Guest Geordie_Elvis Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Where's the Manchester United option? 437099[/snapback] With Man Ures current financial situation I cant see the board releasing £40m+ to bring in Gerrard. And I dont think Stevie would go to the enemy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my 2 reasons still stand why SG wont be going to United. Anyway you dont need him.....you have got Liam Miller and Kleberson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the so called "biggest team in the world" having a "situation" Long live Malcolm Glazer. 437245[/snapback] See you Anyway I dont hold out any hope at all that he would come and sign on at OT, its fairly obvious if he goes anyway then it will be Chelsea. Im not sure of Real Madrids finances at the mo, but they would possibly be the only other contendors for the signature.However i think Beckham and Owen will leave in the summer so not sure if he would fancy it. So the profits have dropped Didnt we just spend in the region of £30 m on Rooney, and a combined £14 on smith and Heinze? All have been quality editions to the side/squad. Granted we have not sucseeded at all in the champs league over the last couple of season but we are still making it there every season, continually passing the group stage, progressing far in domestic cups and being the closest contender in the league to them mafia boys Chel$ki.

With Van Nistelrooy and Rooney the first choice pairing, will Alan Smith want to remain at Man Utd? 437293[/snapback] to be honest I would be gutted to see him go as he has really been taken to heart by united since he joined us. his effort determination and commitment to the cause have all been outstanding and I do feel in the early part of the season we could have fallen a lot further behind had it not been for him. I couldnt blame him at all for excepting a move to the toon if it came about, a deal involving Shay given has been touted and that would probably work well as we need a keeper of that calibre. I dont know what Smith will be thinking at the moment, I have doubts he will shift Ruud and Rooney from the side, but when Chelsea pick up the title will he feel there is unfinished business at Man U?

With Shearer coming to the end of his shelf life, it wouldn't be the worst deal in the world for Newcastle either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly unsucsesfull times i feel 437283[/snapback] Rooney & Heinze have been excellent acquistions, Heinze has been the best foreign player in the Premiership this season IMHO. Man Urinal's problem now, is that in the past they could outspend / outbid everyone in the UK, but with Mr Abramovich on the scene now, they are under greater pressure than ever to succeed on the pitch. I don't beleive for a minute that the majority of Manx accept qualification for the final stages of the CL and the FA Cup final as being success, you know it is abject failure. The Premiership & the CL is the only measure of success for Urinal and you know that they have failed on both counts this season.

MB Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 a straight player swap though, or cash having to go one way? 437318[/snapback] I'd have thought Newcastle would be due some cash from Man Utd. If Smith is worth in the region of £7m (that's what Leeds received), I'd say Given isn't worth much less than 9m. That's a pretty hefty wack for a goalkeeper but Ferguson has to splash the cash. He can't continue with Howard and Carrol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A strong possibility if we keep goin out at the 2nd stage of the cl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmeicel played til he was 35(ish) and other keepers are playing past that age. Anyway Givens going nowhere, we arent a selling club, unless Man U offer silly money. £10m + Smith and hes yours, we have got Englands best keeper on the bench anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also note that Fergie reckons that Queiroz is his ideal replacement, when he decides to go He hardly set the heather on fire when he was at Real did he? or did I miss something?

The defence was pish, and to me David Beckham is not a central midfielder. Despite the argument i actually do agree he aint the right man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
