Man Utd Accept £80m Offer for Ronaldo

[Robbie]

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_5374142,00.html



Manchester United have confirmed they have accepted a bid from Real Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo's future at United has been the subject of constant speculation with Real trailing his signature for the last three summers
Real president Florentino Perez has made no secret of the fact that he would like to lure Ronaldo to El Santiago Bernabeu.
Real have now agreed £80million offer for the Portuguese ace and United have given the World Player of the Year permission to talk to the Spanish titans.
Ronaldo will now head to the Spanish capital to hold discussions with Real and undergo a medical.
Real have already snapped up Brazilian superstar Kaka in a world-record deal, but a move for Ronaldo would eclipse that deal.
"Manchester United have received a world-record, unconditional offer of £80million for Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid," read a club statement.
"At Cristiano's request - who has again expressed his desire to leave - and after discussion with the player's representatives, United have agreed to give Real Madrid permission to talk to the player.
"Matters are expected to be concluded by 30 June. The club will not comment until further notice."


LOL.

[Scouse]

haha brilliant

[Jordan,]

yh just herd on radio 1

[Browney]

Who would've thunk it eh? I actually never suspected it. Crikey. If Ronaldo does leave, my PL table will be:

1. Chelsea
2. Liverpool
3. Man U
4. Arsenal

Ronaldo pretty much single handedly won them matches. I cant see anyone else in that squad, or Valencia, being able to do that. They've got no one else that special.

[champions]

I'm not going to believe it until he wears the shirt of Madrid or I see a press conferance saying he has signed. Sounds like lies.

I know but look what happened with Kaka to city. Everybody was saying Kaka had joined City e.t.c but he never did. I know he probably has but I'm waiting to see him in the Madrid kit

well thats what it says on the manks website so its more than likely you'll see him in a madrid kit. :)

[CJW93]

£80 Million!!

Footballers are way over valued. No one is worth that much, even someone of his caliber sorry.

[Arron]

Yes he's gone!

Never liked him much.

Dives to much.

Has too many paddies.

GL at Madrid.

[Wolverhampton]

great news, let the spanish have him, diving ****.
money wasted if you ask me.
i really hate madrid, throwing their weight around like they own everyone, idiots.

anyway,
wonder who utd will sign with the £80m they're gonna get?

Hopefully Fergie will meet Tevez's agents demands and buy him :P

well, fergie said a while back he would rather let ronaldo rot than sell him. So i'm guessing the higher powers at the club authorised the sale, the same higher powers who might just owe a bit of money to a few friends of theirs...

[Wolverhampton]

Tevez, Valencia from Wigan, and maybe Benzema/Ribery?

[Robbie]

Hmm, some of it will probably go towards the debts etc, so I'd say Tevez and Valencia.

[Wolverhampton]

Hardly a replacement for Ronaldo is it? Valencia and Tevez (who they already had anyway)

Now they really don't have any width accept for Nani...

[Soy]

Where did they get £130M from?

[Browney]

One of the biggest club stadiums in the world may help, shirt sales from worldwide places, sponsorship deals are huge when your the most succesful european club, TV rights for dozens of countries...

[Immenseman]

I think it's funny people think United will finish third without Ronaldo. They will have 80million which they will use to strengthen their squad. Ronaldo is one of the best players in the world and they won't be able to replace him with the same quality. However, they can get 3/4 world class players with the £80 million and the money they would have had anyway. United probably have £100 million to play with. I genuinely am not 100% concerned about Ronaldo going. If he wants to go, let him.

[Wolverhampton]

I'm quite happy that he's going TBH, just don't like the manor in which Real Madrid are going about, buying the best players for absolute silly money.

But then again, let's just wait for Man City to buy someone.. :/

[Wootzeh]

shame, wanted to rip into him again when he came to Stoke. He did absolutley nothing on Boxing Day.

[Wolverhampton]

Frank Ribery is now 7/4 favourite to join United.

People are already saying that Valencia is a done deal, not bad I suppose. :)

[Immenseman]

I'm sure Fergie has plans, he's let big stars go before and he's always progressed.

[Wolverhampton]

Hope Ribery comes over here, he's a serious talent, along with Benzema also.

