looks like sneijder/robben move is on

http://www.guillembalague.com/rumore...neijder&id=232



word!

the rumour suggesting that Sneijder is close to a move to Manchester United is without foundation: the Dutch international is on the verge of agreeing a five year deal with Inter Milan.

Real Madrid have received no offers for the Dutch winger from Manchester United

Do you work for the Mirror?

Exciting times.

I hope Guilleme Balague steps on a plug in bare feet.

when he re-releases big girls

Here's what Balague said on 12th May. What the £#%&! does he know?

the Kaka signing was common knowledge

It was also common knowledge that if they could convince United to sell then Ronaldo would move to Real

Alonso had also made noises in that direction, echoed in Spain, since the Barry farce last summer

And the Valencia deal was common knowledge


So in short Ballague offered absolutely zero inside information on any of those deals, as indicated by the fact that he got the value and priority of all four pieces of business wrong by the looks of that

No one thought they would get Ronaldo and Kaka. One or the other maybe but not both. There are plenty of common knowledge transfers that don't come off. I'm still waiting for Shearer to be unveiled.

yeah, but be fair.... carrick is still an idiot.

Where the hell would Robben fit into our team? Nani is our new left winger.

er? by may 12th? they were £#%&!ing minted by then weren't they? can't recall exactly but there was talk of huge "investment" around the time they got done by the vermin iirc


the common knowledge bit is fairly true I suppose, but the examples of Shearer and Valencia are pretty daft bearing in mind those deals were talked about openly by the respective chairmen, Walker and Whelan. i don't count stories rattling around the media as common knowledge unless they're backed up by trustworthy mouthpieces. so Whelan (friend of United and English football) saying Valencia will go to United if the price is right pretty much guarantees exactly that.

he would fit in when we want to play an utterly one-dimensional no tricks midfield: robben - fletch - park - valencia. what a cure for insomnia. rooney would go to real if that happened.

4-4-2 is the way forward. It worked in 99.
