They can have him. Seriously. He has never been very good - I fear that has simply been exposed of late. Which is different to a normal dip in form which most players get over.
 
Rio's agent blames form woes on fitness issues

Pini Zahavi - friend, mentor and agent to Rio Ferdinand - has revealed to ESPN Soccernet the real reasons behind the problems confronting the Manchester United star.

Zahavi explained how a series of injuries have been been responsible for the run of bad form that has struck down the defender.

The England international's long-time agent gave a rare interview to ESPN Soccernet to clear up the recent avalanche of speculation that Ferdinand is past his sell-by date and should be axed by club and country.

The reclusive Israeli super agent Zahavi told me: "All the speculation about Rio's ability is totally incorrect. Rio will be back to his best when he has finally cleared up a succession of injuries.

"He has had a lot of bad luck with injuries this season. He has had about four injuries, and because of his desire to do well for Manchester United he will turn out even if he is not 100%, and for him that has been a big mistake, because it has affected his form.

"But don't worry, Rio is the same player, with the same abilities, and he will show it the minute he is back fully fit again.

"At the moment he has a calf injury and that is the reason he will be missing from the Manchester Untied team, not because he has been dropped. Both Rio and [Nemanja] Vidic have injuries and it is a difficult time for United."

Sir Alex Ferguson and Fabio Capello will, though, be well aware of the problems that have been mounting up for Ferdinand, and that is why they have no doubts about the England centre-half eventually returning to his formidable best.

Friday's newspapers linked Ferdinand with a move to Spurs, where his old West Ham manager Harry Redknapp is showing willingness to "rescue" Rio. But Zahavi dismisses any need for anyone to rescue Rio, who turns 31 on November 7, from Old Trafford.

Zahavi told me: "I don't know anything about any move to Spurs in the summer, I have never heard of it."

As Zahavi knows most big deals in world football, as one of the best informed agents in the game, if he hasn't heard of a move to Spurs then no one has.

And, of course, if Ferdinand is involved in any transfer than Zahavi would be at the hub of it, as he has been in both of the £30 million defender's big money moves.

Screw Ferdinand - he was never worth the money spent on him anyway.
He really never appealed to me.
Always seems more lost than at home in the back line.

If his not fit - he shouldn't be playing.
So has he been lying to SAF and conning the medical teams?
STFU Rio!

Quite. There are a number of options to fill his position - they can't do a much worse job right now...

Good.

:p Shame, didn't have a bad game.. Obertan should've scored on debut. Owen also had a good chance. Both Rooney and Berba's goal were pure class. Anderson ran the midfield like a pro, with Carrick putting in a good shift. Wasn't too impressed with some of Rooney's passing though :confused:

I thought Brown & Evans bossed their territory very well.




















Still can't get over the 'Pool result :D

Can't agree with Nani or Anderson. Both extremely poor for me. As for Carrick :eek:

All ball from deep came through Anderson, distribution was very good + he allowed both O'Shea - and more importantly - Evra to get up the wings. Solid on defence, and so was Carrick, he out in some good tackles to win the ball and regain possession.
 
Nani was utter schit. Let me put it this way, if Evra wasn't in the team - the left flank would be among the poorest in the entire league. Now I only watched the second half, but I saw the same stuff... Nani sucking, and Evra owning. HE is WORLDCLASS people. Too bad Cole is better :p
 
Evra > * k thanks :D

Nani < * k thanks!

Anderson played much better... combo of Carrick and anderson is looking better than Scholes Carrick...

I think if Scholes plays he needs Fletcher not Carrick... if Carrick Plays then Anderson must be paired with him...