This made me lol:

[LuketheDuke]

No football player is worth 80 million pounds, Madrid are single handely destroying the integrity of football with their ludicrous spending.

I hope they go bust so Ronaldo cant afford to keep covering himself in baby oil.

[Excellent2]

Not fussed about him going because now we will strengthen our squad. I'd have chosen Ribery, Benzema and Valencia for Ronaldo anyday.

[Wolverhampton]

TBH Benzema, Ribery, and Valencia would be great signings.

[Jack.Lfc]

The premier league will never be the same again.

[Geraint]

Anyone else rather worried by the growing strength of La Liga. Barcelona have just smashed Man Utd, Real Madrid have signed Kaka and look set to be signing Ronaldo. 2 of the best footballers in the world have just joined Spanish league. Now I know that the Premier League will still be strong but the Spanish league is starting to rise. Man Utd can't replace Ronaldo but they can buy other players to strengthen other positions. I don't rate Ribery myself. £60m is a bigger rip-off than Ronaldo if you ask me.

[Jack.Lfc]

Haha, see the madrid fans on ssn saying they didnt want him and they want local spanish players.

[brandon]

La Liga has Messi, Ronaldo and Kaka!!

Franck Ribery doesn't want to come here because he doesn't like the climate LOL

http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/87/germany/2009/06/07/1310983/bayern-munichs-franck-ribery-rejects-england-move

[Wolverhampton]

That's ********, it's obviously a joke as he's playing Germany as they have the same climate.

**** LA LIGA.

[brandon]

That's ********, it's obviously a joke as he's playing Germany as they have the same climate.

**** LA LIGA.
Yeah but it might mean he wants to move to somewhere hotter like Spain, rather than stay in Germany or move to England. Or it could be typical sensationalism where a joke was taken out of context.

[e5]

About time is all I have to say.

[Wolverhampton]

1431 BST: Valencia have turned down a reported offer from Chelsea for David Villa, with the Spain international seemingly set to join Real Madrid instead, according to the player's agent. (Press Association)

Real Madrid are single handedly ruining football, and wasting a hell of a lot of money.

[Immenseman]

I think players just want to go to Madrid, Spain is generally more attractive than England.

[Wolverhampton]

Yeah, but we have a better league, they just want to be a 'galactico' which sounds like something out of a kiddy super hero film, sad.

If this was an English club buying all these players, Sepp Blatter and all the other English hating foreigners would be slating us, but noo, cause it's Madrid, it's ok!

*****s. :P

[luce]

i think he should have gone at the end of last season for the 100m he did jack this season. Not anything near 20m worth anyway :) Not sad to see him go although i'll have to change my desktop background :eusa_whis

[AgnesIO]

Hopefully Fergie will meet Tevez's agents demands and buy him :P

They have enough donkeys as it is? :D


I'm quite happy that he's going TBH, just don't like the manor in which Real Madrid are going about, buying the best players for absolute silly money.

Stop going on about bloody Madrid ruining football :l Man City tried doing the exact same thing, but EVEN WORSE OFFERS.

Its just because Madrid are by far one of the worlds greatest clubs, and people actually want to play for them.

----

I do think though thats £80m is MAD. He is a good player, but no one should be allowed to be bought or sold for more than £20m MAX.

:)

[Immenseman]

If only they had an extra 20 hey, could have got Newcastle :lol:

[Wolverhampton]

Newcastle has been bought apparently.

And Dom, you don't decide who I criticise, or where I do it, I do, not you, kthx.

[Robbie]

I'm sure FIFA said they were going to introduce a rule to stop stupid bids and clubs buying all these players for stupid sums of money when City said they were going to do a 'Madrid'.

Then again Blatter hates England so yeah.

You WILL sorely miss the 26goals he scored for you this season. FACT.

This is called a FORUM. I can do what I like?

I'm just being honest. And your other post going on about if it was in England foreginers would go madf blah blah blah.

What utter crap? I mean if you ever go to Spain, you'll soon find out not everyone like Madrid spending loads :rolleyes:

[Immenseman]

*Removed* I was talking about the Fifa and Uefa presidents hating on English clubs, cause when English clubs spend this much money or try to, they always moan and say it's absurd, but now Madrid are doing it, it's all ok with them. It's a fact that Fifa and Uefa don't like the English, everyone on this forum realises and understands that, so you arguing with the rest of the Sports section on that one.

