The Telegraph reports that we negotiated a $9 mil fee for Gerami while we were in Madrid. I have great faith in the Telegraph so believe this could be true. A replacement for Keane?
Gerami

No quotes from that article.
Heh Heh, I posted on Geremi quite a few months ago and said that he would be a good back-up for Beckham or Gary Neville...basically down the right.
I haven't really watched too many Boro' games, but from what I've seen, he's more a flair player than a combative Keano sort.

Ye, I don't have a quote but its on the back page of the Daily Mail, who don't usually print crap.
It basically says that SAF met up with Geremi in Spain before the Madrid game, to discuss terms.
£8million I think he would be a cracking signing.

£9m I read.
But why? Do we need to firm up the midfield?

Yes.I think we need a change up, Sir Alex has been making changes to our united team the hole time his been the boss and thats what has keeped us on the top. I think his in that position again. So i think it should be out with the old and in with the new.No disrespect to the players i think who ever leaves will find suitable clubs but we need the edge, payers that little bit better.
when boro were at OT this season, he was crap.
Becks was crap in Madrid to. If that's the case who's going to buy Giggs .
Jaysus, everyone has an off day or two.
Exactly my point.
Zidane on the 21/04/99 is also a good case. He was far better 2 weeks earlier when we just about kept ourselves in that with a late Giggs goal. He wasn't the same player in the 2-3 match.
BBC's on to this one as well.
"...United are understood have opened negotiations with Real, with boss Sir Alex Ferguson earmarking Geremi as the man to boost his midfield next season.
Ferguson is attracted by Geremi's goalscoring versatility across all the midfield positions, particularly with captain Roy Keane's massive influence starting to wane."

Still think 2 strikers/wingers will arrive this summer and that's with the utmost priority. Wonder a CD will be a requirement too else I would think Geremi is possible ... But for 9mil at current market - well ... I was thinking we will probably have better player than tat. Summer spending that is "confirmed" on my book :
Bellion - 1.5mil (don bargain, jst give - McCarthy needs that very very very much <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> )
Vassel - 5mil
:Bellion - 1.5mil (don bargain, jst give - McCarthy needs that very very very much <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> )
Vassel - 5mil
Vassel? Interesting... I was thinking about that the other day after the England match... SGE must see something special in him, and he's definitely got the pace we've been after.
I like Geremi but either Keano will retire or move into defence and Butt will be sold to accommodate him. It doesn't say much for Fergie's faith in Butt really if he is going to buy for the midfield unless Veron is on his way cos Geremi is certainly not the Beckham type to be crossing balls over.
We need to have 4 specialist central midfielders on our books, what with injuries and suspensions.
no thanks
Geremi plays on the right for boro ? and seems to have had a very good season for them, certainely seemed to be on scroing run earlier in the year.
here's an interesting one....I don't really think it myself...but it makes more sense than Geremi being a direct replacment for Keano....what if Geremi played on the right and Becks moved into the middle ????
Anyway I think we're all writing Keano off to soon...

Sadly, there is no doubt that we need a new defensive midfielder of Keane's class (when he was in his prime).
Geremi ain't it, though.

He's had a good season with Boro, and looks a decent enough player but... How can we expect to catch Real Madrid if we buy their cast offs.
To counter balance my own argument Siddy got rid of Giggs cos he wasnt good enough.
