That's about as funny as people making Munich jokes

Stop comparing Munich to deaths caused by scum.

1. That picture was up there in response to silly rumours that Torres was off to Utd.
2. One of your Nigerian contingent recently killed four Barcelona fans with his car after the CL final last month so, alas, no longer have you won it three times without killing anyone.
3. You are a cock.

I think the 3rd one alone would of been fine

Valencia signed.

Rumours have Benzema on the way.

Valencia scored all of three goals this season gone. Benzema had just short of a goal for every two appearances though.

I would be mildly irritated if I was a United fan right now.

I saw Valencia at the Emirates in the Carling Cup last season and he was mostly kept under control by a very green Kieran Gibbs. He's useful but nothing special.

I'm not he 's a young player with a fuck lot of potential, I'm excited about the changeint he team and especially Rooney being freed up. The worst that happens iManchester United fail to retain the title for the fourth time in a row (something no other English team has managed).

I'm also well excited by the Da Silva twins getting more of a role.

It's a very bullish but apparently successful transfer strategy from Real.

They splash out silly money on Kaka, give you 80 million for Ronaldo, announce they're not done yet, and then make noises about all Fergie's preferred transfer targets, thereby, somewhat incredibly given the 80 million, pricing United out of the market.

 

[stupid dogbot]

So much for ITKs. Now being reported that Benzema is off to Madrid...

Looks like he might be off to Real, which I think he has already said is his preferred option. Hmm could be a struggle this trasnfer window even with the Ronaldo money.

To be honest I have not watched a lot of Valencia, I am sure he is a solid, proven player but £16-18m seems so much money to spend on him!?

 

[kained&able]

never been genuinely impressed with valencia when i have seen him to be honest.

Decent enough player but is of nani/park quality rather then messi/ronaldo.

6 goals in 47 games for wigan last year is hardly impressive and he has never really strick me as an impressive crosser of the ball.

You lot are looking fucked in this window..... so far.

I don't think anyone's expecting Valencia to be of Messi/Ronaldo quality, tbh...

Lyon are denying the Spanish press reports of a deal being done for Benzema, but considering the United thing was from a self-proclaimed "reliable source"... ... I suspect he'll probably be wearing a white shirt next year.

Still plenty of good players out there who haven't signed for Madrid yet, though, I'd imagine.

 

[kained&able]

i really hope they ain't expecting messi quality. Would have bee nice to get someone btter then valencia though. especially for the money.

I'm undoubtedly going to be prooven wrong but i really dont see him as anything more then a squad player for you lot.

Your midfield is looking proper ropey now. So many people needing replacing and no one person who is of real quality. If hargreeves isn't fit soon i reckon its going to be a bad year for you. Unless da kids step up of course but that will require anderson to start scoring and tojic(or whatever he is called) to hit the ground running and never stopping.

& you still really need a striker .

[DRINK?]

you might be right, think this year maybe a struggle though we are seeing more rebuilding, have done it before and will do it again...andersen has to though in my opinion will come good, the boy is class...Hargreaves is the big question mark, get him fit and playing well then we'll do alright...

....think we will buy another couple of players though if this year is a bedding in for the da silvas, possebon, Gibson, Welbeck and Macheda etc then will make for an interesting one and not such a bad one as I see it

[tom_craggs]

Ribery looks like he wants to be at Madrid as well according to his recent statement. Incredible if they do go out and buy him as well.

I think it's right we are realyl going to struggle this transfer window, does not neccesarily mean we are going to struggle next season, domestically at least, because right now it seems Spain is the venue of choice for most top players...Liverpool might struggle to hold on to all of their first choice midfield...we'll see. We are looking a bit weak in the middle though for sure and I am not sure we have enough goals in the team at the moment.

 

[Jambooboo]

Michael Owen...

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Is the owen deal confirmed?if so,lol

 

[Jambooboo]

Sky Bet are offering evens on it.

 

[DRINK?]

As long as it is pay as you play I haven't got a problem with it....could be quite interesting though have to say think he is a long shot at that

probably someone to keep hargreaves company on the physios bench

 

[g force]

I wouldn't consider Benzema a loss TBH...he's looked good in France but I think he's far from the finished article and not convinced he ever will be.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Benzema will probably be good for real madrid though, i think.

 

[internetstalker]

probably someone to keep hargreaves company on the physios bench

personally I think Owen would be a quality signing.

He's the sort of player that can come off the bench in big games and grab winners.

And who knows, he might even get his form back and be prolific again

 

[stupid dogbot]

He's probably heard that United've got £80m sitting around and fancies a slice...

 

[Deareg]

despite being plagued by injuries at newcasle his goals per game ratio is quite good, i think it is close to one every two games

 

[DRINK?]

Its one of those isn't it...sounds sh*t at first though if it is pay per play can't see a problem....he'll get better service than ever, and if he scores against the bindippers well.....

I dunno to be honest, a bit meh though wouldn't mind him on the bench...

If he was to sign for one of the other big 4 I would be a bit wary...ready to laugh if it went tits up though worried if he was fit he'd bang them in all over the shop

 

[Kanda]

The way they have kept Giggs and Scholes going, may be good for him.

 

[Nomadic]

Owen has always been a quality finisher, but I'm sceptical about his fitness. We don't need another Louis Saha.

 

[Diamond]

I agree with this. I've never been impressed by him.

Someone could get a very good deal on Huntelaar now though.

 

[kained&able]

yeah im not convinced about benzena.

The other rumour flaoting about striker wise for you is lois fabiano.

[softybabe]

so..... to Samuel Eto'o or not to Eto'o....any updates about signing him?
