least £15m.
Huntelaar about £12-15m
Sneijder about the same price imo
Ribery will definitely cost around £15m.
I don't want Ribery or Nolan. Sneijder and Huntelaar for £25m would suit me nicely, they are both young and have the ability to become World Class players. I would put Sneijder as one of the few players who could sort of fill the role which Scholes will vacate.

As you have noticed I mentioned 3 Dutch guys. It's nothing racist
I don't see how that could be deemed racist. :laugh:
Huntelaar and Sneijder would be excellent signings, but whether they should be our top priority is another matter. First and foremost we need a left winger (and to get rid of that Richardson shite), and a right back. Trouble is there aren't many good right backs available at the moment. After that, we need a young cheap defensive mid with bags of potential.
As long as you don't go for Dani Alves, I'll be happy.
There is a severe lack of good young right backs at the moment with Dani Alves being the only "available" one at the moment. Lahm could fall into the category but he would cost a fortune and Bayern don't really seem to want to sell to us at the minute. Bardsley has been doing quite well for Villa but he would need to improve greatly to be a first teamer.
I would like to see Antonio Puerta come from Sevilla to fill the left midfield role, he is young and according to Sevilla is available for £6m. He has a great work rate and can fill in at left back if needed, he is unproven but from what I have seen he is a good prospect.

Or as long as they don't go for Ribery, I'll be happy.
I doubt we would go for Alves, there are many clubs interested in him and he would cost atleast £15 million and we are apparently spending most of it on Hargreaves :realmad:
Getting a striker has to be our number one priority, we need a 20+ goal scorer. We also need a cheap DMF, Mavuba comes to mind.
Sneijder would be a perfect replacement for Scholes, his goal scoring abilities are amazing, he has amazing technique. I'll be suprised if he will be at Ajax next season.

Agree with you but I don't think we'll get Hargreaves. Concerning the left midfield Puerta, Ribery or Nani would be really good, especially Puerta cuz it seems he'll come cheap.
For right back there's a 22 year old guy from Sevilla, name's Adriano. He's a right back but can play well on the left too. He's a great player.
And concerning Lahm are you guys sure he's a right back cuz I know his right foot is stronger but he plays on the left side right?
Guillermo

He is primarily a right back but is forced to play on the left side for Munich and Germany because of Sagnol and Friedrich. I love Lahm's attacking style and pace, but I'm sure he'd be suspect in defence up against world class wingers. If he were available (which I'm certain he isn't) I'd take him without question.
Two double swoops on the cards? Puerta and Adriano, Huntelaar and Sneijder? :ninja:
More realistically though, it'll be just Hargreaves. :crymore:

I prefer Carrick. And me too Haribo I'd love to see Puerta/Ribery, Adriano/Lahm(thanks for telling me he's a right back), Sneijder/Mavuba, Huntelaar.
Think we'll get them all for 40 mil. pounds.(shopping spree la blues!!!) basing me on the prices that Viperized told me they'll propably be available.
P.S: / = or.
Carrick is better than Hargreaves, trust me.
I would, he will take the diving heat off of Ronaldo.
Well we could use him to take the diving heat of Robben. Plus he can burn defenders and deliver a killer cross. We must get him!

Hargreaves is a work horse, but Carrick's technique is far superior to Hargreaves. They are different types of players. Hargreaves is a natural defensive midfielder, while Carrick is really a centre midfielder.

I said Carrick is far more superior when it comes to technique. You can have the hardest worker there is, but if he as no idea what to do with the ball when he gets it, then he is not as useful as you thought he would be.

Full article:
Cristiano Ronaldo has signed a new five-year contract with Premiership leaders Manchester United.
The 22-year-old Portuguese winger has ended speculation over his future after being linked with a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona.
"I am delighted. I spoke with Sir Alex Ferguson about my future and everyone knew that I wanted to stay," he said.
"I am very happy at the club and I want to win trophies and hopefully we will do that this season."
United boss Ferguson added: "It is fantastic news, it emphasises the point that Cristiano is happy here and that he is at the right club.
"He has a great relationship with the team, staff and the fans and he will go on to be one of Manchester United's great players."
Ronaldo has been in scintillating form for United this season as they aim to win the treble of the Champions League, the Premiership and the FA Cup.
He is also the favourite to win the PFA Player of the Year award.
Ronaldo joined United from Sporting Lisbon for £12m in August 2003, on a five-year contract which he extended by a further two years in November 2005.
He was strongly linked with a move following the World Cup, where he was involved in controversy with his involvement in Wayne Rooney's sending-off in Portugal's quarter-final win over England.
But Ronaldo has returned to England to lead United's charge on the treble.

