That's just a cheap, bitter dig at Shearer though. You seem to forget that Keegan played him in exactly the same position and got the best football out of him in four years.

Reports on Skysports earlier was that Madrid are interested in Ashley Cole. Also that the Inter Milan chief expects Real to make a bid for Maicon.

Negredo plus cash for Xabi Alonso.

Maxi plays in an AMR role, the same as Dirk so that would cause Rafa problems as he (and i) like Dirk playing there.

Maxi wants to stay at Aleti aswell doesnt he?

Other MARCA stories today are of

Huntelaar to AC Milan
Beckenbauer reckons Real don't have enough money to buy Ribery
Mata is wanted by Barcelona

Some extended sideburns to go with his goatee?

What, now he plays for United? Linky?

The season hasn't started yet. Someone else may come in. Also it will be distorted by his early career.

Guessing he has something like the best % of shots with are on target or sometime not that did much last season.

Scored with 29% of his chances last season, best rate in the Premiership, been on SKY Sports News on loop this morning in their Owen story.

Apparently Real have another €100 million left to spend this season. So I would imagine they have enough. RIbery refused to train last night with Bayern.

Sympathy

Wes was in good form last year, but since he's been injured Johnson has firmly claimed the right back position with a lot of impressive displays. Wes was playing well in the form side in Europe, but WTF has England got to do with anything? I think Johnson is a superior right back to Wes Brown, but if you think Wes Brown's better, nice one, but it ain't a FACT that Johnson is a second choice, because he's played regularly for most of the season, and I'm pretty sure he was in the team of the season.

Honestly now, I have never seen where Joorabchian has confirmed we were interested or we'd made an offer, I remember Sky Sports saying we were apparently in the running, but if you can show me where he said we want/wanted him, then I'd happily accept that, as I might have missed it.

As for Barry, well I'd have thought if we were to sign him, we'd have let Alonso go as well. It seems from the very off this summer that Rafa and the club have been adamant Alonso isn't going anywhere. I don't remember seeing anything about us having a bid accepted for Barry, or even making a bid for Barry this year.

But even so, even if our two apparent top targets have gone to Man City, WTF does that mean? Our main target this summer is keeping hold of our stars, you've lost two of yours - one to Man City after he rejected you, yet somehow we're the ones losing our targets to Man City?



I'm not gutted about Owen, I was never his biggest fan when at the club, as soon as he left for Madrid, that's where I completely lost all interest, from then on he's been on the downward slope.

BTW I note that Kevin Bond dropped his libel action against Panorama at the last minute, a couple of weeks ago. No doubt after consulting with BFS and 'Arry. Allegedly.

As he is now working again with 'Arry at Spurs, it doesn't seem to have done either of them any harm. Wii.

Whatever happened to the Stevens report into football corruption? Was it ever published, or just swept under the carpet as too embarrassing?

why is there so many aussie's playing in premiere league

best striker is he now mark?????????????

How many are there then?

Gill and Fergie knew Tevez was going to refuse any contract we offered him due to his dummy spit at being a sub, the original point was us losing our stars to Madrid, whereas I replied not as bad as losing them to city. It's refreshing to see your bitter side though Rob ,I didn't think you had one.

now it is pouring out of you. I remember your post a few pages back about his chances, 29% shot's to goal...most accurate in the premiership.

At newcastle he was FF.

No bid was made though, so we didn't even speak to the player. Only one team has had a bid accepted. Their may have been enquirys looking at though nothing concrete.

I bet he gets a bit of a hostile reception at Anfield next season.

No he won't mate, don't you know? Their fans aren't bothered.

Yeah i'm one of them! lol

Bit gutted, as he's playing for the biggest of rivals, but then again, it's nice to see him in the league, I hope for his sake his career is revived, and i'd like to see him back in the England frame.

No way you're a liverpool fan, you're being sensible and reasonable, take a long hard look at yourself.

I could come out and say he's a tw*t for joining utd. Like I said i'm gutted he's chosen to go to them after he played for us.

Moaning about it won't get me anywhere though will it?
