Well, Fergie has a fairly decent record does he not.
I was never particularly wanting this to happen but now it has, I'm hoping that it turns out good.

Lets face it, last season he was playing in a crap team with no service.
He probably was disinterested - though that doesn't say much good about professionalism.
I'm sure in the 'Manchester variety of United' environment he'll have a much better chance of being what he once was.

We shall see.

Agree. The noise is getting louder as well.

Looks like Citeh are going to try to get Terry again. Their weakest point is defence, that would be a big coup.

Will this guy ever shut his big spouting gob?
What on earth can he gain from this?

Quote:
Carlos Tevez has branded Sir Alex Ferguson a "liar" - and vowed Premier League revenge on the Manchester United manager.

Tevez is set to be unveiled at Manchester City after turning down the chance to stay at Old Trafford.

And the Argentine hit-man blamed Fergie's "lies" over his status in the champions' squad after last year's £30million signing of Dimitar Berbatov for driving him out of United.

Now Tevez, a huge favourite with the United fans, has promised to make Ferguson pay for the insult.

Tevez, who rejected the chance to stay at United even though the club met his £25.5m asking price, said: "Ferguson still believes I will be at United next season. He thinks I will return.

"But I know what I want and I know that Ferguson did not respect me as a player. Before Berbatov arrived in Manchester, Ferguson told me, 'You will still be the starting striker, so be cool'. But he lied to me! That is why I know I will not return to United.

"What I want to do next season is score against United. I promise I will not celebrate in front of the United fans but I will shout in Ferguson's face.

"You can be sure of that - and it will be one of the most beautiful things I have done in football."

More very likely totally baseless gossip doing the rounds, but I'll post just for the shits and giggles:

Quote:
Manchester United are reportedly set to beat rivals Manchester City to the signature of Barcelona striker Samuel Eto’o.

The News of the World reports that the Cameroon international has decided he does not want to stay at Barca or join Man City and will instead head to Old Trafford.

The report claims that Eto’o is also ready to reduce his wage demands in order to become a Red Devil and link up with Sir Alex Ferguson.

Of course, neighbours City have made no secret of their desire to lure Eto’o, and were reported to have made a “monster bid” for the Barcelona striker.


Can't see that happening either.

Ronnie:

The newest Galactico, Cristiano Ronaldo, has revealed he had to quit Manchester United as he feared serious injury if he didn't.

Ronaldo cited the rough physical nature of the Premier League as one of the factors that convinced him to join the free-spending Spanish giants.

The Portugese superstar told Shortlist, "There are some teams who know they can't compete with you on a football level, so they just kick you.

"It's frustrating and something needs to be done to protect the skilful players because one day someone will get seriously hurt. I think more could be done to protect us but that is up to the referees to decide."

Despite his apparent happiness to leave the Premier League, Ronaldo revealed his affection for the city of Manchester and particularly for former boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

"I was a boy when I arrived at Manchester and now I'm leaving a man. This club and its fans will always have a place in my heart," he enthused.

From watching him at the Toon, I think Owen is finished as a top out and out striker and is best used "in the hole". Owen's best games for Newcastle were under Keegan in 2007-2008 when we played 4-3-3 with him behind Viduka and Martins. Owen played some nice forward passes and did some great ghosting in from deep. He was MOM in a few games. Apparently Eriksson wanted him to play deep for England years ago, but he would never cooperate.

Of course, that's where ManYoo have played Rooney so far. If Rooney goes center forward and can up his goal tally, maybe something can work. I won't comment on the stats, because I don't believe in assists. I think its a bit mickey mouse.

Tevez was seen in central Manchester yesterday handing out printouts of the following statement.

"I'm not bitter at all. Not one little bit. Really I don't care and I'm not bitter. They just made a big mistake and I'm not bitter and I really don't care. At all. Really. It's such a shame they didn't win the game in Rome, but it was their fault for not picking me and I'm not bitter about it at all. I'll seek revenge on Fergie but that doesn't mean I'm bitter. I'm fine. Really"

If you ask me those stats say more about Tevez than they do about Owen.

I've heard comments like "final nail in the coffin" and, well, some more colourful language. He's not too popular. The Mancs are having fun ribbing scousers over it too.

Who will be laughing in the end?

I'm rather more concerned about our own team right now.