So get your ****** facts rite and stop trying pick flaws in my argument, cause to be honest I will pick flaws in yours all day long, if you really want me to.

Don't challenge me cause I am king, k.

[Wahey]

Wow, GL at Madrid

[Immenseman]

but you lied and said you were king.

[Wolverhampton]

Sarcasm obviously. ;)

EDIT:

TBH, looks like I was wrong about Platini; http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/8095115.stm

Fair play to him, wonder if Sepp Blatter the **** thinks the same, my guess is NO. :P

[Wootzeh]

It won't be missed when it's replaced with quality.
Where else will you get the 26goals from? You already had Tevez and I can't see Ribery or Valencia being a prolific goalscorer.

[Immenseman]

I love the way Gordon Brown has his say :lol:

@ Wootzeh if you think United will struggle next season then you're wrong. They have lost stars before and it'll happen again. Whether Rooney plays a more central role and Berbatov settles or they bring a new CF in, who knows? Certainly not us.

[Wolverhampton]

United need Tevez, along with two wingers and Ribery, just my opinion. ;)

If they do that, they will win the PL next season, simple.

[Lee]

How on earth will Chelsea win :P I think it will be:

1) Liverpool
2) Arsenal
3) Chealsea

[Immenseman]

How on Earth will Liverpool win and Arsenal will probably be beaten by City/Spurs/Villa/Everton IMO. It'll OBVIOUSLY be:

United
Chelsea
Liverpool

[Jack.Lfc]

How on Earth will Liverpool win and Arsenal will probably be beaten by City/Spurs/Villa/Everton IMO. It'll OBVIOUSLY be:

United
Chelsea
Liverpool

Uno, by doing the double over united and chelsea again and turning draws into wins. E.g. Against the mighty stoke.

[Immenseman]

Which won't happen because you can't keep Torres and Gerrard fit all season and you can't function without them.

[Wootzeh]

Look what happened when you didn't have Ronaldo at the start of the season...

And Jack, that won't happen, might get some points from the new promoted teams and Hull though ;)

[Jack.Lfc]

We managed fine against united at home without them both, Torres has been injured alot. Uno when we beat united without torres and gerrard was ronaldo playing? Im sure he was injured :s

[Wolverhampton]

Wolves will win the league now that Ronaldo has left!

YEAAAAA :)

[Rarelime]

Hope he goes there and always starts from the bench, hehe.

[Immenseman]

We started the season before slow too with Ronaldo, United have started slow for the last few years. You're all SEETHING that United will run away with the league once again even without the best player in the world!

[Wolverhampton]

Hope he breaks his knee and is ruled out for 18 months, that would be good. :)

[Jack.Lfc]

I wish him all the best.

[CHA!NGANG]

Personally I think Man U should buy Diego Milito as a striker, and Joaquin as a winger. Both class players and would add a bit of flair to the Man U team.

[Rock]

LOL found about about this like 3 hours ago but haven't been on HxF.

Anyway I am just wondering if Utd will be still as strong. Nani as a good replacement?

[Robbie]

Nani is utter rubbish and he's nowhere near as good a replacement as we need.

[Rock]

Yeah he never plays to the best of his abilities. Anyway it was Man U fans on SSN hoping that he would "shine"

[Excellent2]

LOL found about about this like 3 hours ago but haven't been on HxF.

LOL, the united team is surely not lacking depth. Ok Ronaldo was a big presence for us on the pitch but we'll manage without him. We have Rooney, Nani, Giggs, Scholes, Anderson... ect.

Ronaldo = Money Grabber, for what this Club have done for him, he's basically thrown it all back in their face.

If he wanted to go, then that's fine. Zip up until the end of the season, alway through the season it's was always about Ronaldo, Ronaldo this, Ronaldo that. He should of just wait to the end of season and come out and say he wanted to go. He really did unsettled the team. Tbh i had enough of his tantrums and he's silly attitude, thanks Real for £80 Million!

I'm starting to question is it worth giving/offer players long term contracts... A contract is a contract and a player should be loyal to a contract until it is run out.

I don't think Valencia would be a signing to make a difference to the team tbh, Ribery would be a good signing but i think he's worth 20-40 million. 60 Million for him is a joke and i don't think united will be prepared to pay that amount for him.

