red devil

The lack of any real statement tonight from OT suggests there still might be a deal being worked out for him to stay. If that's the case he's going to have to eat a fooking great slice of humble pie...

A photographer friend recently puchased a 120-400 Sigma lens for his Nikon, and raves about it. You need to check on compability with your specific camera but here's a link to check out prices... 120-400 Sigma lens prices...

Rooney hasn't explained his reason(s), so I don't think we can pass judgement on him until he does. I hear what you say about Fabregas's yearning for Barca, Ronaldo was similar, the club he supported as a boy, a strong Iberain connection, he was quite upfront about it, and most Utd fans although sad to see him go wished him well in the end.

In what way did Fabregas behave properly, he openly courted a move to Barca, he told Arse in May that he wanted to leave, I don't recall him ever dispelling the stories...he didn't end up at Barca purely because they didn't meet Arse's ?50-60 million valuation...the only differenece I can see is that he still has 5 years left on his contract and that gives Arse a stronger bargaining tool...he turned up at Arse's pre-season open training session with his tail well and truly firmly between his legs...

His head has obviously been turned during the summer, probably at the World Cup if not before, might explain why he was so poor at the WC, his mind was elsewhere, now we just have to wait to find out why. I can't believe he would say he wanted to leave in Aug without having something lined up. My hunch is that it is Real Madrid, they probably need a year to get the deal financed properly. If it was Citeh, why wait, they've got the cash, they could've tied up a deal in days, well before the transfer deadline. I think Fergie came out of the conference with his and the club's heads held high, metaphoricaly if not physically. The pressure is now on Rooney's 'representatives' to try and put some sort of positive spin on why he wants to leave, my guess is that they will cite the lack of investment in marquee signings, something which most Utd fans will sympathise with. Fergie had said during the previous summer that there was no value in the market, not so this summer with the likes of Ozil, Di Maria, Khedira, Van der Vaart, all moving for relatively conservative sums. I hope for the sake of the club it doesn't get messy, and I hope for my sanity he doesn't end up at Citeh...

I wasn't stressing that Kathy Burke is a 'minger' as your posts suggests. The OP uses the moniker Waynetta and starts a thread entitled Mingers, therein lies the irony...lesson over* *Sarcasm

As Simon points out, in his current state of mind he's no good to anyone. But to answer your question, who does Rooney need? I think most neutrals would agree he is at the right club with the right manager. If he were to go then the club would need to find a replacement, personally speaking Benzema would soften the blow. However, this is all speculation about speculation, but there is no way he would end up at Citeh, there would be civil war, if he thinks he's got problems now...

Rooney's statement last week about not being injured was a public smack in the face to Fergie and the club who had tried to protect him when the lurid stories about his private life surfaced. His current form does not merit a first team place, at the moment he seems to even have difficulty with basic ball retention skils...Utd fans would be gutted to see him go but no player is bigger than the club.

That's fantastic news Mick, well done! Next weeks Scoop 6 selections please...

Don't be daft Woofty, it's a cheeeeese...stupid boy!

Can I be the first to predict they'll be another boom, fook knows when though...

You can 'do Obama'...but would that be racist though? http://www.moonbattery.com/obama-ecstasy.jpg

Ridgley, you sound like a suitable case for referral... typo edit

"The Board decided to accept NESV's proposal on the basis that it best met the criteria we set out originally for a suitable new owner.'' - Martin Broughton Anna, do you know what the 'criteria' is?

Well if that were the case then maybe there's no pressure on them to sell...I did read a couple of weeks ago that RBS had forwarded the Yanks loan to their 'bad debt division', which is a precursor to calling the debt in, but don't know how much credence that article carried...I think it might have been the Grauniad :)

Mick the closer it gets to the 15th, the less likely someone will come in and make a good offer, they know that if RBS call in the debt they will get the club for a lot less eventually, why bother making a good offer now?

Woofty likes to lick his blankety blank...

Neither of the offers would give the Yanks a profit from their original investment...like the Glazers they only came in to make a profit, certainly not for the love of the game or the club...the best thing that could happen is for RBS to call in their loan on the 15th, the club goes into administration and you get a 9 point penalty, that way at least you are rid of the Yanks, someone will come in and buy the club for a lot less, so instead of giving their money now to the Yanks just so they can leave with a profit, that money can be invested in players and maybe a new stadium...bit of a scary ride but worth it in the end IMO. One thing I am certain of is that Liverpool will be sorted long before we ever get rid of the leeching Glazers...LUHG

C'mon Keef, my post was very much tongue in cheek, although I hate using them perhaps in hindsight I should've added a winking smiley... http://www.theamericanmind.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/smileywink.jpg