If a team came in with a £40m offer for Ronaldo, would you want to see it accepted?
Probably not, it would probably have to be a new World Record bid for me to even think about it.
I look at it like this, over his career he is going to make the club shit loads of money if he keeps playing like this with trophys and he will always keep the crowds coming back. I would love him to stay at the club for his whole career as 10 seasons of what he has done this year would make him a United legend no doubt.
Personally, no. Fergie certainly wouldn't put the funds to good use.
It's not about that, it's about the fact that Ronaldo is worth far more than £40m to our club. I don't really care how much is brought in for him to be honest, I'd hate to see him be sold. He is irreplaceable to our current team, it would be like selling Rooney. No matter how much, I'd hate to see it happen.
Jesús Navas. That is all!
JoeyM is right. I read somewhere that Jesus Navas suffers from anxiety attacks, or something of the sort, when he is away from home.
It's the reason he isn't in the national squad.
He is currently undergoing therapy to sort it out.
Or it could just raise his price tag.
Exactly.
Excellent news about Cristiano. And as Hunter rightly said, he's irreplaceable.

Back to Manchester United talk. Do you guys remember this:
Cristiano Ronaldo has vowed to become the best player in the world
after claiming he has already surpassed Manchester United legend Eric Cantona.
Ronaldo is the latest in a long line of talented No 7s at Old Trafford.
George Best, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona and David Beckham have all worn the shirt with distinction down the years.
Ronaldo is in no doubt he belongs in such illustrious company, and believes he can even top the list.
"My dream is to win the Ballon d'Or and I am working to be the best player in the world," Ronaldo told the News of the World.
"Since I was a kid I have been trying to become the best winger in the world and now I want to go a step farther.
"There is still some way to go but the challenge is there and I am trying. I hope the moment arrives soon.
"After me the best No 7 that I have seen was Eric Cantona. But I am still only 21 and I want to surpass everything I have achieved so far."
Ronaldo also rounded on his critics, branding them jealous after they sharpened their knives following the controversial penalty incident at Middlesbrough.
"The incident against Boro has caused many comments, but it was a valid penalty. I do not dive," added Ronaldo.
"Nor do I search for controversy. But I am a person accustomed to the critics and they are not a problem for me.
"Perhaps the critics are jealous. I do not think I have to change. I am the same person that arrived in England hungry for success."
I think he can become the number one in the world now.:cool:

Because Flamini is young and is a good player who given his chances can become a great player.

I was never going to say this but you made me do it. You just know that a Portsmouth player will never be of the calibre of Cristiano Ronaldo. In fact, you are just jealous that no one in your team will ever be as good as Eric Cantona, Cristiano Ronaldo or George Best.
Sorry, just saw this. I lol'd, I mean I lol'd harder than a loler that lol'd a lot.
First off, jealous? I don't have any ideas of grandure, I know we will never be as good as a team like you, not for a good 15 years at least if it was ever going to happen. That is possibly the most idiotic statement I've ever heard. The only teams that might believe that they are better than Man Utd will be Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, West Ham and Leeds. The latter are only there because their fans are cunts. (No offence Dave).
My original comment was about Christiano saying he was better than Cantona, that is just idiotic, he is in a purple patch. Yes a very good one that might stay longer than a couple of years. Personally Cantona is one of top three players to ever grace this league.
Thirdly;
1-0
2-0
2-1

Rio Ferdinand feels he will only miss one match after hurting his groin in Manchester United's FA Cup semi-final win over Watford.
The defender was forced out of the 4-1 triumph at Villa Park towards the end of the first half and will undergo a scan on the injury on Sunday.
He expects to sit out Tuesday's Premiership game with Sheffield United, but is optimistic about being fit for next weekend's fixture with Middlesbrough.
"I don't know about Tuesday, but think I should be all right for Saturday," said Ferdinand.
There's news about Rio. I think the best we can hope for Vidic's return is the second leg in Milan.