£130 Mill we've got,

Ribery - 35 million.
Tevez - 25 Million.
Sign Alonso.. Lol. :)

Probably a decent attck/striker to give Rooney and if Tevez stays, some support. That's all tbh.

If think what were lacking is a LEADER. Since Roy Keane there has been no one who is leading the team. Carrick ,Rio, Gary haven't been up to the job. So it would be nice to get someone in who can bring the team together and lead them.

I can seen Becks coming to us in October. ;) Maybe even now.

[Rock]

Stick to the SPL;)

Shut up please because I lived in England for 5 years and started watching football first through the league there. :rolleyes: :S

Is it me or is anyone worrying about our clubs image? Now that Ronaldo's gone we will officially have the ugliest club in the world. Adding Ribery to that would be colossal.

yeah you've got no chance with Rooney, Berbatov, Tevez, Vidic and Ferdinand. NO CHANCE. :rolleyes:

[Immenseman]

Ronaldo is rank up close anyway, blotted skin!! We still have O'Shea and he is LUSH. Actually, he could replace Ronaldo :eusa_danc Macheda is pretty damn hot too ;) I would! x

Did I say that? Yes dear, Anderson next season will score the 26 goals Ronaldo scored. Lets see, Giggs scored 2 this season and Anderson has never scored for United. I wouldn't rely on those boys. And how long are you going to keep relying on Scholes and Giggs? That leaves Nani who is a brown mark on Ronaldos shorts or Rooney who gets applause for helping defend but never bags enough goals as a striker for a club top of the PL.

[Excellent2]

ROFL man u fans seeeeeeeeething that their talisman has gone and trying to put a brave face onNot really seeing as we're buying other talent :)

I'd hardly call 27 and 29 OAP...

Yes there not young in terms of football but still Man U have lots of young blood with Nani, Anderson, Vidic, Rooney e/c/t.

[Clowgon]

Did I say that? Yes dear, Anderson next season will score the 26 goals Ronaldo scored. Lets see, Giggs scored 2 this season and Anderson has never scored for United. I wouldn't rely on those boys.

That leaves Nani who is a brown mark on Ronaldos shorts or Rooney who gets applause for helping defend but never bags enough goals as a striker for a club top of the PL.

I don't think you see my point dear. Anderson may probably not score an incredible 26 goals but he may put in performances that will be quite crucial for the team. The same with the others. Maybe the last year or so of Giggs and Scholes but so i'm sure they'll be up for it.

Nani is still a developing player but he's not far off from the starting eleven. Some of the games he's played he's been terrific. When Ronaldo came here 5 years ago he was just like Nani, we all knew that he was good but it took time for him to settle in and to become a player what he is today. I'm sure it's the same with Nani.

The thing what is worrying is we only have a certain amount of players who can really score/create goals. But the players who have been mentioned above all have the capability of doing it.

As i've said before in my previous post, we need a leader, we haven't got once since Keano. Carrick or Rio hasn't been up for the it.

In Rome you could see we never had leader to bring the team together, you see the Barcelona team and you can see they have leaders and that's what we are lacking.

[Clowgon]

ROFL man u fans seeeeeeeeething that their talisman has gone and trying to put a brave face on

Some Man United fans will be gutted some won't be. I don't think seeeething is the word which can/could describe feeling that United fans are feeling right now.

It would be the same if Torres/Gerrard or left....

Unlike Liverpool, we have/get players to for fill the boots of Ronaldo.
When Gerrard retires, i can't see Liverpool finding a player who is alike Gerrard, Liverpool have a difficult task ahead of them! :)

People must think about it like this, we are one of the sensible clubs in the world... Unlike Man City/Real Madrid, Chelsea - Who spend ridiculous amount of money on players who are like 27,28,29 and can only bring them a few seasons of glory.

At united we look to build for the future.... Not for a season or two! ;)

Wait what.

You truly need an out and out scorer. sure, bring tevez back. sign him for good! Then him, berbatov and rooney could hopefully get 26 goals between them. ^_^ If you don't get a player who can score like Ronaldo then you will not win the premier league. FACT.


Berbatov :'(

Keane?

