I'm following this thread at 0430 in the morning from a Blackberry.
Why not? Bigger changes have happened...
But no I don't legit think it was possible to get all 3 or realistically ever one of them I never really implied that either, but we still should of gotten maybe at least one of them, and with getting one of them leads to the sale of the whichever of the players I said.
What about the fact that certainly Villa and now seemingly Ozil only had any interest in playing in Spain?
well put.
I doubt we will bid although he would give us quality on the left side. He'd do what giggs/park does (play on the left but tuck in more centrally, without the defensive workrate of park) currently does but fergie will likely see the season out with park, giggs, nani, obertan and cleverly for the role and then if he hasnt moved and negioate a him on a free.
I am at 5am from an iPhone!
Brother from another mother!
Key word - "seemingly", so basically you or I or anyone really doesn't know whether they'd want to play in England or not if it was a realistic option to them.
On the flip side of that coin, one could argue that having a world class option in central midfield might have seen United win the league by five points.
That story is based on the nonsense that Ozil's people have already denied.
If the prices quoted are true then the money is clearly not the issue. I mean we can afford it whatever you think about the Glazers.
Either he doesn't want to come here or SAF is simply not interested because he thinks our youngsters are good and Ozil won't significantly improve us. And with SAF's record who is to argue with him really.
I'd love Ozil here. I think he'd freshen our team immensely and it would be nice to get one of the most sought after players in Europe once in a long time but i'll trust the manager on this one.

This has been an emotional rollercoaster, I feel physically drained.
Barca are seriously trying to hog all the talent!
But nothing has happened? I can see this still going on for a bit.

people are going on as if ozil is some amazing player who is on par on messi. Hes not. An on form rooney shits all over ozil, and dare i say, an on form berba does to.
They have? Do elaborate.
An on form Berba shits over 97% percent of the world's footballers.
So what have I missed, has he signed for anybody yet?
Go to sleep lads. Nothings going to happen at this hour.
Did I say that we didn't want Ozil? I was thinking more of general muppetry than just this instance to be honest, we get linked to a lot of players the post would cover.
As for Ozil. I like him, think he'll become a cracking player and is a bargain at 8m, not sure where he'd play in our system exactly though as i'm not sure he could play in a central 2.
Your last paragraph is kind of contradictary, we should be interested and then you say he won't want to join us anyway, so what is the point? I'll just leave it to the man who has won us so much over the last few decades.
Hearing reports coming out of Radio Bremen that the weather is 16.1 degrees.
Any rain?
I'm perplexed; notch in Barca's column or ours?
Sunny, cloudy, nippy and a few others, yes. Never heard the weather being described as '16.1 degrees.' Typical Germans.

just spoke to sources close to Özil. they have no knowledge of a deal with Barca. about 3 hours ago via web
I guess he means that
Who is saying this? I'm pretty certain, without reading the 99 pages prior to the first one i posted in that people aren't going this overboard. He's an available player at what seems a ridiculously cheap price, proven, plays for a physical nation with players who are known for their strong mentality and already has a good(or better depending on who your speaking too) world cup under his belt. And he's only 21.
You know a off-form Berbatov is probably better than 97% of the world's professional footballers considering what you seen is only like 0.5% or even less, so that's not really a flattering sentence

Of course you are smart enough to understand that I am implying, when I say world footballers, those who are pretty known to us and that we can watch regularly. When we say that Messi is the best footballer in the world, we did not take him and compare him to every single one.
Anyway, Berbatov is definetly up there in terms of talent and when on-form can easily pretend to be in the top 10.
Yeah, but that was three hours ago. In the world of football transfers, much can happen at 01.30...
Well this is horrible news about Ozil and a move to Barca. Not because we won't get him bit because this thread might end before getting to 1,000,000 views.
Hard to believe there's a 100-page long thread, about a player that 95% of the people in here hadn't ever mentioned before the WC, and a player we've never once suggested we're interested in this summer.
At least the Benzema thread made sense...we were in fact interested in him.
This is just bizarre. It must be incredibly depressing in here?

The best we've seen of Berbatov so far in his career isn't even top 50 really so what makes you think he's a potential top 10 player?
It's fairly obvious United are in for him after Fergie yesterday, no?
(I'm new to this thread, so I assume that's been discussed to death already)
Well I've not been in the thread for the last 80-odd pages so I'm as out of the loop as you I reckon!
What did Sir Alex do/say yesterday that I missed?
You do realise when this thread was started, right? And that we have been confirmed to have been in for him before he joined Bremen?
Come on. Every year need its august transfer muppetry. This year have been especially lean (no one saw the Hernandez deal until it was done.) The result is that we have to fill the void ourselves.
Don't worry, the muppetry will run its natural route, reaching its peak on Aug. 31st, and then it will be time to focus on the football.
I also realise I was one of the few people on this forum to talk about him before this World Cup, in this very thread.
He was hardly talked about before the WC, with the only time anyone from here (besides the few Germans) talked about him in any depth when he played in the u21s. And there were a few people who talked about him then, but not many.
So hows about you leave the snide comments to yourself eh?
What ?
Sorry but even the harshest of the critics towards Berba accept that he is a very talented players and you just have to watch his bursts of genius on the pitch to see that and I can assure that there aren't 10 strikers who have better first touch/vision/game awareness. His problem is that those bursts are not regular.

And that strikers are generally not judged as much on those things. Not if they arent also putting the ball in the back of the net very often.
