I believe Ribery said that he wouldn't play in the U.K. because of the climate. Not 100% sure on that though

^ Maybe we'll need Patrice and Eric to persuade him...
What other options are there? Benzema's always been Sir's fav, but he's a striker... I guess you can always move Rooney to the wings, but clearlyits not his best position.

It's finally happened...4 years in the making.
Valencia rejected Chelsea's offer which only means one thing...Villa is on his way to Real as well.
Lets see if Real have any money left over for some defensive players.
This is going to make the Premiership, La Liga and the UCL 100x more exciting next season. Man Utd. just lost their best player which'll open the titlerace up. Real are expected to make pose a serious challenge to Barca and with that lineup, Real Madrid will have to atleast make the UCL semi-finals.
I wonder if this puts pressure on Barca to make some moves. Ribery on Barca's left wing would look great with Thierry Henry being the first option off thebench.

They hate it when you tell them that. An "elite" striker who's never scored more than 16 goals in a season. He's never beenhealthy for a full season either. Lets see if he can score 20-goals with Ronaldo out of the way.

Well, now that Ronaldo might go to Real, maybe we'll get Ribery.

stick to your baseball...dont just come in here with your sh...
and search the thread please...i've commented on that in the earlier pages...
anyway,it's a long footballing season...surely you can't expect the same level of intensity from each player for 9mths straight...
with that in mind,i think Rooney's done pretty well...
he bagged 20 goals in all competitions this season,18 goals last season,and 23 goals in 06-07...
and during that time,United won 3 back-to-back EPL titles and 1 European Cup...
but i do admit that Wazza's put on some weight though...

Florentino Perez knows what hes doing. Although, I believe this is move was facillitated by Ramon Caldeorn last summer with the pre-contract. I just don'tbelieve that Florentino Perez skipped negotiations and settled for 80 Million pounds. Calderon signed the pre-deal last summer which is why CR was so quick toforget his ambition to leave United because he was promised he would leave the next. The same agreement that would penalize either side 30m pounds if theybacked out. Staggering, absolutely staggering fee. Still, he'll pay for himself.

Real Madrid can't be serious with these signings. They don't need Ronaldo anymore (marketing yes, championship no). They need a defense so theydon't get trumped 6-1 at home to Barcelona again.

Against Andorra, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Croatia (only legit opponent)...
We'll see what Rooney does this coming season. He's going to be the centre-piece of Man Utd's offense now so there shouldnt be any excuses if hefails to bag 20 goals in the Premiership (no one cares about the FA Cup, World Club Championships, Carling Cup, etc.).

Hmmm...it's starting to make sense now. So Real Madrid + Man Utd. had an agreement in principle last summer that would have Ronaldo play for Man Utd. 1 more season and then have him move to Real Madrid this summer? The 30m pound penalty sounded ludicrous to me at first, now I understand why it was put in place.Originally Posted by Carlos Tevez

Both sides should be happy, Real Madrid got one of the top 2 players in the world and Man Utd. get 80m pounds. I know that Ribery said he doesnt want to go to England but maybe he changes his mind. Also, is it possible that Man Utd. makes a move for Benzema, Ibrahimovic, Pato, Aguero, etc.? Maybe Tevez changes his mind and returns back to the club. If they dont make any moves this summer, I have them as equal to Chelsea + Liverpool and slightly better than Arsenal. Man Utd's defense is still amazing so even if they have trouble scoring, they'll still be in good position to win most matches since they dont concede too many goals.
I'm surprised that Liverpool have been so quiet so far. They're 1-2 players away from being super powers in Europe.
how about that goal vs. russia...stop talking garbage about rooney....goals dont matter if the team wins the league two years in a row and hesplaying left wing.

if real madrid get villa too there should be an * next to their ucl title next year if they win it. its just getting ridiculous. on the other hand it will beeven funnier if they fail to win it.
as pointed out on the forums though will c.ron's ego be able to handle not being the biggest/only huge star? how long will his tenure at rm be? i say 4years.
also its not a guarentee by a longshot that 100% of the £80m will be made avail for transfers. I mean hopefully most of it will be but we dont know yet. idstill like to see benzema and ribery bought. if not ribs then maybe silva. eto'o or zlatan sound good as well.

From what I hear, the fee will be paid in 4 annual installments (20m gpb each.) I feel better about it. I don't get why wer'e still linked to Ribery.Unless Florentino wants to sell Arjen Robben. The defensive reinforcements will come. For me, Xabi Alonso is a key target who became much more difficult afterCity swooped Barry. Frequently linked to Maicon, Albiol, Bruno Alves, Marcano. to name a few. Then theres Ricardo Carvalho who is on the outs at Chelsea. It isstill early in the window, plenty of time.

Goals do matter when your country doesn't score enough of them to qualify for a major tournament like... the European championships.
Rooney is one of the only players that I HATE passionately.
