[18] Guardian on Ribery

Thursday, June 22, 2006

'Manchester United and Arsenal have failed in their attempts to persuade Franck Ribéry to become a Premiership player. Alhough the France international wants a transfer from Marseille - who are ardently resisting it - he will not go to England. Instead he will seek to engineer a move to the French champions Lyon, who have been in dispute with Marseille over him. "I wish to stay in France for two or three more seasons," said the 23-year-old. "For the wellbeing of my family and to play at the highest level, Lyon represents the ideal club for that. The challenge they offer me is more than interesting. Lyon is clearly my priority for next season." </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

sorry was just thinking maybe thats why fergie has been so quiet in the market. Also RVN's sale should free up some money to go after the players he really wants. Carrick is way over priced </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Yeah, 60 years might be a long time but... okay, rather than subject everyone to this we'll just have to agree to disagree on everything apart from the Mascherano issue.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> Fergie hails starlet Evans

Stuart Brennan

RISING STAR: Jonathan Evans

RISING STAR: Jonathan Evans

JONNY Evans can return from his season's loan with Royal Antwerp and start to push for a first-team place at Old Trafford.

That was the belief of Reds boss Sir Alex Ferguson, who is convinced the teenage centre-half can be the latest in an illustrious line of Ulstermen to play for the Reds - from Jackie Blanchflower through George Best to Sammy McIlroy and Norman Whiteside.

Ferguson also has high hopes for Eccles lad Danny Simpson and midfielder Lee Martin who, like Evans, have made a big impression during high-profile games in pre-season.

Advertisement your story continues below

Belfast-born Evans, who is 18, has caught the eye most, scoring in a friendly at Celtic and looking mature and sharp in the South Africa tour and last weekend's Amsterdam Tournament. Now he is to head off for a year at United's associate club Royal Antwerp in the Belgian second division.

Ferguson, normally cautious in his praise of up-and-coming talents, said: "Jonny has been here since he was 12 years of age. We have an academy in Belfast which has produced some terrific young players for us, and the scouting system in that part of the country has been very, very good to us.

"Jonny has wonderful composure, temperament, balance and stature and in a year's time he will be absolutely outstanding.

"I think he will play for Northern Ireland in the next year and a half, even though he is only 18. And I am 100 per cent certain he will be a Manchester United player."

Simpson is a year older than Evans, but there is already talk within Old Trafford that he will challenge fellow Salfordian Phil Bardsley for the right to be Gary Neville's natural successor at right back.

Ferguson, speaking at the launch of the Manchester United Premier Cup this week, said: "Danny is a local boy from Salford which has been a great breeding-ground for us over the past few decades. Danny has the potential to be an outstanding player. For a young boy he is a natural defender, with great speed. Our plan is to farm him out to Royal Antwerp along with Jonny."

Martin is a different case - he already had first-team experience with Wimbledon as a 16-year-old before joining United for an initial fee of £200,000 which could rise to £1m depending on his success. Last season he made his United first-team debut in the Carling Cup tie with Barnet.

Now 19, the Somerset lad usually plays up and down the left flank, and is also expected to go out on loan next week, with Rangers first in the queue to sign him.

"We signed Lee from Wimbledon two years ago, and he cost us some money, but we are now seeing why he cost us money.

"He came here for the final year of his schooling and then went into our academy. He will be farmed out this week to another club for six months to give him experience." </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I believe I can be as good a centre-forward as I want to be." </div></BLOCKQUOTE> </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Mate, being a moron doesn't = spicing this place up </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

now why am i being a moron?

because i give my honest opinion and dont give a damn about what you think about it icon_mad.gif

how many of you were in favor of smith moving from leeds to our great club ? not many i would think and ? now

so for all i care you can go and get a **** </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

We didn't want Smith because he was Leeds through and through and we didnt know whether his blood and guts performances were because of his love for the club or his natural game. He was a talented player, who, despite hating, we had a grudging respect for.

I was one of the people who didnt want him, however, i and most of the others who were against it at the time all said the same thing, if he can put in the performances for us, that he could for Leeds then he'd be a good buy. He did, thats why we have so easily and readily accepted him.

Barton is crap. He's an overated clogger playing in an overated team for an overated manager. There is no begruding respect for him. There is nothing to his game that would make him a good addition to our club. Anybody who can't see that really should give up on supporting the club because they show themselves to be utterly clueless.

When we did our top 10 United players the top 7 were all different nationalities:

Cantona

Scholes

Keane

Ole

Giggs

Hughes

Schmeichel

and if you took out Robson and Neville who came in next you'd have:

Van Nistelrooy

Kanchelskis

Irwin

Yorke

The 11th nationality would be McClair who came in after Cole, Rooney, Beckham and Bruce.