[Madox]

I know but look what happened with Kaka to city. Everybody was saying Kaka had joined City e.t.c but he never did. I know he probably has but I'm waiting to see him in the Madrid kit


Totally Agree, same thing happend to steven gearad in 2002 i think when there was a speculation he joine chelsea he comfired it 2 hours later he turned them down so not going to belive nayhting until hes in the shirt

[Immenseman]

The big difference this time is Ronaldo actually wants to go. Gerrard and Kaka didn't want to go to either Chelsea or City. Ronaldo does want to go to Madrid, sure he's a world class player but you have to be realistic.

[Callum.]

i think they'll lose their flare and won't win anything next season.

Also berbaflop spring to mind with spending well?

Kaka's 27, is just about to peak I'd say and Ronaldo is 24 and hasn't yet peaked (God help us when he does). What's your point?

[luce]

He is the best player in the world and will be for years to come. When he peaks he will be unstoppable. He has won everything with United now and even if we had one 7 this year he would have gone. I don't think he likes to stay somewhere for sentimental value he likes to win thinks. I will always be a massive fan and support him where ever he goes and hope to see him back in the PL one day :)

He was first spotted by then-Liverpool (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liverpool_F.C.) manager Gérard Houllier (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%A9rard_Houllier) at 16, but Liverpool declined to take him on because they decided he was too young and needed some time to develop his skills.[11] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristiano_Ronaldo#cite_note-cr101-10) However, he came to the attention of Manchester United (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_United_F.C.) manager Alex Ferguson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Ferguson) in the summer of 2003, when Sporting defeated United 3–1 in the inauguration of the Estádio José Alvalade (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Est%C3%A1dio_Jos%C3%A9_Alvalade) in Lisbon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisbon). Ronaldo's performance impressed the Manchester United players, who urged Ferguson to sign him.[12] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristiano_Ronaldo#cite_note-crwc-11)

How ****e.

[Skajo]

If I remember correctly Wenger had a chance to sign him. Also, Queiroz who was Fergie's assistant at the time told him to sign either Ronaldo or Quaresma - good choice lol.

[Geraint]

People are quoting the name Ribery everywhere. Does anybody realise how much Ribery will cost. Bayern aren't a team to be pushed by anybody in a transfer. If they demand a fee they'll get it or the player's going nowhere. Expect around £50m if he is to be bought. Personally, I think Man Utd would be better off buying someone like Ashley Young and some striker who can score goals.

To the people saying about Sepp Blatter hating the English bla dee bla. Shut up. We all know he's anti-English but let's face it, Real Madrid are actually a big team. When people go to Man City it's different because Man City aren't a good team in the first place. Real Madrid are actually a decent team, okay maybe not at the moment, but they are a big club and players want to go to them. Maybe for the money but money is less of an issue than it would be going to Man City where it is pretty much 100% money when going to Real Madrid is slighty less as you can say that you have played for Real Madrid if you get me. :P

[Wolverhampton]

Yeah but it all boils down to the same thing, money, it would obviously make a difference to the player what club he's going to, but the money influences the club, which is ruining football.

[Skajo]

It's not ruining football - you have to think that 80m, most of it will go back into football - keeping the economic value of money in football the same. I know what you're saying with clubs paying stupid money but you can unearth the next Zidane for 12m and sell him for 80m then that's a job well don. You can buy another 6 Zidane's - it's good business.

I like money in football - makes it interesting.

[Wolverhampton]

Well, maybe it's just me, I hate most foreigners, especially Mediterranean countries... dunno why, typical English person maybe, AND PROUD!! :P

[Excellent2]

At the end of the day, we took Ronaldo and made him a star. If he had been playing for any other team I really don't think he would be how he is.

He's an amazing talent and I'm sad to see him go but everyone moves on, just like Beckham did. When Beckham went, everyone claimed that we would go down hill and all this, along came Ronaldo and put an end to that. We will do the same with whoever we sign next.

Take a look at Welbeck, he's a future star and I can't wait to watch him as he grows with us.

I reckon Ronaldo will get better at Ronaldo as he's going to be playing with the other 2 best players in the world, Kaka and Messi.

