Premier League 2010-2011: Are You Ready for It? It’s for Number 19.

By

The start of the season is finally there and we have had a rather quiet silly season, other than being rumoured to have been interested in everyone who can kick a ball and has a high price tag. Pretty much like Harry Redknapp during every break but it seems that all our signings were done since a long time and chances of anyone other than Chris Smalling and Javier Hernandez joining the ranks are rather slim. And just like last year, it doesn’t matter because our squad *is* strong already and the two only signings we made were sensible ones.

Last year I said:

Contrary to what most people have announced, we do not need any more new signings because ManUtd is already a stronger squad than last season, even after CR7 and Tevez left Old Trafford.
With the arrival of the talented Gabriel Obertan, Michael Owen, who signed on a free and Antonio Valencia’s arrival times certainly look great for the Red Devils.

Although at many times last season our vulnerabilities have been exploited, we must be honest and admit that the squad wasn’t weaker due to the departure of Cryboy and the Gelled Tumbler. What did happen though was that we struggled once more with a huge amount of injuries and these cost us lots. And to be honest, if I see one problem this season it’s in the defensive department again.

SAF says no more signings this summer. Does it matter? No, because we ARE a stronger squad already.

In a press conference at OT Sir Alex Ferguson presented the new signings and announced that ManUtd will not be spending any more money this summer.

Contrary to what most people have announced, we do not need any more new signings because MAnUtd is already a stronger squad than last season, even after CR7 and Tevez left Old Trafford.
With the arrival of the talented Gabriel Obertan, Michael Owen, who signed on a free and Antonio Valencia‘s arrival times certainly look great for the Red Devils.

There is no doubt that we will see a different United, still as fast and dangerous on the breakout but our attack will be different. There where Ronaldo loved to keep the ball and try to score as often as possible, his assist rate was rather one-sided and he would only pass when on the break out. Only seldom did he pass to Rooney or Berbatov when we had pushed the opponent in their 16 and were trying to find an opening. [Read more…]

Douglas Costa transfer to OT imminent?

costa

After initial negotiations for the Brazilian U20 international Douglas Costa were reported to have failed, a move seems to come closer every day now. ManUtd was said to offer the Brazilian a 3 weeks trial before wanting to finalize a move, but Gremio considered the player, who’s hailed as the new Robinho too good for a trial. Initial reports hinted at a £12m offer for the international but Gremio is holding out for around £20, close to the buy-out clause in the youngster’s contract. Negotiations are on going but we know the line, SAF gets who he wants. [Read more…]

Eto’o? Possibility or the most unreliable source needing a Sunday rumour?

By

eto

This comes from the most unreliable and untrustworthy source, The News of the World. I do not know if I even should take this serious on a Sunday morning, to me it seems like the perfect Sunday morning transfer talk rumour, but NOTW says that SAF is preparing a £25m bid for Cameroun striker Samuel Eto’o. What makes this rumour more unbelievable even is the mentioned £150k/week which would make the Barcelona striker the best player at ManUtd from his first day and be more then the £130k/week CR7 earned.

Eto’o has been mentioned in rumours in the past and he certainly would be a welcome addition to our (to any) squad, funnier even would be to snatch him from under the megamillions from Eastland, but with many titles and Champions League football that obviously isn’t too hard if the other town club only a blue carpet on offer has in the trophy room. Still I do not see it happen and will classify this as a typical ‘NOTW Sunday morning sensation entry’. If there’s any truth about this news, I will obviously welcome Samuel Eto’o with the biggest passion! ;)

Another tale ending.

The week full of stories and new more coming, we just have stay back and watch what these managers are baking in their heads. Massive signings from Real and  others its high time that we snatch players rather than to start a new tale for press.

Well first with Benzema, it was kind of impossible to take him away from Real.Zidane been one of the factor and also his no interest with our team. Huntelaar was also kind of same. It was pretty much sure that both these products were out of our reach compared to how we were approaching them.
I remember how Fergie used to handle new signings and making pretty sure that they don’t land else where but United.The brand name itself was the factor.For now all the big guns are in our rumor pages.
For now, according to latest news there’s one more to add on United’s misery. A.Madrid has disclosed that no attempt or any kind of offers have been made from United. And as such they are not interested in dealing their best players out of them. Also considering that , Augero doesn’t seem to be enticed with English clubs with his conference and has not shown any kind of gestures to our friendly hand. Rumours had that United were about to trade Augero with Nani plus 30 million in addition. But thats rumour and nothing new for united.
That keeps United up for search of a new strike partner .For now Augero looks too distant from OT.
So its yet another big name story  with United but nothing really looking on  deal. This has been the tale with United past season and it kind of looks scary.

PS:-Thank you,Franky from taking where i left.I hope to have good time with u.
