As if.

Tevez to city is my guess.

Dream world. We'll get Johnson and unless we sell and get some significant money I can see someone like Tuncay being our only other signing.

We'd need £70 million for the 3 named above. I reckon we have about £20million to spend and I can't see us raising the other £50 million whether we sell Alonso or not.

England scared of Australian Football World Cup bid ENGLAND is clearly rattled that Australia is trying to take the World Cup from under its nose. Socceroos goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer says England, favourite to win hosting rights, is far from underestimating Australia's bid for sport's showpiece event in 2018. The Fulham star yesterday attended the official launch in Canberra, along with Socceroos skipper Lucas Neill. "I don't think at this stage they (England) are too over confident," Schwarzer said. "They are relatively quiet on it. I think they know Australia is very capable of hosting such an event. "They've obviously done their launch and release. Like anyone is, I think everyone has to be cautious at this stage." Schwarzer said his Fulham teammates had not ribbed him at all about Australia's chances of either winning the 2018 cup or even hosting the event four years later. here is the video and link www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/s ... 23,00.html

liverpool are after saviola from madrid for 5m

Jaw dropping. A player who's been past his best for years.

I actually rate him and think he's been harshly treated throughout his career, but surely a small striker like him just isn't needed?

David Villa's deal to join Madrid seems to have hit the rocks and Barca apparently are £10m out on their valuation.

Hope Fergie has a punt, maybe try a £60m deal on the table for Villa and Silva!

Now that would be funny!

wouldnt surprise me if rafa is sniffing around villa

he has been after him for years

i think saviola would be a good signing he has been treated poorly at madrid and a chance at liverpool could make him the player we all know we can be

Barça, Sevilla, Madrid... Next stop Liverpool for the 'promises much, delivers little' train.

I don't want David Villa. Well, I do but only in a fantasy world.

I like our system, 4-2-3-1 works fantastically well and gets the best out of Alonso, Masch, Gerrard and Torres; why change it to add an unnecessary signing? It's the same with Tevez.

People say "well we need top back up players", but I feel some of our first team slots aren't strong enough yet, so buying £20m+ squad players just isn't required, as Keane shown. It's like having the fastest car in the world, but really crap brakes, so what you decide to do is make it even faster, yet completely ignore the areas that need investment.

Villa's the best striker in the world and it's most people's wet dream seeing him in a Liverpool shirt next to Torres, but I'm quite happy having Steven Gerrard alongside him.

As for Saviola, I don't see what he'd bring to us. He's short and pacey, he's not had a good season for God knows how long, probably the best part of 5 years. The lad had potential, but if we're signing a striker from Madrid, I'd rather it be Higuain.

good points there robbie

Good call Robert. The lad has come on leaps and bounds at Madrid and looks a class act.
Shame the same can't be said for his compatriot Gago

Saviola is living on his early champ manager reputation!

He took over Pierre van Hooijdonk's Sensible Soccer crown.

Here's to hoping



That would be fantastic though

An Unknown Superstar doesn't take the news too well

=red:hq2p8dtg

Just reading on Sky that Utd are being linked again with Douglas Costa.

It was a joke, if you'd have asked Unknown Superstar you'd have realised that


How about putting the pic back on, unless of course it has upset TUS.

Yes it really offended me and you should think twice before posting things like that in the future..



Nah seriously it hasn't bothered me whatso ever, infact I didn't know it was on here. Just the La Liga thread. Bang it back on by all means.

I signed him on Football Manager 09. Sh!te.

Only an idiot would consider swapping Alonso for Robben as far as I'm concerned.

Rafa?

Definitely. I doubt Pellegrini or Perez would be daft enough to accept such an offer though.

Leaving Real to sign Arbeloa ?
