don't they just mean the animal though?Can we take a break from the cock thing for at least one summer? I'm feeling inadequate.

It's not just you. I get a strong, headache-triggering, feeling of deja vu on every single page. He loves Madrid! He wouldn't stay with us 'til the end of time! He's not proven in the Premiership!Is it just me or are all these conversations constantly being recycled? Everyone is just discussing the same points again and again.. FFS do people even read what is posted in the thread atleast back to a day or 2 ago?
I would say it would look very similar to what you have posted.My gut feeling is that he'll be playing here nexxt season. It just has those early indicators that you can get when these transfers are about to happen. It also makes a lot of sense. He COULD be a fantastic signing!
I reckon it'll be for marginally over half the Ronaldo money. Hopefully a decent chunk of that will be on apppearance/success bonuses. e.g 33 million Euro's + 10 million bonuses.
Hypothetically, how would our team look and play with him in the side?
------- Carrick - Anderson
Valencia -- Berbatov -- Rooney
---------- Benzema
???
Well said, it was also common knowledge that Michael Essien wanted to play for us before he went to Chelsea.Christ, are we only going to sign players willing to pledge the rest of their career to us? It's just not gonna happen. Are you aware that Solskjær was a Liverpool supporter? He was a paying member of their norwegian supporter club. Two years after he signed he turned down a very good offer from Tottenham even though the club were happy to sell him. People change. Ronaldo stayed for six years winning a bucketload of trophies and earning us a profit of £68M, not to bad I would say.
Good. On that basis Ribery is a must signing. hee hee watch anti muppet comments spring upWell said, it was also common knowledge that Michael Essien wanted to play for us before he went to Chelsea.
I hope not, it's why I've always felt we needed to sign a winger even if Ronaldo was sold, so now he is sold, I feel we need two, that way we can as much as possible ensure that Rooney is released into his best position, and not wasted on the left.I would say it would look very similar to what you have posted.
I am not saying that is what I would want. But surely it would be what SAF is going to play if we signed a player like Benzema.I hope not, it's why I've always felt we needed to sign a winger even if Ronaldo was sold, so now he is sold, I feel we need two, that way we can as much as possible ensure that Rooney is released into his best position, and not wasted on the left.
I'd be surprised if played in his 'best position' under Sir Alex all that much before he retires.I hope not, it's why I've always felt we needed to sign a winger even if Ronaldo was sold, so now he is sold, I feel we need two, that way we can as much as possible ensure that Rooney is released into his best position, and not wasted on the left.
Sensible post of the year and spot on. This is the reason I rarely go into the transfer forum. It's just full of complete and utter nonsenseChrist, are we only going to sign players willing to pledge the rest of their career to us? It's just not gonna happen.

Do you think his main purpose for playing Berbatov in a more deep role last season was because he knew Ronaldo would leave and he had ideas about bringing in a out and out goal scorer?I'd be surprised if played in his 'best position' under Sir Alex all that much before he retires.
There's a reason he bought Berbatov and Tevez, two players who are better behind the striker.
I'm not so sure about that, was only last summer he was saying he needed to play Rooney there. He's clearly our best attacking player now, the attack needs to be built in particular around him, and to do that best, he should be centralI'd be surprised if played in his 'best position' under Sir Alex all that much before he retires.

Could well be.Do you think his main purpose for playing Berbatov in a more deep role last season was because he knew Ronaldo would leave and he had ideas about bringing in a out and out goal scorer?
I don't think we need to build the attack around everyone.I'm not so sure about that, was only last summer he was saying he needed to play Rooney there. He's clearly our best attacking player now, the attack needs to be built in particular around him, and to do that best, he should be central
I don't believe that Ferguson hasn't seen how well he's playing for England behind a striker, with the freedom to control the game.
firstly, it would be very odd for united to declare and confirm an interest, we are not real madrid.Why all the muppetry? We have not made an offer, nor have we even declared our interest.
The only fatcs here is that Benzema has said he'd like to stay at Lyon.
Other facts:Why all the muppetry? We have not made an offer, nor have we even declared our interest.

Ferguson probably admires a lot of stikers. That doesnt mean we are signing them.Other facts:
- Ferguson is known to be an admirer of Benzema's talent
- We have a hefty transfer kitty
- We have only two senior strikers
You're deludedHeheh, I'm not really one of those to have their cocks out, but I believe Benzema to United is a strong possibility.
To be fair Lyon have mentioned Manchester United on more than one occasion and subtly invited us to make a bid.You're deluded
The only strong possibility thus far is Valencia. As we have declared interest and made a bid. Every other player you lot are wanking over is paper talk
Blair, it's just that it is almost certain we'll be in for a new striker this summer, and unless Fergie pulls a rabbit out of the hat (by signing a player we knew little about, like in Ronaldo's case) then surely there aren't too many strikers available at the moment that we would be interested in buying - with Benzema fitting the bill perfectly.You're deluded

He's fantastic imo. Seen him at least 30 odd times over the last few years. Best young centre forward I've seen since Adriano in his Parma/early-Inter period about five years ago.Is he even that good? I haven't watched him enough to make any judgement though.
How many of you watch Ligue 1 regularly except Kouroux?
I do hope you are right, he looks a class player. Although the French league is not the most demanding.............Blair, it's just that it is almost certain we'll be in for a new striker this summer, and unless Fergie pulls a rabbit out of the hat (by signing a player we knew little about, like in Ronaldo's case) then surely there aren't too many strikers available at the moment that we would be interested in buying - with Benzema fitting the bill perfectly.
Lyon inviting us to make a bid as they know we are desperate for a striker and we have £80m+ in the bank?To be fair Lyon have mentioned Manchester United on more than one occasion and subtly invited us to make a bid.
They basically say "Benzema is staying...But what can we do if Manchester United bid"
He will be expensive, but we can't really complain considering the killing we just made on Ronaldo. 35million will probably get him, and if he reaches his potential then if he leaves we will again make a killing.Lyon inviting us to make a bid as they know we are desperate for a striker and we have £80m+ in the bank?
All this shit drives the price up too.
I agree with this.I do hope you are right, he looks a class player. Although the French league is not the most demanding.............
I hope we sign him, but at this stage we have no real basis to get all excited.
He is 21 right?He's fantastic imo. Seen him at least 30 odd times over the last few years. Best young centre forward I've seen since Adriano in his Parma/early-Inter period about five years ago.
you're right about the staying with Lyon, but his agent has said they will look at any bid Manchester United make and the only noises coming from Lyon over the last few days have been Manchester United related (despite their claim he is staying)I agree with this.
If anything, the opposite, since the only noises from Benzema and his agent have been about how Spain is his preferred destination and that he wants to stay another year at Lyons regardless.
Probability rating; 2/10
If you were a bookie I would make a bet with you, considering how good the odds would be...I agree with this.

I do. He obviously got what it takes to play for United, he's strong, quick on his feet, tall, skillfull, good finisher, he has everything a striker needs to have.Is he even that good? I haven't watched him enough to make any judgement though.

I'm crap at odds. And probabilities.If you were a bookie I would make a bet with you, considering how good the odds would be...
Yes he's 21 and yes he's said, or at least his agent anyway, that he would like to stay until after the world cup.He is 21 right?
And, didn't he say he wants to stay for another year in France until after the WC? I doubt we will get him anyway.