I can only hope he matures over there and doesn't let the hype of his £80m transfer fee get to his head. We all know he can be a bit of a big headed so and so :P

[Wolverhampton]

Ronaldo will get better at Ronaldo? wth.
But yea, Messi doesn't play for Real Madrid.

[Jack.Lfc]

Ronaldo will get better at Ronaldo? wth.

Oh i lol'd

[Wolverhampton]

same here. ;)

[Immenseman]

Oh i lol'd


same here. ;)
You laugh at people mistakes? Cool. Everyone makes mistakes children ;) The first one is just a simple typing error he OBVIOUSLY means Ronaldo will get better at Madrid, doesn't take a rocket scientist (not that you two are anywhere near that sort of intellect) to grasp that.

[Wolverhampton]

Ye but people don't make mistakes about Messi playing for Madrid? I mean that's just footballing common sense.

And btw what gives you the right to say this:


doesn't take a rocket scientist (not that you two are anywhere near that sort of intellect)

do you anywhere near the intellect to be a rocket scientists?

nopeee, so you don't have the right to use that sort of phrase, my friend.

[Immenseman]

yes, yes i do.

[Wolverhampton]

Obviously, that's why your posting on a Habbo fan site forum. :P

Are you are the International Space Station right now whilst you are on HxF?

[Jack.Lfc]

He always claims he's at ot when theres a match, on his iphone.

[Immenseman]

I'm at OT atm Jack on my iPhone... waiting for latest Ronaldo developments.

[Wolverhampton]

He could be being sarcastic. :P

[Jack.Lfc]

he is obv.

[Immenseman]

He could be being sarcastic. :P
never ;)

[Wolverhampton]

I meant to post that before what you posted.

Then when the post went through you'd posted so it makes me look stupid, lmao.

[CHA!NGANG]

For Real, I would put:

Casillas

Metzelder, Cannavaro, Ramos, Heinze

Ronaldo, Kaka, Diarra (In Defensive Midfield), Sneijder, Robben

Raul

And then put Kaka and Sneijder as more attacking.

In my opinion, the only thing Madrid need to do now is buy one strong out and out striker like Villa, and a good Left Back, like Christian Chivu and they will potentially be the best team in the world.

[AgnesIO]

He is the best player in the world and will be for years to come. When he peaks he will be unstoppable. He has won everything with United now and even if we had one 7 this year he would have gone. I don't think he likes to stay somewhere for sentimental value he likes to win thinks. I will always be a massive fan and support him where ever he goes and hope to see him back in the PL one day :)

Laughs.

You are forgetting that Messi is far better than him. Outplays Ronaldo all the time.

Na. It hardly makes it interesting when only about 5 clubs in England can spend that much money.

For example in lower leagues (where all the TRUE fans are..), Peterbough's (How you spell it? :P) through **** loads of money at the club, spending mad amounts of money for conference players, leaving all the other clubs out of chance.


Well, maybe it's just me, I hate most foreigners, especially Mediterranean countries... dunno why, typical English person maybe, AND PROUD!! :P

There is nothing wrong with foreigners :rolleyes:

If you ever go abroad on holiday then you are a foreigner to them, that will probably hate you to :rolleyes:

[Arron]

I definitely think with this 80m, United should buy Brian Jensen from Burnley.

[Wolverhampton]

Laughs.

[Wolves]

Wow I'm fed up of getting banned on this forum now. :P

Only had three infractions too, pathetic!

Edited by :Mobile (Forum Moderator): Please do not post off-topic.

[Smiddy]

This can only favour United, replace Ronaldo with Benzema and purchase Tevez; if they really wanna do well next season, sell Nani and get Hleb from Barca. :)

[Wolves]

Hleb wouldn't go to United I don't think.

[Jack.Lfc]

aw wolverhampton banned ;(

[Wolves]

who? i heard he was putting people straight so he got banned? :rolleyes

[Rarelime]

Imo I think United already have a replacement for Ronaldo in Rooney. Sure he's not as prolific, but over the last couple of games (club + country) he's proven his versatility, and seems to be maturing as a player. In the future he can only get better.

[18-3]

Hleb is average, no thanks.

[Wolves]

Fergie got £100 million to spend. (confirmed by the Glazer family):
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_5375747,00.html

Expect Ribery, Benzema and Valencia, maybe Tevez to stay also.

