Jad123 Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 Sky Sports 18/7/06 Gentian Berisha has signed for Manchester United today from Middlesborough in a 9.5 m deal. The 17 year old central midfielder penned a 15,000 a week deal. The United fans are becoming increasingly unnerved that the club is spending great deals of money for mere youngster. But the manager, Jarrod Birch is adamant that it is money well spent on the Albanian. " He is a good box-to-box player and I am sure he will become a potential replacement for the legendary Roy Keane.", said Birch. Keane, himself is currently scouring the transfer market to improve his Sunderland squad..... 20/7/06 Double Transfer Boost for Man Utd Man Utd wrapped up a double deal for Ryan Thompson and Ian McAteer today. Ryan Thompson arrived from Watford for a fee of 1.9m and Ian McAteer from Charlton for 650k. Ryan Thompson is an American right-sided player and has apparently been tracked by Birch for a few weeks. McAteer is a exciting talent who has been attracting lots of attention. Birch pipped Arsenal and Chelsea to the 15 year old's signature and will no doubt will be overjoyed with this signing. Sky Sports 29/7/06 Brazilian Goalkeeper Maciel joined the long list of transfers into Old Trafford after the club used its first option with Fluminese to purchase the promising young player. After Fluminese accepted a 1k bid from Cruzeiro, the first option clause was activated and when Manchester United matched the Cruzeiro bid, they HAD to be accepted. Maciel couldn't resist the chance of a lifetime at Manchester United and he agreed a 1,200 a week deal. SUNSPORT 16/8/06 Yesterday, the day after Jarrod Birch's birthday, United completed yet another transfer of a youngster, Richard Pawlak, an Englishman bizarrely playing in Argentina for Diego Maradona's former club, Argentinos. Pawlak struck a strong resemblence to Ryan Giggs and this may have played a part in his signing. He is a strong,quick and skilful winger but may have to wait as he has a few players ahead of him in the pecking order.After the signing Birch declared, " I am now happy with my squad, we have some good young players who are determined to win the fans some trophies and therefore, this will be our last signing of the summer.

Jad123 Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 Birch's young guns somewhat unlucky in Charity Shield loss Birch surprised a few of the spectators by fielding a young side with an average of just under 20 years old. Starting Line-ups: Chelsea: Roger Nerdal Stanislav Kamornikov Ersen Hakan Stephen Barnett Andrew Allison © Martin Watson Chris Smith Abdul Razak Issah Lee Lancaster Andrey Shyryaev Jeremy Constantine Manchester United: Fernando Molina Fabio Hans Mayer Mark Law Lima Ryan Thompson Adam Zawadski Kobi Weitzman Dragan Jankovic Kevin Toure Jack Martin Chelsea slightly dominated the first 15 minutes of this match but when Jankovic won the ball off Jeremy Constantine outside the United box, he played it out wide to Lima who searched for Kevin Toure with a lofted ball with his left foot. Kevin Toure showed his good ball control to bring the cross down and fire the ball past Nerdal in the Chelsea goal. The Chelsea players had a right to feel hard done by after their dominance but that didn't bother United! Chelsea came close when Issah shot just wide of Molina's left post in the 21st minute. And then when a free header from Constantine skimmmed the bar, the worried Man Utd players looked at each other, relieved. Their luck didn't last long though because Constantine was granted another chance by the United defenders and this time he made no mistake of thrashing the ball into the net. A minute later while the Manchester United players were still trying to recover, Constantine made the most of a blunder by the goalkeeper and passed the ball into an empty net with Molina left sprawling on the floor. After the double blow United could never get back into control in the match and not even an encouraging team talk at half time by their manager could lift them. Jarrod Birch was upbeat however, " We know where we made our mistakes and I hope the players will learn from them." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
