Young Jimlad Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Others… As far as other transfers go I made my case for Riquelme a while back in the other thread but I’d have no problem with him or Carrick. I only have a problem with the price we’re being quoted for Carrick. I read today that it’s gone up to like £18mill and if that’s the case then we need to be sensible and walk away. There are other options, as noted above, as well as actually within the squad for the ball playing midfielder. Rotating Scholes, Giggs and David Jones would be an option for a season if we didn’t attract Riquelme, Carrick or someone like Juninho from Lyon. Of a greater priority is the workhorse midfielder. Fletch will mature into a good all-rounder I’m sure of it, but O’Shea should be moved on once a viable signing is made for his own good and Smudger should be returned to the forward line set-up when he returns from injury. For this role, like pretty much everyone else I’d quite happily sign one player this summer (assuming RvN and Ronaldo don’t go) and have that player be Javier Mascherano. I think that other names touted such as Diarra (lined up for elsewhere I think), Cambiasso (too valuable to Inter), Hargreaves (see Cambiasso but for Bayern) and Gattuso (won’t leave Milan unless they are relegated, which won’t happen, points deducted and out of the CL sure but the majority of the squad will stay together), aren’t really viable targets but JM’s age and style of play would suit both us and the Premiership perfectly. Another good all-rounder I’ve been impressed with is Tim Borowski of Werder Bremen. Very, very outside option being Tymochuck of the Ukraine. If Ronaldo goes I’m thinking Joaquin could rekindle some of the magic he showed about 12-18 months ago, Zambrotta would be ideal but is a pipe dream really since I think he’d move to Spain (or Chelsea to play LB), or JSP on the right more regularly and Damien Duff if we could manage to get him, as he is increasingly touted, to leave Chelsea or as mentioned above Nedved. I think Lennon is going to be too pricey for where he’s at and I think that Lyon appear too far ahead as Ribery’s club of choice though I would happily take him now that I’m no longer concerned about his ability to handle the big stage. The open spot in Milan’s front line seems like a tempting one for Ruud if he left despite Bayern’s overtures, and since I think that the Premiership would suit Torres better, if the great Dutchman left and we weren’t able to pick up a bargain price Trezeguet or maybe the other Ronaldo, Torres is probably the best young top striker talent we could get to complement Rooney (which is why I don’t consider Tevez to be viable when we’ve got Rossi as well). And thats it for now... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBB Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 It'll be fine, look what was posted on YOU GUESSED IT! Don't forget, the Glazers promised a kitty of £25 million net per season for transfers when they arrived. In the first season they spent £20.5M on Park, Van der Sar, Vidic and Evra, but received £6M for P Neville & Kleberson, so there's still £10.5 million left over from last season's budget (supposedly). Add the £12M we got for Obi Wan Kenobi Mikel. And the £25 million budget for this season. And the anticipated £25 million we'll get for Ronaldo. Basically the Glazers should be spending £73 million this summer on bringing players in just to match the spending levels they promised when they arrived, not to actually give us anything beyond that. Don't hold your ****ing breath, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pago Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 not sure if this has been posted but martin o'neill reckons fergie will sort ronaldo out. "Sir Alex Ferguson is the best man to sort out any row between Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo - according to former Celtic boss Martin O'Neill. Speculation is mounting that the Portuguese international could be ready to leave Old Trafford amid the furore over his role in Rooney's World Cup dismissal. But, when asked about the issue on BBC Radio 5 Live's Sportsweek programme, O'Neill said: "Do I think the two of them can work together? Absolutely. "But listen, why are you asking me this question? One of the greatest managers of all time should sort that problem out, and I don't think he's had too much difficulty in the past." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACou2000 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 thought our central midfield trio again were great.

Ronaldo drifted in and out of his usual brilliance. Rooney did well given how much of a lone front man he was at times, and Giggs poor movement for most of the game didnt help. Plus his goals wfffffb. Ultimately, just as I thought it would be, a case of scoring more than we concede ..... so we did Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick OGS20 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 one thing that Juni reminded me of last night that i was very conscious of at the start of the season and had kinda forgotten - our progress to the semis has secured our place in the top group of seeds for the CL next season (obviously after some pretty atrocious seasons and with the 01-02 run to the semis dropping off the chart this year we were at risk of dropping into the second pot if we've not put together a decent run). so, erm, yay.

Taz & The Devil Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Redcafe saying Gill was on SSN. The jist was that we are in the market for a striker but we arent desperate. And that we will be selling players because the squad will be too large, especially with some of the loan players coming back. Which is fair enough on the face of things. Evans, Pique and Rossi can easily come back to do a good job for us. If we are looking at selling any of Brown, Heinze, Silvestre, Richardson or Saha then fine. We shouldnt be letting Saha go though if we have no plans to bring in a striker. For me Saha only goes to fund the new signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
