An unexpected move from Newcastle to United, Michael owen has signed wih united with a 2 year contract. Over at Real Madrid, they have signed another player Benzema and about to sign Ribery, both players Man United were targetting in the transfer season have or about to settle in a Real. After Ronaldo, Kaka, Benzeam plus Ribery Real Madrid would have already spent over 300 million australian dollars on new players. Crazy. Back at United it is quiet, Fergie was expected to spend big but so far has only bought 2 players, Valencia and Owen to fill the gaps left by Ronaldo and Tevez.
Here are the changes so far:
IN (To the First team)
Owen (From Newcastle)
Valencia (From Wigan)
OUT
Ronaldo (To Real for alot of money!!!!!! 162 Million AU)
Tevez (Unknown side, most likely City for between 30- 65 million)
Possebon (on loan to Sporting Braga)
Rumours
INS
Josh Thompson
Andre-Pierre Gignac
Luis Fabiano
Nilmar
Iker Casillas
Ashley Young
Douglas Costa
Sergio Aguero
David Silva
OUTS
Van der Sar (AT THE END OF THE SEASON COMING)
Vidic (He has confirmed he is not leaving but Barca aren't giving up)
Nani (says he wants to be the clubs kicktaker so won't leave)
Fraizer Campbell (good chance)
Darron Gibson (good chnce but hope not)
Danny Simpson (an extremely good chance)
Gary Neville (confirmed he isn't)
and Scholesy (the most funniest claim, he will Captain Coach at Stoke)
glory glory man united. Hopefully we pick up Cassillas because they reckon Van der Sar has one season left. At one stage when Man U lost Tevez and Ronaldo i was singing- Gory Gory man United, Gory Man United but now we can stick the l in it cos we back on track with the signing of valencia and Owen.
New Comp for everyone-
The Question is........ What Shirt Number will Michael Owen be wearing at man United.
The prize is unknown. Put ur nuber guesses below. 2 per person. No's up to 50....
I will PM everyone soon who hasn't seen this thread. I have taken 32 and 7
How will u feel when he pulls his groin in the 2nd training run and is out for 3 mths.
Owen is a spent force and won't last the season without getting hurt.....I'd still be worried if I were u....I'm an unabashed City fan and think this offseason is gonna be huge for a lot of teams...SAF has missed out on a lot of players he wanted. I know Owen can finish, but he'll break for sure, especially with the amount of games MU play...
As for City
In's
Gareth Barry for $12 mill,
Some backup keeper for sweet fa
Roque Santa Cruz for $18 mill....
Looks like Tevez for $25-30 mill,
Fingers crossed for Eto'o for plenty...
Also chasing Lescott, Toure and at a stretch John Terry....
Outs - Sturridge the greedy w&*(&*(r to Chelsea
plenty more after Hughes sorts out who he gets.
