well its time to start the 2009/2010 pre-season merry go round:
Barry to City - £'s or England future... weird choice...
Bruce to Sunderland - isn't he a Geordie?
Martinez to Wigan - not sure that's the best move he could have made?
lets get next season started here....

what has moving to city got to do with Barry's england future:confused::confused:
they'll finish above bloody villa next season!. I thought he wanted european football.......we were after him but it looks like we got no money to strengthen the squad so we aint gonna win it next year i fear.......
Looks like Ronaldo's finally going. £80m :eek:
How much money have Real got or are they just getting themselves up to the neck in debt? They're supposedly close to signing Villa too so looks like it'll be another team of Galacticos next year

...they're part government-funded, so they'll probably just up taxes!

ho hum, lets see who United stump up and buy with this £80m
it could part fund keeping Tevez i suppose... we need to shift Berba, unless he's gonna up his game...
Ron did us proud, and he's been great - at least he's gone abroad... the premiership will miss him though - in both good and bad ways...

excellent - we'd get a spare training ground, a squad of overpaid slackers, 1 broken Michael Owen, 52k more whining fans and Mary Poppins after all
still seems like a good idea, we could have a second team in the championship... rename them from NUFC to MUFC II, get Darren Ferguson to Manage them, call them United Jr.

¿¿¿???
I guess this explains it a bit better:
Real rich: Where Madrid's money comes from
* Clubs in Spain are free to negotiate separate deals rather than central contracts. Madrid signed a £700m seven-year deal with MediaPro in 2006, seeing them easily top £100m a year, double United's earnings.
* Their bids for top players are also aided by Spain's tax laws – foreign players pay tax at just 23 per cent for their first five years. In England the 50p tax means clubs have to pay more to match wages on offer in Spain.
* The club's status in Spain helps them maintain their place at the forefront of European football. All debts they hold are with local banks, rather than relying on American billionaires or Russian oil companies. These banks are pressured to allow Madrid certain unwritten privileges, such as low interest repayments on loans. Their stature and standing in the country means they are unaffected by issues that could affect smaller clubs.
* Real Madrid have finished top of the Deloitte Money League for four years. The Bernabeu enjoys the third-highest average attendance in Europe while overseas trips generate revenue through ticket and merchandise sales.

not sure your fans would welcome having to travel EVEN further to 'home' matches - you should've bought west ham :rolleyes:
(oh; and you dropped the 'football club' a while back, soccerboys...)
Blimey
Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to sign a six-year contract before being formally confirmed as a Real Madrid player on July 1. His salary will start at £9.5 million a year, rising 25 per cent annually to a staggering £29 million, or just over £557,500 a week, in the final year. He stands to earn up to £107 million.

Little Mickey was hardly thrilled when Sky Sports sprung the Hull idea on him, was he?
He's always conducted himself fairly well, is it wrong that I'm a bit disappointed with the brochure? Maybe this is normal practice and I'm fooling myself.
I still think him at Villa with Emile could work pretty well.
As long as Carew and Agbonlahor are still there for the real work, naturally.

he's compact and bijou, is very handy for transport links (be they helicopter or horse and cart) and has the advantage of being totally detached... he's grade 1 listed and therefore improvement would be a struggle...
he used to be a really great player:(....when he was with Liverpool.....
i hope he sorts himself out a decent team........

06-25-2009, 06:15 AM
Apparently Hull and Stoke are interested in Owen now... lol. If he does sign for them it will be a one season deal and only to advertise another "come and get me" ploy especially if he goes injury free...

maybe we'll end up paying £100,000 then ;)

i know - i'm more shocked than anything!!!!
Fergie is a genius, so who knows...
(matt tracks back....) (can i delete previous posts !!!!)
seriously though (;)) if it is a pay as you play thing - there's no real risk, its not like we're paying £16m or whatever for him... ;)
Sam Alerdyce didn't want to take the risk two days ago because Blackburn need a striker to play 30 games, whereas United will use Owen when they need to (if he stays fit)
also, at Newcastle he was in a team that gave him no service, now with Giggs, Valencia, Berbatov and Rooney providing, maybe he'll get back on the goal trail, United need an out-and-out striker, haven't had one since Ruud
nonetheless i'm still shocked...
btw in less shocking news: did you know Michael Jackson died last week?? :p

Im shocked... but mainly its the Liverpool factor... because Owen as a player for me is simply just trying desperately to survive in a footballing world which has clearly moved on.. its a clever move by Owen the player, but he has tarnished his name as Owen the Ex-Liverpool player.
Its a pity it has to be that way too.

woohoo!
cracking start by my squad.
who'd thought Matthew Upson would start so well.
6-1 against the Toffees - lovely stuff. I chose Arshavin - but holy hell, Fabregas is something special isn't he?
early doors and all that - it's a long season - but top stuff from the Arse.

I'm glad he missed his chances today. Hopefully he'll get injured soon.
Go Spurs! :)
Even sweeter was watching it with two of my mates who are huge Liverpool fans. And Benitez may be bleating on about penalties not given but unlike last year's win at White Hart Lane where Liverpool could feel robbed, Spurs were by far the better team yesterday and if Keane had had his shooting boots on the score would have been even bigger.
Still, I'm not getting carried away and as a seasoned Tottenham fan I fully expect us to get beaten at Hull on Wednesday...

chelsea lucky

wigan wow

man city £££
its all good - ten wins no draws - nice opening day, 10 team with 3 points 10 with 0,
Everton can take consolation from spurs last season who had 1 point from 9 games or something....
bring on midweek...

To be fair we should have had 1 maybe even 2 more penalties but that would have been unjust as you rightly say. Spurs were the better team, i don't recall us having a single shot on target in the second half........although i'd sunk a few by then:eek:

in before everyone else...
Burnley was a super bad day, but I'm not as confident about United this season - could be a struggle, especially with Chelsea (and Spurs!) playing so well... United do start slowly - see last season - but i'm more worried than last year - but i'm still confident of a change... lets hope it comes on Saturday...

I think you miss Ronaldo. May as well have me playing instead of Owen.
On a side note fact fans, Newcastle had 3000 more fans in the stadium last night to watch Sheffield Wesnesday get beat then Sunderland did against Chelsea the day before. Haha.
