On Ronaldo i can't believe there is pro-ronaldo people on yesterday antics. I wouldn't have a problem with it if it wasn't a United player he tried to get sent off. The fact is, playing in an international or not, he tried to get one of his own team mates sent off. How can he expect that will be accepted? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

ghahahaha,

where do we get all these idiots from? I thought Keyser was expecting the arrival of his first child.

[Mika]

Heh, I think we all need a bit of a boost right now, not a rumour but something concrete that will help us stabiise/progress.

Former Manchester United and Celtic star Roy Keane is believed to be on the verge of making a sensational return to Old Trafford.

Keane only signed for Celtic from Manchester United in December 2005 but decided to quit last month after receiving medical advice on his hip problem. It’s believed that Keane and Ferguson patched up their differences during a romantic meal after his testimonial game. Keane’s return to United was agreed amidst a drug addled night of celebration in a Berlin brothel after England’s embarrassing capitulation to Portugal.

‘If this time next month my body is holding up and my hip is OK, and the knee, and Sir Alex feels I can still contribute then who knows," said Keane.

Keane joined United from Nottingham Forest for a then British record £3.75m in 1993 but had a long-standing desire to play for Celtic.

He returned to Old Trafford last month for what was expected to be his last appearance - in his testimonial between Celtic and United, watched by almost 70,000 fans.

Good line on Redissue, I'd love to see a journo say this tomorrow (if and when he signs)

'Is Carrick really worth 6 Roy Keanes?'

[BBB]

and the fact they leave early

[Ratinho]

And if i'm being totally objective, the deal you've done here makes sense, after all you could have ended up shelling out £3m+ on him from other reports.

Just a quick question, if we were to sign Hargreaves/Senna/a holding midfielder(I dont think we will sign anyone tbh) who would you play in the middle, would you drop Scholsey or Carrick? Because it would seem a bit daft spending 18mill on someone to sit on the bench </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

We won't

But if we did, I'd probably rotate between Scholes Carrick and Hargs.

Have we actually even spoken to Bayern about Owen ?

[alilaw]

I wouldn't say I'm 'coming round' to the idea of Defoe in a United shirt, but at least he's a pacey striker with movement who'd suit our fluid front line to an extent. And he's arguably a better finisher than Saha.

The major drawbacks I could see are he's about 3ft 4 and so with Rooney in the team as well and Scholes our other player getting forward our good wide play would be essentially useless. And he's a greedy bastard.

[Coldberg]

Thought it would've been Giggs

Yes. He has been very good for Everton but shown nothing that says he could come back here and do as well as VDS.

Howard has had his chance and while good is not first choice material at Old Trafford.

It definitely has the "Wolves 1-0 at home" feel about it.

It'll either be a stable team and 0-0, or he'll put the second string out and we'll win by 3 or 4 like against Everton earlier in the season.

Oh and i am not convinced yet that Heinze would not work as a center defender. However i AM convinced that Heinze without Rio or Vidic by his side IS NOT central quality.

Ferguson hails outstanding Smith

Smith should be fit to face Middlesbrough on Saturday

Alan Smith's comeback from serious injury has been a major factor in Manchester United's treble challenge, according to manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

Smith, 26, has been in impressive form for United since returning from a broken leg suffered 14 months ago.

"He has been absolutely unbelievable," said Ferguson. "His form in the last three games has been outstanding.

"He has brought a freshness and an infectious enthusiasm which is spreading throughout the team."

Smith was a surprise inclusion in the Champions League quarter-final second-leg meeting with Roma on 10 April.

But the former Leeds striker took his chance by scoring in the 7-1 thrashing of the Italian giants.

Smith then followed up that display with good performances in the league victories against Watford and Sheffield United as United kept up their hunt for the treble.

They remain top of the Premiership, are through to the FA Cup final against Chelsea, and will play AC Milan in the Champions League semi-finals.

"When you think of what he has been through, how he has handled it and the way he is approaching his football, he has been first class," said Ferguson.

"I cannot speak more highly of him than that."

Despite three games in a week so soon after his comeback, Ferguson expects Smith to be fit for the Premiership game against Middlesbrough on Saturday. [/b]