15-04-2007, 23:20
I'm sure I read about Fergie supposedly being interested in signing Mathieu Flamini recently, and he's more than welcome to him. He's been saying he'd like a move to Italy, and Inter and Juve are his favoured clubs. :laugh: Maybe if they're after a long distance runner with minimal football ability they'll give you a call, Mathieu.
Alex Song probably has more potential, and that tells you all you need to know. He's the definition of average.
Lets just say if either Senderos or Flamini come then Ferguson is losing the plot, both players are average at best and hopefully will never enter Old Trafford as a United player.
Scarface
15-04-2007, 23:30
Senderos is a talented young centre back, but isn't suited to the Premiership. He's very accomplished in Europe for us, but is caught out by the pace of the Premiership, and appears much more suited to La Liga or Serie A, where I believe he can fulfill his potential and become a top class defender.
I think La Liga would be his best bet as whenever he comes up against a big physical striker like Drogba then he always seems to get beaten easily, although saying that he isn't the quickest either so some of the Spanish players like Eto'o or Villa could tear him apart. Personally I don't think he will ever do that well and will probably end up playing for a UEFA Cup team at best.

A lot of major European clubs were interested in signing him before he signed for Arsenal, including Bayern Munich, AC Milan, AS Roma and all the top English clubs. I wouldn't be surprised if one of them came in for him, as some of his performances in the Champions League have been top class. In Premiership terms, I have more confidence in Johan Djourou.
On a related note, Gerard Pique looks like a brilliant prospect. I've seen quite a lot of his performances for Zaragoza this season, and each time i've been impressed. Great composure and confidence for such a young defender. He has a big future.
I have seen Pique a bit for Zaragoza and him and Milito look like a great partnership, hopefully he will want to come back to Man Utd and not want to go to Spain. He is probably the brightest prospect we have out on loan although I have been hearing Jonny Evans is doing well for Sunderland but playing well in the Championship doesn't compare to La Liga.

I wonder whether Pique will ever come back to you if I'm honest. Can't see him playing for a good few years.
Man Utd's defenders are all performing at the moment, it's easier for them to shine in an already bright room. Maybe when the going gets tougher Pique gets a chance.

Although he has had an history of struggles against Drogba, he was pretty solid at Stamford Bridge. Also, Senderos was very good against Man United at the Emirates stadium.
I'm happy with Senderos as our third choice centre-back. He is still young and can improve, despite being fairly inconsistent.

Old Trafford really is a nice stadium, but the Quadrants do ruin it a bit I think. There is far too much concrete showing for it to blend in with the other sections of the ground. I'm sure I've seen a big screen at Old Trafford before, I think they may just bring it out for non-football related nights. You didn't see the Blackburn goal ? Where were you sat mate ? Every view is quite great apart from the T3 of the North Stand I can imagine.
I've also heard rumours that a minority of Chelsea fans tore the place apart. Spray painting and ripping seats out of their places, this would be all easily fixed but it's rather stupid of them if true.

I sat in the North Stand tier 1. It was a great view but my view was blocked by a few of the players so I couldnt really see if the ball got deflected.
I didnt see any trouble at all but Im sure it probably did happen. Although the attendance was pretty poor for a semi final it had a good atmosphere. Havent really seen a better one from Chelsea fans this season apart from the 3-3 draw with the yids. Enjoyed my time up there and will hopefully be travelling back up to see us in the league next year. Only downside is the drive there

AC Milan goalkeeper Dida could miss the first leg of their Champions League semi-final against Manchester United on 24 April because of a shoulder injury.
The Brazilian sustained the injury when he collided with the post during a Serie A match at Messina.
"We're worried," Milan doctor Jean Pierre Meersseman told the Gazzetta dello Sport.
"We want to get a better understanding of the situation but we can't yet because Dida's shoulder is swollen."
Dida was making a save during Milan's 3-1 win when the incident happened but played on and did not start to feel pain until after the match.
Meersseman added that a shoulder injury like Dida's normally requires eight to 10 days to heal - which would make the 33-year-old a major doubt for the match at Old Trafford.
"Naturally, the goal is Manchester but there's not much hope," added Meersseman.
"On Thursday, if the swelling has gone down we will carry out more tests."
The return leg is on 2 May.
Is that even a good thing? :ninja:

