I know we've had a couple of transfer 'tug of wars' recently - Tevez & Hargreaves spring to mind. But we don't play the media game in the same way that Madrid do...& Fergie certainly doesn't start talking about another teams player in the way Schuster is doing in the Press at the minute. We're not 'whiter than white' when it comes to signing players, of course we're not....but nobody is as sneaky & corrupt as Real Madrid. They really do take it to a new level. I'd love to think Ronaldo will tell them to £#%&! off, but I can't see that happening. |

united should report them and insist on action, not £#%&! about with public statements (though fergie's franco comment was a cracker - shame he didn't add something about the dodgy land deal with madrid city authorities as well). it's an open and shut case ffs. |

Is this any different to when we leaked to the press every day that we wanted Stan Collymore or Dwight Yorke or even David Hirst? We were more than happy for players to know United were in for them and yet we just accept this. We've been doing this for years and the last example was Owen Hargreaves. I can't remember exactly how public we were about Rooney although I remember T Ho telling the world he'd signed when he hadn't.

I'm not sure that this is the newspaper stuff that they're objecting to.
I think Schuster's TV interview is the thing, and it is almost certain that FIFA would throw the book at them if United reported them, simply because he is talking about Ronaldo as if he has already signed. United have never done that, with any players. No matter what the underhand tactics are that we employ, you never hear Ferguson talking about his plans for a player and how he will react to playing for United. Especially not after we have been royally £#%&!ed off by the club we are trying to buy from. And, before anyone sites the Hargreaves deal, that was different circumstances, the deal was in place, then Bayern pulled the plug, pissing off both United and Hargreaves himself, who reacted in the press leading to Ferguson continually being asked about him, directly. |
