theis Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> Howard probe dropped By David Bond Manchester United's first Premiership title in four years will not be threatened by a Premier League probe into the transfer of goalkeeper Tim Howard to Everton. The League contacted United and Everton officials to ask them why Howard did not play in last week's Premiership game between the two teams at Goodison Park. Howard joined Everton on a season-long loan deal from United last summer, which became permanent in February. Premier League rules on loan deals prevent players from facing their parent clubs but, once the Howard deal became permanent, he was eligible to play against his old team. advertisement The Premier League would not have sanctioned the transfer if United had requested a clause preventing Howard from playing against them. But prior to last week's game, Everton manager David Moyes appeared to suggest there had been a verbal agreement between the clubs over Howard's omission. That alerted the League who feared Everton and United might have been guilty of breaking rule U18, the same regulation relating to third-party interference which West Ham breached in the Javier Mascherano and Carlos Tevez controversy, costing them a record £5.5 million. A heavy fine or points deduction could have been imposed on Everton and United but the League issued a statement yesterday confirming both teams were in the clear after finding no written proof. The statement said: "We sought further clarification from both clubs and are satisfied that there were no agreements that breached any of our rules." </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
player_65 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 here we go already... <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Sir Alex Ferguson has identified three summer transfer targets to bolster his title-winning Manchester United squad. Ferguson maybe still basking in the glory of a ninth Premiership crown but already the Scot's mind has drifted towards next season, when he expects Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal to provide a stiff challenge to the Red Devils newly-reclaimed domestic supremacy. And he has told chief executive David Gill the trio of new faces he believes will give United their best chance of finishing top of the pile again next term. 'We have outlined three targets and David Gill is aware of them,' said Ferguson. 'As everyone knows, there is competition for the best players and when there is competition, it costs, so we will just have to wait and see.' Ferguson refused to go public with the names of the players United will go for but Bayern Munich's Owen Hargreaves will certainly be one, with Tottenham's Dimitar Berbatov also believed to be near the top of his list. While Spurs boss Martin Jol may be unwilling to part with Berbatov 12 months after selling Michael Carrick to United, the blow may be softened by the arrival in return of Louis Saha, whose United days appear to be numbered. If rumours of a Juventus move for Gabriel Heinze prove correct then young Southampton defender Gareth Bale, whom Ferguson targeted during the last transfer window, can also expect to be on the United manager's hit-list. However, in the knowledge that Chelsea are bound to splash the cash this summer in a bid to overhaul his side, Ferguson is keen to do his business quietly. 'Manchester United has always been an attraction,' he said. 'We have 76,000 people watching us every week and have a celebrity status which means we are known throughout the world. 'It is not a question of attracting players. The real competition comes when Chelsea pay £27million for someone like Michael Essien. They can outbid us all. 'We identify players as quietly as we can so we can do things quickly. 'It is not easy, but that is what we are trying to do.' </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saha Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Don't know how I'll feel when Gabby leaves. On one hand, he's a king, but on the other he's been rather ordinary since Evra came. Any feeling will probably be washed away when I hear that we've spent £15m on Bale though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick OGS20 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 yeah, i was gonna comment on this. it'll sound bitter and i'm really not (still giddy as f**k frankly), but it irks me a tad the way not just the BBC but almost all the media outlets seem to be either banging on about Chelsea's brave effort and how incredible it was that they pushed us so far with such a crippling injury list, or going on as if Chelsea lost the title, rather than us winning it. bar one weekend in October, Chelsea have never had first place to lose, it's been us leading the way, us keeping them at bay, even through some pretty horrendous injury problems of our own at THE crucial time of the season. i'll generously assume this is at least partly because of the way the title was confirmed without us playing and, credit where it's due, Chelsea refused to give up right to the last yesterday, but it'd be nice to see that redressed over the next few days. we've been the best side in the country, the best side to watch and we're entirely deserving champions.

Not to mention Saha, he was fantastic for us in the first half of the season, just watch the games back he scored lots of goals and was great. He was a huge miss with a mis-firing Rooney. didnt Giggs miss a month at one point? Scholes had two suspensions to face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