Yeah it is. But what is worrying me the most are the games against Chelski, City and Everton(think all the games are away, not too sure about the Everton one though) They are where we can lose points as Everton want maximum points to be able to compete in Europe next season. As for the other two you know why.
I Won't Leave Atletico Madrid For Champions League - Torres
Atletico Madrid skipper Fernando Torres insists he is focused on placing the club amongst Europe's elite, as opposed to the easy option of leaving for a bigger club.
The forward has been linked with big-money moves to Barcelona, Milan, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United, but has chosen to focus on the Colchoneros.
"I have not lost faith, us Atletico people never lose it," he told AS. "I don't think about leaving.
"There have been seasons in which things have not gone well, and you just want your holidays to start so you can forget everything, and hope you return and things are better.
"The important thing is where you feel good, and to win things you need to feel that.
"It can be difficult to find that feeling and, a team like that, but I am convinced I will win titles here."
The 23-year-old believes that Atletico could be a regular Champions League team in five years, and would rather be a part of that than play in the competition with someone else.
"When I am 28 I will have played in the Champions League and I will have done it with Atletico," he declared. "I only think about being here.
"I am not obsessed about winning things, and I am not going to leave to win titles or to play in Europe, as I want to do that with Atletico because this is the club I feel for."
:D :D :D, I'm glad he's not coming.
I do admire his loyalty to Atletico Madrid, shame there are not a lot players like that.
Yeah it's a shame, it would be good if a certain player in United was like that concerning money. And according to the daily-mirror we might bid for Gamst Pedersen for 8 mill. :):):) and we are looking to sign Ribery, they say Arsenal and Chelsea are also interested.

Good result tonight no matter how much of a snorefest the game was.
Didn't see the game as I was at football, I was warming up and my mate came over and told me we were 1-0 down with Rooney sent off. What a bastard.

Solskjaer reveals retirement plan
Manchester United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he is likely to retire at the end of next season.
The 34-year-old intends to see out his current contract with United, which runs until June 2008.
But when asked if he could see a future beyond next season, Solskjaer told Norwegian newspaper VG: "No.
"I'll most likely stay at United. I've one year left on my contract and I'm aiming to do as well as possible to carry on."
He added: "I'll have to see how I feel. I could suddenly say enough is enough, but I'll stay here next year in any case."
Solskjaer, who is in his 11th season at Old Trafford, became a fans' hero when he scored a dramatic late winner to seal United's European Cup final win over Bayern Munich in 1999.
The Norwegian spent the best part of three seasons on the sidelines as he battled knee problems.
Despite fears that he would be forced to retire, Solskjaer returned to full fitness in July last year and has made 27 appearances for United this season.
"I'm almost certain I'll be better next season. Then I'll have this season behind me after two or three years out," he said.
"I'll be able to play at a higher level."
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/6572993.stm
It sounds about right to me, he has got a few goals this season and could probably play for another season. It'll be an emotional retirement. :crymore:

Also, Sir Alex Ferguson has been handed a major boost as he seeks the second treble success of his glittering career with news that central defender Nemanja Vidic could be fit for the FA Cup and a potential Champions League Final in May.
The Serbian international is recovering ahead of schedule after suffering a dislocated shoulder against Blackburn recently and club medical staff are confident he will be ready and match fit for the FA Cup Final against Chelsea on May 19 and the Champions League Final in Athens four days later, should United beat AC Milan to get there.

Injury-hit Manchester United could be boosted by the return of Nemanja Vidic before the end of the season.
Vidic, 25, broke his collarbone in United's 4-1 win against Blackburn in March and was ruled out for five weeks.
Boss Sir Alex Ferguson said: "Vidic is coming along very, very well, and he starts training on Monday.
"He's been doing some work in the gym but on Monday he'll start some serious work and hopefully he might possibly be available for the latter games."
Ferguson also hopes several others will return before the end of the campaign as United chase a second Treble.
"Gary Neville is progressing quite well, there's a chance he'll be ready for Everton.
"We'll make a decision on Ji-sung Park next week.
"We've seen the specialist and hopefully we can get an opinion on what the next stage should be.
"Louis Saha is continuing his progress with the physios, but I don't think he'll be fit for this week."
United do have Rio Ferdinand, John O'Shea and Patrice Evra fit after minor injuries.
Come on Gaz, was expecting you back for Tuesday. :no:
Moyes sues former protege Wayne Rooney :laugh:

Yeah it will be really sad when Ole retire's. He has been an amazing player, and that's an understatement. His finishing is immense, always has been. One of United's biggest legends - No doubt.
Ehhhh.. what? :no:
AgentZero
21-04-2007, 08:42
hes an instant legend for a few things....the four goals sub and the man who scored the winner
Ehhhh.. what? :no:Don't worry mate when people rate Rio Ferdinand higher than Paul McGrath on here it's what you come to expect.

