Manchester United are ready to offer Spurs £15m for Michael Carrick and Atletico Madrid £20m for Fernando Torres. (Sunday Express) -
Simao Sabrosa? I prefer Joaquin if that is possible. Even better, get that Dutch youngster Romeo Castelen. Highly skillful. 20m for Torres not possible. Don't think he will be let go by A.Madrid for just 20m. Maybe can try to get Hargreaves also? I think he's not bad playing that DM role for England.. Wasted lose out on Cicinho deal last time.. Is Evra gonna be any good? In FM he is good. Lets hope he is good.. Man U defence not too bad.. Centre Midfield is a disapointment.. Who you guys think Man U should get for Centre Midfield? Park Ji Sung not too bad..

Heh. I don't understand why Fergies should splash out for big money transfer when the future of the team is slowly emerging.
Take a look at Rossi, Pique, Richardson and Jones.
They are the players for United's future.
Sell Ruud and get Torres.
Let Richardson shine at the left wing.
Cheers.

True.
Maybe if C.Ronaldo really leaving, can swap for Beckham back. Then we will have nice set-piece and beautiful cross again till he retire.
But thats impossible, i'm dreaming

Now everyone wants Simao, It will reach a point where Manu and CHelsea will start a bidding war for him then Chelsea get a deal for him around 21m then Newcastle comes in with a hijacking 28m offer

Rossi signs new Manchester United deal
Manchester United striker Giuseppe Rossi has signed a two-year extension to his contract.
The American-born 19-year-old joined United from Parma two years ago, and has been on the fringes of the first-team set-up at Old Trafford.
He scored twice in a 5-0 defeat of Burton in the FA Cup third-round replay in January, before going on to make his first Premiership start against Charlton in May in the absence of Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was dropped after a fall-out with manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
The new deal means Rossi is tied to the club until June 2010.
Ferguson said: 'We are delighted that he has signed a new contract, he represents the future of the club.
'Last year he had a remarkable season and he is developing all the time. Giuseppe is a fantastic talent and we see a great future ahead.'
Rossi said: 'It is great to have extended my contract with the best team in the world. I just hope to keep progressing and developing my career.'

Unlike Aresenal n Chelsea.
Arsene Wenger is good wif transfer. He kept quiet when dealing with impressive players den when the deal is done, only den will the news be leaked out. Schemming.
Chelsea made alot of noise too but they get wad they wan.
I don't think Man United will sign any players.
I hoped for Ribery and Torres to join.
Cheers.

I prefer milo.
But his performance against the Portugese side wasn't that impressive last nite.
The player that caught my eyes is Maniche.
He can defend, attack n packs power in his long range shot.
If only he can keep his shots down cos he could have actually scored a hat-trick last nite!
Cheers.

Two Premiership clubs - possibly Arsenal and Manchester United - are in the running to sign Ghana hero Stephen Appiah, according to his agent.
The Fenerbahce midfielder, who won many admirers after his impressive displays during the World Cup, is now being linked with a high-profile move away from Turkey, with England's top flight the preferred destination.
The Gunners and United both seem likely options for the former Juventus man, who has turned down chances to join Portsmouth and Middlesbrough in the past, with both clubs desperate for a commanding central midfielder.
But although his agent Frank Trimboli did not reveal which clubs are interested in the £7million-rated 25-year-old, he insisted the main Premiership suitors had both qualified for the Champions League.
"Stephen's performances at the World Cup attracted a lot of interest. There are three or four clubs serious about signing him, but probably only two who have a chance," Trimboli told the Daily Express.
He added: "Stephen wants to play in the Premiership and I'm sure one day he will. He has been in Europe for 10 years and wouldn't have any problem with the English game."

By STEVEN HOWARD
MARCELLO LIPPI is being lined up to join Alex Ferguson at Manchester United.
Italy boss Lippi has told friends he will quit after SundayÂ’s World Cup final.
He is now being linked with a role alongside Old Trafford chief Fergie. And that could see him eventually succeed the Scot.
Fergie is a long-standing friend and huge admirer of the former Juventus manager.
He once said of the Italian: “Just looking into his eyes is enough to tell you he’s in command of himself and his professional domain.”
Ferguson, 64, is expected to relinquish the reins after 20 years in charge at the end of the coming season. Italian sources believe Lippi, 58, could either work in tandem with the United supremo or under him — with Fergie promoted to general manager.
A source close to Lippi said: “He is not looking for a lucrative contract since he has achieved success at the highest level. And working abroad is the only thing that interests him.
“He will not find it diminishing to work either alongside or under another manager.” -
Manchester United have held talks with the representatives of AC Milan midfielder Rino Gattuso.
But the deal will only happen this summer if AC Milan are relegated in the massive Italian match-fixing scandal.
Intermediaries for United and the player have met in Germany - but so far his Milan club have been left out.
Midfielder Gattuso, 28, has been looking for an excuse to join United.
He is on record as saying: "It is my dream to play for Manchester United and I have had this dream for a long time."
And a well-placed Italian source revealed to The Sun: "Let's just say that all parties except Milan are being kept informed and are waiting for the end of the tournament and the trial with interest."

Man United seriously need to have a strong midfield and a ball winner.
-
Appiah is a good choice!
He never show his true potential when he was at Juventus cos the coach doesn;t play him that often. Subsequently he was offloaded to Fenerbahce becos of the arrival of Patrick Vieira.
I hope he realises his worth at United.
And please! No Gattuso! He sucks!
He belongs to the "brainless" group of players, always committing fouls and plays ugly football. He'll ruin United's midfield!
My desired United formation (4-4-2):
GK 1 Edwin Van der Sar
RB 2 Wes Brown
CB 5 Rio Ferdinand
CB 6 Nemenja Vidic
LB 3 Gabriel Heinze
RM 7 Cristiano Ronaldo
CM 4 Stephan Appiah
CM 8 Paul Scholes
LM 11 Ryan Giggs
ST 9 Wayne Rooney
ST 10 Fernando Torres
Substitutes:
GK 13 Ben Foster
RB 12 Gerard Pique
LB 14 Patrice Evra
CM 18 Alan Smith
ST 19 Luis Saha
Cheers.
