Gill: Signings To Be Made After Euro 2008
-
Manchester United chief executive David Gill has hinted that while several players are being monitored by the Red Devils, no formal approaches will be made until after this month's European Championship.
One exception to the rule may be Cardiff City youngster Aaron Ramsey, who is reported to be in negotiations with Everton, Arsenal and Manchester United - with the double winners favourites to land the 17-year-old prospect.
However, in terms of established, first-team players, while Gill all-but confirmed manager Sir Alex Ferguson is interested in a few additions, he added that it is unlikely that there will be any transfer activity from the club until after the Austria-Switzerland tournament.
"I don't know about expecting new additions before we set off on pre-season but we expect something during the course of the summer," revealed Gill.
"If you look at it traditionally when there is a big competition there is not a lot of activity going on when the competition is taking place.
"Quite rightly the players are concentrating on the competition and playing for their countries. The mangers of those countries don't want distractions about transfers.
"It is likely more moves will happen after the tournament so any new players wouldn't be with us on tour unless we do pull a rabbit out of the hat." -

was just reading Martin ON'eil, manager of Aston Villa's comment on buying players..
He won't buy players from one event cause it is not a good representations of the players' performance, which I agree.
Also, most of the players in EURO08 are well known and scouted.. It is unlike the WC where some emerging talents will spring from Asia or Africa.
Furthermore, most times, it is the agents who are ironing out the deals and not the players.
So why the wait? If MUFC already scouted the players, surely, they can go forth and pull them in..
btw, benezema is not moving so we can stop dreaming on tha deal.
