He's off.
"One team man". Pffff.
(At least he's a "big man")

[scouser]

I can't see Etoo going to United. He's a bit too old for Fergie, bit too expensive, would break the salary structure over there unless he took a big dip. I reckon Fergie will be in for someone rather less well known.

As for Liverpool, no frigging idea.

[big-will]

I think there's some personal hope in that assesment scouser.

I can't understand why more clubs don't seem to be in for Eto'o. He has an incredible goals/games ration. Great player. Very funny that he is turning his nose up at Citeh if we are to believe the rags.

[scouser]

May well be big-will.

His huge wage demands are probably a lot to do with it. Most clubs simply could not afford him.

He really seems to be putting himself in a corner there as well as burning those bridges. Haha.

Tevez to snub Chelsea and join Manchester City on £150,000 a week

Fools.

[BagOfCrisps]

This one's funny.

1547: Michael Owen will be paid over £50,000 a week by Newcastle for the rest of the month, even though he has already joined Manchester United.

[thursday]

Fools

[2pints,mate]

About Tevez, I hope that sort that out quite. Some relief would be most welcome! They must be off their rockers. Can't believe Chelsea are really interested especially with the numbers being thrown around.

Shock something in the mirror actually worth copying, er, quoting

Which brings me to Chelsea fans, who are currently panicking over John Terry.

Will he go to Manchester City if the club don't show enough "loyalty" by giving him a new contract worth £155,000 a week?

And if City come back in with a £35million offer, and they take it, what will outsiders think when Chelsea are unable to hold on to their backbone and talisman?

Well, taking a wild stab, I guess they'll think "Good on you." Terry is reportedly miffed that Roman Abramovich wasn't there in person to give him a rubdown with his cheque book when he turned up for training on Thursday.

With a bit of luck, the Russian was at home dictating the following letter to his "confused" captain: "Your Opta stats for the past three seasons say we've won 64 per cent of our games with you, but 68 per cent without you, and taken more points per game (2.32 compared to 2.16) when you weren't on the pitch.

Plus we've only lost one of the 28 games you've missed.

"Over that same period you've averaged 28 Premier League games and one Premier League goal per season. You're getting booked more and starting to look like an oil tanker doing a threepoint turn in Vladivostok harbour when you're up against pace.

"I'm wondering how much of our excellent defensive record is down to Petr Cech behind you, Michael Essien in front of you and the other three defenders alongside you?

"You're 29 this year. Your back's gone. You cost £6.5m in wages. And you're a centrehalf. I'll tell you what. I'll make Frankie captain, let Alex take your place, tell Carvalho he's staying, push Mancienne through the ranks and bite City's hands off for £35m. Go and live your dream with the Eastlands Arabs, my son."

Which would be one small step for Man City, but one giant leap for mankind.

[pie-eater]

Apparently Michael Owen is getting the No 7 shirt.
Curious.
And Fergie is saying no more signings this summer.

[BagOfCrisps]

Everyone other than City fans can rejoice - Tevez has signed for them.

Rafael Benitez is still battling to keep Javier Mascherano at Liverpool in the wake of Xabi Alonso making his position with the club virtually untenable.

Alonso is believed to have contacted the Liverpool manager and told him he wants to leave the club and join Real Madrid, but stopped short of asking for a transfer.

The Spain midfielder remarkably made the call less than 24 hours before he married his long-term girlfriend Nagore Aramburu in his home city of San Sebastian on Saturday, where the guests included former Liverpool team-mate Luis Garcia and Everton midfielder Mikel Arteta.

That plea to Benitez came as the Bernabeu giants stepped up their relentless pursuit of the 27-year-old, and although Benitez still does not want to sell, there seems little chance now that Alonso can remain a Liverpool player.

Looks like Alonso will be gone.
I sure hope Benetiz has some cunning plans lined up.


As for United, I must say I am happy they are not spending more.
Owen, number 7?!

[bobby12]

Fergie is putting on a fat bet on the 100-1 outsider.

[thursday]

I don't care what Fergie is up to, number 7 is sacred. Owen is not fit to even look at the back of it.

[bobby12]

Its being kept warm for next summers big signing.

[thursday]

I wonder if it's just a ploy for shirt collectors.

[BagOfCrisps]

He's just gone bonkers.

Carlos Tevez, who insists he can lead Manchester City to the Barclays Premier League title, will again pull on the No 32 shirt he wore at arch rivals United.

The man is totally disillusioned.
