trying to get to the rest of the article but this site seems broken and only showing headlines :/
 
for 40 mil I'll sell ronnie and get someone else...for 40.00001 mil they can have ronnie and fletcher.
 
Villa holds with Chelsea!!! United slip up at St James' was not that bad after all. Come on Liverpool and Arse...Push Chelsea to 4th!
 
wtf is wrong with Jose..Now he says United have blown it..hahaha.

He said before xmas that after the games during the festive season, Chelsea will be on top seeing that Chelsea were to play the 'weaker' teams. From a 2 point gap to a 6 point gap is no easy feat. Well done Jose...good chance at deflecting the issue that ur star studded team can't win without scoring late goals or theatrical dives.

And did you hear him when asked if he was going to spend in the transfer window seeing as his side is " severely weakened by injury". He reckoned he would rather put his assistant, who is 50 years old in at centre half than pay the ridiculous amounts of money people are throwing about on players at the moment.

What next?! So those 300 million that Chelsea spent or players, were what? Not ridiculous?!

Get a life Jose.
 
Jose just cant stand losing and AFAIK Chelsea was the team that drove prices higher. in the market.

Looking forward for the Lars at Villa. Wanna see how it actually performs..it'll give us a glimpse of how well he'll do in the league.

Macclesfield!!! 1 mil pounds for them if they beat chelsea...hmm...
 
Real Madrid must find £47M for Man Utd's Ronaldo
tribalfooball.com - January 05, 2007

Real Madrid are ready to make a stunning £27 million bid for Manchester United wing ace Cristiano Ronaldo.

Neither United nor Real would comment on the report, which also claims that the Reds would want a near-world record of £47m to part company with the player they signed for £12m, says the Manchester Evening News.

But it is understood that Madrid have held an emergency board meeting during their Christmas break, after ending the year with a 3-0 defeat by humble Recreativo de Huelva.

The club's hierarchy wants team rebuilding to start in the January transfer window, and it is believed president Roman Calderon has listed Ronaldo as his top target.

wonder y no one wants drogba?:P
 
Cos drogba's a cheat although he's one of the best strikers in europe and if chelsea sells drogba then they in the sh!ts. Apparently Real's got a 100mil warchest to get their team back to the top.
 
Ferguson hints at double swoop

Sir Alex Ferguson could bring in two new players during the transfer window.


But the Manchester United manager insists he has no intention of raising funds by selling Cristiano Ronaldo.

Bayern Munich's England midfielder Owen Hargreaves is known to be target but Ferguson refuses to go into specifics about possible transfer dealings.

Ferguson explained: 'We may sign someone in January, there may be a couple of signings, who knows? We are looking at some things.

'But we have the squad to handle it (all competitions).'

Portugal winger Ronaldo has again been linked with a move to Real Madrid but Ferguson said: 'There has not been an offer.

'It is not worth talking about anyway. It is not an issue for us.'

Former Barcelona and Celtic striker Henrik Larsson is one new recruit and set to make his debut against Aston Villa in the FA Cup on Sunday after arriving on loan from Helsingborg.

Ferguson is debating whether to partner the Swede with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer up front as Louis Saha is sidelined with a groin strain.

The Old Trafford boss said: 'Both players will be involved - I have to decide whether to start with both or just one of them.

'Like Ole, Henrik is a good finisher. They are both experienced and they can use that knowledge.

'Certainly their positional play in the penalty box is the great strength of both of them.'

Ferguson has been delighted with the way the veteran forward has applied himself since arriving.

'Larsson's performances in training have been very good, ' he said.

'I have been very pleased. He is very sharp.

'He is a man who looks after himself and I have been an admirer of him for many years.

'On two or three occasions I thought I had him. But he was always happy at Celtic and that was a problem for us.

'It was understandable he did not want to move as he was settled there.'

Former West Brom goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak will make his fourth appearance of the season in the third round, replacing Edwin Van der Sar, who is rested.

Ferguson said 'Tomasz has been excellent. In terms of a match situation he has played only three games but his performances in training have been absolutely superb.

'He is dedicated trainer, very quick and brave. He has a future the boy, no question of that.

'It is a good game for him to take part in.

'With European football beckoning next month it is important Tomasz gets a bit of football.

'Edwin has been fantastic but I think he understands we need to give the boy some experience.'

Even though they have crucial Champions League and Premiership fixtures ahead, Ferguson insists they are not taking the FA Cup lightly.

He said: 'It is a competition which creates a special atmosphere, no doubt it, when you look at all the shocks over the years.

'FA Cup history is full of United and Villa teams. We both have great records.

'We are all looking forward to the game and I hope we can get a good run.

'But we know it will not be easy against Villa as they are a very committed team under Martin O'Neill.' end

1. They will never part with Ronaldo, specially the form he is in right now
2. Hrgreaves might have been the best player in the England side at the WC but he is NOT worth 30 million anything!
3. Larrsson should be a great signing. I am keen to see him at Villa
 
Max I'll pay for Owen is around 18 mil. Heard Chelsea might go for Owen as well..if they want to pay 30mil then they can go ahead.

H2k: what if they offered 50mil. Then it gets tempting.

Man Utd sound out Arsenal striker Adebayor
tribalfooball.com - January 06, 2007

Arsenal are ready to hand striker Manu Adebayor a new contract to ward off attention from Manchester United.

The News of the World says Adebayor, who joined Arsenal last January from Monaco for £7million, has been in stunning form this season - and United boss Alex Ferguson has enquired about his availability.
