errr... no. plenty of others you could have named, but not rio. 30m for one of the worlds best centre backs with years ahead of him, not a bad piece of business at all. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Tbf, given that the transfer market was collapsing, and that Leeds were financially screwed at the time, we paid at least £5m over the odds for Rio. Nesta and Cannavaro moved for about £33m combined, that same summer.

Striker Wayne Rooney said he was "gobsmacked" to be sent off for a stamp on Ricardo Carvalho in England's World Cup quarter-final against Portugal.

And he insisted he was not angry with Cristiano Ronaldo, who appeared to encourage the referee to send him off.

"I want to say absolutely categorically that I did not intentionally put my foot down on Carvalho," said Rooney.

The 20-year-old added: "I bear no ill feeling to Cristiano but am disappointed he chose to get involved." </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

A snippet from Wayne's first interview since Saturday. Appears to back up Ronnie's comments.

We arent signing anyone as we have no money

DEAL WITH IT

[Saha]

Dead Man's Party it is.

Speaking of pills, shouldn't you be taking your arthritis pills right about now Mark?

[ACou2000]

Actually cannot BELIEVE we're spending transfer funds on goalkeepers. ffs

[Daaaaave]

Any money available could be used to finance a move for any one of a host of stars expected to seek an escape route from Juventus who were relegated to Serie B for their part in the Italian match-fixing scandal. "We held things back until we knew what the Juve situation was," Ferguson told the BBC. "Now we know where we're going in terms of making inquiries and maybe definite offers for one or two players." One man who won't feature at Old Trafford this season is Dutch international striker Ruud van Nistelrooy who was due to finalise his 14-million-euro (18 million dollars) transfer to Real Madrid later Tuesday.

how are you going to be able to afford mascherano and carrick tbh? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Will just take Mascherano at the moment. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

what happened to all the theories that abramovich and his cronies arranged the moves for tevez and mascherano and so they basically controlled the contracts? all crap? because that was quite a widely held belief for a lot of people and I don't see chelsea just letting you take a player of his quality if they have any control over the matter.

[CM GOD 69]

Anything over £13 million is great money for us.

The most disliked person who has ever wrote on this thread is back I cba going on about Glazer's all over again but here are some of the answers to the previous questions.

- Dad dislikes Glazers but isn't a protester or anything like that.

- I went to final in '99 (I were 7)

- I hardly own any United shirts and don't do all that other crap like buy a coke and take photos. (I thought that comment were pretty funny)

Im not on for long so if you are planning on slagging me off, do it quick! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Not saying you are a liar but if every red who told me they were there in '99 had actually been there I imagine there would have been about 300,000 inside the stadium. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Quite true, in Febuary of that year had a choice between Inter away in Q/F or leave it and see if we got to the final, and being incredibley niave I choose the first option.

[ACou2000]

A win is a win. And it's all that matters really.

Lack of standout performances today.

oh yeah, Richardson came on and basically had 3 touches.

One successful pass 5 yards sideways.

One ridiculously hopeful shot from 35 yards that flew well wide.

One pass to a Charlton player.

SO USEFUL

in other, slightly worrying news, Magnus Wolff Eikrem (our 16yo Norwegian midfielder, the one Ole recommended) has been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes :/

hopefully something he'll be able to adapt to and cope with, he's very very promising but very lightweight and this might well set him back a bit. he's been compared to Scholesy a bit - both small and relatively lightweight but with great technique and ability, and now both with an ailment </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Diabetes is easy to control. My brother has both type 1 and type 2 diabetes and he's able to live with that. Magnus will just need to keep a track on his blood sugar which is not that hard, just a ***** of the finger occasionally. Also because he's active and relatively fit he'll find it easier than others to keep on top of it.
