    well no, but theres nothing happening in the transfer market at the moment so its a bit of fun for a few days. The only reason SkyBet slashed the odds was due to a bet of £200 at 66/1,thats a liability of over 13 grand, so skybet had to respond, although they did over react a bit making it 8/13 on! Strange that this story came out on the same day as Rafa's press conference, where he talked about clubs spending crazy money and being unable to compete. unless it was the ultimate bluff?;)

    Exactly my friend :) I've got Ribery 7 on the back of my shirt already!

    Sky Sports | Football | News | Rummenigge - Ribery will stay Rummenigge - Ribery will stay Bayern Munich president hopeful of playmaker's stay Bayern Munich president Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is optimistic that Franck Ribery will be at the club for the first game of the season. The French playmaker has been the subject of persistent transfer speculation this summer, with Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United,Chelsea and Liverpool all linked with the star. But Rummenigge believes the 26-year-old international with stay with the Bundesliga outfit beyond the summer. He told Sport1: "The media should be very grateful as there has been no better subject than Franck Ribery and Bayern this summer. Completely relaxed "Our opinion has not changed in respect to Ribery. I am completely relaxed and I can say that from the start we have always felt that he would stay. "I am optimistic that Franck will be with us for our first game of the season against Hoffenheim. "Bayern has the last word and our view is very firm and we are not going to speak about this every day."

    We are now 2/1 Bayern are 6/5 I wonder why? :(

    To be cut from 66/1 to 8/13 on, there must have been huge amounts of money for it, more than it would cost to buy Ribery outright! that graphic everyones showing could surely be photoshopped, where would we get the money to sign Ribery? Plus not one single mention of this on Sky sports News!

    As much as i'd like to see David Villa here, we're priced out of buying him, Barcelona or Man United both want him and have much more to spend than we do.

    Is there any fee mentioned for Lucio? bearing in mind he's 31 and the top European League he's played in is the German League, i'd imagine about 20 million? a very underated player in my opinion but wether he could cut it in the premiership now though is another matter.

    The move doesn't make any sense at all. Owen needs to be playing week in week out to get fit and win back his much beloved england shirt, yet he'll be a bit part player at best for Man U, lucky to play 20 games? For Man U and the likes of Wellbeck Macheda, it shows that Fergie really doesn't rate them that highly or he would of used them in Owens place!
  9. Megadrive Man
    Look at it this way. They've sold Tevez and Rooney and replaced them with Owen and Valencia!
  10. Megadrive Man
    just heard they are also lineing up Darren Anderton and Jamie Redknapp too! Maybe we should make an offer for Nicky Butt to get back at them?

    We had bids accepted for Anderson from both Forest and Swansea but Anderson only wanted to go to Forest. Not sure on the fee but would hope its more than 250,000! After speaking to two mates that are Forest Season ticket holders, they both rated Anderson but said he lacked the final ball and the constancy to play at the very top level, and doubted he ever be good enough to play in the premiership.

    Agency work is very unreliable in my experience.

    Oh dear, some of the comments! They all seem to think he's scottish!
  15. Megadrive Man
    Does anyone think that due to his lack of pace, and the possibility of Xabi leaving, Riera maybe could play more central next season and we could use the money on a world class wide player?
  16. Megadrive Man
    It would be a huge loss if its true, even if we get 30 million for him. Last year I would have been content with Alonso leaving and Barry coming in. (big mistake as it turned out!) But this summer I was glad when Barry went To Man City as I thought it would mean Alonso would not be sold. If he does go he will need replacing, and with Barry now not an option, I cant think of many alternatives. Does anyone think Riera could play a more central role next season, and we could spend the money of a wide player?
  17. Megadrive Man
    If They get one of Eto'o or Tevez, which I think they will, most likely Tevez then this would be there strongest team next year :- Given Zabaleta Kompany Richards Bridge De Jong Barry Tevez Ireland Robinho Santa Cruz subs, Bellamy, Jo, Caicedo,Elano, Petrov, Onuoha,Taylor quite a strong squad really, although only Robinho would be considered good enough for our first team, and his attitude and consistency leave much to be desired. I think they will be 6th this year, behind the usual suspects plus Spurs, but ahead of Villa and Everton. They must sort out there back four, Richard Dunne to Sunderland is a step in the right direction.

    At the very least It would guarantee no more 0-0 draws with stoke
  19. Megadrive Man
    90 grand a week!!! 17 and a half million!!! how? why? Rick Parry? I need answers!!!!
  20. Megadrive Man
    Essien, Mascherano, Alonso and Gerrard across the middle, Villa, Silva, Torres and Kuyt up front with Carragher and Skrtel at the back with Pepe in goal we can rotate Kuyt with Agger depending on the strength of the opposition. could work? might cost a bit!

    Well he's certainly not coming here! Sky Sports | Football | News | Tevez rules out Reds move Carlos Tevez has ruled out a summer move to Liverpool, Sky Sports News sources have learned. The Argentina international, who has spent the last two seasons on loan with Manchester United, has emerged as a transfer target for a quartet of Premier League clubs. United have first option to sign the striker, whose registration is owned by a company rather than another club, but Tevez has indicated he is not happy at Old Trafford after seeing his starting options restricted this season. That has caused a scramble for his services with Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea all credited with an interest in the former West Ham favourite. However, Sky Sports News sources have been informed that a move to Anfield is not an option for Tevez. That leaves the Red Devils, their local rivals City and London outfit Chelsea battling it out to secure the energetic forward's signature for next season.

    If Madrid are prepared to go to 30 million for Alonso, Would 20 million plus Sneijder or van der Vaart be a good deal? Also If Glen Johnson is being paid for by the sales of Arbeloa, Dossena and Crouchy, the Alonso deal would give us an extra 20 million to spend. Which could signal a 35 million pound move for David Villa! or David Silva at the very least. I really don't want to sell Xabi though, but I think he is the most valuable of the players that could possibly be sold, which I presume is also Rafa's thinking. Also, seeing as I don't watch La Liga, what are peoples opinions on Sneidjer and Van der Vaart, who is the better player? Who in this scenario would be the better replacement for Xabi?
  23. Megadrive Man
    Anything more than 7 or 8 million is way too much for Glen Johnson. Fullbacks won't make the difference as to whether we win the league or not, especially seeing as Rafa likes his defenders to defend first rather than attacking down the flanks. For this reason alone I cannot see Johnson fiiting in here. We've got Arbeloa and Aurelio plus Darby and Insua, with limited funds available we should stick with these four players, plus surely Degan will get a game ot two if he can stay fit for 5 minutes! I'd be happy this summer if we kept most of the squad from last year with one or two quality additions. David Silva for 25 million and Dossena to Juventus for 6 million, with Pennant and Hyypia off the wage bill.

    Whilst we're on the subject of Americans who haven't quite lived up to the hype, Whats happened to Freddy Adu? According to my version of football manager he should be the second most expensive player in the world in 5 years time and playing for Barcelona via Valencia.

    Celtic are a much bigger club than West Brom! I thought Celtic might have gone for a manager with European experience though. Someone who could push them on in the Champions League. Sven Goran Eriksson is still out of work but I presume he would cost too much, even the likes of Roy Hodgson and dare I say it. Steve Mclaren would have been better choices in my opinion.