Ehhhh.. what? :no:
Ole did score the score that helped win United the CL, so I guess he may be seen as a legend in the eyes of Utd fans, and considering he has stayed in the club for a good number of years.

would they be excused if they have never got the chance to see Paul McGrath?
would they be excused if they have never got the chance to see Paul McGrath?No because then they would be in no position to say Ferdinand was better.
Oh dear God, pretty strong line-up considering the injuries. I'm sure Giggs will be bought on at half time as usually when Richardson plays we won't score. I hate the evening games against Boro, we had one last season and lost 4-1.

I'm not debating that, but "one of United's biggest legends - No doubt" when there's they've boasted the likes of Charlton, Best etc.
We all know Ole was/is a quality player, but he was never world-class.
Richardson starts :D

Richardson is God! :w00t That's one thing he has done in the Premiership.

Don't worry, you're just one Cristiano dive, followed by a penalty away from victory.

I hope so. It's a shame we don't have Drogba to lay on the ground about 17 times to run the clock down ;)
Why must Redknapp always be there for United games? An ex Scouser who rims Chelsea because of Fatty Lampard? Tell you what, bring Phil Thompson and Alan Hansen on while they're at it!

Meh, you've got Andy Gray literally having a wank over United whilst commentating so I guess that evens it up slightly.
I hope so. It's a shame we don't have Drogba to lay on the ground about 17 times to run the clock down ;)
Well...um...Drogba suffers from arthritis, so it is not his fault :ninja:
But seriously, you will win this game. If you are in the same situation at half time against Everton or City, then I'll be much ore happier.
Don't worry I'm switching off now, we should win.
got to go get a haircut dammit, gonna miss 2nd half, good luck man u... not, i hope rio is out for milan game.haha
What the fuck Viduka! Finish that!
Top Gun, put your T.V. back on!

This will be where we lose the title.
We'll push for the winner and concede on the counter.
The pressure will eventually tell. When Boro have the ball, they do not get it to Viduka or Yakunu enough. So you will score.

Just one of those days. Just means we can't lose at Chelsea.

Squeaky bum time. Mark the shark is mint.
1-1
Really disappointing performance today. The Boro keeper didnt make one save in the second half.
vanNistelrooy
21-04-2007, 19:16
He didn't make one save IN THE GAME!
Just realised that.
Giggs was poor today, his passing was all over place. I'm worried about Milan on Tuesday, they can easily punish our defence.

Never had you down as such a pessimist. Woody had them in his pocket. :w00t
Should of been a pen aswell, very clumsy tackle by O'Shite.
One could argue, that if Alex brought Rio of straight away, then the Viduka goal would not have happened.

There goes the league.
We just can't deal with the injuries, Chelsea were lucky to get theirs out of the way before Christmas. What can you do when your entire back four are out injured? (Neville/Ferdinand/Vidic/Evra)
vanNistelrooy
21-04-2007, 19:28
Nothing, simple as.
Wasn't a penalty, O'Shea won the ball.

This was probably the easiest looking game of our remaining fixtures. How we'll be able to beat Everton, City and get something out of the Chelsea game is beyond me. Especially with the defence as limited as it is.

21-04-2007, 19:34
Well who knows what will happen. We could end up with sweet FA and Chelsea the title, or still get the treble.
I hope we'll hold on to the league (though Chelsea are a fucking machine). I'd be happy to just win that...
... ... or something ...
Still in a good position.. just not AS good.
Lets hope our defence ALL! come back soon. Chelsea have still to play us and Arsenal. I never thought I'd hope the gunners would start to play better... still I fancy they can grab a point or a win.

If we win fuck all, we've still done amazing to do as well as we have with the small squad we've got.
Even if Chelski do win it, at least it was more exciting this year, and not a stroll for the one team?

No you haven't. If you don't win it then you have not been good enough to win it and Chelski despite a very bad injury crisis have won their third title in a row and I would say the only one that would actually be worthy of recognition.
vanNistelrooy
21-04-2007, 19:55
The same Chelski that have had enough money that when they do get an injury they've got a quality player as back up?
Unfortunately our owners are more interested in making money, not splashing it about left, right and centre. So we'll have backup players like Fletcher, Richardson and O'Shea for a few more years to come.

Really poor insult that "Yeah well you just go and wank over the programme you bought when you were in Istanbul, you know the one that night from when your side won their fifth European Cup and you were there, while I was home wondering what nobend Steve Bruce was going to spunk our money away on next."