Wigan have now confirmed Valencia big:
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_5376544,00.html

Big times coming in this transfer window!

[Jack.Lfc]

Kun aguero could be on his way.

[Wolves]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/gossip_and_transfers/8096475.stm

Interesting...

Augero, Bezema, or Silva? hard choice... :O

[AgnesIO]

I hate the Spanish when I go abroad as they're ****** arrogant lol.

Because you spend your time in New Benidorm :rolleyes:


who? i heard he was putting people straight so he got banned? :rolleyes

More like causing trouble, talking out his ass.

Any club in more than £100mil dept should not be allowed to buy any more players until they get out of it.

Edited by :Mobile (Forum Moderator): Please do not be rude.

[Jack.Lfc]

Madrid rnt in debt apaz.

[AgnesIO]

Madrid rnt in debt apaz.


Did I say Madrid?

I was actually referring to Manchester United with their bankrupt american owners.

[Jack.Lfc]

And Jack, its just becasue I have other things to do than wait for replies, sorry if I don't reply in two secs? :S

Anyway Madrid should try and beg Messi now - then they would truly be world class LOL

[Jack.Lfc]

GIVE THEM MESSI, LIVERPOOL WILL STILL TAKE THEM.

[Wolves]

Messi would never go to Real Madrid, lmao.

Omg dom chill christ sake, just cause I love my country you go mad? ugh, you're so unpatriotic lol.

[AgnesIO]

[AgnesIO]

[Browney]

Because you spend your time in New Benidorm :rolleyes:

I love going to spain and like staying in villas and have to speak broken spanish down the local restaurant in the little village to get my food. :eusa_danc


I'm the King and you're my Queen.

Btw, isn't it a bit strange, where are Madrid getting all this moneyz from?

Perez is like moneybags from monopoly.

[Jack.Lfc]

I hate staying in villas. No one from the outside can admire my looks if im in a villa.

[Browney]

yeah but If I go like all inclusive then I see a fat, pale english bloke in full chelsea football kit, including england cap stuffing his face with chips, barely realising hes in spain and I shudder. I like to imagine I'm spainish when I see those people and say "Bloody english." :D

[Wolves]

this is all hypocritical of the english man!!! you should be proud to be that fat pale english bloke eating chips :(

[Browney]

Yes we are, yes we are!

Yes we are, yes we are!
Did u get my thread deleted. :'(

[Rock]

Back to topic, Man Utd say selling Ronaldo was nothing to do with the fact that the clubs in debt and that its a plan being developed by Fergie.

Interesting to see what he does.

[Rock]

Manchester City spending ridiculous fees? Care to point me in a direction to one of these fees please? They've just signed up a England international, a player commanding a £18,000,000 fee last summer for £12,000,000. Don't bring up De Jong because from what I understand he would of signed a new contract this summer and would of commanded a fee of around £20,000,000 and they would of faced competition from some top teams in England for him.



I think he meant the £106,000,000 they offered for Kaka and you forgot Robinho for £30,000,000.

[Rock]

£32m which also went down the toilet in many ways.

[Jack.Lfc]

I Think i kno you.

[Wolves]

i know you do you know me cause i know you

anyway, ronaldo has a problem with his hernia, may not pass the medical, i would lol so hard i'd choke on my tonsils.

[Rock]

I'll get them out for you ;)

Anyway he should pass. Don't see him failing.

[Wolves]

he should pass a medical yea but i'd like to see him fail.

[Rock]

he should pass a medical yea but i'd like to see him fail.

it would be for the lols but the sooner everything gets sorted the better :P

Perez is like moneybags from monopoly.

Haha. I have two homes out there, one in a place near Mijas (Cabopino) and one in the mountains in a place called Torrocks.

The good thing for tourists is, especially if you cannot speak very good Spanish, is that little words will get you quite far!


i know you do you know me cause i know you

anyway, ronaldo has a problem with his hernia, may not pass the medical, i would lol so hard i'd choke on my tonsils.


If he doesn't pass his medical then there is nothing to laugh about?

Since Madrid wouldn't pay the £80m for him!

[Rock]

He should pass comfortably. He says its nothing to worry about and he knows himself best :P

[lPinoy]

hope he flops.

hes an idiot, and I couldn't dislike someone anymore than I do with him.
